would it be unlocked after 1 month of use? - No you have to wait for 365 days but dont need to pay for service after the first month
would it be unlocked in 1yr if i cancel subscription after 1month? - Yes. Technically, there is nothing to cancel since it's prepaid. Just dont opt for autopay and ignore text/email notifications to top up
Community Reviews
The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro stands out as a 6.9-inch reading and media phone with a matte, paper-like display that cuts glare and feels close to e-ink. It is praised for comfortable reading, blue-light reduction, decent battery life, expandable memory, an IR blaster, and a screen that works well for articles, maps, and offline navigation. The main tradeoffs are that the display is not true e-ink, colors and sharpness can feel muted, and the matte surface can still glare at certain angles. Metro locking and unlock timing are also a concern, since the phone is tied to Metro for 365 days before unlocking.
The phone can work with T-Mobile SIMs after activation, including setups that require a reboot.
The NXTPAPER matte display can reduce eye fatigue for reading compared with traditional screens.
The device can continue working with US Mobile after the initial Metro service period ends.
The phone can support offline navigation by using Google Maps offline downloads with GPS for core routing.
AutoPay can trigger an unwanted next-month auto payment, so ordering with AutoPay enabled can create extra hassle.
Unlocking reportedly requires waiting 365 days after activation, which can delay plans to switch carriers or resell sooner.
Screen protectors may distort the NXTPAPER display because TCL reportedly advises against them due to the screen's etching.
SIM compatibility is not guaranteed, since some units reportedly stay locked to Metro eSIM and reject T-Mobile or Tello SIMs.
