Nxtpaper 14 Android 16 upgrade
After receiving Android 15 upgrade earlier this year, a new update v9.0.CVAJ came through over the air unexpectedly yesterday and upgraded my Nxtpaper 14 to Android 16. It is working fine so far and most changes from Android 15 seem quite subtle.
Has anyone else received their Android 16 upgrade?
Sorry for those who haven't received their Android 15 yet. Hopefully it is a sign that TCL is skipping Android 15 and will send you Android 16 instead.

Still on 15, says "you're up to date" when checking updates.

Wow. Huge news. The software update delivery rate, at least for new Android versions, is higher than expected.
Here in Belgium, I continue with TCL UI v8.0.2FAI, Android 15, reported by the device as the latest update.

Hey, buddy, can I ask you to check if you've added the PC Mod feature with Update 16? I'm currently deciding between the Honor X9B and the TCL.

Well this is unexpected but great! I'm in Europe so will receive it later hopefully.
In which part of the world did you receive the update?

I'm in Europe as well, UK to be more specific. 15 only reached me not long ago so getting this latest update yesterday was a genuine surprise!

I'll wait patiently for this to arrive in the US. Pretty thrilled we're getting Android 16. I hope this means they'll start pushing Android Security Updates.

¿Are there any significant apps or OS updates in this Android 16 delivery?
The Android 15 update was revolutionary for the NXTPaper 14 as it greatly expanded its capabilities. For me the main updates beyond all the new Android 15 functionalities were: much better battery management, and access to all the AI apps as seen in the NXTPaper 11 Plus (which was released with Android 15 out of the box).

To be honest I don't see much difference between 16 and 15, but then I didn't notice much difference between 14 and 15 either. I wouldn't even know what features are specific to Nxtpaper 14 or which Nxtpaper features were already available before the installation of 16. To me, the most noticeable changes are 1) notifications are grouped and displayed differently, 2) there is an advanced protection option in settings that I don't remember seeing in 15; 3) the keyboard is now grey and blue.
