Mohammedia – At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, a relatively unknown Chinese company called Toall captured attention with a tablet that pushes the boundaries of how thin a portable computing device can be.
Unveiled to the public at the show’s media event, the device — simply dubbed the Paper — measures just 3.1 mm at its thinnest point, making it arguably the slimmest tablet ever shown publicly.
What initially looks like a conventional large-screen Android tablet surprises anyone who picks it up because of its impressively slender profile and featherweight build.
Weighing only about 400 grams, the Paper is significantly lighter than Apple’s 13-inch iPad Pro, which weighs around 579 grams.
Toall’s engineers achieved this design by developing an ultra-thin printed circuit board and incorporating what the company says is the world’s thinnest AMOLED panel at 13.2 inches — a display size that keeps the device competitive with today’s large-format tablets.
Despite its razor-thin body, the Paper includes a “bump” along one edge that houses its connectivity and battery components.
This thicker section holds three physical ports, including Mini HDMI and USB-C, which are unusual on ultra-thin tablets but vital for practical use.

Unfortunately, that design choice also highlights one of the device’s trade-offs: battery life.
Toall told reporters that the Paper’s built-in battery supports only about three to four hours of use, a limitation that could make the slate less appealing for general all-day productivity or entertainment.
The company plans to sell an optional case with additional battery capacity that it says will extend run time to around seven hours.
Available storage options and processor details are still sparse, but hands-on coverage suggests that the tablet may ship in 256 GB and 512 GB configurations and runs Android, with a Chinese-branded chip powering the system.
Pricing has not been officially confirmed by Toall; one preliminary report cited a possible starting price near $1,500, though that figure has not been independently verified.
Toall, founded in 2022, has until now been better known for producing components for virtual reality headsets and wearable technology than for consumer tablets.
The company says it aims to begin global sales of the Paper in March 2026, and it has hinted that in some markets the device might appear under a different brand via third-party partnerships.
The Paper’s debut at CES underscores a broader trend in consumer tech toward extreme thinness and minimalism, even as questions remain about how such designs balance performance and everyday usability.
