TCL, a renowned player in the global electronics market, has recently unveiled its first smartphones featuring NxtPaper screens. The TCL 40 NxtPaper and TCL 40 NxtPaper 5G are the world’s first smartphones to offer a paper-like visual experience with full color, marking a significant milestone in the company’s quest to revolutionize display technology.
A New Approach to Screen Technology
The NxtPaper technology, developed in-house by TCL, offers full color electronic paper-like displays. This innovative technology aims to blend the difference between a traditional phone screen and an e-reader, providing a unique paper-like appearance for improved eye comfort. The NxtPaper screens are designed to minimize glare and fingerprints, making outdoor reading smoother and more enjoyable.
The NxtPaper technology also includes a sensor that adjusts display brightness and color temperature based on the surrounding environment. This feature ensures a comfortable viewing experience, regardless of the lighting conditions. Moreover, the NxtPaper UI allows users to toggle between full color or a black-and-white mode, adding flexibility to the user experience.
The TCL 40 NxtPaper Series
The TCL 40 NxtPaper series includes two models: the TCL 40 NxtPaper and the TCL 40 NxtPaper 5G. The non-5G model features a 6.78-inch display, 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, dual speakers, a 32-megapixel front-facing camera, and a triple-camera system anchored by a 50-megapixel main rear camera. This model is priced at €199, which converts roughly to $215.
The 5G model, on the other hand, comes with a 6.6-inch display, 256GB of storage, 6GB of RAM, a 50-megapixel main rear camera, and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. This model is priced at €249, which converts roughly to $270. Despite being a 5G model, it has slightly downgraded specs compared to the non-5G version.
Both models are set to be released globally later this year, with the initial launch in Europe before moving to other territories.
