Unveiling the Hidden Gem: TCL Nxtpaper Technology
In the vast landscape of smartphones, where glossy screens and vibrant displays dominate the market, a hidden gem shines through. While popular brands like iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel boast cutting-edge technology, it’s the budget-friendly TCL phones that have captured my heart with their innovative Nxtpaper display.
The magic of Nxtpaper lies in its versatility. As a flagship product from TCL, a renowned TV manufacturer, these devices offer a unique visual experience that sets them apart from the competition. One standout feature is the matt coating on the display, reminiscent of the Xiaomi Pad 7 Matte Glass Version, which eliminates unwanted reflections and ensures excellent visibility in any lighting conditions, even direct sunlight.
But what truly sets TCL phones apart are the multiple display modes they offer. Beyond the standard color mode that delivers rich and vibrant visuals, users can switch to the ‘Color Paper Mode’ for a softer, paper-like experience, or the ‘Ink Paper Mode’ for a black-and-white display that reduces eye strain. Additionally, the ‘Max Ink Mode’ not only conserves battery life but also minimizes distractions by limiting access to only seven select apps.
Having experienced Nxtpaper technology firsthand at MWC 2025, I can attest to its appeal for those seeking a more focused and immersive smartphone experience. The ease of switching between display modes using the physical ‘Nxtpaper key’ adds a layer of convenience that enhances the overall user experience.
Beyond its innovative display technology, the TCL 60 Nxtpaper offers a compelling package with features like a 108Mp rear camera, MediaTek Helio G92 chipset, and a robust 5200mAh battery—all at an attractive price point of €199. While the device may not be immediately available in the UK or US, the 60 SE Nxtpaper 5G, priced at £179.99, offers a glimpse into the future of budget-friendly smartphones in Europe, albeit with slightly toned-down specs.
Recognized as one of Tech Advisor’s Best of MWC 2025 Awards, the TCL 60 Nxtpaper embodies a blend of innovation, functionality, and affordability that resonates with tech enthusiasts and budget-conscious consumers alike. As I eagerly await the global expansion of TCL’s Nxtpaper lineup, I remain convinced that these devices are more than just smartphones—they represent a new frontier in display technology that prioritizes user experience above all else.
