- The TCL 40 NXTPAPER is the first phone with the paper-like feel of the company’s tablets and laptops.

- The phone will have 4G and 5G versions in Europe and land in other countries soon.
TCL has a display technology called NXTPAPER. Appearing on select tablets and laptops, the tech gives the display a paper-like feel. It also dulls the overall look just like paper, making long-term viewing easier on the eyes. If you’ve ever used a Kindle Paperwhite, you have an approximate idea of what this tech is like (but it’s in full color).
At CES 2023, TCL showed off a concept phone with this technology baked in. We were huge fans (check out the video above). Now, the company is rolling out the TCL 40 NXTPAPER and TCL 40 NXTPAPER 5G, the first commercial phones with the NXTPAPER display technology.
