TCL has unveiled the NxtPaper 60 Ultra, a smartphone built around the company’s latest NxtPaper 4.0 display technology. The device aims to deliver a reading-friendly experience without compromising on modern smartphone capabilities.
Display Technology
The NxtPaper 60 Ultra features a 7.2-inch IPS LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. What sets this display apart is TCL’s NxtPaper 4.0 technology, which introduces advanced blue light filtering and a proprietary nano-matrix lithography process for the screen etching. According to TCL, NxtPaper 4.0 virtually eliminates screen reflections and minimizes glare, creating a paper-like reading experience that is significantly easier on the eyes during extended use.
This makes the device particularly appealing to users who consume large amounts of text content — whether reading ebooks, articles, or documents — without the trade-offs typically associated with E Ink displays.
Camera System
A notable addition is the 50MP telephoto camera, which brings optical zoom capabilities to the NxtPaper lineup for the first time. This is complemented by a primary camera sensor that handles standard photography duties. The inclusion of a dedicated telephoto lens represents a significant step up from previous NxtPaper devices, which focused more on the display experience than camera versatility.
Stylus Support and Productivity
The NxtPaper 60 Ultra includes stylus support, transforming the large display into a note-taking and drawing canvas. This positions the device as a hybrid between a smartphone and a compact tablet, appealing to users who want a single device for both communication and creative work.
Target Audience
TCL’s NxtPaper lineup has carved out a niche for itself among users who prioritize eye comfort and reading experience. The 60 Ultra expands on this foundation with meaningful camera and performance upgrades, making it a more well-rounded device that does not force users to sacrifice photography or productivity capabilities for the sake of display quality.
The device faces competition from traditional smartphones and e-readers alike, but its unique display technology gives it a distinct value proposition in an increasingly crowded market.
