TCL is at IFA 2024, and it’s just announced two new Android phones. They’re the TCL 50 NXTPAPER and 50 Pro NXTPAPER, and they look excellent.
At IFA 2024, TCL is unveiling a slate of devices that care more about your eyes than putting the latest flagships out there to shame. The latest from the brand is the TAB 11 Gen 2 tablet and a pair of TCL 50 NXTPAPER series phones, all of which blend affordability with clean looks and visual convenience.
The biggest draw, aside from a rather eye-catching look for the camera design, is the paper-like NXTPAPER display tech. But there are a few extra goodies thrown into the mix this year. For example, TCL is bringing the NXTPAPER Key to its phones.
A single click instantly shifts the screen to an e-ink format, which not only reduces eye strain but also extends the battery life so that a single charge can last a whole week. This is somewhat like the Boox Palma but within a full-fledged smartphone package.
Both phones share much of the same hardware. You get a 6.8-inch FHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and the proprietary NXTPAPER tech implemented over 2.5D curved glass. Peak brightness figures reach a respectable 650 nits, and a fingerprint-resistant coating is also applied over the paper-like screen.
