TCL NxtPaper 70 Pro hands-on

"The headline feature on the NxtPaper 70 Pro is its massive 6.9-inch NxtPaper 4.0 display. Like all entries in the NxtPaper lineup, this is an IPS LCD panel with a matte coating that reduces glare and reflections. This makes everything from reading to watching videos much easier on the eyes. It's kind of like an e-ink display, though you still get full 100% sRGB color gamut coverage, an adequate FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. TCL also claims 900 nits peak brightness."

"NxtPaper 70 Pro also brings a custom switch called the NxtPaper key, which toggles the display between its distinct profiles. Color Paper mode features rich and vibrant colors for regular use. Ink Paper mode goes grayscale for a more pleasant reading experience, while Max Ink Mode goes a notch further by going monochrome and also enabling longer battery life. TCL claims up to 7 days of reading or 26 days of standby."

"While we're certainly fans of TCL's approach with NxtPaper displays, The NxtPaper 70 Pro's display features a bevy of eye-care features, including zero flicker and blue light purification. There's also stylus support via the optional TCL T-Pen - a nice option if you're into jotting down notes or sketches on your phone. TCL also added some neat features like AI handwriting input and an off-screen memo."

The phone includes zero flicker, blue light purification, optional TCL T-Pen stylus support, AI handwriting input, textured rear material, redesigned camera bump, and Android 16 with a near-stock interface.
