TCL has finally brought its NxtPaper technology to its smartphone lineup. This technology represents a notable step as it combines the vibrant colors of a full-color digital display with the qualities of an e-paper. The first two smartphones to feature this revolutionary technology are the TCL 40 NxtPaper and the TCL 40 NxtPaper 5G. Now, let’s dive into the specs, expected price, and availability of the TCL NextPaper phones in Nepal.

What is NxtPaper?

Unlike traditional E-Ink displays, NxtPaper technology ensures that it emits light within ranges that are considered safer for your eyes by tuning the LED blue light spectrum to release safer ranges. This results in a reduction of harmful blue light by as much as 61%, all while preserving the original onscreen colors. This technology was initially introduced through an 8-inch tablet and has since found its way into more devices, including laptops and tablets. Now, TCL is extending its NxtPaper technology to smartphones.
