Last year, at CES 2023, I got my first look at a phone called the TCL NXTPAPER Phone Concept. The concept took the NXTPAPER display tech from TCL’s tablets and brought it to an Android smartphone for the first time. Although the phone itself wasn’t terribly exciting overall, the idea of having a smartphone display look and feel like a Kindle display was novel and exciting.
As its name suggests, though, this concept wasn’t destined to hit the market. But TCL eventually did roll out commercial smartphones with the same technology. Now, one year later, the company has rolled out NXTPAPER 3.0, which will debut with the TCL 50 series. I had some hands-on time with the line-up at CES 2024, and I’ve gotta admit: I officially want my next phone to have a NXTPAPER screen.
