The technology popularized by e-readers, also known as electronic readers, devices designed specifically for
reading digital books or e-books,
is in full evolution. So much so that over the years it managed to adjust to the demands of cell phone users, with a model with a matte frosted screen that
promotes visual comfort similar to paper
.
Nxtpaper is an
innovation for screens
developed exclusively by TCL that offers a visual experience, like those recognized in
Huawei tablets,
Amazon
's Kindle readers
or
Rakuten
's Kobo .
Any user who has read their favorite book in digital version will see many similarities in NxtPaper, although the main peculiarity of this type of screen is in offering
a complete RGB color palette
. Instead of sunlight bouncing off the glossy screen typical of smartphones, this technology provides an anti-glare and anti-blue light experience.

The Chinese TCL presented it first at the CES technology fair in Las Vegas at the beginning of 2024, although only in recent months did the 40 NxtPaper model arrive in Argentina. A device that
looks like any other Android
, but is actually the first and only one in the world to offer a
revolutionary full-color, paper-like visual experience
.
TCL was able to gain notoriety in the market for its
display technology
, from televisions to smart glasses that it presents year after year at technology fairs such as CES. Meanwhile, his company Nxtpaper was first introduced as a prominent feature of the
brand's
affordable line of tablets and computers .
The latest smartphones with this technology offer eye comfort and feature
TÜV-certified hardware
for low and harmful blue light. This group of German organizations try to prevent human beings and the environment from the dangers that come from factories and mechanisms of all kinds.
Users of this Android phone can experience a more comfortable, paper-like, full-color display. Plus, a
built-in sensor
that automatically adjusts screen brightness and color temperature based on time and environment to provide appropriate visual experiences. At night, soft lighting further improves overall visual comfort.

The smartphone's display offers
anti-glare functionality
achieved by producing a paper-like matte effect texture. Along with a
fingerprint smudge-resistant feature
, it makes reading and simultaneously enjoying a sunny day outdoors more comfortable than ever.
The full-color electronic display comes with a
specially designed user interface
, giving users the flexibility to choose between full-color manga or a black-and-white experience ideal for individual preferences.
Whether taking notes, drawing, or checking off that "to-do" list, the paper-like viewing experience becomes even more authentic and effortless.
