TCL Nxtpaper Screens: A Game-Changer
This year, I had the opportunity to experience TCL’s innovative Nxtpaper display technology for the first time. The Nxtpaper 3.0 technology combines vibrant, high-refresh-rate visuals with the comfort of an e-reader-like display. The result is something truly unique.
TCL 50 XL Nxtpaper 5G: A Standout Device
At the top of TCL’s lineup is the TCL 50 XL Nxtpaper 5G, a device that impresses on many fronts. The most striking difference between its Nxtpaper display and a standard LCD screen is the absence of reflection. The Nxtpaper display features a matte finish, unlike the glossy surface of traditional LCDs. During my tests, even under bright outdoor conditions and harsh indoor lighting, the screen remained glare-free, offering crystal-clear visibility no matter the environment. This 6.8-inch display boasts a full HD resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, making it a pleasure to use.
Impressive Specs Under the Hood
The TCL 50 XL Nxtpaper 5G doesn’t just excel in display technology. It also comes with a solid set of specifications, including a 50MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP depth sensor, providing versatility for photography enthusiasts. The phone is equipped with stereo speakers, a 5,010mAh battery that supports 18W wired charging, and a MediaTek 23E+ processor, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
TCL 50 XE Nxtpaper 5G: A Compact Alternative
For those looking for a more compact option, the TCL 50 XE Nxtpaper 5G offers the same Nxtpaper display technology with a slightly smaller and less powerful configuration. This model features a 90Hz display refresh rate and is powered by a MediaTek 6835 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It also includes a 5,010mAh battery with 33W fast charging support and a 32MP front-facing camera for sharp selfies.
Pricing and Availability
TCL has priced the 50 XL Nxtpaper 5G at $229, while the 50 XE Nxtpaper 5G will retail for $199. Both models are expected to be available at select retailers during the third quarter of the year.

SIMs SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages. | Nano-SIM |
Display Type Display Technology => A number of display technologies and types used in mobile phones => TFT (Thin Film Transistor), IPS (In-Place Switching), OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode), Super AMOLED (an even advanced version of AMOLED), Resistive Touchscreen (Resistive touchscreens contain two layer of conductive material with a very small gap between them which acts as a resistance), Capacitive Touchsceen (Capacitive touchscreen technology consists of a layer of glass coated with a transparent conductor) | IPS LCD, 120Hz |

Protection Display Protection => Gorilla Glass is a special alkali-aluminosilicate glass shield with exceptional damage resistance that helps protect mobile displays from scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use, It is always better to go for a smartphone with Gorilla Glass for that added protection and peace of mind. | 1080 x 2460 pixels (~396 ppi density) NxtPaper technology |
Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices). The Operating System allows the user to install and run third party applications (apps), apps are used to add new functionality to the device. | Android 14 |
Chipset Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming. | Mediatek Dimensity 6100+ (6 nm) |
CPU CPU (Central Processing Unit) mostly known as processors, CPU processes instructions in order to carry out certain functions that make your device operate properly. Processors are often described as the brain of computers, smartphones and tablets, Smartphones and tablets rely on processors to carry out their every task, Processors are an incredibly important factor in selecting any type of computing device, including your smartphone. | Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) |
GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. | Mali-G57 MC2 |
Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | microSDXC |

Charging The functionality responsible for recharging batteries in portable devices, such as mobile phones, significantly influences both battery lifespan and the practicality of daily product usage. The charging process, encompassing factors like voltage, current, and completion actions, is contingent upon the battery's size and type. Contemporary battery chargers dynamically adjust charging parameters based on the battery's current charging state. Charging an empty battery poses no safety risk, allowing for a quicker charging process. Consequently, many charging speed benchmarks, including ours, specify the battery level achieved after a 30-minute session on an empty battery. Standard chargers with a power output of 5V/1A, equivalent to 5W, serve as a baseline, with anything surpassing this speed classified as quick or fast charging. | 18W wired |

SAR SAR (Specific absorption rate): Each GSM handset has a radio transmitter and receiver in order to operate in the wireless GSM network. That transceiver is manufactured so that when used next to the ear and when worn on the belt, it won't exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency energy set by the authorities. The authorities in question here are the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government, Industry Canada of the Canadian Government (IC), and the Council of the European Union. |
