TCL 40 NxtPaper 256GB - White - Unlocked

The TCL 40 NxtPaper brings something a little different to the mid-2020s smartphone scene. Released in September 2023, this device is just a year old but already feels like it’s found its niche, thanks to TCL’s unique NxtPaper display technology. While it won’t challenge the flashiest flagships, it’s a clever option for those craving a more eye-friendly experience

Who is this for?

The TCL 40 NxtPaper is great for book lovers, students, and anyone who spends long hours reading, scrolling, or streaming but wants less eye strain than your average phone. Its NxtPaper screen offers a matte, paper-like effect that’s easier on the eyes—finally, a digital escape from glare and reflection. Compared to typical LCD displays in this price segment, TCL’s approach will stand out for e-book fans and note-takers, though you won’t get the richer colours of OLED panels you’ll find on pricier models.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Eye-friendly NxtPaper display minimises glare and blue light. Display resolution capped at HD+ (720 x 1612 px), so not the crispest around. Speedy web browsing and streaming. Plastic build doesn’t feel as premium as glass or metal phones. Triple camera setup covers simple everyday snaps. Performance suited for day-to-day tasks—not a gaming powerhouse.
