TCL has announced Nxtpaper 4.0, the latest generation of its paper-mimicking display technology, and new devices that take advantage of the screen tech, including a tablet and a phone. Here's what you need to know.
What Is Nxtpaper 4.0?
Like previous versions, Nxtpaper 4.0 offers blue light and glare reduction, but the latest iteration of the technology adds a flicker-free experience, enhanced clarity, and improved sharpness. TCL uses nano-matrix lithography technology to etch the display surface to help achieve this result. TCL claims Nxtpaper 4.0 reproduces colors exactly as they are meant to be seen and should accurately replicate them in a range of light conditions. Software features like Smart Eye Comfort Mode take advantage of AI to adjust the display depending on the situation. The idea is to make tech as easy on your eyes as possible.
TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus Tablet
When it is released later this year, the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus Android tablet will be the first device to feature Nxtpaper 4.0. It includes a dedicated Nxtpaper key that activates a monochromatic mode for a more comfortable reading experience, along with support for gestures and multitap inputs.
As is all the rage in the tech world, the 11 Plus has AI capabilities. TCL partnered with Microsoft to build its new AI tools throughout its products. These features generally have names that describe their function, such as Text Assist, Writing Assist, and AI Subtitles. Circle to Search with Google is also on board.
The TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus has an 11.5-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a brightness of 550 nits. Since this is a Nxtpaper 4.0 device, it boasts true color accuracy and automatically adjusts the screen to match the scenario. Its release date, pricing information, and other specifications haven't been disclosed yet.
