TCL's NXTPAPER is no ordinary tablet. It is the first device to use TCL's new smart screen technology NXTPAPER, on an LCD or AMOLED panel, which has many advantages of an E-Ink screen but in color and with a refresh rate high enough to make Google Android a usable operation. system on it. This is part of TCL's CES 2021 announcements and other proof of how it is bringing its technological prowess from screen to mobile.
The color screen measures 8.8 inches, has a resolution of 1440 x 1080, and is based on IPS technology similar to many LCD screens found on tablets, laptops, and (in a few cases) smartphones. The difference here is that there is no backlight and the NXTPAPER technology reuses natural light to illuminate the screen. This means that there is no flicker or harmful blue light, which makes the screen safer and more comfortable to use for long periods of time, and you don't have to worry about it ruining your sleeping habits. TCL has obtained 26 different patents related to eye protection for the NXTPAPER screen technology.
It may remind you of the benefits of e-ink or e-paper screens, often used on e-readers like the Kindle. Don't make the mistake of thinking this is a tablet just for reading e-books - this is a full screen with a full range of color reproduction and a refresh rate of 30 Hz. It is just as much at home to play videos or games, and it will do so for many hours as well. There is a 5,500mAh battery inside and the NXTPAPER display is 65% more power efficient than standard LCD displays (it helps that there is no backlight). TCL says the tablet will last more than a full day of use. An unnamed octa-core processor provides the power, there's an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera for video calling. Finally, there is both Wi-Fi and 4G connection.
You get many of the benefits of an e-reader, but with consistent tablet colors and refresh rate.
Since the NXTPAPER display is very thin, the tablet itself is also svelte at just 7.4mm thick and weighs only 316 grams (0.7 pounds). In most cases, the lack of a built-in backlight won't be a problem, but for those times when there isn't enough natural light for the technology to do its magic, TCL has packed an external light pack to inside the box. At the moment, NXTPAPER technology is designed for large-format hardware like tablets, and there is no indication when or if it will reach smartphone-sized devices.
For now, TCL is pushing the NXTPAPER tablet towards people who use big-screen devices for productivity, such as in education and the workplace, due to how the technology can reduce eye strain and damage. long-term, as well as improvements in battery life. . Initially, the NXTPAPER tablet will be sold in Europe, Asia and parts of Africa from April and will cost 350 euros, or around $ 425.
