At CES 2026, the Chinese company TCL introduced the NxtPaper 70 Pro smartphone, which became the next step in the development of the proprietary matte display technology NxtPaper.

Such a gadget will interest users who read a lot, work with text, or are looking for a smartphone with the most comfortable screen. The novelty combines the capabilities of a regular smartphone and a reading device, retaining a color display, high refresh rate, and stylus support.

What is known

The smartphone is equipped with a 6.9” Full HD+ display with a frequency of 120 Hz and brightness up to 900 nits. The NxtPaper 4.0 panel combines a matte anti-glare coating, blue light filtering, and flicker-free operation, ensuring comfort for the eyes. A separate NxtPaper button is located on the body, allowing you to instantly switch between Color Paper, Ink Paper, and Max Ink modes — from color "paper" display to almost E-Ink-like black and white.

The TCL NxtPaper 70 Pro supports the T-Pen stylus, which works with handwriting, notes when the screen is off, and AI functions like generating covers and visual elements. This makes the device a hybrid of a smartphone and a digital notebook.

The performance is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, and autonomy is provided by a 5200 mAh battery with support for 33 W charging. In Max Ink mode, the smartphone can stand by for up to 26 days.

Specifications are complemented by 8 GB of RAM and storage of 256/512 GB with the possibility of expansion via a microSD card.

The TCL NxtPaper 70 Pro has a modest set of cameras: a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and an additional 8 MP sensor, and a 32 MP front camera.
