The TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G launched at CES 2025, and I went hands-on with it. I was blown away by how good it was for being as cheap as it is.

TCL's Nxtpaper phones have displays that provide protection from blue light and glare, and they're coming to the U.S. for the first time later this year.

TCL is showing off a concept phone at CES that it calls the NXTPAPER Phone, a phone that implements the paper-like display technology the company has put in some of its recents tablets. Unlike almost all other phones on the market today, the display surface has a matte finish, somewhat like paper, instead of the usual glossy glass.
