Full Colour E-Paper Style Smartphone | TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G Unboxing

[@TechSpurt]

Cheers for checking out my TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G unboxing. That IPS screen boasts an E-Paper style finish that's just as anti-glare as a Kindle, perfect for outdoors shenanigans. Check out the new TCL NXTPAPER 50 using this link: www.amazon.co.uk/TCL-50-Pro-NXTPAPER-5G/dp/B0DCJR98WF And there's a Black Friday sale coming between Nov 13th and Dec 3rd. Nice!

[@maomekat2369]

Its not epaper, and it would be misleading for the company to call it that. They have some eye care features, but that's it. It's LCD.

[@pixelgaming7261]

@@maomekat2369 If you read his comment, it said E-Paper style finish, not E-Paper display.

[@ImpactingInfluencers]

Hey Tech Spurt, your unboxing of the TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G with that full-color e-paper style was really interesting! You do a great job showing off the tech behind the display. I’d love to discuss how my agency can help manage brand partnerships, giving you more time to focus on producing awesome videos like this one!

[@HugeYFronts]

hey Spurty McSpurtface, its November 13th and i see no TCL black friday deals anywhere on t'internet, what gives?

[@benfunnell9092]

Awesome review.... Looks a really good phone. But of me this. Lol This review has made me want to go and get one. Found it a thoroughly good review. 👍

[@iainlivingstone319]

Thanks Uncle Spurt actually getting a proper review of this phone 👍 a lot of negative comments, but I actually applaud TCL for trying something different, I had the 40 pro nxpaper and gave it to my friend who's had eye surgery and it's helped him so much 👍 thank you for reviewing this and I probably will get it as a secondary phone 🤓

[@thecodemongoose]

Just got this phone. Never looking back. for a couple of years.

[@jaxexe9408]

wow a phone that actually has expandable storage, a headphone jack, and decent operating power! this will definitely be my next phone!

[@dtay8913]

And a reasonable price. I was looking for a new backup phone and with all of these features, this will be it.

[@mosesvice7998]

Nord ce 4 lite, bro

[@thistimeimhere]

Just picked one up for 230. Seems a bargain.

[@ericharrison619]

Makes me wonder how many people buy this thinking it has an actual e-ink display somehow layered in with the IPS. I do like the anti-reflective part of it. Good review Mr. Spurt.

[@gumzster]

It's almost like he's being paid to do an ad for the company...but nah, that can't be it.

[@phero6933]

The amount of people in the comments saying "well actually its an LCD display" clearly didnt pay attention to the video. He literally calls out that its an IPS display....

[@marksouthwell4490]

Exactly! Maybe they have poor attention spans

[@gumzster]

@@marksouthwell4490 oooor...maybe they actually know what an e-paper device is?

You can say that again, some people don't listen to understand some just listen to respond.

[@camotech1314]

​@@qedindabakhumalo1111 a lot of people just turn down or tune out the audio to be honest.

[@intheair1987]

Lol title says ePaper and somewhere in the video says eink. Perfect case of click bait and you're denying people's frustration of being let down.

[@praktikalpinoytechgsm8496]

so is it better? would you use it?

[@Samu.i]

Guys I know it's not E-ink but trust me it's VERY convincing, you have to see this one in person, go in a store and see. I saw this one recently and oh my, i Trilly believed it was a fluid E-ink for some time. Good job TCL They're really trying to do something different

[@anthonyreed480]

I'm 99% sold, but if it's not truly e-ink then is it really protecting your eyes?

[@Glenrsi]

Absolutely brilliant and a bargain for the price, love it.

[@plunder1956]

A very interesting option for people like me who don't need game-ability just reading & watching content.

[@thindo]

Micro sd tick... 3.5mm headphone jack tick... Side mounted fingerprint sensor tick... Already doing a lot better than more premium phones 😊😊

[@Jedbullet29]

Uncle Spurt, unless I'm mistaken (totally possible as on my third pint of WildCat) this is an lcd display with a minimalist type B&W power saving less distracting optional mode. I think it's the rather jolly good anti glare and rejection coating that makes it more like a book in sunshine (or e-ink). Love that matt back patterning and the booklike packaging. Interesting phone that i would appreciate if we ever got any sunshine in blighty. Right cheers Uncle, back to my Cairngorms Brewery Wildcat, reminds me of 80/° in my good old student days in Scotland.... hic

[@phero6933]

You're not mistaken, he literally says it's an IPS display.

[@Jedbullet29]

@phero6933 yeah his actual unboxing was a bit unclear, his short was in fact entirely clear. I knew what uncle Spurt meant anyway and I'm still interested but would want to actually see it myself in bright light to evaluate how good that anti glare reflection coating is. I use minimalist launcher on my phone at the mo so a black and white mode is right up my street. Thanks for clarifying which is what I was trying to do but wildcat got in the way cheers 🤠

[@DevilDribble]

I'll definitely be buying another TCL phone I've been impressed with this for the price. One thing to note: the screen scratches fairly easily and it's not practical to fit a screen protector on it because of the matte texture. If I knew this, I'd just buy a standard TCL phone and get a matte screen protector for it.

[@drachna]

I'm looking forward to the full review of this, I'd almost be tempted to sell my S21 FE to buy one, though I'll probably wait for variations on this technology to mature.

[@amansolankie]

For that anti-reflective and smudge-free feel, I just apply a matte screen guard to my current phone.

[@marksouthwell4490]

I have a matte screen protector on one of my phones . iPhone SE 3. This has an LCD display and the matte screen protector makes it just as visible as my 2000 nit android phone in bright outdoor conditions. The matte screen protectors are great !

[@1vbAPiYk]

that's not the same bro, trust me.

[@edyloi]

I hav TCL 40 4G, and 2 old phones with matte screen protectors. In terms of clarity and anti glare, its at diff league. Also TCL 40's light adaptive software is also smarter than both my old phones (which adds to eye comfort). Anyway, TCL marketing may have mislead the audience to believe its actually matching e-ink display...unfortunately its not, its totally irrelevant (LCD vs eink)

[@selfissimo]

No protection feels always better, you know😂

[@TheDesertsweeper]

Would have been nice to know exactly how much battery-saving the paper-mode gives

[@nathanaelkadron6974]

I can’t be the only one that thinks this idea is so cool.

[@tomasm6664]

do u think changing from an iphone to this would be a good idea?

[@5idi]

So all it takes from e-paper is the coating? Can it display without light? No? Then 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@gumzster]

E-paper? it's an LCD screen?

[@bennybouken]

TCL does call it "Full-color electronic paper display" on their website though

[@ivy9770]

Yes

[@gumzster]

@@bennybouken a company can't redefine a word like that! And this youtuber obviously knows it's not an e-paper display! Why defend it?

[@sanchezsanchez2022]

Great review. Where did you find info about security patching time length, as I couldn't find it on TCL's website.

[@moooozart]

Tried it at store. I do like the phone but as someone used to using e-ink reader, I still find the display not on par with e-ink. It's anti-glare, yes, but not really doing enough for minimizing eye-strain.

[@celticking619]

Have you done a Samsung Watch review or unboxing

[@terrybaaca1654]

I'm really looking forward to the full review. I want to know about the performance. Can it match at least my oneplus 8 pro. Should be roughly the same? Could I use it as main phone? Not gaming just regular user..

[@nilanjandas6928]

Just gotta know that TCL makes smartphone too. That book-like box is really aesthetic. And the animations of those different paper style modes are nicely developed. Honestly speaking, I realised that this video is sponsored, just looking at the duration.

[@yensteel]

Its not epaper, and it would be misleading for the company to call it that. They have some eye care features, but that's it. It's LCD.

[@nixonmalasi8982]

[@marksouthwell4490]

An LCD with a special coating ' which resembles E-paper '

[@TheJastaprasta]

It is Ips screen. It's like e-paper, but it is better. Display have nano coat, that make it matte, and feels like paper. You have to touch it to understand. Also minimizes blue light strain on the eyes.

[@PomuLeafEveryday]

​​@@TheJastaprastaE-Paper is not a thing. E-ink is. It's misleading, but there's no definition for e-paper.

[@gaylehillman4826]

I have the 14 Nxtpaper tablet and love the stylus capability. I was led to believe this phone had the same capability but am unable to find the stylus or the case with built in stylus slot for this phone in the UK despite it being shown on the TCL website

[@theredbeardedpanda]

Was on the fence about it, as I need to cut down on the glare, and bright apps, and this video has helped direct me to buy it.... at Christmas. Shame the size, moving to this from a Mi 12 will take some getting used to

I thought it was Eink display bt it is IPS. I always wished a 120hz 10bit color E Ink display but who knows are we gonna see that coming or not

[@MarcusS103]

Most the time these phones work just fine on At&t or T-Mobile and the software will work fine here in the states too. Just double check the cell carrier bands the phone supports. I use a vivo here and it works great!

[@selfissimo]

lol, so called free country 😂

[@edyloi]

Hi there, I und you also reviewed the TCL 40 pro before, if I got this, is it worth while to upgrade to this? Is the CPU improvement massive? I gotten my TCL 40 4G about ~USD160, next month TCL 50 pro 5G will be launching at the price of ~USD 280 in my country. Thx.

[@Alexander0189]

I love the idea of this, would be cool if TCL would make a proper flagship version with this tech along with high end cameras etc. I always prefer matte screen protectors so I love this. But sadly I don't think TCL have any interest in making a flagship, I don't think they tend to make any majorly "high end" tech in general, most of it seems to be middle of the road or budget. I do have a decent TCL QLED TV though which has never let me down!

[@philsgaming8715]

Alreet Uncle Spurt, I've had this phone since its release. It's an absolutely cracking phone. By the way when are going to let Mr Wanksock do a review?

Nope, its not true / real E paper screen. That would be a reflective screen- one that can use environment light instead of backlight. Or, some websites say "E-paper does not need power when image is not moving"- something like this. I see different manifacturers and Wikipedia say it a bit diferently. But TCL's marketing is misleading. Oh they did have plans for e-paper, but it seems they ditched it but kept the name and slapped a normal screen...
