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!

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.

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. 👍

[@thecodemongoose]

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

[@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 🤓

[@jaxexe9408]

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

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.

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

[@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?

[@thindo]

[@Glenrsi]

Absolutely brilliant and a bargain for the price, love 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.

[@plunder1956]

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

[@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 🤠

[@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😂

[@AgusArena-ye2gm]

This is the best and most clarifying review I've seen about this phone. Thank you

[@dan13770]

Ive seen this phone in person. Given the lack of availability in e-ink phones, this is actually a great compromise.. a lot less glare and so much easier on the eyes than the typical smartphone.

[@Myo.mechanic]

Really? I havent seen any . The oled is fibrant and can go down a lot. How is this less glaring?

[@dan13770]

@@Myo.mechanic the screen is a lot less reflective. I have compared it side-by-side with my current phone which has a matte screen protector and the NXTPAPER throws off a lot less light. Plus the 2 'e-paper' modes reduce the vibrancy significantly, making it even more comfortable viewing.

[@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.

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.

[@Fieryaleeco]

I understand it's confusing but as far as I can tell no-one has done anything wrong here. The title of the video & description say "E-Paper Style". Nothing about E Ink, the technology made by the identically named E Ink Corporation (which is often synonymous with E-Paper technology) Meanwhile nowhere on TCL's website do they ever utter anything related to "E-Ink". Only NXTPAPER or Electronic Paper (E-Paper) E-Ink is E-Paper, but E-Paper is not always E-Ink.

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

so can I just buy anti glare / mate screen protector into any phone?

[@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!

[@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.
