Reviews for the TCL 40 NxtPaper
Source: Trusted Reviews
One of my first paychecks was used to buy an old Asus MemoPad. I used it to read on my bus rides home. It just about fit in my coat pocket, but it was still cumbersome. Had the TCL 40 Nxtpaper been around back then, it would have been a no-brainer. So long as the general performance doesn’t bother you, you want a more accurate digital reading experience, or just want your high screen time to be a little bit better for your eyes, it’s a great get for a low price. For a few other considerations, check out the best cheap phones right now. If you demand good photography chops, you’re going to have to spring for a Google Pixel 6a. You might even be able to reduce eye fatigue with the Honor Magic 6 Lite and nab a snappier, more responsive user experience in the process. Can’t stretch the budget? The TCL 40R 5G is marginally more capable in everyday performance at around the same price.

Unboxing the TCL 40 NxtPaper smartphone, rocking an 'ePaper' display which mimics a Kindle screen - making for easy reading and clear outdoor visibility. This hands-on TCL 40 NxtPaper review covers the camera tech, gaming, video streaming and other features. Note that this isn't the 5G model, which serves up entirely different specs! That screen is a regular TFT-style phone panel, except that it has a multi-layer coating which creates the matte finish and filters blue light. The TCL 40 NxtPaper has many different display modes, to suit different scenarios. I certainly enjoyed reading books and manga, although movies look a little foggy, lacking in sharpness. Also, the camera tech here on the TCL 40 NxtPaper is basic stuff - as you'd expect at this budget price point.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.72%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
