TCL’s new Nxtpaper phones have a dedicated button for maximum monochrome
Like a Boox Palma, but a real Android phone.
The TCL 50 Pro Nxtpaper 5G and 50 Nxtpaper 5G follow a couple of budget models launched earlier this year with one important feature update: a button that puts the display into — and I quote — “Max Ink Mode.” Hell yes, gimme that quasi-E Ink mode to the max. The “Nxtpaper key” is a two-stage slider that puts the display into a reader-friendly monochrome mode mimicking e-ink. This mode also extends battery life, and TCL claims you can get up to seven days’ worth of reading out of it — almost like carrying around a regular phone that you can turn into a Boox Palma with the flip of a switch.
