Smartphone screens have become increasingly bright, glossy, and attention-grabbing over the years, but they’ve also become increasingly exhausting to stare at for extended periods of daily use. Most manufacturers seem convinced that brighter and more saturated always equals better, even when users spend hours reading documents, browsing articles, or taking notes on their devices. TCL’s NXTPAPER 60 Ultra takes a completely different approach, asking what would happen if your phone screen felt more like paper.
The centerpiece of the NXTPAPER 60 Ultra is its 7.2-inch FHD+ NXTPAPER 4.0 display, which uses multiple layers of anti-glare, anti-reflection, and blue light filtering technology to create a genuinely comfortable reading experience. Unlike typical smartphone displays that reflect ambient light and strain your eyes during extended use, this screen eliminates flicker completely while providing circadian comfort features that adapt to your daily rhythm and changing lighting conditions throughout the day.

The display technology goes beyond just comfort, offering personalized eye protection modes that adjust brightness, contrast, and color temperature based on your individual usage patterns and personal preferences. Whether you’re reading an e-book during your morning commute, editing documents in a bright office environment, or sketching creative ideas late at night, the screen adapts to provide optimal visibility without the harsh glare that makes most phones uncomfortable for serious work.
Under the hood, the NXTPAPER 60 Ultra packs serious performance credentials with a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, 12GB of RAM with an additional 12GB of virtual expansion, and storage options up to 512GB for extensive file storage. Running Android 15 out of the box, it’s one of the first devices to ship with Google’s latest operating system, ensuring long-term software support and access to the newest features and security updates for years to come.
The stylus support elevates the device from a comfortable reading tool to a genuine productivity powerhouse, offering 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and ultra-low latency for natural writing experiences. Combined with the paper-like display texture, taking handwritten notes or sketching feels remarkably similar to using actual pen and paper, making it appealing for students, professionals, and creatives who prefer analog-style input methods over traditional touchscreen typing.
The camera system includes a 50MP 3x telephoto lens with optical image stabilization and a 32MP front camera, ensuring sharp photos and clear video calls for both personal and professional use. The slim design features 2.5D glass with a fiber back cover, available in Dark Black and Alps White colorways that complement the device’s focus on understated elegance rather than flashy aesthetics that demand attention.
The 5200mAh battery with 33W fast charging provides all-day power for intensive reading, writing, and creative sessions without requiring frequent charging breaks during busy workdays. The NXTPAPER 60 Ultra succeeds because it prioritizes user comfort and practical functionality over spec sheet bragging rights or visual spectacle that sacrifices usability. By treating the display as a tool for extended use rather than a billboard for grabbing attention, TCL has created something genuinely different.
