I am comfortable to have a good time the day-long battery life I get with most flagship iPhone and Android handsets, however what in the event that they provided every week of battery life and price $199? Inconceivable, proper? Not if you happen to’re TCL, apparently. At present at CES 2025, the Chinese language electronics large finest identified for reasonably priced big-screen TVs is bringing the TCL 60XE NXTpaper 5G Android cellphone to the US and Canada and, sure, it matches this invoice.
This lively 6.8-inch handset achieves 7 days of battery life utilizing TCL’s proprietary NXTPaper know-how. TCL calls it E Ink-like however this isn’t digital paper know-how (I beforehand noticed it on the 14-inch TCL NxTPaper 14 Professional). The FHD+ display screen remains to be LCD however makes use of a collection of layers to kill reflectivity and take away blue mild. The mix provides NXTPaper-based screens an virtually matte-paper, magazine-like look.

So, sure, they’re straightforward on the eyes but additionally so much much less shiny. NXTPaper’s know-how makes it extra of a power-sipping show. The TCL 60XE won’t run on this mode on a regular basis, although. There is a bodily change on the cellphone to allow the NXTPaper impact, and the 7-day battery life can be if you happen to used it in NXTPaper mode 24/7 (standby can be an astounding 26 days).
Apparently, this new cellphone will not even function the most recent version of TCL’s NXTPaper know-how. TCL advised us that NXTPaper 4.0 will arrive later this yr, however solely on its new TCL NXTPaper 11 Plus pill, additionally introduced at CES. NXTPaper 4.0 makes use of nano-matrix lithography, a brand new display screen etching course of to create microstructures on the quilt glass that successfully kill reflections with out undermining visible high quality.
It isn’t clear when NXTPaper 4.0 will arrive on handsets. The subsequent neatest thing, NXTPaper 3.0, is out there on the TCL 60XE, in addition to just a few different attractive options which may make it a shock winner within the 2025 Android market.
Specs that embody a 50MP entrance digicam, 32MP rear digicam, 256GB storage, and 8GB of RAM (expandable to 16GB) would usually add as much as a cellphone that prices no less than $800. However TCL is bringing within the TCL 60XE at $199 within the US and Canada.
That is an unheard-of worth for a cellphone that may final for days on a change (relying on how typically you employ the NXTPaper mode). As for construct high quality, digicam functionality, and general efficiency, I will know extra after I get my arms on the brand new Android handset.
