Why TCL's NXTPAPER 70 Pro Matters
At the recently concluded AtCES 2026, TCL unveiled its latest addition to the NXTPAPER lineup, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro. This device offers a unique blend of features, making it an interesting choice for tech enthusiasts in North East India and beyond.
A Paper-like Display for Distraction-free Use
The NXTPAPER 70 Pro's primary selling point is its 6.9-inch screen, which boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and a matte finish that mimics the appearance of paper. This feature eliminates the glare often associated with regular smartphone screens, providing a distraction-free user experience, especially in well-lit environments.
Three Display Modes for Versatile Usage
Beyond its paper-like appearance, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro offers three display modes, allowing users to tailor their device's display according to their needs. The Color Paper mode maintains vibrant colors for regular smartphone use, while the Ink Paper mode provides a black-and-white, e-reader-like interface. The Max Ink mode, however, transforms the device into an e-reader, offering AI-based tools for reading and a battery life of up to seven days of reading and 26 days of standby.
A Potential Boon for North East India's Reading Culture
