TCL’s P80 Ultra combines Nxtpaper’s matte, paperlike finish with an OLED panel, delivering deeper blacks, better contrast and excellent viewing angles while enabling an always-on display and e-reader‑style monochrome modes. Performance and camera quality remain midrange, but the matte OLED significantly improves usability in bright conditions and reduces flicker. The experience increases anticipation for Apple’s iPhone Duo’s matte inner screen and may prompt wider adoption of matte displays across smartphones. » Más en theverge.com

TCL unveiled the P80 Ultra, its first Nxtpaper phone with a 6.83-inch OLED that switches to a monochrome Max Ink Mode for e-reader-like low-power use. The OLED offers 1.5K resolution, 120Hz, up to 3,200 nits peak brightness and full DCI-P3 coverage, while Max Ink Mode extends the 5,800mAh battery to seven days of active use. The phone uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Elite, 8GB RAM, up to 512GB storage, 45W charging and a 50MP main plus 3x telephoto setup; two cheaper P80 variants were announced with varying features. Devices ship with Android 16 in Europe first, priced from €549 for the P80 Ultra, €429 for the P80 Pro and €349 for the P80. » Más en theverge.com

TCL’s Note A1 Nxtpaper blends a low‑glare matte LCD and pressure‑sensitive stylus with tablet functionality, aiming to simulate a paper‑like writing experience without E‑Ink. The device offers a responsive stylus with haptic feedback, long 8,000mAh battery life and Android app support, but its performance and speakers are only adequate and it lacks features like Max Ink Mode and some UI polish. Built‑in AI tools and transcription work well for basic tasks, though the AI-driven Inspiration Space proved unreliable for deeper analysis. The A1 is a cost‑effective middle ground for users who prioritize handwriting while retaining full tablet capabilities, but it falls short of purpose‑built E‑Ink or premium tablet alternatives. » Más en theverge.com
