TCL unveils two new AI-enhanced NXTPAPER smartphones
[South Africa], September 12, 2024 – TCL, a pioneer in display across feature-rich smartphones, tablets, and connected devices, unveiled the TCL 50 PRO NXTPAPER 5G and TCL 50 NXTPAPER 5G.
These AI-enhanced smartphones are set to redefine the market by combining a unique anti-glare screen with competitive pricing. Leveraging advanced AI technology, these models are tailored to enhance reading and viewing experiences. TCL’s cutting-edge NXTPAPER technology, along with the newly integrated NXTPAPER Key, ensures unparalleled eye comfort and exceptional clarity for all types of digital content, allowing users the freedom to seamlessly access and enjoy their content in any setting.
“In today’s connected world, digital consumption is at an all-time high, and consumers demand devices that deliver both performance and ease of use,” said Jefferson Li, the General Manager of TCL Mobile Phone BU. “With our pioneering NXTPAPER technology, the AI-enhanced TCL 50 NXTPAPER phones set a new standard for comfort and safety, offering users an exciting new way to engage in the ‘always-on’ digital world.”
Extended Comfort and Adaptive Viewing in Any Setting
TCL 50 NXTPAPER phones transform screen time into a strain-free, comfortable experience. Equipped with the latest NXTPAPER 3.0 technology, the display adapts to various lighting conditions, helping to minimise harmful blue light and reduce glare, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Certified by TÜV, SGS[1] and Eyesafe[2], and featuring an integrated Eye Care Assistant, these phones promote healthy viewing habits by encouraging breaks and adjusting settings to safeguard your vision, ensuring a satisfying and safe experience during extended digital interactions.
Deep Engagement Through Immersive Reading
The new TCL 50 NXTPAPER phones enhance the regular display experience, making reading digital text feel as natural as traditional paper. In response to user feedback from earlier models, the NXTPAPER Key, previously exclusive to tablets, has now been integrated into the phones, demonstrating TCL’s practical approach to innovation.
The Max Ink Mode, activated by the NXTPAPER Key, transitions the display to an e-ink format designed to minimize eye strain. This mode facilitates comfortable, prolonged reading sessions. This enhanced reading mode not only minimises distractions but also mutes notifications, creating an ideal environment for immersing yourself in novels or conducting thorough document reviews.
It provides a distinctive visual experience with a paper-textured display that closely mimics the feel of printed media, making it perfect for readers seeking authenticity and comfort in their digital interactions. Under Max Ink Mode, the battery life supports up to 7 days of reading and 26 days on standby, enabling deep, uninterrupted engagement with texts without fear of powering down. Moreover, users can access a wide array of reading materials through various applications, promoting a minimalist lifestyle and further enriching the reading experience.
Coupled with a 6.8’’ FHD+ display and a seamless 120Hz refresh rate, the TCL 50 NXTPAPER phones provide interactions that are smooth and natural, ensuring that every scroll, swipe, and action scene is fluid while enhancing overall clarity.
Integrated AI Productivity
Through a partnership with Microsoft, the TCL 50 NXTPAPER phones incorporate cutting-edge AI functionalities to boost user productivity seamlessly.
The Text Assistant facilitates translation, summarisation, and content rewriting, optimising user interaction with text – whether it is for an avid reader or a budding writer. Its Writing Assistant feature lends a hand to users with drafting invitations, emails, work summaries, outlines, and more. Meanwhile, the Voice Memo plays a crucial role by recording, transcribing, and summarising conversations, perfect for busy professionals who are looking to streamline meeting management. For book enthusiasts and knowledge buffs alike, it allows them to record an offline book club or informative seminar, capturing every detail without having to lift a pen.
TCL is committed to technological innovation while placing a strong emphasis on data security. From the data collection to data transfer, processing, storage, and disposal, TCL implements rigorous measures to safeguard user information at every stage.
