TCL Debuts NXTPAPER 60 Ultra and 70 Pro in the Philippines
New smartphone series features specialized paper-like displays to combat digital eye strain.
TCL has expanded its mobile portfolio in the Philippines with the launch of the NXTPAPER 60 Ultra and NXTPAPER 70 Pro. These devices introduce specialized display technology designed to mimic the appearance of paper, specifically targeting users seeking to reduce screen glare and eye fatigue.
The premium NXTPAPER 60 Ultra enters the market at PHP 35,995, configured with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The device features a 7.2-inch FHD+ NXTPAPER display, is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, and includes a 50MP 3X periscope telephoto camera for enhanced zoom capabilities.
Positioned as a more accessible alternative, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro is priced at PHP 22,995 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. This model utilizes a 6.9-inch 120Hz NXTPAPER 4.0 display and is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. Both smartphones ship with Android 16 and are currently available for purchase through TCL's official Shopee store.
The Shift Toward Eye Comfort
TCL's NXTPAPER technology attempts to bridge the gap between traditional high-brightness screens and the matte quality of physical paper. While standard OLED and LCD panels are prone to reflections and emit significant blue light, the NXTPAPER series focuses on outdoor visibility and long-term visual comfort. This strategic move allows TCL to carve out a niche in the Southeast Asian market by offering a hardware alternative to industry-standard glossy displays.
Market Implications
The introduction of these devices provides a specialized tool for a growing segment of professionals and students who spend extended hours reading or working on mobile devices. By competing in the mid-to-high range price bracket, TCL is challenging established brands not on raw processing power alone, but on the health and ergonomics of the user experience. The focus on reducing digital eye strain addresses a common pain point for heavy mobile users in the Philippines.
What to Watch
As these devices hit the market, the primary point of interest will be how consumers balance the trade-off between the paper-like matte finish and the vibrant color saturation typically found in traditional displays. While the core specifications and pricing are now official, the long-term software support roadmap for these specific models remains to be fully detailed by the manufacturer.
