Compared to a decade ago, today’s smartphones look largely the same. Most of them have exactly the same design, use the same chipset, cost the same same unpleasant prices<\/em> (And it’s only getting worse), and most of them use displays that are extremely bright, vibrant, and generally not good for your eyes.<\/p>\n

This is where TCL’s NXTPAPER series of phones comes in. Last year, I was impressed with the NXTPAPER 60 Ultra, but North American users never got a chance to try it, and that phone was the size of a tablet. Thankfully, TCL is bringing the same excellent NXTPAPER 4.0 technology to North America in a phone that’s a little smaller, and it’s a real gift for anyone looking to try something different.<\/p>\n
