Editorial report

TCL 40 NxtPaper technical sheet

The TCL 40 NxtPaper suits anyone looking for a large display with NxtPaper technology and willing to accept a refresh rate lower than most phones of its time. Its 6.78-inch IPS LCD has a 1080 × 2460 px resolution and peaks at 900 nits. The display also has TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification and scratch resistance. At 7.9 mm thick, the phone is thinner than most phones launched around the same time.

Performance is worse than most phones launched around the same time: its AnTuTu v10 result is 261,200. The 90 Hz refresh rate is also lower than most, although the screen offers 396 ppi and NxtPaper technology. The 50 MP camera uses a 1/2.76-inch sensor, smaller than those in most phones of its time, and has no optical image stabilization. The setup also includes 5 MP and 2 MP cameras.

The configuration shown pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage. Its 5,010 mAh battery and 33 W fast charging are typical figures for phones of its time. Android 13, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, stereo speakers, and dual SIM round out the features. With a NeoScore of 5.3, the TCL 40 NxtPaper is aimed at buyers who prioritize its NxtPaper display and slim body, and can accept modest performance and a lower refresh rate.
