TCL 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G: A paper-like matte-display phone built for eye comfort and reading.
SpecEagle Editorial·Sep 2024·$190·Score 56/100
60 XE NXTPAPER is a niche done well — a matte, glare-free, paper-like display with a one-press mono e-reader mode, aimed at heavy readers and the eye-strain-averse. The Dimensity 6300 and muted screen are the trade. If you read more than you watch, nothing else at $190 feels like this.
