TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultrachat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

The matte NXTPAPER display is the star of the show, praised as transformative for tired eyes. Multiple long-term users describe the layered matte screen as a 'miracle' that eliminates the eye strain, headaches, and nervous-system overstimulation they got from OLED or regular LCD screens, crediting flicker-free DC dimming and reduced blue light. Reading, note-taking, and gym use in bright light are highlighted as strong points, though it's explicitly not as sharp or sunlight-legible as dedicated e-ink devices.

A vocal minority report the display coating causes severe headaches, especially with astigmatism. Several commenters describe trying the phone for days to weeks, only to suffer nightmarish headaches or eye strain within minutes, attributing it to a visual offset from the coating's circular polarization. They warn people with astigmatism to test it in person first, and some ultimately resold the phone, saying no display setting fixed the issue despite otherwise liking the device.

Everyday performance, cameras, and connectivity are acceptable but clearly non-flagship. Users note mediocre chip performance compared to true flagships, so-so cameras despite decent specs, weak WiFi and mobile signal, low call volume, no wireless charging, and stylus incompatibility between NXTPAPER generations. Software update support is a repeated complaint, with buyers frustrated by vague or short update promises versus competitors like Samsung, tempering enthusiasm for an otherwise well-priced, innovative device.
