Add DeviceSpecifications as a preferred source on GoogleTCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro debuted at CES 2026, positioned as the latest evolution in TCL's NXTPAPER lineup and a continuation of the company's focus on display innovation. The 4th Gen NXTPAPER device centers on a dedicated NXTPAPER key that lets users switch instantly between Color Paper Mode, Ink Paper Mode, and Max Ink Mode, promising a paper‑like reading experience alongside full‑color performance for streaming and everyday use.

Max Ink Mode transforms the display into a monochrome, distraction‑free reading environment and is designed for endurance, with TCL claiming up to seven days of reading time and as much as 26 days on standby. That mode ships with a library of preinstalled books and AI reading tools such as AI Outline, AI Q&A, AI Audiobook and AI Podcast to support deeper engagement with text. When paired with a low‑latency, pressure‑sensitive T‑Pen stylus, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro also offers handwriting input, off‑screen memo capabilities and AI‑generated covers and bullet journals, positioning the device as a hybrid for productivity, creativity and leisure.

TCL emphasized eye comfort as a core selling point, noting international certifications from TÜV and SGS and a suite of seven eye‑care technologies that include a natural light display, zero flicker, blue light purification, anti‑glare and reflection‑free viewing, dim‑light protection, circadian screen comfort and TruePaper Restoration technology. The company said the phone’s nano‑matrix lithography and adaptive software reduce glare and specular reflection for improved outdoor readability, while blue light purification hardware lowers harmful blue light to as little as 3.41 percent. Circular Polarized Light (CPL) is used to mimic natural light characteristics and deliver professional‑grade color accuracy, and SGS‑certified Dim‑Light Eye Protection combined with DC dimming enables smooth brightness and color temperature adjustments down to a 1‑nit minimum for comfortable night use.

Photography and video capabilities are anchored by a 50MP main camera with 1.0 µm pixels and optical image stabilization, supported by a 32MP front camera. TCL's MuseFilm imaging technology is billed as an artistic engine that enhances mood and atmosphere in photos, while super night vision, dual OIS and EIS stabilization with horizon lock aim to improve low‑light and motion capture. A CCD classic filter is offered to impart film‑like tones and nostalgic color rendering.

AI features are tightly integrated across the device. TCL highlighted an AI Smart Interpreter for real‑time subtitles, face‑to‑face translation and simultaneous interpretation, and productivity tools such as Voice Memo that transcribes and summarizes recordings. Creative and comprehension tools assist with writing and editing, and Google Gemini is available for conversational search and on‑screen smart interactions like circling or highlighting to find answers without switching apps. TCL also noted the optional CrystalClip wireless earbuds to enhance audio clarity for translation and media playback.

Under the hood, the NXTPAPER 70 Pro runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset and supports up to 24GB of RAM through an 8GB base plus 16GB expansion configuration, with up to 512GB of storage. A 5200 mAh battery with 33W fast charging is intended to deliver all‑day use, and the phone carries an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. An adjustable stand case is offered for hands‑free viewing and flexible ergonomics.

TCL framed the NXTPAPER 70 Pro as an all‑scenario device that blends long‑form reading, creative input and modern AI conveniences with hardware designed to reduce eye strain and improve outdoor readability, aiming to meet the needs of users who spend extended hours on mobile screens.

The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro will go on sale next month priced at €339 for the 256GB version and €389 for the 512GB variant.
