These are two mobile phones, the TCL 50 NXTPAPER and the TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER, as well as a large format tablet, the TCL NXTPAPER 14.
The price of these devices starts from 229 dollars of the TCL 50 NXTPAPERand rises to 279 dollars in the Pro model. For its part, the tablet rises to 399 dollars. These are devices on which the screen, at first glance, can already be perceived as different, and which can be very interesting for those looking to use their cell phone intensively.

Without a doubt, the point that stands out most about these devices is their screen, since this, although it is an IPS panel, has technology capable of improving the way we view the content on the smartphone. Its appearance itself is slightly different, with a matte touch that makes the screen less dirty and this sets it apart from other devices.
Beyond that, the device has a streaming assistant capable of alerting you when a situation arises that degrades the viewing experience. For example, It will be able to warn you when it detects that there is very little light in the environment, or that the device moves a lot while you view it, among other cases.

These TCL 50 NXTPAPER and TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER also coincide in their design, integrating a rear with a dual camera module. It is true that this is not the most elegant point of the device, but it makes up for it with its fairly refined front part since it only has a hole in the screen.
