    TCL P10 Color Ink Phone: 120Hz Display & AI Eye Protection

    TCL has introduced the P10 Color Ink Eye Protection smartphone in China, priced at 1,998 yuan ($276).

    Features of the TCL P10

    This smartphone sports a 6.78-inch screen utilizing NXTPAPER technology, which has a resolution of 1080 × 2460 and provides a high refresh rate of 120Hz. For those who may not know, NXTPAPER is a display innovation from TCL that offers a viewing experience similar to paper, free from glare, and focuses on eye comfort while being energy efficient. Its matte, anti-reflective surface helps reduce glare and blocks more than 50% of damaging blue light, thus easing eye strain during extended use.

    Enhanced Display Capabilities

    Unlike traditional e-ink displays, NXTPAPER allows for full-color visuals, making the device suitable for reading, watching media, and gaming. It does not require a backlight, reflecting natural light instead, which helps maintain clear and vibrant images while saving battery life, which is particularly beneficial for devices like tablets and e-readers.

    Under the hood, the P10 runs on a Dimensity 6000 series processor and offers 12GB of RAM with storage options of either 256GB or 512GB. The smartphone is equipped with a triple rear camera system, featuring a main camera of 108 megapixels, an ultra-wide-angle lens of 8 megapixels, and a macro lens with 2 megapixels. For selfies, there’s a front camera with 32 megapixels. A standout feature is the NXTPAPER button located on the side, allowing users to quickly access a super reading mode for a better reading experience.

    Design and Battery Life

    With dimensions of 167.6 x 75.5 x 7.99mm and a weight of 196g, the device is crafted to be sleek and easy to carry. It comes with a 5010mAh battery, providing long-lasting usage. Additionally, the smartphone includes a global AI assistant that offers features like AI eye protection, AI writing, and AI voice memos.

    The TCL P10 incorporates NXTPAPER technology, aimed at minimizing blue light and glare for enhanced eye comfort, making it a great choice for individuals who frequently read or browse on their phones.
