TCL has announced a new line of phones that employ NXTPAPER, the company's unique display technology that attempts to offer a "full color paper-like visual experience". Most obviously, the displays have an anti-reflective matte finish. A total of ten extra layers provide various benefits, including reducing disruptive blue light. NXTPAPER has been available in tablets and laptops, but these are the first phones to use the technology. TCL showed off a prototype NXTPAPER phone at this year's CES trade show. (We published a hands-on report.) The two NXTPAPER phones just announced are the 4G TCL 40 NXTPAPER and the TCL 40 NXTPAPER 5G. The 5G model has a 6.6-inch HD+ display, 50 megapixel main camera, MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, 6 GB RAM, 256 GB of storage, 5,000 mAh battery, and NFC. The 4G model, while cheaper, has upgraded specs in some areas, including 8 GB RAM, 6.78-inch FHD+ display, faster fast charging, and a better (32MP) front camera. An optional stylus and s

Google recently released a new version of Android Runtime (ART), a core software layer that all Android apps run on. The update "delivered real-world app start-up improvements of up to 30% on some devices." Starting with Android 12, Google was able to make ART a module separate from the rest of the Android OS. That means the new ART 13 update with faster startup times is available to all Android phones with Android 12 or later. Future ART updates — with performance and security updates, as well as new programming features for developers — will also be available to all Android 12+ phones. Google expects that ART 14 will further "improve performance while reducing code size". http://dlvr.it/Sv2zLc

Motorola and Microsoft are bringing new business-oriented software features to the business-focused Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola. The new features are: fully integrated support for Windows 365 cloud capabilities, and Push To Talk (PTT) integration with the Walkie Talkie feature on Microsoft Teams. The Windows 365 cloud feature lets users stream a full instance of a Windows PC from the cloud, much like a streaming game service. Users can connect an external display (via USB-C), keyboard, and mouse (via Bluetooth) to the phone for a full desktop experience.

Qualcomm is one of several major electronics companies teaming up on a new joint venture to advance the RISC-V architecture. RISC-V is an open-source alternative to the Arm architecture, which is the basis for the chips that power most mobile devices today. Arm is a British company that develops reference designs for the cores at the heart the chips that power most phones. Both Qualcomm and Apple currently license Arm designs for their own chips. Earlier this year, Google announced long-term plans to make Android compatible with RISC-V architectures. Qualcomm says "initial application focus will be automotive, but with an eventual expansion to include mobile and IoT." The new company will be based in Germany. Other partners in the joint venture include Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductors, and NXP. http://dlvr.it/StLc9G
