TCL Brings NXTPAPER Display Tech to Phones

-
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 stylus case are also available. Both models are launching in Europe over the next two months. According to TCL, "details on U.S. availability will be shared in early 2024."

The 5G model has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 chipset instead the Snapdragon 678 in the 4G model. Although the 480 is a 4-series chip, it's newer than the 678 and offers similar performance. The 48 megapixel main camera offers access to the full 48 megapixel resolution, and the fingerprint reader is located on the back instead of the side. Other specs and features are similar to the 4G model, including a huge 6.8-inch full-HD display, wide camera, macro camera, 16 megapixel selfie camera, fast charging, memory card slot, and headset jack. The software is Android 11 with a nearly stock Google interface. Added stylus-oriented software includes the Moto Note app, Coloring Book app, and a customi...

Google Optimizes Android so Apps Take Up Less Space

Google has released a new version of the Android Runtime (ART), a core component that turns app code into lower-level code that can run directly on that specific device. The update contains new optimizations that reduce the resulting code size by about 9.3%. This means most apps now take up less space in both storage and RAM. On the average Android phone, this means a savings of about 50–100 MB in storage. Thanks to Google's modular design of the Android architecture, the ART update does not require a full OS update. http://dlvr.it/Sz0yKl
