TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G Unlocked Android Smartphone | 6.8" Full HD+ 120Hz NXTPAPER Display, 512GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 108MP Triple Camera, 5010mAh Battery | Grey

Surprisingly good deal, the handset has a premium feel to it, good specs it certainly won't let you down performance-wise. That being said not a powerhouse but a worthy mid range contender, more than enough juice to handle the day to day tasks and activities flawlessly with a bit of multitasking.The camera gets the job done and well at that but hardly the selling point here. Battery life doesn't disappoint at least in my initial tests, it lasts a lot longer if you run the e-ink mode. Speaking of e-ink, the display is indeed the star of the show here, extremely versatile able to shift between 3 different modes with a simple toggle switch. Bought this one for my father as he's doing most of his reading online these days and this will be a lot easier on his eyes. In conclusion, I'd say it's an extremely good choice considering the good specs/512GB storage you already get value and the brilliant hybrid screen is just an extra at this price point. And if you got the preorder bundle with the free tablet you're laughing.

Great phone. fairly light, and compact. Really Good battery life. Screen is a pleasure to use. Love the fact it has a headphone jack and SD card slot. Performance is fine. Downsides - lack of APTX etc. support. IP rating on the weak side. Cameras OK, not good

Ok i bought this phone TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G because my other phone 4 years old battery not holding a charge for long about half a day. I got this phone for reason, i knew i would like it. It has a matt screen which is fantastic not just to look at but it has a lovely feel when touching the screen. No problem to open apps and nice and speedy no lagging. But i own 4 kindles and love to read and wanted a mobile that could offer me all the comforts of a phone and e-reader without by eye ball burning. By God i have found it, when you put phone to max ink mode you will be surprised how good this phone is as an e-reader, now make no mistake is not exactly like a kindle but its 90% there and in max ink mode you can put up a few app you want, i have kindle, X , and others all work. Have had the phone on now for 24 hours have over 100 hours charge left, I like very much get 3 day without having to charge your phone!!! Only thing is it cant go to dark mode on this max setting but it a pleasure to read on. I can only think how TLC will approve on this phone with the technology . If you want a phone with great battery, wonderful matt screen, and a fab e-reader on a mobile phone this is the one you want. I also bought a cover for the phone SEAHAI Leather Folio Case for TCL 50 Pro NXTPAPER 5G just wonderful very surprised how good it is. TCL have a new long term customer, Just Fab!! Picked it up 260 euros its a steel! Just Fab TCL.

This phone was released in sept 2024, its been sitting on a shelf for a year. It will arrive with 0% battery charge. It will take 5 minutes to charge (slow charge recommended) to 'boot' to the android battery charge screen to show 0%. If you attempt to buy this phone any later than end of 2025 you will have potential battery damage, possibly dangerous. I bought my phone this month (oct 2025) and this 0% battery is what i got. Hopefully my phone will not have battery damage from being in this state (i have no idea how long its been sitting on a store shelf). I have warned you. Great phone, shame that it will arrive like this because its not popular, the turnover will mean you may get a release day stock. Ill update this should i believe mine has battery issues. Ill update to 5star if all is well, drop to 1star if it is f.ubar. Currently 3star to reflect the uncertainty. Phone battery seems to drain inline with same battery capacity of another phone, given review 5stars

To be clear from the start: I never write reviews on Amazon. Ever. But the sheer amount of frustration and disappointment I’ve had with this phone pushed me to break that rule. When I bought it, I genuinely thought I’d found something rare — a phone with an e-ink screen, decent specs on paper, and a surprisingly low price. I honestly believed I wouldn’t need to pay £1,000–£1,500 for a proper phone this time. How utterly wrong I was. This is, without exaggeration, the worst phone I’ve ever owned — and I’ve been using mobile phones since 1999. I’ve had everything: Sony Ericsson, Nokia, seven generations of iPhones, Huawei, HTC, Samsung, even a Redmi. Nothing comes close to how bad this is. The positives? A good-quality e-ink display, plenty of storage at 512 GB, and a battery that seems decent. Everything else? A disaster. The operating system is an absolute mess — borderline unusable. The phone constantly runs with 7 out of 8 GB of RAM consumed with zero apps open. Switching between apps is a joke: the moment you open something else, the first app gets killed off entirely. Go back, and it reloads as if you’re opening it for the first time. Try buying something online and needing to approve the transaction through your banking app? Forget it. By the time you switch back, the checkout page is gone. I literally need two phones just to make a simple online purchase. All in all, this is a complete waste of money, and I genuinely regret buying it. Please — don’t make the same mistake I did.

Kinda regret getting this - my last phone had gorilla glass and I wasn't prepared for how fragile the screen on this one was. A small knock left it shattered and TCL charged £80 to fix it. I've had the repaired version for a few months and already have another small scratch on it. I bought this when it came with a free NXTpaper tablet, so that made it a very cheap option. The inkpaper and colour paper modes both work well on both phone and tablet. No one could confuse it with a genuine e-reader screen, but it really is remarkable quality for something with full smart functionality. So a great experience while it lasts, but I have a nagging suspicion it won't be long before it gets damaged again by normal everyday use, at which point I'll bite the bullet and pay more for a phone with gorilla glass.

Picked a used one up for £180 and at this price it is fabulous vfm. Beautiful matt display is the highlight, but no lagging, a very nicely skinned up to date rendition of android and great battery life. Even if your're not the erader type I would still strongly recommend this phone.

Phone is great for the price, however I have issues with the screen. The matte display looks fantastic however is prone to scratches and scratches very easily. You can't use a screen protector either.
