You've Never Seen a Screen Like This...

So this is pretty cool. This is the TCL Next Paper

There's really nothing else quite like it in the smartphone game. It is this dual display situation where you can have like a color e-ink experience

for tremendous battery life and reading with almost no eye fatigue. And then you flip a switch and you've got a full-fledged vibrant smartphone

There's nothing else like it that I'm aware of, at least nothing else like it that I have seen

and that is always exciting in the smartphone business because that's not always the case

Yeah, when it's in the e-ink mode, it's basically no reflection at all

Paper display, AI is built in because it wouldn't be, what is it, 2025

It wouldn't be 2020, it's almost 2026. It wouldn't be 2020 anything if you didn't have AI on the back of the box

Oh, check it. Look at that experience. You're getting a little animation effect happening there

Oh, it actually looks better even on camera. Look at that. Okay, I'll just do that a few times for you there

You see the vibrance. Cool. The TCL Next Paper 60 Ultra is the name of it

It looks like they've shrunk that bezel there. Your choice for eye care

See beyond greatness. Now, I don't think this is retail packaging here, obviously

But I appreciate it. After all, this channel's called Unbox Therapy. I appreciate it

Look at the labels on the boxes. It's like an adventure here. It's looking like Harry Potter on the inside of here

Look at the little treasure map and some kind of tree feather

lightning. They've got the book representing the phone, the original phone, the book. That's

actually a fountain pen. This is going to be our stylus, I guess. Lightning bolt. This will probably

be our power brick. Tree branches. Maybe it's like a braided cable. And lastly, sim tool, paperwork

I don't know. So let us check out the device. And I have not seen this before. This is

a big device. They went a whole different direction with it. Look at this thing

This is massive. You have this elastic piece and you just carry it around like this

Wow. Here's our camera layout over here. We flip it around and then I think we can also

if we want to keep it open, we can use that same elastic to do so. So here's what it looks like out of the case

And yeah, I mean, it's like a big phone. So it's a little bit larger than a Pro Max

That's a big boy. At the moment, what you're witnessing here is the anti-reflection. I mean, I don't know how well that plays on camera

but it is a drastic difference in person. And then if I flip the switch

I have my options for max ink mode, which is gonna give you your e light experience with tremendously long battery life but it will limit some of your app functionality There ink paper mode which switches to a black and white setting And then there the color ink display

Smart refresh. It does support 120. I'm just gonna lock it at 120 for now

Can you hear that? Like there's more texture to the experience. And it kind of feels like, I mean, paper

Yeah, I guess they use that comparison because the matte nature of it, but it's obviously smoother than traditional paper

So I'm gonna flick this switch and let's try out ink paper mode. Now this is going to extend our battery life

in this black and white setting. This is gonna be great for reading late at night

you're winding down. So you just do this right here and then you're cruising into sleepy land, right

This is step one towards sleepy land. But that's not maximum. If you really wanna extend your battery life

then we're gonna move into max ink mode. This is like crazy maximum battery life

You're on vacation. You're like, I'm sort of off grid. I'm sort of in dumb phone territory

And yet it still is a lot better than it used to be with the refresh

See what I mean? Like, look at this reading experience right here. It's like an e-reader

It will last forever. And you're off grid anyways. You're trying to disconnect

You're trying to chill out. And it's just a switch on the side of your device in order to do that

But look at that. Then a click of a switch. Boom, you see your color begins to come back and you got your full smartphone back

So you can use it as a way to sort of manage your relationship with your smartphone

And we know that's become incredibly difficult to do, to just attach and detach and detox and all the rest of it

And this phone aims to achieve that through this variety of modes and making it really accessible to move between those modes

Now, if I was to check this box down here, I could have an automatic transition from ink paper mode to color paper mode

Because the max ink mode is probably something that I'm going to launch less frequently

Then I'm not going to need to select it each time. It will just be a fast switch between the two

Click the switch, head back to the full mode, click it back in the other direction

and head back to my e-ink, higher battery, easier on the eyes mode, late at night mode

Now, what happens if I launch into YouTube in this mode? You can actually watch some black and white

old school YouTube. And you know what? It's totally watchable. The refresh is fast enough it's watchable

and way easier on the eyes for obvious reasons. It's so mad

If you're head on, it's vibrant. You kind of lose some of the vibrance as you get to the edges of it or view it off angle

but there just no reflection It gets muted as you get off angle but it doesn give you that harsh reflection back Okay I getting too carried away looking at the device I should actually look at the other items here because they have included a power brick which is nice

Oh, and there's the SIM tool. I don't know what the retail unboxing's gonna look like

It'll be a bit different than this and I'm glad I have a slightly fancier and more Harry Potter version of an unboxing

This is the cable, a C2C cable, and this is probably a stylus of some sort

Whoa, what the? Excuse me? Whoa! What is the deal with this

Oh, it's gotta be for this. This guy's gonna clip in there and just be in the hinge

I think that's gonna permanently live in that case and then you're gonna pop it out. Sweet

And how's that gonna work for me? And this is gonna work great for me

Look at this. And then what if I hit the kickstand? Oh my God, this part comes off

Leave the case on. This is magnetic, this portion. Pull it right off if you don't want the full

wallet experience. Now you still have your pen and they flatten the edge

so I can still grip it comfortably. Or I can click down and remove the pen portion

and use it like this. Because it has this texture display, the pen is so satisfying

The sound of it, listen to this. Now you know how a stylus on a slick or glossy screen

is never really that satisfying because it doesn't mimic the experience of paper and texture

And this is a totally different deal. This has gotten a lot better at dealing with my writing

It's crazy, like I didn't try whatsoever to make it legible. Like you wouldn't have been able to read

what the hell I wrote. Wow, satisfying. And then when you're done with your pen

back in the channel, see you later, flip it closed, look at you, you're a professor

You're a wizard, you're a wizard. Man, you gotta love a custom box, don't you

Oh. TCL Next Paper 60 Ultra Natural Light Display, circular polarization. Cool, so this is just kind of like a little set of demos

Clear from all angles, reduce visual fatigue. If you're not familiar with polarization

you see it on sunglasses, it helps to cut reflections even further

And then also anti-flicker, so there's a kind of invisible reduction in eye fatigue

that you're not even aware of. nanomatrix lithography technology. Place the screen under indoor lighting or near a window

at a different angle and observe the screen Light spots and reflections minimal glare and no reflection So comparatively to some other smartphone where you not reflecting nearly as much light Okay let go ahead and snap some photos here

Some ultra wide of Moe. 0.6, 1X, 2X, 3X, ooh, 6X, what are we doing

You know what? You never looked better, sir. 6X is plenty of reach, that's your periscope effect

And as you can see, we can get all the way out to the ultra wide. I don't know that the target audience for this is going to be incredibly discerning as far as the camera's concerned

It's really these other functions that make all the difference. The display, the reading, the working, the stylus, the satisfaction of writing on this display

But I think really any professional that spends a lot of time working inside of documents, taking notes, and possibly even artists

Am I crazy? Oh boy, this could be fun, I'm not gonna lie. You know, we really should have Willie Do

Ooh, he loves to sketch. Look at this with the sketching on here. Look at this

We can pick some different tools over here. Oh my goodness. I mean, see the fan brush

I got the fan brush going. Straight up Bob Ross over here. So here's an interesting page that shows you

your battery remaining, your available duration. You see we're at 41%, 14 hours and 28 minutes

That's in what they're calling equilibrium mode. Of course, if we switch to power saving mode

we can increase that and performance mode will decrease that. Can I, I wonder what the lowest tech way I can play the game is

Can I play black and white subway surfers? Maybe I can. Wow

And then the next thing I want to know is can I switch it real time mid game

Here we go. Let's try it. Wow. Hell yeah, I can. Back to black and white mode

dangerous moment to do that crashed okay maybe don't do it like mid game

wow if you're dying on battery you can actually play it in this mode which I'm surprised by

this is not just for reading color go oh

almost died pulled it off I'm playing the game within the game now
