Third-party reviews

What customers like about TCL 60 NXTPAPER 4G (8GB + 512GB)

  • The NXTPAPER display is excellent for eye comfort, with a glare-free, matte finish that is highly readable even in direct sunlight.
  • Multiple display modes (Color Paper, Ink Paper, Max Ink) offer versatile reading and viewing experiences, effectively acting as a good e-reader alternative.
  • Good battery life, with general usage lasting a full day or more, and Max Ink mode extending usage to several days.
  • The 32MP front-facing camera is surprisingly good and a significant upgrade over previous models, providing clear selfies and video calls.
  • Solid build quality that feels premium in hand, especially for a budget-friendly device.
  • Includes features often missing in modern phones like a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage via microSD.
  • Offers an excellent 120Hz refresh rate display that makes scrolling and everyday use feel smooth (on the 60 XE 5G variant).
  • Runs on a relatively recent Android 15 with minimal bloatware (on the XE variant).

What customers don't like about TCL 60 NXTPAPER 4G (8GB + 512GB)

  • Performance is considered middling, with the processor (MediaTek Helio G92 for the 4G model) struggling with graphically intensive games or demanding apps.
  • Camera performance, while functional, is inconsistent; photos can be blurry in low light and lack fine detail upon zooming.
  • Outdoor screen visibility is not great on very bright days, as the display is not the brightest when compared to OLED panels.
  • Audio quality is a weak point; the speakers are quiet and lack bass, making media consumption difficult in noisy environments.
  • The phone gets uncomfortably warm during extended gaming sessions.
  • TCL only promises one major software upgrade and two years of security updates, which is less than competitors like Samsung.
  • The device can be physically bulky and unwieldy in the hand due to its size and large camera bump.
  • Some users reported software bugs, such as the auto-brightness randomly turning on and apps like Spotify or Facebook having performance issues.

Verdict

The TCL 60 NXTPAPER 4G (8GB + 512GB variant) is an Android 15 smartphone notable for its 6.8-inch FHD+ NXTPAPER display, which offers a paper-like, glare-free, and eye-friendly viewing experience with multiple display modes and a 90Hz refresh rate. It is powered by a MediaTek Helio G92 octa-core chipset, features a versatile 108MP main camera system and a substantial 5200mAh battery with 33W fast charging. Key pros include the unique eye-care screen technology, large amount of included RAM (8GB physical + up to 10GB expansion) and 512GB of expandable storage, the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and NFC support. Cons generally involve performance that can be considered lackluster compared to some competitors, mediocre speaker volume, and a potentially limited software update policy (often one major Android OS upgrade).
