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.

The media could not be loaded.
I was sceptical but really , this is an amazing mobile and for this price , its a steal.
Very good spec for the price.
Phone does not slow down, its very smooth and fast. It has specification and features that other phones are missing, like SD card slot, High internal memmory capacity (512GB !), 3.5mm headphones jack, NFC.
You can add 512GB SD card for 40£ and you have 1TB of total memory. You can even extend ROM to 16GB using some of RAM.
You do not compromise on this mobile.
The best part is the screen.
Why no other companies do not do this, is beyond me. They all chasing high frequency, brightness and resolution while most can’t be even read in daylight.
This screen is matt, there is no glare, no fingermarks, Is smooth as butter even in its standard settings. When switched to nextpaper mode..Oh boy , isn’t it pretty and fantastic for eyes, All Black and White mode or paperlike colours mode where everything is in pleasing pastelle colours. And it works so well in reading or day to day usage.
Build quality is perfect. The negative points would be:
camera that is average . Pictures are pretty and good enough but resolution is not so good when enlarged. , even 108Mpixels do not change much. But its very good for average user. Its not photographer phone like PIxel or Iphone.
Limited accesorie, I literally found 4 cases for it and they pretty low quality.
No screen protector. You can buy it but it will not stick to the screen properly due to it’s matt finnish.

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.

Terrible. Bought it for use in Singapore but the phone is unable to make it receive any phone calls. My SIM card works on my other phone but just not this TCL 50 PRO. Extremely disappointed.

I needed a new phone and ereader and was really interested in the e-ink feature. The phone does all I need it to shipping with android 14 and not too many additional apps. It really is great being able to switch to the e ink mode for reading and the mat display is easy to look at.
Only criticism is it doesn’t take as good pictures as my old realme phone so perhaps the cameras could be improved on the next version.
I would still happily recommend the phone to anyone interested in the signature feature.

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.

Excellent phone, love the 3 modes , lovely Matt screen , feels good to touch , not like glossy oled screens ,512 GB storage and 16gb ram is exceptional. Cameras are good. The stylus is not included,one can be purchased on other online stores. Phone is light .
I want TCL to get andoid 15 on this phone asap considering android 16 is coming out soon , this android 16 would be better than android 15.
This phone has 2 SIM slots , 1 microSD card slot ( 2 TB max card size ) and esim option.
Also I purchased the phone for £196 BRAND NEW here on Amazon UK ( TCL had some vouchers special offer last month . )
