TCL Launches P80 Ultra with OLED and Nxtpaper Display Technology
TCL has unveiled the P80 Ultra, its first phone to combine an OLED display with its proprietary Nxtpaper technology that mimics e-reader functionality. The device features a 6.83-inch OLED panel offering high-end specs such as 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 3,200 nits. In Max Ink Mode, the phone switches to a monochromatic display for extended battery life—up to seven days with active use or up to 26 days on standby. The P80 Ultra is part of TCL’s Nxtpaper lineup and includes features like an anti-glare coating that enhances OLED visibility. It also offers Android functionality in most modes, but switches to a simplified UI for reading when activated via the dedicated Nxtpaper Key. The phone will be available in Europe starting today with launches planned later this year in Latin America and the U.S. The P80 Ultra is joined by two lower-tier models: the Pro variant at €429 ($500) and a base model priced from €349 ($400). The Ultra starts at €549 (~$635), with four years of OS updates. TCL aims to position these devices as premium mid-range phones, emphasizing battery life and display innovation.
