TCL's new P80 Ultra combines an E Ink-style monochromatic display with flagship OLED capabilities. The phone marks the first time the Nxtpaper line supports both technologies.

The P80 Ultra switches between a low-power, paper-like display mode and a full-color OLED screen. Users can activate the monochromatic mode for reading and distraction-free tasks, then shift to standard OLED performance for multimedia and everyday use. Previous Nxtpaper phones relied exclusively on LCD screens. The addition of OLED technology expands the device's functionality without sacrificing the battery efficiency and eye-comfort benefits of the paper-like display. TCL first demonstrated the OLED Nxtpaper concept at Mobile World Congress in March. The P80 Ultra represents the technology's first commercial implementation, giving users flexibility between two distinct display experiences on a single device.
