The company claims that the latest NXTPAPER smartphones offer industry-leading eye comfort and are hardware-certified by TÜV for low harmful blue light.

Users can enjoy daily binge-watching while having a more comfortable, full-color paper-like viewing experience.

Additionally, an integrated sensor automatically adjusts display brightness and color temperature based on time and environment to provide suitable visual experiences and soft light at night, further elevating overall eye comfort.

The smartphone display, with its reflection-free TÜV certification, offers anti-glare functionality achieved by producing a paper-like matte effect texture.

Paired with a fingerprint smudge-resistant feature, it makes reading whilst simultaneously enjoying a sunny day outdoors more comfortable than ever before.

The full-color electronic display comes with specially-designed NXTPAPER UI, providing users the flexibility to choose between full-color manga or a black-and-white experience to suit their individual preferences.
