This is the 5G variant of TCL’s 40 NxtPaper. This model is powered by the Dimensity 6020 SoC, and should not be confused with the 4G model that has Helio G88 CPU. The device comes in a more compact 6.6-inches screen, and it has a dewdrop notch on the head.

Coming to the camera department, the TCL 40 NxtPaper 5G has three camera sensors on the rear. These are a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 2-megapixel macro, and a third 2-megapixel depth sensor. The phone has an 8-megapixel selfie on the front, has a 5000mAh battery on the inside, and is powered by Google Android 13 out of the box.
