What makes the Nxtpaper display special?

It is a multi-layered matte display that reduces blue light at the hardware level and eliminates reflections, offering a paper-like experience that does not tire the eyes.

Can games be played on this screen?

Yes, the screen has a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes motion smooth, but the matte surface may make colours appear slightly softer than on glossy screens.

Does the screen require a separate protective film?

It is not recommended. The Nxtpaper screen has its own special coating. A regular screen protector will ruin the matte surface effect and its eye-friendly properties.

How does the reading mode work?

The device has a dedicated button or software switch that turns the screen completely black and white (or sepia-toned), imitating an e-reader.

Is the 5010 mAh battery enough for a full day?

Yes, thanks to the power-efficient processor and display technology, the battery easily lasts 1.5 to 2 days with normal usage.

Does the device support a memory card?

Yes, the device has a microSDXC slot, which allows storage expansion up to 1TB.
