"On paper" is referencing how something seems without taking into consideration real-world variables or without moving beyond just an idea/theory. If you want to build something, you draw up a blueprint first. So, if you design something that would be incredibly hard or expensive to build, it would be a great idea "on paper," but not in real life because it is impractical to build.
In your scenario, they are saying that the smartphone sounds great--likely due to the best available components and most recent operating system. But, since they say "on paper," which is a qualifier, they are communicating that they either haven't had a chance to use the phone themselves or that they have had a chance to use it and it isn't as great in actual use as the "specs" (the information they had about the phone) made it seem.

It looks good based on what they see, but it is not a guarantee, as it is "on paper" and hasn't yet been tested or properly viewed.
