SHANGHAI, Dec. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of innovative video and display processing solutions, today announced that the latest HONOR 80 GT smartphone incorporates Pixelworks' advanced X5 Plus visual processor. The continuing cooperation between Pixelworks and HONOR aims to provide users with an outstanding and comfortable video and gaming experience by leveraging multiple dimensions of visual quality, including color accuracy, clarity, frame rate and power consumption.
The newly released HONOR 80 GT smartphone is built on the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 mobile platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and powered by Pixelworks' advanced visual processing technology, which together contribute to powerful gaming performance and superior display capability.
Powered by Pixelworks X5 Plus visual processor, the HONOR 80 GT smartphone brings users multiple upgraded visual display attributes with highlights that include:
MotionEngine® Technology—Pixelworks MotionEngine® (MEMC) technology supports the optimization of visual quality for both video and game content. Coupling with the high refresh rate screen, the technology uses efficient interpolation algorithm to boost low frame rate game content to higher frame rates of up to 90fps or 120fps, which ensures ultra-smooth motion quality while preserving the original artistic intent of game creators. Compared to running native high frame rate games, Pixelworks-enabled distributed processing offloads the GPU workload by reducing rendering pressure and lowers overall system power consumption when MEMC mode is on, which in turn prevents overheating of mobile devices. This functionality has been adapted to numerous mainstream mobile games. For video content, content-optimized motion processing effectively mitigates video judder resulting from frame rate mismatch between content and the display, thus ensuring that native frame rate video content has excellent and stable visual quality on high refresh rate smartphone displays. The benefits of Pixelworks' MEMC technology can be utilized to boost content frame rate of video Apps of up to 60fps.
Always-HDR mode – Pixelworks uses real-time SDR-to-HDR conversion to expose more colors and details for the vast majority of gaming and video content, which is often in native SDR (standard dynamic range) format, to enable an always-immersive experience.
Absolute Color Accuracy – Every HONOR 80 GT smartphone is factory-tuned with patented display calibration technology by Pixelworks and supports color gamut of
True Flesh Tones – A calibrated flesh tone solution ensures accuracy in all display modes to convey true-to-life skin tones for all content involving real people, whether in photos, videos captured on the phone or popular movies streamed from an App.
Smooth Brightness Control – This feature provides finely tuned and automatic luminance control that enables ultra-smooth display brightness transitions in response to changes in ambient light.
