Smartphone's Differentiated Frame Rate
Optimization and Diverse Gaming Display Enhancement Modes Deliver
Flagship Visual Experience at Affordable Price
SHANGHAI, April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW),
a leading provider of visual processing solutions, today announced
that vivo's newly launched iQOO Z9 Turbo smartphone incorporates
Pixelworks' X5 Turbo visual processor, providing end users with an
immersive high-frame-rate gaming experience. The iQOO Z9 Turbo
features stunning visual quality through a combination of
differentiated frame rate optimization solutions and a diverse set
of built-in visual enhancement modes. The smartphone also
integrates multiple popular video Apps with silky-smooth picture
quality, which greatly enhances the immersive feel for consumers
across different visual scenarios.
Powered by the Snapdragon® 8s Gen 3 mobile platform from
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., the iQOO Z9 Turbo features a massive
6,000mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging. The smartphone
also sports a 6.78-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a refresh rate of up to
144Hz. In addition, with the adoption of the Pixelworks X5 Turbo
visual processor and featuring distributed rendering architecture,
the smartphone offloads display rendering from the GPU to deliver
longer play time on high-frame-rate games, better picture quality
for lower frame rate games and enriched immersive video.
In terms of gaming, the Pixelworks powered iQOO Z9 Turbo
provides users with two unique frame rate optimization solutions,
one focused on power efficiency, and another designed to deliver
maximum frame rate, which are compatible with 23 popular mobile
games. For games with native high frame rate, Pixelworks' solution
improves the rendering efficiency of the smartphone GPU to extend
the play time of gaming while displaying optimal picture quality.
For games with lower native frame rate, Pixelworks' solution boosts
the frame rate to increase the smoothness and stability of dynamic
motions, providing consumers with extraordinary picture quality
while maintaining lower overall power consumption.
Also ensuring the visual enjoyment for mobile gaming, the
Pixelworks powered iQOO Z9 Turbo provides consumers with multiple
gaming filter modes for display enhancement. These include the
general filter modes that are commonly used across various mobile
games, such as customized, low light enhancement, snow blindness
prevention, old retro, vivid, soft and bright modes. Users can
select the filter mode according to their visual preferences and to
experience increased immersion. In addition, the iQOO Z9 Turbo
features dedicated tuning modes for Honor of King, Game
for Peace, League of Legends and Genshin
Impact, each of which incorporate specific
parameters to amplify the gaming visuals and more closely mirror
the game creator's original artistic intent.
In terms of video experience, the iQOO Z9 Turbo effectively
mitigates video judder resulting from frame rate mismatch between
the content and the display by leveraging Pixelworks'
content-optimized motion processing ensuring that native frame rate
video content always has excellent and stable visual quality on the
smartphone's high refresh rate display. Currently, this function
supports video frame interpolation from 24fps/25fps/30fps up to 60
fps and has been adapted to many mainstream video Apps in
China, including iQIYI,
Tencent Video, Youku Bilibili.
"As one of iQOO's smartphone series, the iQOO Z9 Turbo is
committed to providing users with powerful product performance and
fascinating gaming experience," stated Yaojing Yang, Director of
Gaming Experience Planning Center, iQOO. "I am glad that with the
support of Pixelworks, we have found an elegant and comprehensive
solution. By incorporating Pixelworks' visual processor with
distributed rendering architecture, we have allocated rendering
computing power more efficiently to deliver a smoother gaming
experience and more immersive video quality."
"Congratulations on the release of the iQOO Z9 Turbo!" said Ting
Xiong, President of Pixelworks China. "This new smartphone delivers
a flagship-level user experience at an affordable price, while also
reflecting iQOO's strong reputation for high product quality and
premium user experience. As a result of the close coordination and
tuning efforts of our combined teams, the iQOO Z9 Turbo
incorporates differentiated frame rate optimization solutions as
well as diverse display enhancement filter modes, making the
smartphone ideal for high performance mobile gaming. We look
forward to continuing future cooperation and opportunities to
enrich the mobile visual experience for more iQOO users."
