OPPO Redefines Flagship Visual Experience with Fifth Generation Pixelworks® Processor in New Find X2 and Find X2 Pro Smartph...
March 06 2020 - 4:50AM
Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of
innovative video and display processing solutions, and OPPO, a
leading global smart device brand, today announced that the new
OPPO Find X2 series smartphones incorporate the fifth generation
Pixelworks visual processor. As the inaugural devices launched
under the recently announced collaboration agreement between the
two companies, the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro push visual performance
boundaries in smartphones with the integration of the first 120 Hz
variable refresh rate display and latest Pixelworks processor and
software, featuring unique, content-optimized motion processing and
an always-HDR video experience.
In addition to visual enhancements from the Pixelworks
processor, every Find X2 series display is factory tuned with
Pixelworks high-efficiency color calibration software. Pixelworks
collaborated closely with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to implement
its calibration software on the display processing unit of the
flagship Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 865 Mobile Platform. When the phones
are in use, the advanced features of the Pixelworks processor
enhance the content being viewed while the Pixelworks calibration
software runs concurrently to deliver superior color reproduction
across use cases. This combination of hardware and software based
technologies from Pixelworks optimizes power, while delivering
stunning visual quality and an industry-leading color accuracy of
0.4 average JNCD for Find X2 series users.
In recent years, smartphone display technology – notably refresh
rates and dynamic range – has been advancing faster than content
formats, as most video is still streamed in Standard Dynamic Range
(SDR) at 24-25 frames per second (fps). The new Find X2 series
phones rely on the Pixelworks processor to dynamically scale
content to higher frame rate and dynamic range to fully leverage
their magnificent 120 Hz HDR displays, producing immersive color
depth and crystal clarity while preserving natural motion
appearance. The brilliant 120 Hz 6.7” AMOLED screens support 1440 x
3168 WQHD+ resolution and are complemented by the unique technology
advantages of the Pixelworks processor:
- MotionEngine® Technology – Content-optimized
motion processing that mitigates video judder due to frame rate
mismatch between content and display. Preserves visual quality and
intended motion appearance for movies, sports and short video on
high refresh rate smartphone displays.
- Always HDR Experience – Dynamically upconverts
standard SDR video, whether from the camera or streamed from the
cloud, to HDR quality for breathtaking color depth and a cinematic
experience that is visibly superior to the original SDR
content.
- Absolute Color Accuracy – With high-efficiency
display calibration from Pixelworks, consumers can re-live moments
captured with photos and videos in vivid, real-world color,
correctly match colors for worry-free online shopping and enjoy
realistic gaming experiences with immersive, life-like colors.
“The smartphone display is the consumer’s window to the world.
We made display quality the major differentiator for our Find X2
series smartphones by combining our innovative design capabilities
with the industry-leading visual processing technologies of
Pixelworks,” said Shi Fulai, Product Manager, OPPO. “We are excited
to collaborate with Pixelworks in the creation of immersive video
and gaming experiences that will exceed the most demanding consumer
expectations in the 5G era. The Find X2 and Find X2 Pro set a new
standard for visual quality that we intend to build on in future
products.”
“We were excited to be teaming with an industry leader like OPPO
to take the smartphone visual experience to the next level. With
the industry’s most advanced display and dedicated Pixelworks
processor, the Find X2 series puts cinematic big screen technology
in hands of consumers with unparalleled display quality for video,
gaming, social media and more,” said Peter Carson, Vice President
of Global Marketing, Pixelworks. “We look forward to our continued
cooperation with OPPO as we advance these technologies and help
them bring new and compelling experiences to more consumers in the
near future.”
