Enhanced Rendering and Display Capabilities
Bring Immersive and Authentic Gaming Experiences
SHANGHAI, Dec. 5, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a
leading provider of visual processing solutions, today announced
the newly launched OnePlus 12 smartphone incorporates the
Pixelworks X7 visual processor. This marks the fourth
collaboration between OnePlus and Pixelworks in 2023, starting from
the all-around flagship OnePlus 11 at the beginning of the year and
extending to the performance powerhouse OnePlus Ace 2 and its
advanced version, the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro. The two companies have not
only cooperated on the hardware level to improve the rendering
performance of smartphones, but also worked closely with game
development teams to optimize the picture quality of game content
and scenes, thus providing end-users a more smooth, stable and
immersive gaming experience.
The OnePlus 12 smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3
mobile platform featuring generative AI from Qualcomm Technologies,
Inc. The smartphone incorporates a 2K
display panel from BOE with DisplayMate's A+ certification and
supports a 120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate. Additionally, the main
camera of the OnePlus 12 is the world's first to feature the latest
LYTIA image sensor, enabling the smartphone to capture clear images
across various scenarios. In terms of gaming experience, the
seamless integration of the Pixelworks X7 visual processor and
OnePlus' Super Frame Rate and Picture Quality Engine further
enhance the rendering and display capabilities of the device. By
incorporating Pixelworks' ultra-low latency MotionEngine®
technology, low-power super resolution and multi-brightness color
calibration technologies, the OnePlus 12 smartphone offers users a
smoother and more stable 120Hz ultra-clear visual experience.
High color accuracy display delivers immersive visual quality
supported by both 120fps frame rate and 2K super resolution.
Leveraging a distributed computing architecture, the
MotionEngine® technology offloads intensive image rendering from
the GPU to enable silky-smooth 120fps gaming experiences on the
smartphone. This approach effectively manages smartphone power
consumption and prevents the device from overheating, which
provides users with longer play time and lower device temperatures.
In addition, the low-power super resolution technology brings
smooth 120fps gaming experiences to consumers by scaling picture
quality to 2K resolution, generating
clearer texture and richer details, and taking full advantage of
the 2K resolution screen. Both 120fps
frame rate and 2K super resolution
can be enabled simultaneously, allowing users to unleash the power
of the Super Frame Rate and Picture Quality Engine for a lifelike
visual experience in popular mobile games, including Glory of
the King, Game for Peace, Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail and League of Legends.
Moreover, to ensure the authentic representation of colors in
different scenarios, the OnePlus 12 smartphone adopts Pixelworks'
multi-brightness color calibration solution. This effectively
guarantees that the colors displayed on the screen under various
color modes mirror what the human eye sees in the real world.
Pixelworks' color calibration technology compensates for the color
saturation in different color modes and lighting conditions. By
leveraging the 3D LUT method, the technology conducts advanced
color calibration to comprehensibly and precisely manage numerous
display attributes, including hue, saturation and brightness,
making the color displayed on the screen look as vivid as what the
human eye detects in the '3D space'.
Empowered with Pixelworks' end-to-end IRX image rendering
accelerating solution brings a unique creator's perspective to the
gaming experience.
In order to comprehensively enhance the rendering performance of
smartphones while preserving the original artistic intent of game
creators, Pixelworks has introduced the end-to-end IRX image
rendering accelerating solution. This solution is built on
Pixelworks' refined professional display technologies and extensive
expertise in picture quality optimization, seamlessly tailored to
the rendering capabilities of mobile devices and the distinct
characteristics of gaming scenes. By leveraging the Rendering
Accelerator SDK, game developers are able to deeply integrate the
game engine with algorithmic functions in the visual processor,
further improving the picture quality of games and optimizing the
gaming experience based on the unique characteristics of each game
scene. As Pixelworks' important gaming ecosystem partner, OnePlus
provides robust hardware support for the implementation of the
end-to-end rendering accelerating solution. Furthermore, the
OnePlus 12 is the first certified smartphone to feature an
end-to-end IRX gaming experience. Currently, users can immerse
themselves in captivating gaming experiences on popular titles,
such as Crystal of Atlan and One Piece Fighting Path.
This is made possible through the collaborative optimization
efforts of Pixelworks, game developers, and OnePlus. The
integration and verification for more popular mobile games are also
underway.
"We are truly honored to continue our collaboration with
Pixelworks on the OnePlus 12 smartphone." said Louis Li, President of OnePlus China. "As the
flagship celebrating OnePlus' 10-year anniversary, the OnePlus 12
smartphone strives for excellence in every core aspect. From
hardware components spanning chipset to screen, to the all-round
optimization of imaging and gaming experiences, the OnePlus 12
exemplifies a commitment to perfection in every detail. In terms of
gaming experiences, we have continued to cooperate with Pixelworks
to provide users with diverse picture quality modes. Additionally,
we have worked closely with gaming ecosystem partners to implement
targeted picture quality optimizations for specific games. While
this involves extensive cross-team testing, tuning, and
communication efforts, we believe that a strategic focus on both
content and performance is crucial for a holistic improvement in
user experience. We hope that the OnePlus 12 smartphone can serve
as a trailblazer to explore more possibilities in the realm of
mobile gaming experiences in collaboration with Pixelworks."
"Congratulations on the launch of the OnePlus 12 smartphone!"
said Ting Xiong, President of Pixelworks China. "Over the years of
collaboration with OnePlus, Pixelworks has witnessed the birth of
OnePlus' many best-selling products. We are also honored to have
grown together with OnePlus. From the deep technical integration of
OnePlus' Super Frame Rate and Picture Quality Engine to the joint
exploration and implementation of the end-to-end IRX rendering
accelerating solution with gaming ecosystem partners, OnePlus and
Pixelworks have consistently prioritized fundamental aspects of the
end user experience in our efforts to improve mobile gaming
performance. The two companies are devoted to enhancing hardware
rendering capabilities and elevating the visual quality of games,
making stable, high-frame-rate and high-quality graphics the
standard for mobile gaming experiences. The debut of the OnePlus 12
smartphone is a special event to celebrate the brand's
10th anniversary. We believe that the smartphone, with
its innovative technologies and impressive specifications, will
mark the beginning of another brilliant chapter in OnePlus' product
portfolio."
