Pixelworks reveals role in top-rated smartphones

Tech company Pixelworks has revealed that its visual processing solutions were incorporated in a number of flagship smartphones released this year, including phones from HONOR and OnePlus.

The US company said its tech was included in the HONOR Magic5 Pro and HONOR Magic5 Ultimate smartphones in the HONOR Magic5 series, as well as the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Ace 2 smartphones.

Pixelworks said it contributed color calibration technology to the HONOR Magic5 Pro, which helped the device to achieve a number one ranking in benchmarking company DXOMARK’s test for smartphone display performance.

Pixelworks said that as a result of its color calibration technology the smartphone produces an average Delta E value (an indicator of color accuracy) of almost 0.27, “ensuring there are no perceptible deviations from perfect color accuracy.”

Meanwhile, Pixelworks said it “engaged in a deep technical cooperation” with OnePlus to improve display optimization on OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Ace 2.

In a statement Pixelworks said: “As a result of the joint efforts between the two companies, the technical advantages of the Pixelworks X7 visual processor have been fully realized and succeeded in bringing a new standard of visual excellence to OnePlus featuring finely tuned picture quality and silky smooth 120fps gaming experience.”

Ting Xiong, president of Pixelworks China, said: "Pixelworks boasts a diverse and flexible portfolio of visual technologies that can be applied to both flagship and gaming smartphones.

"Our goal is simple – to provide smartphone manufacturers with professional display solutions that perfectly meet the needs of their target markets, and bringing end consumers immersive, realistic, comfortable and stable visual experiences.”
