Absolute Color Accuracy – Every iQOO Neo5 phone is factory-tuned with Pixelworks’ patented high-efficiency calibration software and runs Pixelworks color management software on the display processor to ensure excellent color reproduction across standard, wide and custom color gamuts.
Full Time HDR Mode – Use real-time SDR to HDR conversion to bring out more detail and gradation for the vast majority of SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) format game content for a full-time immersive experience.
