Powered by Pixelworks visual processing technologies, the HONOR Magic5 Pro smartphone brings users multiple visual benefits including:

MotionEngine Technology— Pixelworks MotionEngine (MEMC) technology supports the optimization of visual quality for both video and game content. For video content, the content-optimized motion processing can boost content frame rate in video Apps up to 60fps, which effectively mitigates video judder resulting from frame rate mismatch between content and the display, thus providing increased visual smoothness and stability for native frame rate games. For game content, the technology uses efficient interpolation algorithm to boost low frame rate game content to higher frame rates of up to 90fps or 120fps, which ensures ultra-smooth motion quality while preserving the original artistic intent of game creators on a high refresh rate screen. Compared to running native high frame rate games, Pixelworks-enabled distributed processing offloads the GPU workload by reducing rendering pressure and lowers overall system power consumption when MEMC mode is on, which in turn prevents overheating of mobile devices. This functionality has been adapted to multiple popular video Apps and mobile games.

Always-HDR mode – Pixelworks uses real-time SDR-to-HDR conversion to expose more colors and details for the vast majority of gaming and video content, which is often in native SDR (standard dynamic range) format, to enable a cinematic visual experience.

Professional Color Calibration – Every Honor Magic5 Pro smartphone is factory-tuned with patented display calibration technology by Pixelworks and supports color gamut of 100% P3 and sRGB, giving rise to sharper, more true-to-life colors as seen in most real-world visual scenarios.

Smooth Brightness Control – This feature provides finely tuned and automatic luminance control that enables ultra-smooth display brightness transitions in response to changes in ambient light.

True Flesh Tones – A calibrated flesh tone solution ensures accuracy in all display modes to convey true-to-life skin tones for all content involving real people, whether in photos, video captured on the phone or popular movies.
