Earlier today, iQOO announced a new color
variant for the Neo 3, which launches today. This new color option also arrives
alongside a new video insert frame technology that will also improve that
smartphone’s video playback quality.
The iQOO Neo 3 is the company’s flagship
handset for 2020. It features top notch specs like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865
SoC, UFS 3.1 storage, and a 144Hz refresh rate as well. The device was launched
earlier this year and its new color variant has been launched today, namely the
Polar Day White edition. This version is inspired by the summer solstice or the
longest day of the year, with a bright and vibrant white color being offered.
Furthermore, the company is also rolling
out a new feature for the video playback function of the iQOO Neo 3. The video
insert frame technology is essentially a frame rate enhancing tool. As the name
suggests, it is capable of adding frames in the video to artificially boost the
captured video’s actual frame rate. Generally, videos and movies are offered at
30fps, but with the video frame insert technology, these can be bumped up to
60fps.
The iQOO Neo 3 achieves this by
calculating motion vectors and vectors of the two frames before and after the
pixel point. Then through its graphics algorithm, it renders two frames between
in between the video’s frame to make up for the missing pictures, essentially
boosting its frame rate. Thus, videos stored locally in the device can have
frames inserted into them, offering a better visual experience.
