The recently released iQOO Neo5,in performance、Screen、fast charge、While taking photos, it is fully upgraded,The price is also 500 yuan lower than the previous generation with the same memory specifications.,Many netizens said it smells really good。
In addition to Snapdragon 870,The most eye-catching thing should be its first “Game Frame Filling” function.。This function is claimed to be processed by an "independent display chip",Allows players to experience "Peace Elite" at 120 frames、《Genshin Impact》、Games such as "Honkai Impact 3",This is something that almost no other mobile phone in the same price range can do.,Very curious to try。
Learned through inquiry,The “independent graphics chip” installed on iQOO Neo5 is the Pixelworks X5 Pro processor。Official introduction,iQOO and Pixelworks have cooperated closely,iQOO Neo5 powered by Pixelworks X5 Pro processor implements many differentiated functions:

MotionEngine Technology–Patented motion estimation and motion compensation(MEMC)Features optimized game content,Can render 120 frames per second screen display;thereby eliminating unintentional judder and blur,rendered to maintain expected motion。
Absolute color accuracy– Each iQOO Neo5 phone has been factory debugged through Pixelworks’ patented and efficient calibration software,and running Pixelworks color management software on the display processor,to ensure that the standard、Excellent color reproduction over a wide and customizable color gamut。
Full-time HDR mode– Use real-time SDR to HDR conversion,Can be used for most SDRs(Standard dynamic range)formatted game content showing more detail and color gradation,and bring a full-time immersive experience。

How is the specific performance,Let’s see the results in the following test。environment:Room temperature 25°C,Backlit windless,Turn on Monster performance mode on your phone,Brightness fixed at 50%,Turn off Game Box frame rate priority function (smart resolution)。

"Breakdown 3"(The test selects levels 19-14 with higher load,full effect,Turn on 90fps mode for combat scenes,Then test the native 90 frames separately、Fill frame 90 frames、120 frames of supplementary frame,These four modes of frame stabilization。)
In native 90 frames quality,iQOO Neo5 average frame rate 66.7 frames,Stuttering below 60 frames rarely occurs,But I have to say that Honkai Impact 3 has really strict performance requirements.,It is almost impossible to run at 90 frames with traditional performance.;
Turn on 90-frame frame-filling mode,The game will run at native 45 frames,The MEMC chip provides 90 frames of images through frame interpolation.,The smoothness of the picture is even better than when the native 90 frames is turned on but the performance is not satisfied.。
Turn on 120 frames frame filling mode,The game will run at native 60 frames,Then make up to 120 frames through the MEMC chip,At this time, the picture is not only smoother and smoother,,And there is basically no delay in operation.,This is the first time for me to experience Honkai Impact 3 at 120 frames.,The effect is surprising。
The frame stabilization function is based on the native 30 frames,Then output 60 frames to the screen,In high frame rate gaming scenarios,Not only can the high frame rate of the game be maintained longer、more stable,It can also significantly reduce game power consumption。

The advantages of iQOO Neo5’s frame rate improvement function can be seen from the following set of comparison animations.。in slow motion,When running up the stairs,The native 90 frames picture will have more obvious stuttering and jittering.。After turning on the function of increasing the frame rate to 120 frames,The scene going up the stairs should be smoother、smoother,Reduces the feeling of lag。Reflected in daily games,The game screen is smoother。

Let’s look at power consumption and temperature,After doubling the game frame rate,Relative to game native frame rate,In most scenarios, power consumption will also be reduced.。E.g,When playing "Honkai Impact 3" at 90 frames,The average temperature of mobile phones is reduced by 11%,25% lower power consumption,to get longer、More stable game high frame rate experience,The entire game can almost always maintain around 90 frames.。

《Genshin Impact》Test to turn on the preset highest quality and 60 frame mode,Select the night scene of Liyue Port and run continuously。)
As can be seen from the test results below,In native 60fps mode,iQOO Neo5 average frame rate 50.3 frames,It’s not particularly laggy, but it’s not very smooth either.,Unable to take advantage of high refresh rates;
After turning on 120 frames of frame filling,At the beginning, the screen instantly became silky smooth,It’s hard to believe that I’m playing Genshin Impact with extreme graphics on my mobile phone.。Turn on 90 frames of frame filling,At this time, the native frame rate will also be limited to 45 frames.,The situation of overheating and frequency reduction during the game no longer occurs.。

It can also be seen that this MEMC chip improves fluency while,Doesn’t bring much extra power consumption,On the contrary, it can take some pressure off the processor.。The highest temperature of the fuselage in the three tests was around 46°,Excellent heat control among its peers。

"Peace Elite"
Although "Peace Elite" does not have high requirements for mobile phone performance,However, because the game official believes that the 120-frame mode will affect the shooting speed, it is limited to a maximum of 90 frames.,But iQOO Neo5 can break through this limitation through frame-filling technology.。Turn on HDR+60 frame quality,And 120 frames frame filling mode,No matter how quickly you turn around,,Still driving scene,The screen is extremely smooth,Achieving near-perfect highest image quality + 120 frames experience。

While getting a full 120-frame picture experience,,The power consumption of the whole machine is still not high,Only about 4.2W,Temperature 40.7°C。

"Call of Duty Mobile"
Most models of this game only support up to 60 frames.,Turn on the highest quality mission battlefield mode,Stable operation at 60 frames throughout the process,Turning on frame augmentation can also bring the unique 120-frame smooth experience.,The average power consumption of the whole game is about 5W,Body temperature 41.3°C。

Pass the above test,The following conclusions can be drawn about the game frame-filling function of this MEMC chip.:
- "Increase frame rate" when the game's native frame rate is sufficient and stable,Able to break through the frame rate limit of the game itself,Bringing a silkier high frame rate experience;
- "Stable frame rate" ensures stable and high frame rates while ensuring the picture,It can also significantly reduce power consumption,Greatly reduce game heating and power consumption problems;

In general,The independent graphics chip of pixelworks X5 Pro indeed allows iQOO Neo5 to obtain the most differentiated gaming experience in its class.,Although the types of games it currently adapts to are relatively limited,But it has already made many games that have not been able to achieve high frame rates have an incredibly smooth look and feel,without significantly increasing power consumption。
With the current slowdown in processor process progress,,Improvements in traditional performance are inevitably accompanied by higher power consumption,Game quality、It may be time to need a third party to balance between frame rate and power consumption.,Therefore, the author is personally quite optimistic about the future performance of this technology in the era of high-level brushing among all people.。
