Pixelworks (NASDAQ:PXLW), a visual processing company announced that it has launched its ROG Phone II, enabling gamers a higher level of visual performance through incorporating its color calibration software. Earlier in 2019, Pixelworks partnered with Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) to deliver visual display technology for Qualcomm’s mobile devices.

“As the first partner to launch a smartphone with our new Soft Iris solution, ROG is taking visual quality to the next level for gamers with our industry-leading color accuracy and HDR tone mapping,” said Anthony Gioeli, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Video Devices, Pixelworks. “Gaming enthusiasts are demanding better displays and more realistic visual detail on their mobile phones.
