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.
