Experience a vibrant world of color with the OPPO Find X5 Pro Billion Colour Bionic Display

OPPO

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Media OutReach - 31 March 2022 - The OPPO Find X5 Pro has the most advanced display ever seen in an OPPO phone: The 1 Billion Colour Bionic Display. It uses a 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate and 1000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate panel with multi-point calibration, 8192-level bionic dimming and support for HDR10+, among other highlights. In this generation of the Find series, OPPO has taken a renewed focus not just on display quality, but how the eyes see. Its 6.7-inch ultra-clear AMOLED curved screen is matched with ultra-tough contoured Gorilla Glass Victus protection for flagship-grade drop and scratch resistance. The curve catches the light, a charming visual effect in itself, but also helps OPPO achieve a superb 92.7% screen to body ratio. This maximizes the canvas for users’ favorite apps, games and photos, relative to the size of the phone. The world in color The OPPO Find X5 Pro displays more than 1 billion colors The OPPO Find X5 Pro 1 Billion Colour AMOLED display is capable of rendering 100% of the colors in the DCI P3 gamut, the standard used by Hollywood colourists to perfect movies for big-screen reproduction. Careful calibration is key here, though. The Find X5 Pro has received one of the highest accolades available to phones as a result, a DisplayMate A+ rating. The OPPO Find X5 Pro advanced color engine will also adapt the array of colors used to match the content. While users are editing the holiday photos, rest assured the bright tones of tropical flowers and deep oranges, reds and umbers of an ocean sunset are not simply flattered by the OPPO Find X5 Pro’s rich display. Such memories are made for sharing with others. Accuracy in all places New for this generation of Find phones, the OPPO Find X5 Pro also offers Multi-Brightness Colour Calibration. Most phones, even those with excellent-quality displays, are made to look their best at a specific brightness level. OPPO’s Find X5 Pro is tuned for peak performance at the display power used both indoors and outdoors. Perfect display calibration is like a fragile ornament, broken by changes in multiple factors, but OPPO adjusts to compensate for them all. However, color tone is not always the most important factor in a phone display. Brightness matters more if the users are out at a picnic with friends and want to video call another who couldn’t make it. Or if the user wants to compose a picture of a sun-baked beach while on holiday. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s screen panel provides peak brightness of a searing 1300 nits, enough to cut through the most dazzling sunny days. Such versatility is just as important at the other extreme. In a dark room our pupils constrict, making even a dim phone screen seem ultra-bright, even painful. The OPPO Find X5 Pro can simmer all the way down to 20 nits of brightness, so everyone can read articles or watch videos under the covers in comfort. In addition, OPPO Find X5 Pro’s blue light filter reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen, which can affect the sleeping patterns. It’s a screen made for all occasions. But fidelity plays a part here too. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s Auto Brightness mode can tune the display to 8192-level bionic dimming levels. The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s brightness scaling mirrors the way the eyes and brains function, with 12 scaling modes. These gears of modulation alter the rate at which display power changes depending on its current level. The end result is it appears smooth, consistent and pleasantly gradual to the eyes in all conditions. Life at high frame rates The OPPO Find X5 Pro's adaptive refresh rate automatically adjusts between 1-120Hz The OPPO Find X5 Pro’s 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate further enhances the smoothness provided by the fine-grain brightness control and self-calibrating color enhancement. It lets Android apps display at twice the usual frame rate, making menus glide with such grace the term “scroll” no longer seems to do them justice. The Find X series has had a 120Hz Adaptive Dynamic Refresh Rate since the OPPO Find X2 Pro, but the Find X5 Pro can scale its refresh rate more dramatically than ever before. It can drop as low as 1Hz for static content, refreshing pixels just once a second, use 60Hz for apps that don’t support 120Hz, and the full rate for ultra-smooth scrolling in others. A low refresh rate reduces power consumption, letting users to spend more time enjoying the power of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in the latest games before needing to give the 5000mAh battery a turbo 80W SuperVOOC Flash Charge and 50W AirVOOC Wireless Flash Charge to top-up, or spend longer relaxing with an HDR movie. The OPPO Find X5 Pro supports HDR10+ video as standard, and even if the favorite is not available in HDR, the advanced video engine can upscale it to HDR. The display makes composing photos easier outdoors, is a great way to watch movies on-the-go, and can adapt to the users’ needs in almost every situation. Setting new standards for smartphones, there’s something everyone can appreciate in the OPPO Find X5 Pro screen. Contact Details OPPO Media Contact press@oppo.com

Mirriad Study Reveals In-Content Ad Placement Combined with Traditional TV Campaigns Can Increase Brand Reach by 44 Percent, Driving Business Growth

Mirriad

Mirriad, the leading in-content advertising company powered by Academy Award Winning technology, today announces its latest whitepaper: The Lost Audiences - Regaining Control. The paper highlights in-content advertising as a continually growing avenue for brands and advertisers to engage with audiences in an impactful and non-disruptive way, and explores how companies can recuperate lost GRPs and expand reach via the use of in-content advertising. Consumers’ viewing habits are continuing to shift within the TV advertising space. In the US, linear impressions for the 18-49 age group declined by 49 percent in just five years and are forecasted to decline an additional 22 percent over the next two years. In order to effectively communicate with audiences, brands must embrace in-content placements in addition to more traditional ad formats. In fact, Mirriad found that brand reach can increase up to 44 percent in the 18-49 age group when contextual, in-content ads are present. Stephan Beringer, CEO of Mirriad, said: “Leading into the 2022 Newfronts and Upfronts season, brands and advertisers must prioritize diversification to ensure campaign success and relevancy with their customers, and drive business growth. And this is only the beginning – with the rise of connected TV and streaming services, we can expect further digital growth across new platforms.” Per the whitepapers findings, consumers prefer in-content advertising seven times more than traditional TV spots, and 70 percent of those polled agreed that traditional advertising frequency is excessive. The combination of traditional TV advertising and in-content placement is a solution to not only address the shifts in the market, but also enable brands to combat ad fatigue and apathy by creating non-disruptive experiences for viewers. Beringer continued: “The clear gains in reach and impact that Mirriad can deliver are hugely significant at a time of change in the advertising industry. The power of the in-content format is further underlined by repeated third-party research that shows clear viewer preference for it. Across all measured Mirriad campaigns, we found average consumption rose 16ppt, ad awareness increased by 27ppt, and spend increased by 15ppt. This shows that in-content advertising is not only a very effective way to reach and engage consumers, it also prompts purchases.'' “The television landscape has changed immensely over the last five+ years. New platforms and content formats, the rise of binge watching, and a global pandemic have all had their own effects on how viewers watch and respond to content,” said Chris Ward, SVP of Midwest Ad Sales at Crown Media. “The challenge for us as a network, and for the brands we partner with, has been how to incorporate relevant advertising in a new way that optimizes impact while not disrupting the viewing experience. Mirriad provides a strategic and scalable solution for brands to effectively amplify their TV ad spend.” To view the full whitepaper, please visit https://info.mirriad.com/the-lost-audiences-regaining-control-whitepaper About Mirriad Mirriad's award-winning solution unleashes new revenue for content producers and distributors by creating new advertising inventory in content.
