Overview

  • The Chongqing facility runs testing end-to-end without human intervention using robotic arms with micron-level positioning, automated chart switching, and AI-controlled environmental simulation.
  • It is the first full implementation of DXOMARK’s Camera V6 protocol intended to improve testing efficiency, consistency, and objectivity.
  • Calibrated 2D charts representing global skin tones drive more accurate color and texture evaluation across a broad range of complexions.
  • The lab can generate region-specific protocols, such as brighter exposure targets for African users and stronger low-light noise reduction for Southeast Asia.
  • Reporting notes that user-perceived photo gains are not yet verified despite the lab’s ambitions and Tecno’s strong footprint in Africa.
