TECNO advances its Universal Tone technology with a scientifically upgraded multi-skin tone color card now featuring 372 color patches and continuously expanding to include more skin tone types
HONG KONG, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TECNO, an innovative, AI-driven technology brand, is advancing the frontiers of multi-skin tone imaging technology with significant updates to its Universal Tone technology.
The update includes an upgraded multi-skin tone color card with 372 patches and enhancements to the Multi-Skin Tone Color Restoration Engine, achieving significant improvement in skin tone accuracy. These upgrades ensure more accurate and inclusive skin tone representation in mobile imaging across diverse ethnicities and scenarios.
This advancement will debut in the upcoming TECNO CAMON 40 Series, set to be unveiled at MWC Barcelona 2025 in March. Attendees at the annual trade show are invited to experience the benefits of this upgraded imaging technology firsthand at TECNO’s booth, located at Hall 6 Stand 6B11, Fira Gran Via.
TECNO has significantly upgraded its Universal Tone multi-skin tone color card to include 372 color patches to create an even more inclusive and comprehensive database that reflects a huge spectrum of global skin tones, including for users in regions such as Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. This upgraded color card not only increases the number of patches but also enhances the scientific and practical application of skin tone measurement and quantification, serving as a critical calibration tool for Universal Tone algorithms. By providing a robust and diverse dataset for the skin tone restoration algorithms, the upgraded Universal Tone is able to achieve higher accuracy in capturing and representing a wider spectrum of skin tones. To illustrate its innovation, TECNO will showcase two tailored versions of this enhanced color card at MWC 2025—one highlighting darker skin tones and the other focusing more on lighter skin tones, with comprehensive coverage across the diverse spectrum of skin tones.
Building on its progress, TECNO has taken a pioneering step by customizing a brand-new region-specific color card for Saudi Arabia, featuring 186 Saudi skin tone patches, in collaboration with the University of Leeds (UK) and Dar Al-Hekma University (Saudi Arabia) in late 2024. This milestone underscores TECNO’s commitment to accurate and inclusive skin tone representation, ensuring precise and authentic reproduction of the diverse skin tones in the Saudi market. Starting with this regional color card, TECNO will continuously enhance Universal Tone’s capability for local tuning through in-depth research on skin tones, local scenarios and lighting conditions, empowering algorithm optimization for regional specificity and delivering superior performance tailored to local consumer needs.
