InvenSense Enables Superior Audio Quality For Gionee’s S8 With Best-In-Class Microphone Performance

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor platforms, today announced that Gionee, one of China’s largest smart phone manufacturers, selected the InvenSense ICS-40720 for its latest flagship smartphone, the Gionee S8. InvenSense’s ICS-40720 is an ultra-low noise microphone that provides superior audio video experience. As mobile devices continue to gain traction as consumers’ primary means of video capture, the availability of gyro-enhanced electronic image stabilization and the ability to capture equally high quality audio has OEMs seeking the best combination of solutions available. The ICS-40720’s class-leading 70dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance enables such an experience. Low noise performance is particularly important in multi-microphone applications, where precise matched sets are used to clearly record voice and music, separating them from ambient noise, for example in a live recording or school play.
