vivo X80 Pro takes the lead and refreshes the upper limit of mobile photography

Carrying the name of flagship, the vivo X80 series finally meets us tonight. The vivo X series is the culmination of vivo’s years of exploration. The vivo Xshot, which was born for taking pictures, and the vivo Xplay, which was born for HiFi. Although they have become classics, they still leave their mark on the vivo X80 series.

This time, the vivo X80 series continues to be upgraded. The vivo X80 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm’s new generation flagship Snapdragon 8 processor platform and a newly upgraded self-developed chip V1+. Let us look at the performance of vivo X80 Pro. What new breakthroughs has the vivo series brought us beyond what we have seen?

One core, two purposes, creating a new pattern of mobile photography

As the imaging player in vivo’s products, the X series has almost become a new benchmark for today’s mobile imaging. Similarly, vivo X80 Pro, as vivo's latest masterpiece that continues to expand its boundaries in the field of mobile imaging, naturally brings together various fruitful achievements of the blue factory, including the second-generation upgraded chip of the self-developed chip V1 - vivo self-developed Chip V1+.

The relatively limited body size of mobile phone products is destined to have a bottleneck in their optical structure. However, through the more powerful computing power of smartphones, mobile photography can open up an alternative imaging advantage. . As the saying goes, expertise has its own specialty. In order to pave the way for mobile imaging experience and application, vivo specially created the self-developed chip V1 series of chips. The self-developed chip V1+, as a chip specially designed for imaging, can efficiently maintain With a data throughput speed of about 8GB/s, it not only expands the high-speed imaging computing power of ISP, but also expands the visual experience of supporting games and videos.

As the leader of dual-core, vivo X80 Pro has the self-developed chip V1+, which can truly release the ISP load of the main chip, and with 3D real-time stereoscopic night scene noise reduction, it has surging computing power. With strong support, the most intuitive experience improvement that vivo X80 Pro has given me is the doubling of the imaging efficiency of night scene shooting. This real-time noise reduction and frame interpolation ability can greatly reduce the user’s need to wait for imaging after pressing the shutter. time, thereby improving the user’s film production rate. It is worth mentioning that through the V1+ dedicated algorithm, the machine has increased energy efficiency by about 300% and reduced power consumption by about 72%. It sounds like a perfect win-win.

If we use a visual way to describe the self-developed chip V1+, then the above picture can probably give everyone an easy-to-understand understanding of the role that this chip can play. It is different from CPU and DSP are general or semi-general computing processors. The V1 series chip is an efficient chip that processes data in parallel and can easily handle a large number of complex operations.

In actual experience, it can be found that the vivo X80 Pro, which has a self-developed chip V1+ and an exclusively customized GNV 1/1.3-inch ultra-large bottom main camera, can indeed achieve faster shooting in low-light environments. Imaging speed, and can bring richer picture detail capture capabilities, such as the details of flowers and plants on the lawn, the texture on the wall, and the color restoration on clothes, it has achieved multi-faceted considerations. Not only that, in order to make the overall picture look more natural, it ensures that the original light source is not exposed, while the areas with insufficient light have a significant local brightening effect, truly restoring what the eyes see and going beyond the eyes. What you see.

In addition to the night vision shooting capability of still photos, vivo X80Pro actually also implements real-time black light night vision function for both the front lens and the rear wide-angle lens. And under dynamic video, you can also get preview and shooting effects that are comparable to night vision devices. The most valuable thing is that even in extremely low-brightness scenes, the overall picture is relatively pure, with no color noise, color noise, or brightness noise visible to the naked eye. It is indeed worthy of the name of "night vision device."

Of course, this time vivo X80 Pro not only brings stronger night scene shooting capabilities, The entire X80 series continues to be equipped with optical lenses jointly developed by vivo and Zeiss. It has ultra-low dispersion and high-transmission glass lenses, so it can ensure that the picture is sufficiently pure in the face of complex light and backlight scenes. In addition, with Zeiss Natural Color 2.0, the color performance of the machine tends to be more natural, accurate and textured. According to vivo's relevant description, the ΔE of the X80 series has further converged to 8.3% based on the 15.5% reduction of the previous generation. This seems to confirm the unswerving common philosophy of vivo and Zeiss for natural colors.

Not only that, through the new generation of Zeiss lens packages and vivo’s powerful algorithms in the portrait field, the image playability of the vivo X80 series has been improved to a certain extent, such as this newly supported Zeiss Cinematic movie The blur filter, through its unique 2.39:1 ratio and elliptical light spot dual characteristics, gives users a sense of being at a movie production site, which further proves that we are the "directors" of life.

Vivo seems to be the “more serious” among many mobile phone manufacturers on how to improve the user’s film production rate. No, through Zeiss’ deep accumulation in the field of optics and vivo’s production experience in the field of mobile smartphones, the vivo ” function, this function determines the direction of the horizon based on the gyroscope correction direction data, so that the horizon of the imaging picture does not change with the angle of the mobile phone, thus bringing a sufficiently satisfactory horizontal picture.

In addition, this time the vivo X80 series also brings a "horizon correction" function. It also uses the built-in gyroscope correction feature to solve the problem of "perspective distortion" that occurs when shooting buildings. The algorithm corrects the image and gives users a better imaging effect. At the same time, thanks to the support of Zeiss portrait micro-head and self-developed chip V1+, the vivo X80 series can also bring excellent focus tracking and shutter capture capabilities when shooting some sports scenes, ensuring that the subject is captured as much as possible. There is a clear enough picture.

Strong performance reserve, shouldering the name of flagship

vivo X80 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm’s new generation Snapdragon 8 flagship mobile platform, Samsung’s latest 4nm process, Armv9 architecture, and 8GB / 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB/512GB storage. The new generation of Snapdragon 8 focuses on improving GPU performance and energy efficiency to cope with new games with increasing hardware requirements.

Another model in the series, vivo X80, is equipped with Dimensity 9000, which pays more attention to energy efficiency and CPU performance release. The GPU performance of the Snapdragon 8 version is slightly better, and it is also known for its carefully polished imaging experience. , both models have their own characteristics.

The vivo X80 series is also powered by the vivo V1+ chip, which is a major upgrade to V1. While continuing to enhance imaging functions, it also integrates game frame insertion functions to support "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite" , "Genshin Impact", "Honkai Impact 3" and other popular national mobile games. In order to give full play to the performance of Snapdragon 8, the vivo X80 Pro body is equipped with a 27-layer VC liquid cooling structure with a total area of ??46089 mm2. Judging from this data, although the vivo X80 Pro is not a gaming phone, it is better than a gaming phone. It is difficult to find rivals among phones of the same level.

So what is the actual performance of vivo X80 Pro? Let’s start with the regular projects. We conducted a series of benchmark tests on the vivo X80 Pro. The Geekbench5 single-core score was 1196 and the multi-core score was 3603, which is the normal level of the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Next is the actual game measurement. For flagship chips like Snapdragon 8, it is no longer a problem to control the high frame rate mode of mainstream mobile games such as "Honor of Kings" and "Chicken Fighting". Let's directly Playing "Genshin Impact", this game has high requirements on mobile phone performance, and it is a great test of the hardware and software adjustment level of the mobile phone.

In an environment with a room temperature of 23C, it was actually tested to play "Genshin Impact" at the highest quality and 60 frame settings for 20 minutes. The vivo X80 Pro ran an average of 57 frames, and the overall frame rate was relatively stable. The performance of vivo X80 Pro is very satisfactory for an all-around flagship that is not focused on gaming.

In terms of charging, vivo X80 Pro is equipped with a 4700mAh battery, uses 80W dual-cell fast charging, and also supports 50W wireless flash charging. The advantage of vivo's solution is that it generates low heat and can be used with smart charging strategies to extend battery life as much as possible. Its charging speed is quite satisfactory. In our actual testing, the vivo X80 Pro can be charged to 36% in 10 minutes and fully charged in about 40 minutes, which is more in line with the advertised speed.

In addition to these, vivo X80 Pro also has many experiences that transcend parameters. For example, this 6.7-inch 2K Samsung E5 super-sensitive screen has 15 DisplayMate A+ records. It uses LTPO panel technology and has adaptive refresh rate technology, taking into account smooth picture and battery life. It is also worth mentioning that vivo’s unique ultrasonic 3D wide-area fingerprint has a large fingerprint recognition area, and it is very refreshing to complete fingerprint entry with one long press.

Finally, there is the familiar OriginOS original system. From the experience of dynamic wallpapers, the new Atomic Privacy System, Atomic Notes, etc., we can see that OriginOS has reached a very high level of maturity. After long-term polishing, vivo OriginOS maintains its unique and gorgeous style while also continuously improving its ease of use, which is worthy of praise.

Above the cloud steps is a fusion of tradition and modernity

As for the appearance design, the vivo X80 series continues the exclusive "ceramic cloud window" design, but the layout is different from the X70 series The difference is that the square ceramic piece and round camera module of the former float above the cloud steps, and the camera module is larger and brighter than before.

However, since vivo X80 Pro and X80 are equipped with different main cameras, and the X80 does not have a periscope telephoto lens, the number of cloud-level openings in the two models is also different, and the two models have different numbers of cloud-level openings. The standard lens parameter descriptions in the lower right corner of the Yunjie module of each model are also different. Apart from this, there seems to be no other visible difference in appearance design between the two models of the vivo X80 series.

Not only that, this time the vivo X80 series adopts a dual-platform flagship chip strategy for the first time. The vivo X80 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm’s new generation Snapdragon 8 flagship chip, while the vivo X80 is equipped with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9000. Flagship chip.

Although it seems that the vivo X80 is slightly lower than the X80 Pro in terms of positioning, in fact, the Dimensity 9000 relies on TSMC’s mature 4-nanometer process to enable it to have low temperature, low power consumption, and long-term performance. The three major features of battery life can satisfy those consumer groups who have higher requirements for battery life. In addition, the vivo X80 main camera is equipped with the world's first Sony IMX866 RGBW outsole sensor, which has a native size of 1/1.49 inches and 16 The :11 ratio sensor is an additional option for users who are keen on Sony sensors.

Conclusion

Based on the comprehensive experience, the X80 series is worthy of the name of vivo’s flagship. The inherited cloud window design is unique, the screen specifications and hardware performance are at the leading level, and the self-developed chip V1+ highlights the differentiation. Full-scene computational photography, "night vision", and game frame insertion, this chip gives us The improved experience is visible to the naked eye.

The vivo X80 series provides the choice of dual flagship platforms, MediaTek Dimensity 9000 and Qualcomm's new generation Snapdragon 8. In terms of purchasing suggestions, the vivo X80 has TSMC's mature 4nm process, which is suitable for those who focus on performance release and battery life. Energy efficiency users.
