What is the reason for the poor battery life of vivo mobile phones?

Text/Xiao Yi Ping Technology

Is the battery life of VIVO mobile phone too bad? I couldn't help but fall into deep thought after seeing this question. Let's take a look at some data first:

In the new five-hour battery life test of the Xiaobai evaluation database, three VIVO mobile phones ranked in the top 10, namely iQOO 7 , iQOO 5Pro and VIVO X60Pro+, from one point of view, the overall battery life level of VIVO mobile phones is not as bad as everyone thinks. It is at a satisfactory level in any case, and there is no special difference in battery life from other mainstream brands of mobile phones.

In addition, everyone should also note that the three VIVO phones that appear in this ranking have the smallest battery capacity among all the models on the list, except for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Let’s list them in detail:

p>

Meizu 17Pro: 4500 mAh unit consumes power per hour 4500*0.81=3645/5 =729mAh

Xiaomi 11: 4600 mAh unit consumes power per hour 4600*0.85=3910 /5 =782mAh

Xiaomi 10U: 4500 mAh unit consumption per hour 4500*0.87=3915/5= 783mAh

Huawei Mate40Pro: 4300 mAh unit consumption per hour Power consumption 4300*0.88=3784/5=756.8mAh

VIVO X60Pro+: 4200 mAh unit consumes power per hour 4200*0.89=3738/5= 747.6mAh

Samsung S21+: 4800 mAh unit consumes electricity per hour 4800*0.9=4320/5= 864mAh

iQOO 7: 4000 mAh unit consumes electricity per hour 4000*0.94=3760/5= 752mAh

iQOO 5Pro: 4000 mAh unit power consumption per hour is 4000*0.95=3800/5= 760mAh

Judging from the data summarized above, the average unit power consumption of VIVO mobile phones is It is relatively low, second only to Meizu, and the performance of the three VIVO phones is surprisingly consistent. From this point of view, VIVO's system is still very good at optimizing the power consumption of mobile phones. Therefore, the conclusion that the battery life of VIVO mobile phones is too poor is untenable.

Please also note that two of the three VIVO models on the above list support 120W super fast charging, which is currently the fastest on the surface, namely iQOO 7 and IQOO 5Pro. These two mobile phones are far superior to all other competing models in terms of charging speed and charging efficiency. They are the first to compress the charging cycle from 0-100 to about 15 minutes, almost enabling fast charging without waiting. Experienced.

Here is a little knowledge for everyone. In order to reduce the heat of the battery, super fast charging technology needs to add inert materials to the battery core to replace the original lithium electrons, so it will cause the battery capacity to decrease. This is why the battery capacity of iQOO 7 and iQOO 5Pro is only 4,000 mAh.

Speaking of which, let me ask you a question. If there are two mobile phones A and B in front of you, mobile phone A has half an hour longer battery life than mobile phone B, but fast charging takes 40 minutes; and mobile phone B Although the battery life is half an hour shorter than phone A, fast charging only takes 15 minutes. If it were you, which one would you choose? From my personal standpoint, I prefer to choose model B mobile phone.

In the latest Origin OS system released by VIVO, it also focuses on in-depth optimization of the battery life of mobile phones, bringing intelligent freezing technology 2.0, which can greatly optimize the power consumption of background programs. It is somewhat similar to the tombstone mechanism of IOS. It is indeed a system that Apple designers participated in the design of, so I call it an expert.

Generally speaking, in this era where there is no obvious breakthrough in battery technology, there is actually no way to improve the battery life of mobile phones, because a battery that is too large will greatly increase the thickness of the mobile phone. , affects the feel of the mobile phone, so everyone should have clearly felt that even though 4000 mAh has been popularized in the mobile phone industry, its overall battery life is not as good as before. It may be because of this reason that everyone thinks that the battery life of your new VIVO phone is not good. In fact, everyone is similar, and VIVO is relatively good at system optimization.

I bought the vivo z5x in 2019 when there was no updated version.

The battery life of the mobile phone can still wait until the system version is updated later. The battery life will plummet. During this evaluation, the old version was used. The evaluation data is very good. Wait until the later version is updated. Haha, this is vivo's routine

< p> I have used mobile phones from all major brands. The battery life of vivo mobile phones is not the best, but it is not too bad. Whether it is a performance model that focuses on practicality and a large battery, or a good-looking model that reduces the battery capacity for thinness and lightness, the battery life is not bad. In order not to attract bad guys, I won’t mention which phones have worse battery life than vivo. Everyone will have their own experience after using them more. First, the battery life does not depend on the efficacy.

Let the facts speak for themselves. When many people say that the battery life is not good, they say the battery is too small. This is true, but it is too absolute. In the new 5-hour battery life test of Xiaobai Database, the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a small battery ranked second (the iPhone 12 PM battery is less than 3,700 mAh), while the Redmi note 9 Pro with a large 4,820 mAh battery ranked last, with a difference of 1,100 mAh.

Let’s look at vivo again. The battery of X60Pro+ is 4200 mAh, which is almost the same level as Huawei Mate40Pro with 4400 mAh battery and Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra with 4500 mAh battery. You must know that the battery capacity of these two mobile phones is larger than that of the X60Pro+, and they are also more expensive, so it is already very good for the X60Pro+ to achieve this result.

Looking at the criticized iQOO7, although it has only 4000 mAh, the actual test results are more durable than the 4500 mAh K30Ultra and Samsung Note20 Ultra (this does not take into account the powerful performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 888) The objective fact of power consumption), judging from this list, recent vivo mobile phones have good battery life performance, which shows that the poor battery life of vivo mobile phones is a bit exaggerated. Second, battery life, optimization, performance, etc. are closely related.

Why are the top mobile phones on this list not known for their large batteries? It's very simple. Battery life is a comprehensive use process, and every factor is critical. Even large-capacity batteries are not entirely correct, and it also depends on the quality and density of the battery. Now that electric vehicles are becoming popular, everyone knows more about them. In a word, for the same 4000 mAh battery, some are durable and some are not. This has a lot to do with the workmanship and materials used.

Among domestic mobile phones, vivo uses very kind materials. I used to work as a summer worker in a factory, and the eldest sister on the production line said that vivo’s requirements are really strict, but the price is high and the money is returned quickly. Moreover, vivo's mobile phones, even those priced at 100 yuan, are produced in its own factory, which eliminates the profit of processing factories, which is indeed good. I dare not say that the battery life of vivo mobile phones is great, but at least it is above the mainstream level (when comparing the same price)

In addition, the battery life of a mobile phone also has a lot to do with the performance, heat dissipation and usage of the mobile phone. relation. The more powerful a mobile phone is, the higher its energy consumption will be. This is just like a sports car that consumes more fuel. Vivo's system has always been stable, smooth and not bloated. It deserves recognition in terms of energy consumption reduction. If you use it heavily and play games with full picture quality and full brightness, it will definitely have a great impact on battery life. So if you feel that the battery life of your mobile phone is not good, you can check whether there are any "fish that have slipped through the net" based on battery consumption statistics. Third, vivo has done a good job in fast charging

Vivo’s fast charging is currently in the first camp. The most powerful 120W fast charging has already mass-produced two mobile phones, which can be fully charged in 15 minutes. Among them, the price of iQOO7 Directly priced at 3,800 yuan, it is really surprising to be able to experience 120W at this price.

And now vivo’s 66W fast charging is about to be rolled out across the board. The new phones iQOO Neo5 and vivoS9 all use 66W (for details, please refer to OPPO’s 65W popularity). It may be retained except for some thousand-yuan phones. In addition to 33W, vivo’s subsequent models will be completely replaced by 66W.

So in terms of fast charging, vivo is still very radical. Before there is no good way to extend the battery life, this is a good way (after all, high performance, 5G, and 120Hz high refresh rate are hard requirements, and each of them is a big power consumer).

In short, the battery life of vivo mobile phones is still good. Maybe some thinner and lighter models have a slightly worse battery life, but this is also for the sake of feel and positioning. And I always feel that vivo is a manufacturer that pays great attention to actual experience, and the product manager will have a good choice and balance. So far, I have not encountered a vivo phone with particularly poor battery life.

Bad? It should be better than Apple's

The battery of the X60 I just bought is really not durable

The X30 I am using now has good battery life. The capacity is 4300 mAh, which is better than before. The battery life of the Samsung I used is much better, but the screen and camera are quite different from the Samsung.

Not bad? The vivoS7 battery is very durable.

This is obviously a clickbait, and it is not good to beat someone to death with a stick.

I started using VIVO’s first generation flagship phone and have used 4 of them intermittently. To be honest, the battery life of a flagship phone depends on the battery capacity. The X20PRO is the best mobile phone I have ever used. If the screen had not been broken, I would not have changed to the X60PRO. The X60 focuses on being thin and light, so it will inevitably give up the large-capacity battery. The new system is not easy to use and is basically not used. It still uses the traditional Android interface. The photography is not as good as the promotional leaflet, and is similar to other flagship phones, all gimmicks. When Zeiss coated lenses actually use glass, that will be a revolution in mobile photography. In addition, professional HiFi chips can only be used by plugging in a cable and cannot be used for Bluetooth transmission, which is a waste. Who plugs in and listens to music these days?

I am using vivo nex3s and have been using it for almost a year. I just participated in the evaluation of the new system. When I first started using it, the battery life of the phone was okay, but now I have to charge it almost twice a day. After just two or three minutes of playing with it, it lost 2%.

I feel that vivo mobile phones are indeed a bit high-priced and low-profile, and it is very laborious to update the system! My wife’s Mate20 has been updated to Android 11, and my latest system is still on Android 10! Personal suggestion: There are many mobile phone optimization methods on the Internet. You can take a look. If there is some use, try it first and make do with it first. After all, we are not rich! If possible, I will use Huawei in the future. It has strong technical strength and is good in all aspects!

It’s not bad. Maybe it’s because you’re using the wrong phone, but mine works pretty well anyway
