Completely reborn and fully upgraded, Bao Liqian made a second-generation evaluation of VR mobile phones.

IT 168 evaluation I don't know if you still remember that at the end of 20 16, a very special mobile phone landed in the domestic market. It takes VR panoramic photography as its selling point, and through its powerful VR lens group and its own excellent VR panoramic algorithm, it has amazed many industries once it was launched. That is a virtual reality mobile phone of Bao. On August 22nd, Bao officially released the second generation products of Daling VR mobile phone in Beijing: Daling V 10S, V11s. Judging from the information obtained at the press conference, the two products have been fully upgraded from the inside out on the basis of the previous generation. Today, let's take a look at these two products and see what new surprises the fully upgraded VR mobile phone will bring us.

As the first brand in the world to introduce VR lens into mobile phone, Bao made VR mobile phone a milestone in the whole VR panoramic photography industry, especially with video and social networking sites such as Youku and Weibo supporting panoramic sharing, VR panoramic photography is considered as the latest breakthrough in the whole mobile phone industry. Speaking of it, at the end of 20 16, the author was lucky enough to experience the VR mobile phone. The instant VR panoramic experience still impressed me deeply, and this product eventually became an indispensable helper for the author to make VR videos. So what is the improvement of the second generation product V 10S?

From the configuration point of view, the biggest selling point of Bao's V 10S is the brand-new 26-megapixel VR integrated module. According to Bao, compared with the previous generation, the module will be greatly improved in volume and image quality. In the next article, the author will show you. As Bao's flagship product this year, Bao's Daling V 1 1S has been upgraded to different degrees in appearance and configuration compared with Daling V 10S on the basis of the same brand-new VR panoramic lens group.

Bao Liqian makes V 10S look like this is a real VR mobile phone.

Speaking of it, when Bao Liqian ordered the launch of the first generation VR mobile phone, the big eyes on it made many users love and hate. I won't say much about the place I love, and everyone should probably be aware of it, that is, the problem of large volume. Although the lens size of the first generation VR mobile phone has been controlled quite well compared with other traditional VR devices, portability is one of the key points of a mobile phone, and this larger VR lens size still has a greater impact on its portability. Fortunately, after getting this Qian Bao Li Ling V 10S, this product finally feels like a mobile phone.

▲ Smaller and lighter than the previous generation.

It can be seen that compared with the original VR mobile phone, Bao Liqian made the fuselage length of V 10S significantly thinner. Even if it is put together with iPhone7 Plus, the instructions of V 10S are similar. It seems that after the lessons of the first generation, the mobile phone product team has made considerable efforts to reduce the circumference of the fuselage.

▲ Bao Li Qian compares V 10S with iPhone7 Plus.

It is understood that the V 10S VR panoramic lens ordered by Bao adopts the world's first integrated single-binocular back-to-back zigzag two-in-one lens structure design, which greatly reduces the volume of the VR lens and realizes the ultra-thin and ultra-light mobile phone integrated structure. In the end, the lens size of V 10S mobile phone is only 13.8mm, which is 42% smaller than the previous generation (23.8mm), making it the thinnest and smallest integrated mobile phone VR lens module in the world after the initial generation.

▲ Compare the camera thickness of the original VR mobile phone.

In addition to the optimization of length, the volume of VR lens group is also reduced in an all-round way. As can be seen from the figure, compared with the original VR mobile phone, the volume of the VR lens group of Liling V 10S is well controlled, and the radius of the lens bulge is equivalent to that of some mobile phones equipped with ordinary cameras. According to official data, compared with the original generation, the volume of the VR lens group of Liling V 10S is only 13.8mm (the original generation was 23.8mm). It can be said that this big eye that people love and hate has finally become a small eye that everyone loves.

▲ Bao Li Qian made the appearance of V 10S.

Back to the machine itself, Bao has obviously improved the industrial design of V 10S compared with the original generation. On the premise of controlling the volume, Bao Li Qian made the V 10S take symmetry as the design keynote of the whole mobile phone, and combined the line feeling similar to a sports car at the lens to create a luxurious and exquisite temperament.

▲

Baoqianli Daling V 10S Appearance

As for the fuselage material, the V 10S made by Bao Liqian still uses metal as the fuselage material. The corners are carefully polished by aviation aluminum alloy drilling and cutting process, and the actual feel is quite good with quite exquisite metal sandblasting process.

▲ Bao Li Qian made the appearance of V 10S.

The VR panoramic lens group, ordinary rear camera and biometric fingerprint identification module on the back of the fuselage are all placed in the middle of the back. With the curve design like a sports car, it not only conforms to its own symmetrical aesthetic concept, but also makes the value of V 10S by going up one flight of stairs.

Baoqianli Daling V 10S Appearance

Bao Li Qian's V 10S still adopts the design of virtual buttons on the screen, and the actual operation is not much different from other buttons. The Type-C interface at the bottom of the fuselage supports INOV intelligent fast charging (compatible with QC3.0), and the charging speed will be explained in detail later.

Baoqianli Daling V 10S Appearance

On the whole, Bao Li Qian made the V 10S have a significant improvement in both the length of the fuselage and the volume of the lens group compared with the original generation, which also made it more like a mobile phone than a professional device. At the same time, in terms of appearance design, the line design based on sports car incorporates symmetrical aesthetic concepts and excellent metal sandblasting technology, which also gives it a better texture and feel.

Attached is the official photo of Bao Trinidad's elder V 1 1S:

Since we haven't got the real machine with the combat command V 1 1S, let's look at the appearance of the combat command V 1 1S through the pictures provided by the government.

Bao Trinidad V 10S evaluation: VR image quality has improved significantly.

I still remember that when the first generation VR mobile phone was released, its easy-to-understand operation and the optical performance of other products made many industries shine. It can be said that Bao Li Qian integrated the concept of VR photography into his mobile phone for the first time, which is unparalleled even now. As a technological innovation enterprise, Bao Li Qian has obviously made more efforts in the new generation of VR mobile phones.

▲ Compared with the previous generation, the volume of VR lens group is reduced by 42%.

Polaroid V 10S is equipped with a 26-megapixel VR panoramic lens module, and adopts the world's first integrated single-binocular back-to-back zigzag two-in-one lens structure design, which greatly reduces the lens size while ensuring the optical performance of the lens and realizes the integrated structure of ultra-thin and ultra-light mobile phones. Compared with the original generation of 23.8mm, the lens size of Daling V 10S is only 13.8mm, and the overall volume is reduced by 42%, surpassing the previous generation to become the thinnest and smallest integrated VR lens module in the world.

In addition, with the improvement of technology, Bao's VR technology has developed to version 2.0, and the exclusive dual-lens image stitching fusion algorithm can realize fast and seamless stitching rendering preview in 0.002 seconds and real-time in-machine stitching. The synchronous processing algorithm of front and rear VR lens parameters, combined with as many as 200 VR curved lens modules, solves the problem of light yin and yang face, and truly realizes seamless stitching.

VR photo shooting method:

Speaking of shooting methods, it's actually quite simple. Friends only need to turn on the camera and then slide to the VR camera /VR video option, and they can directly enter the VR photography interface.

▲ More convenient camera interface

In terms of software, Bao Liqian ordered 10 to redesign the camera interface, and can select the corresponding camera function by sliding left/right. Compared with the original click mode, the sliding mode is more in line with the user's usage habits and is much more convenient to operate.

The new VR photo album function shows:

▲VR photo album function display

Compared with the original photo album, Bao Li Qian Daling's V 10S has been fully upgraded, supporting various photo browsing modes such as crystal ball and asteroid. In terms of sharing, with Li Qianyun's blessing, Bao Li Qian Darling's V 10S supports various sharing modes such as links and screenshots, creating a panoramic map export sharing mode, making it more convenient for users to share.

▲ crystal ball mode

As the name implies, because the actual imaging of VR photos is a sphere, and the crystal ball mode can just cover the whole VR panoramic photo, users only need to be able to use the mobile phone (gyroscope

) or swipe left and right to browse the content of the whole VR photo, and you can zoom in and out like a normal photo.

▲ Asteroid model

As an indispensable browsing mode in VR panoramic photos, asteroid mode gives people a sense of vision as soon as it is opened. It can be said that overlooking the panoramic picture at the top of the planet is full of power.

▲VR glasses mode

As one of the most important browsing modes of panoramic pictures, Bao's V 10S provides VR glasses mode, which can realize the effect of watching VR photos in real time with VR glasses, which is very convenient.

VR full dynamic video display:

▲VR full-action video demonstration

From the video point of view, compared with panorama camera in the current market, the full-motion video quality shot by Bao V 10S is very clear, and both the color reproduction degree and the picture fineness have been greatly improved compared with the original generation. Not only that, but after the experience, the author also found that in terms of operation fluency, Bao Liqian made V 10S greatly improved compared with the original generation. It seems that Bao Liqian really made great efforts in VR shooting.

From the specification point of view, Bao Li Qian has upgraded the lens group of V 10S from hardware to software. Let's show the proofs to see if the picture quality performance of the package makes V 10S surpass the previous generation.

From the overall picture quality, the optical performance of the second generation Daling VR mobile phone (V 10S) is obviously improved compared with the first generation when the lens group is smaller. In the scene with sufficient brightness, the overall picture brightness and color reproduction of Daling V 10S are better than their predecessors. In addition, in the dark scene, Bao Liqian's command V 10S can also guarantee the basic picture quality. In short, in terms of panoramic image quality of VR, this generation of VR phones has completely surpassed the previous generation and killed some panorama camera.

Ordinary lens sample display:

For ordinary lenses, the V 10S ordered by Bao Liqian is equipped with a main lens of160,000 pixels and a front camera of130,000 pixels, with an aperture of F2.0 Let's take a look at the performance of ordinary lenses.

Judging from the actual proofs, the imaging quality of the V 10S16 million pixel main lens produced by the package is remarkable in a well-lit environment. The overall color is restored naturally and the saturation is sufficient. The glare control of V 10S needs to be strengthened at night and in the face of complex light sources, but after all, night shooting is the weakness of all mobile phones.

Bao Li Qian Daling V 10S evaluation: deep customization DUI based on Android 7. 1

On the system side, Bao Liqian ordered V 10S to be equipped with DUI, designed a first-class menu, customized it for VR based on Android 7. 1.2, and redrawn the icons of the whole UI, which made the style of the system and the mobile phone more unified, and at the same time, the whole UI was much more refined than the original UI.

▲ V 10S system UI made by package.

Compared with the original UI style, DUI redraws UI icons and adds many of its own apps, such as file management. The addition of the theme center also gives users who pursue individuality more choices, but at present, the theme center still needs to enrich its own resources. After all, there are only two questions to choose from, and they can be enriched and diversified by upgrading theme stores.

▲ The theme center makes V 10S more personalized.

In addition, the author still remembers that in the process of experiencing the original VR mobile phone, the native system experience made the author feel at a loss. After all, native represents many functions that must be implemented by third-party apps. After the experience of customizing DUI for V 10S, I finally feel that the customized DUI can make up for the lack of functions, such as easy-to-use yellow pages, completely updated file management and brand-new long screenshot function. The addition of these functions greatly improves the efficiency of DUI.

▲ Yellow Pages, file management, long screenshot

Not only that, the brand-new photo album also makes the author shine. In the original product, the classification of photo albums is still complicated, but in DUI, the classification of photo albums is more clear and unified. And in order to facilitate users to share, Liling V 10S also built the sharing function into the photo album, which is quite humanized.

▲ Newly optimized photo album function to support sharing.

In order to enable users to edit VR panoramic/ordinary pictures more conveniently and quickly, Patellar V 10S also built a brand-new picture editing tool in the photo album, providing various options such as filter, cropping, brightness level and curve adjustment. Through this tool, you can quickly and comprehensively edit VR panoramic/ordinary pictures, so that users can directly edit and share them on mobile phones to social platforms such as WeChat and Weibo.

▲ More comprehensive picture editing function

After a period of experience, the author thinks that the system UI of Daling DUI has been greatly improved in terms of design and usability compared with the original Daling VR mobile phone, especially the integration of some functions makes DUI more in line with the needs of current users, but compared with the system UI of other mobile phone brands, the functions of Daling DUI still need to be expanded.

Baodaling V 10S evaluation: a fully functional 625 processor.

Baodaling V 10S is equipped with a star processor 625 from 6 series. As the first product in Series 6 to adopt 14nm FinFET technology, Snapdragon 625 has excellent power control capability under the premise of ensuring relative performance. It adopts A53 architecture with the highest frequency of 2.0Ghz designed by eight nuclear, and also has built-in X9 LTE baseband chip, which supports 300Mbps download speed and 150MBps upload speed, so it has great advantages over its peers in network.

▲ Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor

As for GPU, Snapdragon 625 processor has built-in Adreno 506 GPU from Qualcomm and the latest UBWC (Universal Bandwidth Compression) technology, which can reduce unnecessary power consumption when GPU is running and achieve a better energy consumption ratio. To put it simply, Snapdragon 625 can be used in many mid-to high-end mobile phones, and its excellent power control ability is definitely the biggest plus item.

Theoretical performance test:

▲PCMark

In the PCMark test to test the daily use level, Snapdragon 625 performed very well, and achieved quite good results in all tests. During the whole test, the temperature of the machine did not increase much, so it can be seen that the heat dissipation efficiency of 14nm is really commendable.

It can be said that Snapdragon 625 processor basically has no major problems in dealing with daily tasks, and the 8-core at 2.0Ghz also makes it have quite good multitasking ability, which is helpful for VR panoramic photography.

Baodaling V 10S evaluation: charging and endurance test.

Polaroid V 10S is equipped with its own INOV fast charging technology, which is compatible with Qualcomm QC30.0, and the maximum fast charging power is12V1.5A (18W). Let's analyze the charging speed of this product through the curve:

▲ Bao Li Qian made a complete charging curve for V 10S.

As can be seen from the whole charging process, the mobile phone battery has been charged to 22% within 20 minutes from 4%. After 60 minutes of charging, the battery of the mobile phone has reached 69%, and it takes 92 minutes to fully charge * * *, which has a great advantage in charging speed.

Durability test:

▲

V 10S Endurance Test of Bao Qianli Daling

Judging from the test results, Bao Liqian let V 10S stand by for 8 hours, with only 3% power consumption, and performed well. When shooting a VR panorama, 30 minutes of shooting consumes 24% power. Simply put, we can shoot 150 minutes without considering other states. It seems that the official recording time of 100 minutes is still conservative. In other aspects, online video playback consumes 12% for 60 minutes, music playback consumes 6% for 60 minutes and the glory of the king consumes 7% for 30 minutes. It can be said that in terms of power consumption, thanks to the excellent power control ability of Xiaolong 625, V 10S can last for one day without any problems.

Bao Li Qian's evaluation summary of V 10S: a new weapon for VR panoramic shooting

As the first mobile phone brand in the industry to support VR panoramic shooting, Bao Li Qian was determined to bring the concept of VR photography to consumers from the first product. Thanks to Bao's profound technical skills in the optical field, V 10S has made many changes compared with the original generation. Brand-new VR lens module and optimized software algorithm enable ordinary consumers to experience the fun brought by VR photography.

▲ Bao Li Qian summarized the evaluation of V 10S.

Highlights of Baodaling V 10S products:

Smaller VR lens module, better picture quality;

I still remember that the 23.8mm VR lens of the first generation VR mobile phone was already the smallest lens module in the industry at that time, but in the second generation, only the 13.8mm VR lens set once again set a new record for the smallest VR lens. Of course, not only is the volume reduced, but in terms of image quality, the image quality of the V 10S package is quite remarkable compared with the original generation.

Fully upgraded exterior design:

Compared with the original design style that is more like a productivity tool, Bao's K 10S has been precipitated. Its three-dimensional control of the machine and the overall design that is more suitable for viewing make K 10S a real mobile phone that can be used every day, rather than a big brick that produces VR content. Here, I must give a compliment to the product design team that ordered V 10S.

Snapdragon 625, 18W fast charge:

Although Qualcomm's flagship processor was not adopted, these star processors Snapdragon 625 did not cast a shadow on Daling V 10S. On the contrary, their excellent multitasking ability and good power control make Daling V 10 have longer battery life and stronger VR panoramic computing power. The addition of 18W fast charge also gives it a flagship charging experience.

Bao Qianli Daling V 10S Current

Insufficient:

The function of the system itself is still very few.

Although the functions of VR mobile phone system have been greatly improved compared with the original generation, the functions of the system are relatively few, but with the update of the system, I believe more functions will be online, and users can download applications according to their own needs. However, for users who advocate simplicity and speed, a clean system is more attractive.

▲ The package sends a command to V 10S.

Compared with the slightly immature product design and system experience of the original Daling VR mobile phone, Daling V 10S can be said to be reborn. Bao Li Qian's performance on Daling V 10S is eye-catching, both in appearance design and system experience. In terms of VR photography, with the deep experience of Bao, J 10S has a smaller VR lens group and the image quality has been improved. Even compared with the current mainstream VR shooting equipment, the picture quality of J 10S is quite excellent.

Looking back at the whole mobile phone market, with the increasingly serious homogenization of mobile phones, how to create brand value has become an important problem to be solved urgently by many mobile phone brands. Bao is still a novice in the mobile phone industry, but it is such a novice who dares to touch areas that others dare not touch. Through his deep experience in the field of optics, he has created such a product that combines VR panorama. This spirit is worth learning from all brands.
