Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Less than half a year after the release of vivo's first folding screen, the newly evolved vivo X Fold+ has officially arrived. What kind of spark will it have on this product with a stronger Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 chip, a stronger 80W dual battery flash charge and a 5000 + app compatibility experience? With these doubts, we enter the deep experience of vivo X Fold+ together.

First, the biggest change in the appearance of vivo X Fold+ is the new Huaxia red color matching. Red is the deep background color that runs through Chinese civilization. Vivo X Fold+ 's Huaxia Red is a tribute to the forge ahead and innovation of Chinese civilization.

Different from the traditional red, this background color derived from the Chinese blood is deeper, thicker, with plain leather craftsmanship, and the business style is very strong. With the Chinese red skin, the black frame, the image module, the red and black combination, and the sparkling vivo engraved Logo on the plain skin make the phone show a unique and elegant temperament.

Let's take a look at the details. In the part of the image module, vivo X Fold+ adopts a square and circular skyline design, with a round four-camera module on top of the square "celestial scale", a large area of white space on the right side, and an obvious Zeiss small blue mark in the upper right corner.

Between the circular lens module and the square decoration, there is a micro-curved glass surface connection, this continuous glass surface skillfully transitions the sense of outburst of the camera module.

In the rotating shaft part, the metal sandblasting process is adopted, and the matte grinding is very delicate.

At first glance, the frame in the vivo X Fold+ is angular, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a small round chamfer in the area near the edge, which makes the frame look lighter and thinner.

In the middle box, in addition to the volume key and the power button, there is also an independent physical mute key. users can choose whether the media volume follows the mute button to turn off / on through the system setting to achieve the real "one-button mute".

At the top of the fuselage, there are huge speaker openings and infrared rays; at the bottom of the fuselage, there are microphones, speakers, SIM card slots and charging ports; in addition, the vivo X Fold+ has three microphones (top + bottom + rear lens set) and a barometer to show air pressure and altitude in real time in the compass.

Vivo X Fold+ BWH is the same size as its predecessor, weighing 311g (slightly 1g). It feels heavy and sturdy, but it is after all a flagship folding machine for stacking materials. Long live our understanding of this weight.

In terms of packaging, the vivo X Fold+ outer package has a large volume and drawer design. On the front of the box, in addition to vivo's Logo, there is also Boao United logo to emphasize the identity of "officially designated mobile phone of Boao Forum for Asia".

Accessories include pick-up pin, charger, 1.5m data line, no protective shell.

The standard charger for vivo X Fold+ is an 80W dual Type-C port gallium nitride charger with a foldable socket that supports PD fast charging and is compatible with the charging needs of most electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and notebooks on the market.

1.5m data line + double C port gallium nitride charger, which is the most silent and high respect for high-end business travelers.

Get back on the screen.

As a folding screen phone, the vivo X Fold+ has the same outer screen display ratio as a normal phone, with a 6.53in size, 2520 x 1080 resolution and an aspect ratio of 21:9. It doesn't feel like a "remote control" except that it is slightly heavier.

After the deployment of the vivo X Fold+, there is a super-large inner screen with an 8-inch, 4120Hz 3.55 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2160mm 1916. This inner screen also uses E5 material and supports 120Hz high brush. It also achieved the world's first 19 Display Mate performance records and obtained the overall A + level certification, which is still the top folding screen at present.

The outer screen is also E5 Samsung diamond arrangement, and has a 120Hz high brush, which is used with the same 120Hz inner screen, so there will not be a sense of fragmentation in the experience because of the different refresh rate. In addition, the screen and the outer screen adopt a consistent calibration scheme, which has almost the same color and display, and the visual feeling is consistent in the process of switching between the inner and outer screens.

Vivo X Fold+ still uses the well-received ultrasonic screen fingerprint technology. Compared with traditional photoelectric fingerprints, ultrasonic fingerprints are of a higher level in terms of unlocking rate, speed, anti-interference and security, and there is no sudden bright blindness when used at night. Compared with the common side fingerprints of folding screen phones, the ultrasonic screen fingerprints of the vivo X Fold+ will not be mistakenly touched and unfriendly to "left-handed" people.

At present, there are not many mobile phones that use ultrasonic screen fingerprints. as for folding screen phones with double ultrasonic fingerprints, it is only enjoyed by Blue Factory, and competitors have to follow up quickly.

However, it needs to be emphasized that due to internal stacking and other reasons (after all, two sensors are stuffed in), the ultrasonic dual-screen fingerprint area of vivo X Fold+ is not as large as that of vivo X Note, so it needs to be entered more than ten times when entering fingerprints for the first time, and it also does not support Blue Factory's very easy-to-use application quick start function. However, this is also a small regret of nitpicking, after all, as a folding screen, using ultrasonic fingerprints, or two, just unlock the experience, has lost several blocks of peer products.

Second, performance note: the running points are all tested in the large screen state, and the performance mode is turned on.

On the hardware side, vivo X Fold+ has a considerable improvement. The first is the processor, which was upgraded from the previous Snapdragon 8 to the latest Snapdragon 8 +. Due to the use of TSMC 4nm process, Snapdragon 8 + has been greatly improved, especially in terms of temperature control and power consumption.

Secondly, in the charging part, the vivo X Fold+ battery has been upgraded from the previous 4600mAh to 4730mAh, and the fast charge has also been upgraded from 66W to 80W, and it also supports 50W wireless flash charging and 10W wireless reverse charging. Other specifications are still at the top level, including customized SPU security chips, 12GB+512GB, 12GB+256GB storage, super version UFS 3.1 + enhanced LPDDR5, and so on.

In addition, it should be emphasized that vivo X Fold+ also supports DSDA technology for the first time, with the first folding screen dual 5G dual-card dual-pass technology, for example, when the primary card game / call, the secondary card can still make calls / calls / text messages. For business people, this function is very important, do not miss to answer the phone, cut off the network, keep the dual-card communication lasting and smooth, and may be able to negotiate a large business list at a critical moment.

Let's take a look at the running points of vivo X Fold+.

In 3DMark's Wild Life Stress Test project, vivo X Fold+ achieved 88.5% stability. Compared with the performance of the previous generation Snapdragon 8 (70%), the performance of Snapdragon 8 + has been significantly improved, which also proves that Snapdragon 8 + has a better energy-efficiency ratio and can bring more lasting and temperature performance release.

The comprehensive score of vivo X Fold+ reached 1090477, which was close to 1.1 million.

3D Mark, which focuses more on the theoretical performance of GPU, has a total score of 10690 for vivo X Fold+ in the Wild Life test project, with an average frame rate of 64fps, the current top performance of the Android camp:

For GeekBench5, which pays more attention to the theoretical performance of CPU, the score of single core of vivo X Fold+ is 1327 and that of multi-core is 4159:

Running scores of different models in GeekBench5:

(the performance training of different models is different, the above running points are for reference only.)

In the flash performance test, the write speed of vivo X Fold+ reached 1875MB/s, and even the read speed reached 1766MB/s. There is no doubt that UFS 3.1 is full of blood:

The game part, go directly to the original god.

The test conditions remain the same: the highest image quality, dynamic blur off, performance mode on, 30 minutes, outdoor running chart + fighting monsters for game scenes, battle scenes exceeding 60% of the total game time, and internal screen testing.

(the picture quality of the original god is set as above)

As shown in the figure below, in the 30-minute game, the average frame rate of vivo X Fold+ reaches 57.96fps, the lowest frame of the game is 39fps, and the rest of the game is basically maintained at around 50-60fps. In the later stage, including the battle scene, the overall performance of Snapdragon 8 is significantly better than that of Snapdragon 8 flagship. (under the same test conditions, the frame rate of some Snapdragon 8 models can only be maintained around 40fps).

Let's take a look at the power performance. For 30-minute games, the power consumption of the vivo X Fold+ reached 4.94W (2470mW*2).

For comparison, the vivo X Fold score is 5.8W (which is still the lower power consumption of Snapdragon 8). From this point of view, the power consumption of Snapdragon 8 + has been significantly reduced after vivo X Fold+ upgraded Snapdragon 8 +.

Finally, it is the temperature performance. Compared with the frame rate and power consumption performance, the temperature control performance of vivo X Fold+ gives me a bigger surprise.

First of all, during the whole play, there was almost no heat in the place held by vivo X Fold+, the temperature was basically concentrated in the camera area, and the temperature was not high, and the measured maximum temperature was only 41.0C.

Let's take a look at the charging test of the vivo X Fold+.

Compared with the vivo X Fold, the latter battery increases the 130mAh, but weighs only 1g, which is really a pleasant surprise.

After CTOnews.com measurement, X Fold+ cable 80W, can charge the battery capacity to 60% in 15 minutes, full only takes about 35 minutes, completely full, the time is about 36-37 minutes.

It is shown in the following figure:

In the test, the wired 80W flash charge of X Fold+ can be maintained at 70W power in the first 3 minutes. Even after the power exceeds 50%, the power remains about 37W, and finally when it is charged to 99%, it still maintains about 15W. In addition, the trickle-down time is also very short, basically only lasted about 2 minutes, when the power is 3W, the phone indicates that the battery is fully charged.

Interactive this time, the vivo X Fold+ hinge has also been upgraded, including the use of liquid metal zirconium alloy, FS53 aviation high strength steel, hand-torn steel sheet and other materials. As for the crease problem, the vivo X Fold half a year ago can basically be said to have eliminated the "crease", and its daily use is basically negligible, as is the performance of vivo X Fold+ half a year later.

Three folding screen phones, crease comparison: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 (bottom), vivo X Fold (left), Xiaomi MIX Fold2 (top)

Vivo X Fold+ supports about 60-120 degree hover, including delayed photography, waist flat view, nail / QQ / WeCom hover video call, hover viewing, hover reading, WPS hover speaker mode and other functions.

Hover Video call (QQ)

Hover to watch the movie (Youku)

Vivo X Fold+ hovers to watch movies to support more video applications, including bilibili, CCTV Frequency, Huya, Douyu, Mango TV and so on. In hover mode, you can watch the movie in the upper half of the screen, while the lower half of the screen is used to control the playback progress, volume, brightness and so on.

Another important upgrade is that vivo X Fold+ adds a "lock outer screen display" function, which can be placed at any angle and use the outer screen. In the previous vivo X Fold evaluation, the author once "complained" that the vivo X Fold hover only supported the inner screen, not the outer screen display. Now, vivo X Fold+ finally ushered in this function, we set to turn on the "lock outer screen display", at this time the phone is placed at any corner, the outer screen can be used normally, this small switch directly magnifies the imagination of the "hover" experience.

For example, under the posture of "tent" and "desk calendar", you can watch the movie directly with the outer screen, which appears in front of you in a more natural and comfortable angle, while the whole mobile phone also takes into account the function of the mobile phone bracket, which is even more stable than "hovering" and highly practical.

Desk calendar mode

Tent mode

For example, in "screen mode", you can stand your phone upright for vertical screen delay photography or selfie, brushing videos, and so on.

Screen mode

After the development of folding screen in recent years, the practicability and advantages of folding screen mobile phones are becoming more and more obvious, and folding screen manufacturers are also willing to study some more practical functions. Vivo X Fold+ joined the "lock outer screen display" function, the function is very small, but really add points to the experience, this point, the author is also very urgent hope that competitors can quickly follow up, so that the folding screen as much as possible to play the advantage of "folding", rather than just a dazzling technology product.

Of course, having written so much, the author still has to make a small suggestion or request for vivo X Fold+-like Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, the outer screen can also support "global horizontal screen". For example, in hovering mode such as "tent", the system will automatically landscape the screen, and the application will also switch to horizontal display, so that as users, the experience will obviously be more unified.

In the ecological adaptation of large screen applications that people are more concerned about, vivo X Fold+ has achieved 5000+App compatibility adaptation. Here, "compatibility adaptation" means that the main and secondary screens used on the folding screen do not crash. According to the author's actual experience, dozens of App commonly used by the author did not collapse when switching between the main screen and the secondary screen; some core public applications, such as Wechat, Weibo, Taobao, etc., rarely exist stretching, layout discomfort and other phenomena in the use of primary and secondary pages.

Finally, let's talk about the large-screen interaction of vivo X Fold+. In terms of system interaction in the inner screen, vivo X Fold+ supports three-finger upward slide application split screen, application split, split window start at the same time, and so on.

The first is "application split screen". Two different applications are now on the big screen at the same time, and the operation is very simple, with only three fingers sliding up. You can exhale the sidebar and drag the app onto the screen to split the screen.

Application split screen

The second is "application split", which is officially called "application multi-window display". Take CTOnews.com as an example, when browsing the home page, full-screen display is applied. When the second display level is opened, the application will automatically split the screen; in applications such as JD.com and Taobao, it will show a split-screen state when opened.

In terms of small windows, vivo X Fold+ supports small window icons, sidebar small windows, split-screen double small windows and so on.

For example, in the application full-screen state, if you move the upper left corner of the screen, you can quickly call up the small window mode, drag the lower left corner, and switch the size of the small window to minimize it into a floating window.

If you want to close the window, you can turn the window into a floating ball by clicking the minimize button, which can support up to 12 floating balls.

GIF demo, partial screenshot

For example, by quickly starting the application bar, the edge of the screen returns to gesture side sliding, pause to bring up the application sidebar, and click on the application of the sidebar, which also appears in the form of a small window. Even 1-2 small windows can be brought up on the split-screen interface, that is, one screen displays four applications at the same time.

In other areas, vivo X Fold+ also offers large screen optimizations for financial applications, amber scans, quantum suites, atomic notes for productivity, and device interconnection, such as pairing with vivo Pad tablets for content cross-screen synchronization and call relay.

This part has been described in detail in the previous evaluation of vivo X Fold, you can learn about it if you are interested.

All in all, vivo X Fold+ does pay attention to the optimization of the large screen. However, here the author still makes a small suggestion, in the vivo X Fold+ system setup, about the large screen interaction related functions, switches are respectively distributed in other secondary menus, it is more time-consuming to find, if you directly add a "large screen area" secondary menu in the setting, the experience is obviously better.

4. Image default settings: AI, automatic HDR, Zeiss Natural Color off

The image part, which continues the set on vivo X Fold, is a rare folding screen product with no compromise in terms of image, with a ratio of four cameras:

5000 megapixel OIS super large background camera, S5KGN5, 23mm, f / 1.75,

4800 megapixels 114o ultra wide angle camera, IMX598, 14mm, f / 2.2

1200 megapixel professional portrait camera, IMX663, 47mm, f / 1.98

8 megapixel 60 x OIS periscope ultra telephoto, OV08A10, 5x optical zoom, f / 3.4.

Let's take a brief look at the sample sheet:

Strictly speaking, this position's flagship machine, its main shot, ultra-wide-angle image performance, such as exposure, white balance and detail control, can hardly pick out any problems. More difference lies in the adjustment of color and whether it has the image ability of full focus.

Take color as an example, Blue Factory puts more emphasis on "memory color", which is too cold and colourful, which is in line with the color in memory. If you don't like this set of "memory colors", vivo X Fold+ also provides Zeiss natural colors and supports them in full focus.

Main photographer

Still want to praise X Fold+ 's 12 million 2X lens, not only can shoot Zeiss portrait, but also has quite high imaging quality and film rate, and the color is also very pleasing. The author's utilization rate of this 2X lens is much higher than that of the main camera and ultra-wide angle.

2X

As for this 5X periscope, not to mention the quality, it's better than nothing, right?

5X

In terms of night scene, the advantages of Zeiss T * coating and other technologies will be fully demonstrated.

Vivo X Fold+ night scene sample picture gives people the first impression, is extremely transparent, clean, and extremely strong highlight suppression ability, the film rate is very high, not only the main shot, including ultra-wide angle, 2X, have the above advantages.

Main photographer

Ultra-wide angle

The second point is to have night vision-like night scene effect, it must be emphasized that vivo X Fold+ in the night scene exposure strategy, not brainless to increase the brightness, but, as far as possible to ensure the atmosphere around the night, not false bright, more real, but the details are far more than the naked eye can see.

As shown in the following picture, there is no light source around the shooting environment, and even the moon in the night sky is hidden behind the clouds, but the night scene of vivo X Fold+ is still bright and clean, the night sky is pure, and it is difficult to find noise in magnification, while the branches and leaves in the distance are still green, the details of the walls are clear and analytical.

If you turn on the night view mode, this advantage will also be magnified, as shown in the image below, which can be said to be a dark environment in which vivo X Fold+ can even photograph stars in the night sky.

In the end: among the four major domestic brands, vivo is the last contestant in the field of folding screen, but adhering to the concept of "dare to be the queen of the world", the flagships of these two folding screens released by vivo have been "competing for the first place".

Although in naming, the new vivo X Fold+ only has an extra "+" number, but it is this inconspicuous little "+" number that brings a huge upgrade of experience-- the new Snapdragon 8Com makes vivo X Fold+ have better performance and power performance; customized SPU security chip, multi-user mode, atomic privacy system, hidden mode, remote lock card and other functions, so that vivo X Fold+ has a full range of privacy protection. The first dual 5G dual-card double-pass enables stronger communication between dual 5G cards; the upgraded fast charge and large battery further reduce the user's anxiety about battery life; interactively, the upgraded multi-angle hover greatly improves the practicability of the folding screen, as well as a series of large screen interactive functions such as 5000+App adaptation, application separation, small window icon and so on.

Admittedly, vivo X Fold+ is a leader in crease control, configuration, hinge technology, large screen interaction and even imaging, and if you have to find something, a heavier feel and slightly cumbersome folding screen interaction settings may not make the product 100% perfect, but that's not a problem when you see the pricing.

Overall, the vivo X Fold+ is a flagship folding screen that is high-end and extremely business-friendly, and if you need a comprehensive folding screen phone, then the vivo X Fold+ is the more appropriate choice right now.
