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

When vivo released the X80 phone six months ago, some netizens on CTOnews.com commented like this:

X80 is the most fragrant domestic model at present.

Indeed, since its official launch in April this year, in the price range of 3500 to 5000 yuan, the sales and share of vivo X80 mobile phones are the first, and twice as much as the second. Not only that, the X80 is also the flagship machine with the highest value preservation rate in the Android camp in 2022.

Where is the X80 incense? The author thinks that it can be simply summarized into two points:

First, Qualcomm and MediaTek platforms are treated equally, and there is no difference in configuration due to platform differences.

Second, in the 3K-4K gear, almost all the necessary configurations are filled, including images and X-axis motors, which are easy to be cut by competitors, so that people can pick out no problems.

Of course, the protagonist of this article is not the X80 phone, but its successor, the X90. However, there is a question in front of many people: since X80 is already so fragrant, is there any room for X90 to upgrade?

At the vivo launch on November 22, vivo gave his answer-X90, which could be even better.

This time, vivo X90 naturally won the debut of Tianji 9200, as well as UFS4.0+MCQ multi-cycle queue combination, VCS bionic spectrum, BOE Q9 light emitting devices, and self-developed FIT technology. Such as X-axis linear motor, full scene NFC, stereo double Yang, infrared these configurations are also available, even the standard rare IP64 class waterproof and dustproof, X90 this time.

Of course, the same price is still 3699 yuan.

So, what is the actual experience of the vivo X90? How to interpret the true fragrance again?

At present, CTOnews.com has got the vivo X90 with 12GB+512GB to black color matching. Let's take a look at it through the evaluation experience.

First, the design is first of all on the color matching, vivo X90 brought Huaxia red, to black, ice blue three colors, CTOnews.com got the most black version.

Pictures from the vivo official design process, "to Black" uses fluorite AG technology, although it is not jumping black, but still full of visual impact, in the light, the black fuselage will even twinkle a little starlight, the pure black glass has become delicate and dazzling, with some restraint in the brilliance.

In terms of touch, the fluorite AG process also brings a delicate and silky feel, and it is difficult to leave fingerprint sweat stains.

In the CMF design of the whole machine, according to the official description, the vivo X90 series was inspired by the rising sun, skyline and earth in the early morning light. The entire camera area rises from the skyline to shape the sunrise.

In the camera module part, the vivo X90 incorporates all the cameras into the "big eyes", which protrudes slightly from the fuselage. At the junction of the "big eyes" and the rear shell, vivo also transitions the sense of protuberance of the camera module through a frosted metal Halo ring. These details, which are difficult to capture at first glance, are cleverly designed and found everywhere on this phone.

On the right side of the camera is Zeiss's Logo, and on the top is a written logo of the camera size, as well as a vertical bar of supplementary lights.

Below the camera, there is the ribbon cloud step, the biggest highlight of the vivo X90 design.

The vivo X90 carries out a new reconfiguration design on the basis of the golden ratio segmentation, which clearly divides the camera area and the holding area of the mobile phone.

This metal-like waistband design gives the vivo X90 a very unique recognition and a high-end feel.

When many readers see the rendered picture, they think that this "ribbon cloud step" is a bit abrupt, but vivo X90 belongs to the kind of product that "the real machine picture looks better than the rendered picture". When the author gets the real machine, it focuses on balancing the visual design of the whole machine. When you see the back of the phone, you will be visually guided by this "cloud step", and you can't help but notice the existence of this part. And let the original left of the entire circular camera module, in this "cloud step" against, to achieve a more balanced and coordinated visual effect.

The ribbon cloud step is also printed with the word Xtreme Imagination / vivo-ZEISS co-engineered, and the whole cloud step uses ribbon lithography, which has a strong ceramic texture, which forms a very obvious light-mute contrast with the fluorite AG process of the fuselage. Moreover, when you hold the phone in your right hand, the position of your index finger happens to be on this "cloud step", and its own "oily damping" will be separated from the "silky" display area of the AG glass of the fuselage, which immediately enriches the touch.

It is said that the design is subtraction, but this ribbon cloud step added to the vivo X90 series, whether aesthetic or touch, can be said to be the finishing touch of the whole mobile phone CMF design. I have to admire the skills of Blue Factory designers.

In terms of body size, the BWH data ratio of the vivo X90 is 164.10 × 74.44 × 8.48mm (to black / ice blue), and the weight is just 200g, which is not light, but full of texture.

Go back to the front.

The first launch of the vivo X90 is equipped with a 6.78inch BOE Q9 super retinal eye screen, 2160Hz PWM high-frequency dimming, SGS eye protection certification, HDR10 + and so on.

The front camera is centered and is a 3200-megapixel GD2 with an f / 2.45aperture.

The screen uses a new generation of luminous materials with a peak brightness of 1300nit and a new blue diamond arrangement with a pixel density of up to 452ppi. Vivo also designed a triple new eye protection solution of software, hardware and chip.

In addition, the screen color style also adds "Zeiss Natural Color" mode, which realizes the accurate restoration of natural color from the front end to the back end of the display.

Second, the performance chapter vivo X90 first released Ke Tian Ji 9200, supplemented by the self-developed image chip V2, provided four storage versions: 8GB, 128GB, 256GB, 256GB, 12GB, 512GB, and adopted UFS4.0+MCQ eight-core eight-channel, LPDDR5 four-channel specifications, 8GB+128GB for UFS3.1+MCQ eight-core eight-channel, LPDDR5 four-channel.

The battery is equivalent to 4810m Ahcore 120W dual-core flash charge. other configurations include X-axis linear motor, full scene NFC, stereo dual loudspeaker, IP64 class waterproof and dustproof, etc.

Moreover, vivo X90 and MediaTek have jointly developed five major chip technologies:

 MCQ multi-loop queue: eight-core eight-way, greatly improved read and write speed, full play of CPU performance

 AIxModem perception & search AI engine: greatly improve the speed of networking and search in different locations

 APU deep optimization: offline voice input method power consumption optimization, performance improvement

 MAGT adaptive picture quality mode launch: measured King 120 frame rate + extreme picture quality, not only the frame rate is close to full frame, running for a full hour, but also the power consumption can be reduced by 18%.

 intelligent Blu-ray reduction technology: frame by frame analysis, frame by frame adjustment, balance screen eye protection effect and color accuracy.

Briefly talk about MediaTek Tianji 9200.

This is Fago's latest flagship SoC and the industry's first processor using TSMC's second-generation 4nm process, integrating 17 billion transistors. In terms of architecture, Cortex-X3 super-core with 3.05GHz, A715 large core with 3 2.85GHz, A510 small core with 4 1.8GHz, super-core and large core all support pure 64-bit applications.

According to official tests, compared with Tianji 9000's GeekBench 5 CPU, Tianji 9200 has a 12% increase in single-core performance, a 10% increase in multi-core performance, a 10% increase in heat dissipation, and a maximum 25% reduction in power consumption under the same performance. As for GPU, it is equipped with Immortalis-G715 's flagship GPU and supports mobile hardware ray tracing technology.

Let's first take a look at the running scores of the vivo X90.

First of all, an Rabbit, the overall score of vivo X90 is 1221494, of which CPU is 277085 and GPU is 510197, which is the theoretical achievement of Tianji 9200.

As a contrast, the running score of an rabbit in Tianji 9000 was maintained at about 1 million +. With a gap of 200,000, the performance improvement is very obvious.

GeekBench 5 running score, vivo X90 single core 1408, multi-core 4428, the performance is also very excellent, the score is basically close to the measured Tianji 9200 engineering machine of CTOnews.com.

Some SoC GeekBench 5 run points, multiple run scores take the highest value, the results are only for reference 20 consecutive rounds of 3D Mark Wild Life,vivo X90 stability reached 77.6%, the performance is slightly better than Tianji 9000, belonging to the upstream level, it can also be easily judged that the performance training of vivo X90 is relatively "radical".

Let's take a look at the storage test again in 20 rounds of 3D Mark Wild Life.

UFS4.0+MCQ eight-core eight-channel blessing, vivo X90 unexpectedly ran as high as 4110MB/s reading score in Androbench, and write score reached 2665MB/s, far exceeding the 1800MB/s score of USF3.1. In the storage test of an rabbit, the score reached 130000 +, setting the highest score in the CTOnews.com evaluation room.

After all, it is UFS4.0, it seems that with the popularity of UFS4.0 mobile phones, 4110MB/s reading results should be a regular state, vivo X90 is obviously a good start.

In terms of charging, the vivo X90 equivalent 4810mAh battery is equipped with 120W dual-core flash charge. it only takes 8 minutes to charge 50% in ultra-fast mode, and it takes about 28 minutes to fully charge.

Let's take a look at the game performance of the vivo X90.

CTOnews.com chose the "original God" with the highest picture quality for 30 minutes.

It is still the old rule for the original god to choose the picture quality as above.

Vivo X90 resolution default, turn on performance mode, 30 minutes of the highest image quality heavy load "original God", full-height picture quality, turn off dynamic blur, the scene choose to run in the wild + fight monsters, the battle scene accounts for about half of the time.

The test results show that the average frame rate of vivo X90 is 59.3fps.

The vivo X90 original god 30-minute frame rate 59.3fps is shown above. In the 30-minute "original God" game, the vivo X90 does not lock the frame. In the battle scene, the frame rate is generally reduced to 55fps, and cliff drop frames are rare.

After all, it is the first Tianji 9200, and of course there is also core scheduling analysis. Let's take a look at the core map:

As shown in the above figure, in the 30-minute game, after all, it is a high-load scene. The four A510s of vivo X90 basically have no power (green box above), and the main ones are Cortex-X3 super-large core and three A715 large cores. Cortex-X3 super-large core is powered, but it is not fully loaded, and fluctuates between 1.2Ghz and 2.5Ghz most of the time.

With this training, the vivo X90 also brings relatively excellent "low power consumption". For example, in the original God game, the average power consumption of the vivo X90 is only 5.8W (2.689m2), which is much lower than the 7W of Snapdragon 8Gen1.

The average power consumption of the vivo X90 in 30 minutes, so the heating performance of the vivo X90 is also relatively good. CTOnews.com measured that the highest temperature of the vivo X90 reached 41 °C, concentrated at the top of the screen.

This fever performance, in a number of flagship aircraft, is a relatively excellent performance, of course, it may be related to the winter weather in early November in Qingdao. On the other hand, it is also directly related to the 4313mm ²wide area soaking plate that is available in vivo X90 itself. After all, such a big radiator, no matter how hot it is, it will really lose face to physics.

In addition, the built-in V2 chip of the vivo X90 can also be used as a frame inserting game chip. in the "original God" game, it provides the function of increasing the frame rate. In this mode, the GPU of Tianji 9200 only needs to render 45 frames, and then double the frame rate through V2 on the basis of 45 frames to achieve a game effect similar to 90 frames.

Before inserting frames, GPU needs to render 60 frames, while after inserting frames, GPU only needs to render 45 frames, so in theory, the power consumption after inserting frames is reduced. This part of CTOnews.com has been tested many times in previous vivo reviews, so I won't go into it here.

Third, the highlights of the video vivo X90 are not only Tianji 9200, but also the flagship Zeiss imaging system.

First of all, in terms of hardware specifications, it is still the IMX866+IMX663+IMX663 combination, which has not changed with the previous generation.

However, there are buts here.

In the X90, the IMX866 main shot also has the first VCS bionic spectrum blessing; the 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens IMX663, for the first time equipped with the professional function of the landscape field Zeiss miniaturization; 12MP IMX663 portrait lens, but also added Zeiss flare portrait to simulate the halo effect of Zeiss film lens in the backlight scene.

Secondly, the vivo X90 also has a self-developed chip V2, equipped with new self-developed MEMC, AI NR, HDR Tone Mapping algorithms, which can greatly improve the real-time AI noise reduction and HDR fusion effect of the original image information.

With regard to the v2 chip, the author does not specify, interested partners can click on this article to learn:

"vivo released the second generation of self-developed video chip V2, which can be interconnected and synchronized with Tianji 9200 in 100 seconds."

It is necessary to talk about VCS bionic spectrum technology. With official data, VCS bionic spectrum technology is mainly used to improve the material innovation of color filter (Color Filter), further restore the color information reception of human eyes, and increase the signal-to-noise ratio by 20% and color restoration by 15%.

Actual sample: note: all uploaded samples are compressed, and there are no special instructions for shooting, and they are all set by default (default AI on, automatic HDR, Zeiss natural color off)

Ultra-wide angle

Main photographer

2X

Main photographer

Ultra-wide angle

2X on the daytime sample, vivo X90 by default straight out of the photo exposure is accurate, the color is particularly in place, although partial to the "memory color" adjustment, but also the kind of cold-coloured look and feel, red brick walls and green plants are slightly brighter than the real world, but definitely not the kind of "fake red" or "fake green".

On the other hand, whether it is the main photo or portrait, ultra-wide angle, the color performance of the three cameras is surprisingly consistent, and there is no color deviation problem caused by camera switching, which is really surprising.

Third, in some highlight ratio environment, it will show a dynamic range, excellent handling of light and dark details, such as the following image (partial magnification), the sun is directed on the glass, at this time the glass shows a warm golden color, naked eye observation is actually slightly dazzling, but in the vivo X90 this part of the processing is very textured, so that the photo looks very three-dimensional.

If the main sample sheet is partially enlarged on the fourth point, then name and praise the vivo X90 viewfinder, which can basically do "what you see is what you shoot". The entire Android camp, the vivo X90 viewfinder performance should be the closest to iPhone.

This will be better shown in the night shooting. For example, in the following picture, what the viewfinder looks like, and whether the photos taken are basically bad or not.

Night scene, the advantage of vivo 90 is still obvious, Zeiss T * blessing, even if the dark environment, the picture can be guaranteed to be transparent and clean, with little noise.

Second, the main shot, highlight suppression and anti-glare ability is very excellent, shooting urban light source, the film rate is very high.

However, the ultra-wide-angle lens is slightly difficult in this environment, 12 million of the resolution is a little slow, and the edge position is easy to smear marks. However, as far as this gear is concerned, the performance is also satisfactory.

Next, let's talk about the place where the author likes vivo images best-portraits.

This should be the third time that the author has "bragged" the portrait of vivo in the evaluation, but this is the case. After all, there are independent portrait lenses and unique Zeiss lens bags. In terms of hardware alone, there are not many big companies that insist on 50mm portrait lenses for a long time in terms of hardware.

This time the portrait lens of the vivo X90 is IMX663, an old friend of Blue Factory, so there is no need to say much about running-in. This time, Blue Factory has not yet added a brand-new Zeiss flare portrait to this old friend, simulating the classic Zeiss movie scene and making the halo lively.

Sample portrait sheet:

As far as the look and feel of the Chase flare Portrait (Cinematic Flare) sample is concerned, the color of the Zeiss flare portrait is warm, there is an obvious rainbow pattern on the sample, and the position will change with the change of the light source on the back, with high-level texture and humanistic flavor.

Other Zeiss lens bags are also good, such as Zeiss Cinematic, Zeiss Biotar, Zeiss Distagon and so on. Friends who like to shoot portraits are strongly recommended to try the vivo X90 series of phones.

Zeiss Cinematic sample in addition, the vivo X90 optimizes the motion capture ability, which can be instantly fixed in motion mode, such as snapping green leaves swaying in the breeze, and the texture and branches of the leaves are still clear after magnification.

The new Zeiss miniaturization in the vivo X90 series is also interesting, which makes it easy to achieve a "God's perspective" and miniature landscape effects.

Fourth, the system vivo X90 is also launched with OriginOS 3 system, such as "unfair scheduling", which solves the stutter problem caused by insufficient resources in the foreground in a multi-tasking environment; the in-situ resurrection mechanism can ensure that background applications can quickly return to the previous state when they start.

In this part, CTOnews.com has an in-depth experience in the article "OriginOS 3 system depth experience". Interested partners can click on the relevant article to learn about it.

The mechanism of in-situ resurrection was measured. Take Youku as a test application, play videos normally, and then open 40 App in a row. In this case, most of the mobile phone backstage has "killed" Youku. And OriginOS 3 system, open 40 App, and then switch back to Youku, at this time, Youku still retained the progress of watching movies at that time.

OriginOS 3 has made key upgrades around the "small window" function, such as calling up the application window when the application is split-screen, that is, three applications can be opened on one screen at the same time.

The horizontal window of the game is also very interesting.

For example, when you want to play mobile games in your spare time, you find that you need hot updates, such as Moba games, which have a certain waiting time after death, which is undoubtedly quite "excruciating" for players. And with the game horizontal screen window, you can completely turn the game into a "horizontal screen window", and then you can do what you have to do, and wait until the game reopens, click to enter the full screen to play.

In terms of functionality, OriginOS 3 also has an intelligent sidebar that can recommend AI capabilities according to the scene, and the industry's first screen reading 3.0 that can read information continuously.

In the end: after a period of experience, the vivo X90 brought the greatest feeling to the author, it redefined the "standard edition flagship". Although this is a standard model, even called a "small cup" in the X90 family, it shows the power of production as officially advertised by vivo-both a standard model and a ceiling.

Whether it is the excellent training of the Tianji 9200, or based on the imaging capabilities jointly developed by Zeiss, and even the screen, design and other aspects, the vivo X90 is very difficult for people to pick out the slots. I have to say that the vivo X90 will continue the glory of its predecessors and become a very competitive product in the entire high-end flagship mobile phone market in the coming period of time.

In the face of the menacing vivo X90, it is hard for me to say whether competitors panic or not, but, to a certain extent, vivo X90 raises the threshold of the definition of "standard model" phones a lot. As consumers, we must benefit.

Finally, if you have a 3K-4K budget and plan to buy a new phone, then the vivo X90 is a very worthwhile choice. Even if your budget is small, such as a maximum of 3.5K budget, then I strongly recommend that you fill in "a little bit" and go straight to X90.

Of course, there are plenty of budget, the pursuit of the ultimate image partner, and the vivo X90 Pro+.

Starting from the X30 series, the X series began to emphasize the flagship image strength of the full focus segment. Through the continuous evolution of X50, X60 and X70, the vivo X series has now become a well-deserved flagship of high-end images in the smartphone market.

Some sigh, a few years ago, when it comes to the vivo X series, the author is somewhat "reluctant", but today, the vivo X mobile phone has become one of the first products promoted by the author.

In fact, the X series, which is transformed in the course of growth, is also the epitome of vivo's high-end breakup.
