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

Just this evening, the new vivo S16 series mobile phones were officially released. As a new generation of vivo S series products, S16 series this time focuses on adding "design" and "portrait", bringing the photochromic Yan Ruyu color matching, as well as the industry's first double-sided soft light portrait and other technologies. Through evaluation, let's learn more about this product.

First, appearance as early as last week, vivo took the lead in lifting the ban on the exterior design of vivo S16, and the main "Yan Ruyu" color matching restored the color and texture of jade, which was impressive.

The appearance, size and weight of the vivo S16 and S16 Pro phones (Yan Ruyu) are exactly the same, and there is no choice in design because of the high and low positioning, which is quite commendable.

"Yan Ruyu", just like its name, not only restores the clear and warm jade, but also gives two different temperament jade color changes with the help of "photodiscoloration".

Yan Ruyu takes blue and white jade as the background color, showing a kind of light cyan beauty, low saturation tone and looming smoke blue jade pattern, which makes this phone look quite fresh and elegant. If you don't emphasize it, if you just look at this rear shell, I believe many people will mistakenly think that it is carved from a piece of jade.

According to official sources, in order to restore the warmth of the jade, the S series set up a "up to 10" special group, which lasted for three months, formulated more than 800 color schemes, and finally created a color change like Aoyama Yuandai.

Not only that, "Yan Ruyu" also uses a new generation of photochromic technology, under the light, more than ten seconds, the back shell will change from the previous "blue and white jade" to a deep "jade", these two completely different color matching, but all show a jade should have a sense of lanolin.

This kind of design, I believe that no matter how harsh the aesthetic appearance is, it is very difficult for the party to withstand.

When the author took a sample photo of the phone after photodiscoloration, the back shell of "Yan Ruyu" quietly absorbed light and began to "change color". When the author took back the phone, I inadvertently glanced at the back shell and found that it was already another "face".

Even if the author has known about photochromism, but this magic color change, the author can not help but admire.

Those unexpected little surprises in life happen to come from these inadvertently.

The camera module is also the finishing touch for the back design of the vivo S16 Pro. In addition to the three circular lenses arranged vertically, there is a soft halo of the original color on the far right, which is not only the finishing touch on the design of the white cloud level, but also the flash of the image.

The size of the blank ratio is quite a test of the designer's aesthetic skills, and a slight deficiency will destroy the overall sense of beauty. Inside the entire camera module of the vivo S16 Pro, the combination of three circular lenses and the original color soft halo makes the overall beauty just right and looks quite coordinated.

Back on the front, the vivo S16 Pro features a 6.78in center punched OLED curved screen with 388PPI, local peak brightness 1300nit, support for 1 billion colors, 120Hz refresh rate, as well as 360Hz touch sampling rate and 1200Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate.

The vivo S16 Pro also has an excellent grip feel, which is as unforgettable as its color matching.

It is understood that the vivo S16 Pro carries the thinnest curved screen in the history of vivo, the extremely narrow middle frame of 2.3mm, the thickness of 7.36mm body, and the 60 °micro-bend design brings an extremely handy holding experience.

In terms of weight, the vivo S16 Pro is only 182g, maintaining the excellent weight control of the vivo S series as always.

In terms of detail design, the top is still familiar with the "Choker" collar design, which visually further reduces the thickness of the top.

At the bottom are familiar speakers, charging ports, SIM card slots, etc.

The vivo S16 Pro still does not use stereo dual speakers, which is an S-Series family tradition, but it reverses to the rotor motor, maybe there is not enough internal space? In short, the vibration motor should not be reversed, and it is also a rare and imperfect part of the vivo S16 Pro mobile phone.

Second, the image section in the S16 Pro only 1.75mm screen inside the black edge, vivo unexpectedly stuffed into two soft lights, around the front camera, each one, this is also the main vivo S16 series of "micro-slit fill light 2.0", can achieve 6000K color temperature of white light.

In addition, the vivo S16 Pro front also supports soft halo complementary light (screen glow).

In the front-shot specification, the vivo S16 has a front-end upgrade of 5000 megapixel JN1 and an AF autofocus motor, which supports shooting up to 4K and 60 frames.

The JN1 module should be familiar to all of you. It has a size of 1 dial 2. 76 "sensor, 0. 64 μ m sensor unit pixel size, and supports 4-in-1 pixel. This lens has also been used by many flagship mobile phones for ultra-wide-angle side-shooting. I think this sensor is very suitable for front-shooting, after all, the bottom is only 1max 2. 76" size.

The addition of AF autofocus is also quite practical, for example, when you take a selfie and pose, you can focus for the first time no matter where the camera is facing, which will greatly improve the user's photo experience.

Unlike previous mobile phones, selfies are the highlight of the S-series, so when you turn on the front camera of S16 Pro, the system will automatically switch to "portrait" mode, where you can choose different portrait styles, beauty effects, make-up styles and virtual effects to meet users' different selfie needs.

Vivo is more sincere than anyone else on the way to make you beautiful.

Let's just take a look at a sample of the front lens:

Vivo S16 Pro front, turn on the soft light as shown above, in the restaurant with complex and dim light above, the ordinary mobile phone selfie can easily cause "yin and yang face", such as the loss of dark details, such as the loss of highlights, and the strong light contrast on the face, and so on. However, the front soft light of vivo S16 Pro can bring uniform and natural facial light, and the portrait skin is really delicate, so you can take a front sample with a strong sense of atmosphere.

Manually adjust the aperture value, you can also take a good front portrait photos, such as the following picture, the vanishing between the hair and the background is more natural, at first glance even thought it was a rear camera shot.

Vivo S16 Pro front, turn on the soft light to come to another scene.

As shown in the following picture, when the indoor light is good, the front soft light is also turned on, the face is more three-dimensional, the skin is more delicate and transparent, and the eye light in the shooting is more eye-catching.

Vivo S16 Pro front, turn on the soft light, and then take a look at the rear image performance.

The first choice is the specification, the vivo S16 Pro main shot is 50 million IMX766V, and the whole system is equipped with optical anti-shake, the other two are 8 million ultra-wide angle and 2 million tactical macro. Support real-time black light night vision, you can preview the real effect before pressing the shutter, support super night view 5.0, super moon mode and so on.

Vivo S16 Pro has an original color soft halo behind, which will focus on the person all the time like the soft light of a professional studio in portrait mode shooting.

Some people may ask, don't all mobile phones have flashing lights? What is so powerful about this original color soft halo? In fact, when shooting with traditional flash, it often leads to glossy skin, and it is easy to have white balance problems. The original color soft halo of vivo S16 Pro is somewhat similar to the round soft light that beauty bloggers turn on wherever they go, replenishing light on their faces anytime and anywhere, making their skin always fair and transparent, making the skin more real and more vivid.

Vivo S16 Pro rear, turn on the soft light, and finally take a look at the vivo S16 Pro rear sample:

After all, it is IMX766V, which can still be called the flagship CMOS today, not to mention the blessing of vivo's flagship image algorithm and optical anti-shake ability, the day and night performance of vivo S16 Pro has basically reached the flagship level, and the color is still memory color style, slightly colder and colourful.

Although there is no independent 2X lens, the main 2X digital zoom is no worse than the independent 2X lens of the same position mobile phone.

As for the ultra-wide-angle performance, it can only be said to be "not satisfactory", as long as you do not zoom in and do not stare at the details, there will be no problem.

In addition, in the shooting mode, vivo S16 Pro also provides "natural color" mode, which is somewhat similar to the flagship "Zeiss natural color" of vivo X series images, and the former prefers true color restoration to vivo's memory color. However, CTOnews.com got the vivo S16 Pro, its "natural color" mode obviously has further optimization space, after opening the sample is too light, but lost the original color of the object, a bit "go too far" meaning, I hope vivo can optimize it.

Default, open natural color 3, performance part 3, this time vivo S16 Pro carries Tianji 8200, Tianji 8200 can be said to be the new generation of gods U, after all, in the just passed away fire dragon era, Tianji 8000 series is the frozen god.

Tianji 8200 is manufactured by TSMC 4nm. The eight-core CPU architecture consists of a 3.1GHz Cortex-A78 core, three 3.0GHz Cortex-A78 cores and four 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 energy efficiency cores. At the same time, the Tianji 8200 supports UFS3.1 flash memory and four-channel LPDDR5 memory.

In other configurations, 12GB RAM+256GB ROM and 12GB RAM+512GB ROM storage specifications are provided (both are UFS3.1+LPDDR5), and CTOnews.com gets the top version. In addition, the vivo S16 Pro also supports NFC, with 66W flash charge, 4600mAh battery (single cell).

CTOnews.com also tested the performance of vivo S16 Pro with running points and games.

As shown in the figure above, vivo S16 Pro scored 868000 + in the running score of an Rabbit.

In the GeekBench 5 test, the score of vivo S16 Pro was 992in single core and 3639 in multi-core.

In the Androbench test, the read and write speed reached the ceiling performance of UFS3.1.

Overall, the running performance of the vivo S16 Pro is in line with expectations, but the performance tuning of the S16 Pro is slightly conservative compared to the other Tianji 8200 machine in Lanchang.

This can also be proved by the actual measurement of the game "original God".

In the "original God" game, CTOnews.com chose the same picture quality standard as the flagship machine: high-end picture quality + 60 frames, dynamic blur off, and the game scene chose to fight monsters in the wild.

In the "original God" game, the average frame rate of vivo S16 Pro is 57.5, and the frame stabilization index is 2.8. the frame stabilization index refers to the smoothness of the game. The smaller the value, the more stable the game. According to the official data given by Perfdog, the general game and video recommendations are less than 8.

Vivo S16 Pro "original God" average frame rate performance but can also be seen from the above frame rate chart, in the late 10 minutes of the game, as the body temperature increases, the frame rate begins to drop to about 55fps. After all, the body of the vivo S16 Pro is lighter and thinner, and it is inevitable that the performance release is a little conservative.

Of course, we still have to say that the frame rate performance of the original god of the vivo S16 Pro is basically no less than that of the flagship computers on the market, so the performance limit of the Tianji 8200 is very high. If the flagship can play, the Tianji 8200 can play without gnashing its teeth.

The vivo S16 Pro carries Tianji 8200, another advantage is that it has lower power consumption than the flagship at a frame rate close to that of the flagship. As shown in the following figure, the average power consumption of the vivo S16 Pro is 5.255W, which is lower than that of the Snapdragon 8 series flagship.

Vivo S16 Pro "Yuan Shen" power performance and in terms of temperature, vivo S16 Pro performance is also quite surprising, at about 24 °C room temperature, the measured temperature is just over 41 °C.

Let's take a look at the frame rate performance of Arena of Valor.

Vivo S16 Pro supports "Arena of Valor" 120 frames, so we turn on the highest frame rate for testing.

The average frame rate of vivo S16 Pro "Arena of Valor" is measured. The average frame rate of one inning (12 minutes) of vivo S16 Pro is 118.5, and the stable frame index is only 0.6. As shown in the image above, the game is always maintained at about 120 frames, and frame rate fluctuations are almost negligible.

The power consumption is even lower, only 3.8W, which is, after all, the "Arena of Valor" of 120 frames.

Vivo S16 Pro "Arena of Valor" Power performance IV. Summary A brief evaluation of this generation of vivo S16 series from the three dimensions of design, image and performance.

The first is the design. The "Yan Ruyu" color matching of vivo S16 Pro can be said to be a breakthrough innovation in vivo CMF design, such as jade beauty, and photochromic technology, making this phone full of temperament so that people can't refuse to see it. Of course, it would be more flexible if you could replace the middle frame with metal, but it would also bring a heavier weight, and the vivo S16 Pro now weighs just 182g. So between weight and material, it can only be counted as a multiple choice question.

Configuration, Tianji 8200 performance is really gratifying, the same Tianji training to see the blue factory this sentence is also true, are you worried about the performance of vivo S16 Pro? That won't be necessary. The only disadvantage is that the rotor motor, which loses its texture, does lose points in experience.

In the image part, selfie is the foundation of vivo S series, each generation of S series is trying to make users look better. This time, the vivo S16 series fully covers the front and rear of the portrait, realizing the "soft portrait of the whole scene", which makes you look good both before and after shooting.

From "illuminating your beauty" to "illuminating my beauty" to "illuminating you and me", this change is in fact the precipitation of vivo's exploration in the field of light and shadow portraits.

If you like to take selfies and are keen on selfies, then vivo S16 Pro is obviously the more suitable choice for you right now.
