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

Half a year later, the vivo S series was updated again-on the afternoon of May 31, the new vivo S17 series phones, including the S17, S17t and S17 Pro models, were officially launched.

In fact, before the product release, vivo officially lifted the ban on the appearance of the S17 series, this time bringing the main "mountain and sea green" color matching. It is reported that the vivo team is inspired by the fashionable fluid vision and pursues the freehand charm of creating three-dimensional landscapes on micron diaphragms.

In the basic portrait shooting field of the S-series, the vivo S17 series also brings the S-series's first long-lens portrait lens + full-range OIS optical anti-shake, with a newly designed soft halo of wisdom to achieve a portrait shooting experience comparable to that of the flagship.

In this article, CTOnews.com will bring the picture and text evaluation of vivo S17 Pro, which focuses on the design, portrait, performance and other aspects that you are most concerned about.

The first part: six months ago, vivo S16 series brought "Yan Ruyu" color matching, which accurately restored the color and texture of jade, which is impressive. In a short period of half a year, the CMF design of the vivo S series ushered in another upgrade-on the vivo S17 series, the vivo industry pioneered the particle ink process, showing us unique oriental elements, derived mountain and sea green color matching, bringing smart and light visual effects.

According to official sources, this innovative technology, which stems from vivo's pre-research project in 2020, vivo has set up a team of more than 30 experts to lead research and development for a year, the first to achieve large-scale commercial use of particle ink in the mobile phone industry.

Vivo through the particle ink process non-linear layout of 15 million magnetic particles and natural position carving, so that magnetic particles from the point into a line and then by the line into the painting, everything is natural. On vivo S17, we can feel the cascading dynamic changes brought about by mountains and sea clouds, which are elegant, fresh and fashionable with a bit of oriental aesthetic charm.

In addition to the mountain and sea green color matching, the ice jade white color matching brought by vivo S17 Pro is also a classic. Vivo's white training has always been a leader in the industry, such as S7 moonlight white, S10 series velvet white, and even X70 monologue, X90 confession and other products, can be said to be the most classic white mobile phone.

This time, the ice jade white color matching of vivo S17 Pro once again deduces the "pure beauty". The pure white body is paired with a bright silver frame, showing a snow-white, quiet and smart color aesthetics.

In terms of detail design, the image module of vivo S17 Pro is upgraded to "water mirror cloud window", which has a larger area, and the area of the two cameras is also larger, with a soft halo under the camera and the same area as the camera.

Back on the front, the vivo S17 Pro is equipped with a 6.78-inch 1.5K ultra-retinal eye screen, which vivo officials claim to be the best screen yet for the vivo S series.

Specifically, this screen uses a new "diamond-like" pixel arrangement, with 2800x1260 resolution, PPI up to 452.It also supports 10bit color depth, 100%P3 color gamut, 120 Hz refresh rate, contrast of 80000000 Hz, and local peak brightness of 1300nits.

At the eye protection level, vivo officials also said that this is by far the most eye-protecting screen in the vivo S series, including hardware-grade low blue light, front and rear double light sensing, 2160Hz high-frequency dimming, multiple software eye protection, and so on.

In terms of weight, the vivo S17 Pro is only 188g, maintaining the excellent weight control of the vivo S series as always, and holding it with one hand is not a problem.

There is no denying that the vivo S17 Pro is indeed a rare high-looking and frivolous mobile phone, whether it is color aesthetics or ID design, and even some careful considerations on the details, it is very difficult not to attract people. For the beauty party, such a design is simply a "kill".

However, boast to boast, there are slots to complain about, unsurprisingly, the vivo S17 Pro still does not use stereo dual speakers, boy, this has almost become a family tradition of the S-Series. Of course, the author's demand for Shuangyang is not particularly urgent, so it can be ignored. However, the rotor motor is really wrong. Today, in the middle of 2023, the buzzing rotor motor is indeed very cheap, and it is inappropriate to be on such a beautiful vivo S17 Pro. It is like a beautiful beauty, but one mouth smells like corn chips, you know what I mean!

The second part: image experience image upgrade is the top priority of vivo S17 Pro. This part can be divided into two parts: the front part and the back part.

First of all, there is the proactive part.

Still familiar with the JN1 5000 superlight touching portrait lens, the JN1 module should be familiar with. It has a 1amp 2.76 "sensor size, 0.64 μ m sensor unit pixel size, and supports 4-in-1 pixels. This lens has also been used by many flagship phones for ultra-wide-angle sub-photography.

Thanks to the ultra-wide-angle, high-pixel advantages of this 5000 million superlight moving portrait lens, the vivo S17 Pro supports 0.8X-1X-2X free zoom, which can achieve ultra-wide-angle, 1x and 2x close-ups in a single lens, which cleverly avoids the problem of "rabbit tooth bangs" caused by stuffing multiple cameras in front, which is too unpleasant after all.

This front lens also supports AF autofocus. When you pose for a selfie, you can focus for the first time no matter where the lens is facing, which will greatly improve the user's photo experience.

Vivo S17 Pro also increased the front aperture from f / 2.45 to f / 2.0, increasing the amount of light input by 50%. Sufficient light input brings a comprehensive upgrade of the image quality, and the portrait is clearer and brighter in dark light.

Secondly, the vivo S17 Pro still uses the front soft light design, and the supplementary light angle is raised to 90 °, the color temperature of the soft light lamp is optimized, the color rendering index is improved, and the skin tone is more natural.

Selfie is the highlight of the S-series, so when you turn on the front camera of the vivo S17 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.

You can also click the flash button in the upper left corner of the screen to select the soft light always on or automatically, or "screen soft light" (screen light).

Let's just take a look at the front portrait selfie.

As shown in the above picture, there are 1x and 2X front portraits from left to right, respectively. You can see that in two different zoom ranges, the portrait performance can be noted, such as the natural virtual effect between the hair and the background, or, for example, the beauty of the skin while retaining the detailed features, the face is also more three-dimensional, the skin is delicate and transparent, even under 2X, the quality of the picture is not significantly shrunk.

In the front portrait shooting, the vivo S17 Pro also provides two modules: filter and style, with a large number of filters built in. For example, "silent film", black and white is divided into the atmosphere directly full, retro ruffian handsome.

The front portrait-style-silent filter, such as the vivo S17 Pro, also adds a "cosmic flicker style" to brighten the face with a front soft light and match a cool transparent glasses to simulate pulse interference, a bit of cyber punk.

The front portrait-style-cosmic scintillation rear aspect, the main photo is the familiar IMX766,1/1.56 inch, the aperture is f / 1.88, support OIS optical anti-shake. The ultra-wide angle is still 8 million pixels, f / 1.98.

Next to the point: the vivo S17 Pro added an extra 12 million 2X telephoto portrait lens, the IMX663. This shot has already appeared in a number of vivo flagship phones, and this is the same portrait lens in the X90 series.

Let's take a look at the soft halo upgrade of the vivo S17 Pro, starting with an increase in the diameter of the outer ring to 15.6mm. In the S17 image appreciation shared by CTOnews.com, many readers regard this enlarged soft halo as a fingerprint identification module, but this is not the case.

The vivo S17 series is still screen fingerprint recognition. For straight men, round soft lights may not be a big thing, but for makeup bloggers who like selfies, live broadcasts or Vlog shots, this huge soft halo is so important that it doesn't even need those professional and huge soft light devices. Vivo S17 Pro can also replenish the face anytime, anywhere, making the skin white, transparent, and more real and vivid.

The soft ring of the vivo S17 Pro distributes light uniformly at 360 °. The super-large ring makes the light more stereoscopic and reduces shadows. Second, vivo S17 Pro has further upgraded its brightness, resulting in a 36% increase in brightness. Vivo officials compare it to the bright spring light of March, while the soft halo of the previous S16 is the lazy sunshine of December.

This soft halo also supports intelligent cold and warm color temperature adjustment, intelligent matching color temperature, while supporting manual control of supplementary light color temperature, as long as gently move the color temperature slider to achieve stepless adjustment.

In order to ensure the color accuracy of the portrait, vivo S17 Pro also launched a super-sensing spectral sensor in the vivo phone to ensure that the color is accurately restored.

With so many upgrades, what is the shooting effect of the vivo S17 Pro? Let's take a look at the sample sheet.

2X portrait

2X portrait

2x portrait the author has "blown" the 2X portrait of vivo in many reviews, not only for shooting portraits, but even for most of the time. In fact, friends who have used the vivo X series all know the charm of this 2X portrait lens.

This time, vivo devolved it to the S-series, with the portrait algorithm, the vivo S17 Pro has the ability to shoot portraits comparable to the X-series.

As shown in the above three groups of portraits, the 2X portrait is opened within a shooting distance of 0.5-2 meters, which is very suitable for bust close-ups. The portrait is reflected incisively and vividly in detail, and the shallow depth of field brings a very natural virtual effect. I dare not say that the effect is comparable to that of a SLR, but the texture of the portrait at first glance is really "one more look and it will explode."

Of course, this effect on the X series is not surprising, but after all, this is the S series, this kind of portrait shooting ability, when it comes to the S series, you can only say that it is too late to meet each other.

In addition to shooting people, this 2X lens is also very suitable for random shooting, convenient composition and no need to cut.

2X shooting

The main performance of 2X shooting of vivo S17 Pro is still the flagship level, although 766 is very common, but today, coupled with the flagship imaging algorithm, it is still very good. As for color, it is still vivo memory color style, slightly colder and gorgeous, looks more "gorgeous".

Of course, if you don't like this color style, vivo S17 Pro also offers "Natural Color" mode, which is similar to Zeiss Natural Color, the flagship of vivo X series images, and tends to restore true color.

In addition, vivo S17 Pro rear new upgrade X90 high-speed capture technology-zero delay suspension capture, such as the honeybee in the following picture, is the suspension snapshot, zoom in, the details in the stamens, the spots of the bees are clearly visible.

Sports capture of this 8 million ultra-wide angle performance is in order, but as long as you do not zoom in, do not stare at the details, there is no problem.

Ultra-wide-angle photography benefits from this soft halo, and the S17 series also brings a new "soft film style", which presents a real flash texture through the front and rear supplementary lights, with this style, users who pursue vintage cameras do not have to spend a lot of money on an obsolete CCD camera, just use the S17 Pro.

2X Portrait shooting-style-soft Light Film part 3: performance Test Core configuration, vivo S17 Pro still carries the same S16 Pro Tianji 8200, up to 12 (+ 8) GB+512GB super large storage, UFS3.1+LPDDR5. Support NFC, and upgrade 80W fast charge, battery is 4600mAh.

Tianji 8200 has a good reputation. It uses TSMC's 4nm process. 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.

CTOnews.com also tested the performance of vivo S17 Pro with running points and games.

As shown in the figure above, vivo S17 Pro has a score of 940000 + in the running score of an rabbit, while in the GeekBench 5 test, vivo S17 Pro has a score of 1003 in single core and 3909 in multi-core.

Considering the Anhare version upgrade (V10), Tianji 8200 has been improved by nearly 100,000 on S17 Pro. However, the score of the vivo S17 Pro is about 50,000 higher than the Tianji 8200 model just released by its competitors.

In the Androbench test, the read and write speed of S17 Pro also reached the top performance of UFS3.1.

Overall, the running performance of vivo S17 Pro is in line with expectations, which belongs to the normal performance of Tianji 8200.

Next, we put it in place in one step and measure the "original god" of the highest picture quality.

In the "original God" test, the picture quality specification is pulled to the highest, the picture is selected, and the dynamic blur is turned off.

The final result shows that the average frame rate of vivo S17 Pro is 58.04.

As shown in the following figure, vivo S17 Pro has occasional frame rate fluctuations in the game, but the overall performance is good, without too obvious and long-term stutter and frame drop.

Vivo S17 Pro "original God" average frame rate performance for a main image, light and thin mobile phone, the performance release is a little conservative is also inevitable. But again, the performance limit of Tianji 8200 is still very high. After all, "original God" is the ceiling of mobile game performance, and the "original God" performance of vivo S17 Pro is in line with expectations.

And for mobile games such as "Arena of Valor" and "Game for Peace", which do not require high configuration requirements, Tianji 8200 is also under no pressure.

In terms of temperature, the performance of the vivo S17 Pro is also within expectations, with a measured temperature of about 43 °C.

This temperature control performance is in order! After all, it is such a light and thin fuselage, and so are similar products from competitors next door. Long live understanding.

Conclusion: vivo S17 Pro is still a very blue factory, very vivo product. In the frivolous design, process innovation and portrait shooting, vivo S17 Pro once again brought a full surprise, the new Shanhai green color matching brought a three-dimensional landscape charm, so that people can not refuse to see.

At the same time, the soft lights glowing back and forth, as well as the independent 2X lens at the bottom of the X series, make the vivo S17 Pro more beautiful in any light environment, and which beautiful woman who loves selfie doesn't like such a good-looking phone?

Of course, such as Shan Yang and rotor motor, which we complained about before, are retained in the vivo S17 Pro, and the knife skills of its vivo team need not be so "accurate", right?

All in all, as long as you don't care about the above two questions and love selfies and portraits, then don't hesitate, vivo S17 Pro is your good-looking and powerful style.
