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

On October 30, vivo Y100 mobile phone was officially released.

Unlike previous Y series products, vivo held an online launch event for the launch of the Y100, which is also the first online launch of the vivo Y series.

Just a month before the launch of the Y100, the vivo Y series had sold more than 300 million phones in China-and it's easy to understand why the entry-level phone was able to enjoy a separate launch.

Described in the official language, the vivo Y100 will bring "a highly oriental aesthetic design, an exclusive image experience in gears, and a light and thin range of new records", which is known as "overall leapfrogging".

It can be said that the new Y100 is not only a milestone of the vivo Y series, but also the beginning of a new chapter in the Y series.

So how is the experience of this new phone? How is it different from the previous vivo Y series? Will it be able to achieve what officials call "overall leapfrogging"?

At present, the vivo Y100 mobile phone has come to the CTOnews.com evaluation room, with these curiosity, we enter the experience together.

First, the exterior design as a thousand yuan machine positioning product, vivo Y100 has realized the thousand yuan machine rare "3D hyperboloid glass back cover", the high-end texture is impressive.

Specifically, the front of the vivo Y100 is equipped with a curved OLED screen with a curvature of 60 °.

On the back is the flagship 3D hyperboloid glass back cover, which does not use the plastic back plate commonly used in thousands of yuan machines.

In terms of color matching, vivo Y100 provides three versions of cloud blue, glass blue and starry night black, while CTOnews.com gets two colors: cloud blue and glass blue.

Glazed blue, Liuyunqing is first of all Liuyunqing color matching, this color matching uses the fluorite AG process, frosted texture is strong, through micron lithography technology, this glass backplane also has a very strong shining look and feel, it looks shining in the light.

In terms of aesthetic design, vivo also engraves feathery high-altitude cirrus clouds in nature on the backplane, with more than 500 pieces of yarn texture extending from the camera module area to the bottom of the fuselage, like the wings of birds and with a strong flavor of Chinese ink painting.

In terms of color, Liu Yunqing as a whole also presents a gradual change from white to green, which is a very mild, neutral color with low saturation, but with high brightness and a little freshness, but some belong to the unique aesthetics of oriental colors.

CTOnews.com got another color match, glazed blue, so that the glass to achieve the "glass" texture.

According to official sources, vivo uses nano-scale enamel texture coating, giving glazed ceramics a sense of warmth and permeability, coupled with the "Milky way particle texture", finally realizing the streamer illusion, crystal clear look and feel.

These two colors, from different angles of the interpretation of oriental aesthetics, as a thousand yuan machine positioning products, but can enjoy such a "luxury" high-end technology, which was previously unthinkable.

Back on the screen, this time the Y100 is equipped with a 6.78inch 3D OLED curved screen.

In the display specification, it has 2400 × 1080 resolution, supports 120Hz adaptive variable speed high brush, 1300nit local excitation luminance, 8000LGH 1 contrast, 100% P3 film color gamut, 105% NTSC wide color gamut, and has passed SGS low blue light certification, SGS low shadow certification, SGS low frequency flash certification.

In terms of configuration, the specification of this screen is completely worthy of the positioning of the thousand-yuan machine. As far as experience is concerned, this is also a good screen rarely seen in the thousand-yuan market, no matter it is resolution, brightness, visual angle, color performance, it is difficult to find fault in this price.

In addition, the vivo Y100 is also excellent in controlling the narrow edge, with the upper and lower black edges being 1.75mm, 2.37mm, 1.52mm and 1.52mm respectively. In the state of bright screen, it basically achieves the visual "equal narrowness on four sides".

Thanks to the positive and negative surface design, vivo Y100 achieves a very thin feel, in which the thickness of Starry Night Black is only 7.49mm and its weight is only 172g, while the thickness of Liuyunqing and glazed blue is also about 7.57mm, with a weight of 183g.

The grip of the vivo Y100 is amazing, especially when you are used to the big guys who are easy to use 200g, and then using the vivo Y100 is like instantly returning to the lightness and touch of the smartphone startup.

Of course, unsurprisingly, the vivo Y100 is still a plastic frame, which does not hurt, after all, positioning and cost constraints.

Fortunately, the highlight coating of the middle frame brings a metal texture similar to that of stainless steel, and if you don't pay special attention to it, you won't be aware of the problem of the plastic frame.

The image module of the vivo Y100 uses a "sky mirror cloud window" design, with a transparent and highlighted material, with two large circular cameras inside the module and supplementary lights on the top right.

The rest of the use of a large area of white space, the proportion of white space is "just right", so this huge image module is not abrupt.

This supplementary light also integrates the texture of the ceiling crystal lamp, enriching the design and texture of the whole machine.

All in all, this design language of vivo Y100 is very rare in a large number of thousand-yuan machine products.

In fact, the author saw Y100 at first glance, the first intuitive feeling is that this is the "trumpet" S series. But after playing carefully for a while, I feel a lot of designs that are different from the S series, such as this set of colors with oriental aesthetic texture. The author even thinks that it is not too much for this set of design language to be placed on the S series with higher positioning.

There is no doubt that this is the most textured thousand-yuan machine product at present. I dare not say that vivo has realized the "popularization of high-end design", but at least the release of the Y100 series has brought a good design that makes consumers shine in front of the eyes of consumers. With this design alone, I think a lot of consumers will pay for it.

II. Image experience Note: the uploaded sample sheet is compressed.

In the image section, the vivo Y100 is equipped with a 6400 million dual camera system, including a 64 million main shot and a 2 megapixel virtual lens.

The 64 million main camera has an f / 1.79aperture, a 1x2 "sensor size, a 0.702 μ m sensor unit pixel size and, more importantly, OIS optical anti-shake, a configuration that can only be enjoyed by the Super Bowl flagship machine.

From the perspective of image specifications, this configuration of the vivo Y100 is very "pragmatic". Although there is no ultra-wide angle and there are a few traces of the 2 million virtual lens, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that at a limited and fixed cost, instead of giving you a bunch of mundane multi-shot lenses, it is better to spend all the cost on the most utilized subject.

Therefore, the vivo Y100 is basically a master camera that takes over the world, and this main photo, which has optical anti-shake, does achieve a "leapfrog" of imaging power in the same position.

This is a set of "video multiple choice questions", and vivo chose the "pragmatic" route.

In addition, it is worthy of a blue factory, after making up its mind to be the popularization of optical anti-shaking, this technology has been popularized in low, medium and high product lines with different positioning.

Let's take a look at the sample performance of the vivo Y100.

The main camera briefly summarizes the image performance of the vivo Y100, and the imaging quality of this 64 million is relatively good. Although the size of the 1GP2 "sensor is not large, it still has the blessing of optical anti-shake. In most scenes, take down the shutter and wait for a moment to take a good picture.

Optical anti-shake also brings a lot of gain to the experience, for example, in sports, night and other scenes, through lens compensation, improve the blur caused by hand shake shooting, improve sensitivity, and the safe shutter time can be longer, and so on. All in all, the high film rate of Y100 is a great bonus to the experience.

In terms of color, Y100 is also a continuation of the blue factory used to this set of "memory color", the film will be slightly higher color saturation, vivid color, very pleasing to the eye, suitable for sending moments.

In addition, although the Y100 does not give an independent 2X lens, the quality of the 2X film after digital cutting in 64 million is basically satisfactory, especially in the color pinch, the texture is very strong. The only disadvantage is that the analytical power is slightly insufficient, if the photo is enlarged, there will be a certain sense of smear on the details, which is a reasonable thing.

In addition, the vivo Y100 also continues the portrait mode of vivo. This 2 million "virtual" lens can assist the main photographer to create a better visual effect of shallow depth of field and focus on the texture of the portrait.

Vivo Y100 is equipped with 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip, which uses 6nm process, has 2*2.2GHz A78 large core and Adreno 619 GPU. Compared with Snapdragon 690, this platform has 30% GPU graphics rendering speed and 15% CPU performance improvement.

In the storage part, four versions are available: 8GB+128GB, 8GB+256GB, 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB. CTOnews.com gets the top version of 12GB+512GB.

Surprisingly, this version supports memory fusion and supports up to 12 + 12 GB of running memory, which is even higher than most flagship computers, resulting in better multitasking performance and a significant increase in the number of backend active users.

Another surprise is that the vivo Y100 is still in such a thin body, stuffed into 5000mAh's large battery, accompanied by a 44W flash charging scheme.

The battery capacity of this 5000mAh battery is still more than 80% under 1600 full charge and discharge cycles, which means that the vivo Y100 has a more durable battery life.

Charging part, CTOnews.com also carried out a simple test, measured in 26 minutes can be fully charged in 50%, fully charged in an hour or so, this performance is enough for daily use.

The ultra-long range brought by 5000mAh is another bright spot of the vivo Y100. CTOnews.com carried out a simple measurement, 100% brightness, 50% power, 60 minutes in WiFi mode "Game for Peace" total power consumption of 12%, it is estimated that this 5000mAh battery can supply Y100 for more than 8 hours of "Game for Peace" game.

The standby performance of the Y100 is even better. After testing, the standby time is three and a half days, and the power consumption is less than 30%, which means that the Y100 can be used as a backup machine every day, and it can even be recharged once a week.

We also tested the performance of Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip through an Rabbit and "Game for Peace" game.

As shown, in the running score of an Rabbit, Y100 scored 477680 points, which is, after all, an entry chip, and its performance is basically in line with our expectations for this price.

In the game test part, CTOnews.com chose "Game for Peace" to carry on the actual measurement. In the "Game for Peace" game, vivo Y100 runs almost steadily throughout the game without frequency reduction, and the author has not found any frame drop phenomenon visible to the naked eye in the game. This can also fully show that the Snapdragon 695 carried by the Y100 is enough to cope with most of the scenes in the process of using the machine, and enough to meet the daily entertainment needs of users, and games such as "Arena of Valor" and "Game for Peace" are basically not a problem.

Of course, Snapdragon 695 entry chip performance limit still exists, naturally can not be compared with a large number of flagship cores.

But the good news is that it also has the advantage of low power consumption, in addition to the impressive long battery life brought by the 5000mAh battery, the chip is also difficult to "heat up" in daily light games.

For example, in the "Game for Peace" game, the highest temperature of the fuselage is only about 40 °C, and the temperature control performance is also surprising.

In other comprehensive experiences, the Y100 is equipped with an under-screen optical fingerprint sensor (short focus) to support IP54 life dustproof and waterproof, the screen is aimed at six sides and four corners, the durability of various angles is improved, the height of fall protection is up to 1 meter, and it is also equipped with a durable anti-falling phone shell, the corners are raised and the upper and lower frames are raised to improve the reliability.

Unfortunately, the Y100 is still equipped with a rotor motor and a single loudspeaker, all of which are understandable.

However, the more practical NFC still does not support, which is a pity, after all, for many people, NFC is already a strong demand, access control, bus cards, subway and other scenarios need it everywhere, Y100 should not be missing.

Summary: answer the first few questions at the beginning of the article.

Vivo Y100 is indeed much more than the author expected for thousand-yuan machine products.

Compared with the previous Y series products, the appearance of Y100 is more outstanding, especially the front and rear glass curved surface design, so that this product has this gear "unimaginable" exquisite design. Y100 can be called a "leapfrog" work just by its appearance.

In terms of comprehensive experience, vivo Y100 can be said to have big highlights and small slots, but its shortcomings outweigh its shortcomings. Above this price, this is an excellent thousand-yuan machine product.

In many cases, we tend to pay too much attention to the parameters and performance of a product, but it is also easy to ignore that dominant factors such as appearance design are also the strong needs of a large number of users.

In many consumer choices, performance is only one of the elements, longer battery life, more memory, better-looking design, better image is often the most urgent need.

But we have also seen that in the past, thousand-yuan products are often synonymous with cheap, poor texture and low-grade, so it is very difficult to choose a thin and good-looking mobile phone within the range of thousand-yuan phones.

Therefore, the release of products such as the vivo Y100 at least gives the market a new choice, at least in the positioning shackles of the thousand-yuan machine, bringing a series of "exciting points" worthy of consumers to buy, such as light, good-looking, good-looking, long-range and so on.

With that alone, I think the vivo Y100 has been successful.
