After the X series and the Xplay series, vivo finally launched the last member of the three series, Xshot, and the main thin and light shapes of the X series Xplay The main features are extreme audio and video. Xshot is a mobile phone featuring photography. Among the many mobile phones that focus on taking photos, what unique skill does Xshot have to make it stand out? Let's go to the press conference.
Profile
The front of Xshot and X3 Xplay3S The overall style is very similar, with more difference in the width of the upper and lower borders. This design style can almost be recognized as a vivo product ▼
It is complex near the earpiece. In addition to the common front camera, signal lamp and sensor, the Xshot also adds the front full spectrum led fill light, which enables users to take a good self shot ▼ in dark light conditions
Close up of front fill light ▼
The signal light is small, on the left side of the front camera ▼
I believe you are familiar with the following three touch keys: Menu, Home and Return ▼
The screen adopts a narrow border design, and the 5.2 inch screen is also relatively moderate, with a good grip ▼
The back adopts a curved design, which is simple ▼
The rear camera adopts IMX214 sensor and dual color temperature led fill light, and the camera lens adopts 6P lens and OIS optical anti shake ▼
Because the lens is full of materials, it is difficult to control the thickness. The body thickness is only 7.99mm, so the camera has obvious protrusions ▼
The lower part is a loudspeaker, which is similar in shape to the Xplay3S. The words TD-LTE are marked on the top of the loudspeaker. Xshot supports mobile 4G network ▼
Xshot adopts the design of metal middle frame, and the metal surface is frosted, which is different from the white paint on the Xplay3S middle frame. The shape of the middle frame can almost be seen as a miniature version of the Xplay3S. Noise reducing microphone and 3.5mm headphone connector ▼ are provided on the top
There is a microUSB interface and a call microphone at the bottom. In order to give consideration to both sides of the signal receiving USB interface, a division ▼ is made
The right side of the fuselage is the volume key and the switch key ▼
At the same time, an entity photo key is added to the Xshot, which also supports the half press focusing function ▼
Double card slot ▼ is on the left side of the fuselage
A close-up of the card slot. The surface looks no different from the general card slot ▼
However, after ejecting the card slot, we found the special feature of this card slot. It takes into account the functions of the nano SIM card and the microSD card. Of course, this has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that the space of the fuselage is saved, and the lack of a card slot also makes the fuselage design more beautiful; The disadvantage is that when you need to insert or remove the tf card, you need to remove the SIM card at the same time. In addition, Xshot is also the first mobile phone in vivo's HiFi series that supports tf card expansion ▼
Xshot adopts a 5.2 inch 1080P screen, which has excellent color performance and visual angle. Compared with Xplay and Xplay3S, the color performance has been improved to a certain extent ▼
Next is the popular "comparison" link. The following figure is X3S, Xshot and Xplay3S, respectively. It can be seen that the front design styles of the three are very similar, but the height of the upper and lower borders is quite different. The proportion of the Xplay3S screen is also significantly larger than the other two ▼
Compared with HTC m8, Xshot and Galaxy S5, the three screens are respectively 5-inch, 5.2 inch and 5.1 inch ▼
system
Xshot adopts a new Funtouch OS 1.2 system, with several functional improvements, but the appearance of the initiator is not different from previous versions ▼
The lock screen interface still supports GIF avatar editing ▼
There is still the design of pull-up bar, which includes brightness adjustment, multi task management and shortcut switch ▼
The drop-down bar only displays time and notification ▼
The setting interface is similar to that of Xplay3S, but unfortunately, Xshot does not support NFC, so the corresponding option ▼ cannot be found
Xshot adopts a system based on Android 4.3. The one we tested is the flagship version, which uses Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC 2.5GHz quad core processor ▼
Dial interface, support T9, home display and other functions ▼
Edit SMS ▼
The built-in file manager of the system can display the ROM capacity of the machine body, the capacity of the external SD card, etc. The flagship version has 32G ROM, and users can use it around 23G ▼
Read the contents of the external SD card ▼
The flagship Xshot has 3G Ram, and 2.12G is available when it is turned on. It performs well
The main function of Xshot is to take photos. Limited by the on-site environment of the press conference, we can only simply test it here:
The photographing interface is almost the same as that of Xplay3S ▼
After opening the photographing mode, I saw many new functions, such as movement, automatic scene, document correction, background virtualization, and children's mode. These are new functions added to Xshot ▼
Funny camera function is added in the settings, which can shoot slow and fast shots, greatly increasing the fun of taking photos ▼
Still support voice control beauty function ▼
The following is the shooting sample of the rear camera. Due to the limitations of the on-site environment, we can only simply try the shooting effect. The most significant improvement of the Xshot compared with the Xplay3S is that the sharpness is much higher, and the color performance is also good (click to view the original image) ▼
Performance of dark environment (click to view the original picture) ▼
In addition, we also tried the function of "background virtualization", but it seems that the effect is not obvious (click to view the original picture) ▼
You can compare the sample of normal mode (click to view the original picture):
Xshot has a variety of additional camera functions, one of which is "quick blind shooting". As long as you double click or long press the shutter key in the lock screen state, you can quickly take five photos, which should be very useful for children's shoes who like to take photos secretly
In addition, Xshot's own image library has many icon editing functions. With it, you can almost ignore applications such as Meitu Xiuxiu (especially thanks to the friendship of Mai Mai) ▼
performance
The flagship Xshot adopts MSM8974AC processor, four core Krait 400 core, 28nm process ▼
Adreno 330 with a frequency of 578MHz is equipped. Since the system version does not reach Android 4.4, the GPU driver is not the latest version, but V53 ▼
The Xshot tested in the press conference It is 9 (it seems that the author's character is not very good recently, and he often has low physique...) ▼
The total score of Antu rabbit in the example test exceeded 37000, and the performance was good ▼
The 3D drawing test exceeded 10000 points and performed well ▼
Xshot adopts the customized audio chip combination of CS4398+MAX97220+TLV320ADC, inheriting the characteristics of vivo in HiFi of mobile phones. We also conducted simple auditions on the spot. Maybe due to the engineering machine, the sound debugging of Xshot is not too mature, and there are problems such as poor low frequency control and large low noise deviation. Of course, we also believe in Vivo's strength. It should not be a big problem to solve these problems in the next few weeks ▼
There are still many features of Xshot that have not been introduced to you. After all, the on-site evaluation time and conditions are limited. Please look forward to our more detailed evaluation at the end of the month.
