On November 30, 2015, vivo launched the 2015 flagship model vivo X6 and X6 Plus at the Beijing Water Cube, focusing on the "happy" experience, with the "happy enough to be happy" as the core selling point. Today, we bring you the latest vivo X6 mobile phone, which is the first all metal all-in-one mobile phone in the X series. It is equipped with 4GB super large storage, the industry's fastest 360 degree fast press fingerprint recognition with 0.4 seconds of screen off unlocking and 0.2 seconds of screen on unlocking. It is equipped with PDAF phase focusing, the industry's fastest focusing time of 0.1, and the dual engine flash developed by vivo, Bring you a full range of pleasant feelings. Of course, the above information is official data. What's the real performance and experience of this mobile phone? Let's take you to have a detailed understanding.

[Unpacking]

The vivo X6 uses a white paper box. If you have seen the vivo X5, you will feel very familiar with it. There is only a silver "X6" sign in the middle of the front of the box, and the silver "VIVO" sign on the side. The overall design is simple and generous.

There is a label on the bottom right of the packaging box, which contains basic information about the model, color, manufacturer, etc. of the vivo X6 mobile phone.

After opening the box cover, we can see the vivo X6 mobile phone. After taking out the upper mobile phone, some mobile phone accessories and instructions are neatly placed below.

The vivo X6 mobile phone is equipped with a 5V2A/9V2A charging plug. Through the dual engine flash charging technology independently developed by vivo, the charging speed can be doubled to that of ordinary mobile phone chargers.

I have to say that Vivo is still very sincere. Basically, after unpacking, we can use it directly without having to buy any mobile phone accessories. The accessories that come with the phone include the phone case, the phone film, the charging plug, the USB cable and the HiFi headset. Compared with most phones only equipped with the charging plug and USB cable, the vivo X6 phone is much more considerate.

[Appearance appreciation]

The front of the vivo X6 mobile phone is equipped with a 5.2 inch 1080p Super AMOLED magic color display. The surface is covered with a 2.5D glass. The touch of the screen edge is more comfortable.

The body size of vivo X6 is 147.9mm * 73.75mm * 6.56mm. Combined with the streamline arc metal body, it is easy for boys to hold it with one hand, even for girls with small hands.

At the top of the front of the vivo X6 phone, from left to right, are the vivo brand logo, front camera, earpiece and sensor. There is also a hidden breathing lamp at the top right, which will light up when charging or when there is a message reminder.

At the bottom of the front screen of the phone are three virtual keys, which are menu key, HOME key and return key from left to right. Long press the function key to call vivo, and long press the HOME key to enter the recent task management interface. These three virtual buttons are still not equipped with backlight, and only have reflective coating on the surface, which is somewhat inconvenient to operate at night.

On the top of the phone, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, which works better with the giveaway vivo XE600i headset. There is a Micro USB socket in the middle of the bottom of the phone. There are two screws on both sides of the socket. The speaker and microphone of the phone are designed asymmetrically, which may be a little uncomfortable for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The vivo X6 mobile phone adopts the aluminum magnesium alloy integrated molding design, with the body metal accounting for up to 98.3%. The surface of the metal back cover is sprayed with zirconium sand, which is delicate, moist and comfortable. The back cover of the mobile phone adopts a three-stage design, with two white signal bands at the top and bottom. The 1.5mm nano injection molding process is adopted, which does not cut off the metal, does not affect the integrated molding, and has almost no feeling when touching the seams with your hand.

On the top left of the back of the phone is the 1300W pixel rear camera of the phone. With the addition of the PDAF phase focusing and auto focusing technology, the focus is as fast as 0.1 seconds. The rear camera is higher than the back cover, and has not been flattened. This is still a little insufficient. However, there is another ring of metal around the camera, which can play a protective role. There is only one LED flash on the right side of the camera, and the dual color temperature flash is not used. The light filling effect is worse than the dual color temperature flash.

There is a SIM slot above the left border of the phone. The phone supports dual SIM and dual standby. Only Micro SIM can be placed in the SIM1 slot, and Nano SIM or Micro SD card can be placed in the SIM2 slot. The maximum support is 128GB Micro SD card. In this way, for mobile phone users who only use a single card, the other card slot will not be idle. This design is more user-friendly.

On the right side of the phone frame are the volume key and power key. The volume plus and minus keys are in an integrated design. Below the volume key is a power key. The keys are made of metal and the edges are polished.

[Funtouch OS Experience]

The vivo X6 mobile phone uses the FontouchOS 2.5 system designed based on Android 5.1. The core concept of the system is simplicity, fun, and intelligence. The secondary menu is canceled, and all program icons are placed on the main interface, which is very similar to Apple IOS.

Entering the main page of the system will give us a simple and fresh feeling. The system icon adopts the current popular flattening route, and has a uniform size rounded rectangle design. The color is also very rich. The third-party application icon has also added a rounded rectangle border according to the system theme style. The system's lock screen interface can carry out custom welcome messages Icon and nickname operations.

The dial interface of the vivo X6 mobile phone is very simple. There is no integration of the yellow page function, which is now more practical. The call interface also has a "memo" option, which makes it easy to record some information during a call. The SMS interface is also simple. If you can add the SMS automatic classification function, it should be more convenient to use.

In the main interface of the system, slide down from the top of the screen to enter the system notification interface, slide down in the blank area of the screen to enter the "Global Search" interface, and slide up from the bottom of the screen to enter the comprehensive interface of the shortcut toolbar and recent tasks, where you can perform "one click acceleration" or separate application locking and cleaning operations.

The system comes with some commonly used small tools, such as calculator, recorder, radio and compass, which are convenient for daily use.

The system has its own music player and video player. The music player supports local and online music playback operations. Online music resources come from Xiami music. The video player can only play local videos, and does not support online video viewing. If you want to watch online, you can only use third-party video applications. The system has built-in Tencent video and iQIYI video applications.

The system has built-in i-themes, app stores and game centers, from which we can directly change themes, download apps and download games, avoiding the trouble of looking everywhere. In addition, most of the themes, wallpapers and other resources in the theme store are free, but the themes in the theme store do not support mashup operations, and you may be disappointed with the little partners who like their DIY.

The system also comes with the "i butler" function, where we can perform 9 functions, including mobile phone physical examination, mobile phone cleaning, traffic monitoring, software management, power saving management, harassment interception, virus detection, privacy space and mobile phone retrieval. It is relatively comprehensive, and basically does not need to download a third-party mobile phone management application to use it.

The setting interface of the system is designed concisely. The icons of options use simple line graphics. Different types of setting options are distinguished by different colors, and the middle is divided by blank partitions.

[Features]

Fingerprint Identification

A fingerprint recognition function has been added to the vivo X6 mobile phone, and the "eye print recognition" function, which is not practical in vivo X5 Pro, has been canceled. The vivo X6 mobile phone uses touch 360 ° fingerprint identification. The area of the fingerprint key precisely fits the size of your finger, giving you a perfect experience. The fingerprint unlocking is as fast as 0.4 seconds when the screen is turned off, and 0.2 seconds when the screen is turned on. Through actual tests, the response speed of the fingerprint unlocking is really fast, which is still very positive.

The method of adding fingerprints is very simple. Enter the "Settings" interface of the system, and then select the "Fingerprint and Password" option. After entering, you can start to add fingerprints. However, you need to set the lock screen graphics before you can add fingerprints.

In addition to fingerprint unlocking, the fingerprint identification of vivo X6 also supports fingerprint payment, APP fingerprint security lock and fingerprint self taking, and its response speed is as fast as that of unlocking. Especially when fingerprint payment is made, it is better to pay for fingerprint after you have seen it, because payment is basically confirmed once you touch it.

『Smart wake』

Smart wake2.0 is also a feature of Funtouch OS, which can give you a new touch experience. You can customize the rest screen gesture and associate it with a function. When you rest the screen, you can quickly enter the program by drawing a specific gesture on the screen. Take communication to a new level with ease. The system presets eight gestures for us in the "Smart wake" option, and simply experiences the gesture "Draw e to wake up the browser". The recognition is still very good. The mobile phone draws a white arc when the screen is off, which is very scientific and cool. However, it should also be noted that if you want to use this cool function, you must turn off "fingerprint unlocking", otherwise you will be stuck in the unlocking interface after the screen is lit.

In addition to the gestures preset for us by the system, you can add customized gestures through the "Custom Gestures" below. You can set the two functions of "make a quick call" or "open an application". After selecting, you can enter the gesture to complete the "custom gesture" function.

『 Split screen multitask 』

The "split screen multitasking" function is also a feature of Funtouch OS. It supports floating icon display in the full screen playback interface of mainstream video applications, and some card games and e-books support floating icon display in the full screen interface.

When we watch the video in full screen mode, we can directly call out the QQ or WeChat interface without exiting the currently watched video after receiving a QQ message or WeChat message. The system will automatically divide the current interface into left and right screens. The left will continue to play the video, and the right will start to chat. This function is very convenient and practical. However, you need to pay attention when using this function. If you have set a "software lock", you need to unlock when you first enter the QQ or WeChat interface, and then you can call out the split screen function normally when there is a message reminder again.

『 Air separation operation 』

In the "Space Operation" option of the setting interface, after turning on the "Rest Screen View" and "Space Unlock" functions, we can view the time and date through gesture operation in the phone's rest screen state. This function is still very interesting. After the screen is lit, you can also use gestures to unlock in the air, but this is only possible when the phone does not set a lock screen password. Because the vivo X6 has fingerprint recognition, this function is not very useful, and can only be used occasionally for cool purposes.

"Smart Sense"

In addition to the intelligent gesture operations described above, we can also realize the functions of intelligent lighting and blanking screen, intelligent calling, tilting mobile phone zoom pictures and intelligent reminders. Because the working principles are basically the same, and there are detailed graphic displays, we will not introduce them in detail here. Interested partners can study them by themselves, Some of them, such as intelligent keeping the screen on, double clicking the screen on and double clicking the screen off, are convenient and practical small functions.

[Super screenshot]

"Super screenshots" is a feature of Funtouch OS, which has changed our single mode screenshots mode for a long time and made mobile phone screenshots more interesting. Swipe up the bottom of the main interface to call up the shortcut toolbar, and then select the "Super Screenshot" option. A multi-function option of "Super Screenshot" will appear on the system interface, and you can select the screenshot method as needed. Personally, you prefer one of them " Screen recording "function. If you want to record sound at the same time when recording, you need to enter the" Super Screenshot "option in the" Settings "interface and turn on" Record Sound ".

In addition to the "screen recording" function just mentioned, we can also take long screenshots, interesting screenshots and rectangular screenshots here. Of course, if you don't need these special screenshots above, you can also take ordinary screenshots. You can use the "power key"+"HOME key" to take quick screenshots.

[In depth experience]

"Performance score"

Although the era of competing for running points has passed, although it is not necessarily good to say that running points are high, running points can still reflect the performance of a mobile phone to a certain extent. The following two popular running points software, Anthare and Master Lu, were selected to test the vivo X6 mobile phone. Anthare scored 50171 points and Master Lu scored 51232 points, From the point of view of the score, it belongs to the middle level. There is still a gap between it and most flagship models at present, but it is enough for daily use.

『 Graphic processing test 』

Now that we have run a score test on mobile phones, let's continue to test the performance of mobile phones through some professional test software. NenaMark2 is a hardware accelerated benchmark test program for Android devices. It tests the graphics capabilities of mobile phones by demonstrating a real-time rendered image, including reflection, dynamic shadows, surface parameters, complex light modes, etc. The test result of NenaMark2 is 59.3fps. From this score, we can see that the mobile phone's graphics processing ability is good.

『 Browser performance test 』

The following is a simple test of the browser that comes with the system. Vellamo is a benchmark application developed by Qualcomm. It can measure the performance and stability of the machine browser, including Java script performance, rendering, networking, and user interface. Of course, the higher the score, the better the performance of the system's own browser and the better the web browsing experience. From the score, the system's own browser is very good. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the speed of the system's own browser, you can also install a third-party browser to solve the problem.

『 Video playback test 』

A simple test was conducted for the default player of the system. The Anthare video test software was used here. The test shows that the performance of the default player of the system is very strong. Basically, all video formats can be played, and only six different formats of 2K and 4K videos are not fully supported.

『 Signal test 』

Since the vivo X6 mobile phone adopts an all metal integrated design, and the body metal accounts for up to 98.3%, we all know that metal has an impact on signal transmission. However, the vivo X6 has two white signal wires with 1.5mm nano injection molding process at the upper and lower ends of the back cover. What's the effect of the signal reception of the mobile phone? Let's test the signal strength of the mobile phone through software. The test shows that there is basically no impact on wifi signal transmission. The indoor network signal in the class is - 96dBm to - 97dBm, and the outdoor network signal is - 77dBm to - 86dBm. In general, the signal reception is very good. The call quality in daily call use is also very clear, and no disconnection has occurred. After choosing 4G as the priority, The system will automatically switch between 4G, 3G and 2G signals according to the current signal conditions to ensure the normal reception of mobile phone signals.

『 Power consumption test 』

The vivo X6 mobile phone is equipped with a 2400mAh battery, which is slightly more than the previous generation model. However, I feel that the battery capacity is still too small. It may be because the body is too thin, and I look forward to an early technological breakthrough. Before going to bed, I tested the power consumption of the standby mode, and started QQ and WeChat in the background without any operation. From 1:26 p.m., after 6 hours and 08 minutes of standby time, the total power consumption was 6%. If you only look at the percentage, the power consumption is not small, which is also related to the small battery capacity.

In our daily use of mobile phones, the biggest power consumption should be games and videos. The following is a simple test of the power consumption of mobile phones for playing videos. Using iQIYI built-in to play movies, the sound and brightness are all adjusted to 50%. After one hour of continuous movie playing, the power consumption of mobile phones will be 50% from 64%, and the power consumption will be 14%. If you are a heavy player, Still can't get rid of one charge or several charges a day. Fortunately, our vivo X6 is equipped with dual engine flash charge, which can quickly recharge the phone.

『 Flash charge test 』

The vivo X6 uses a dual charging chip and dual charging circuit, together with the customized Vivo flash battery, to bring twice the charging speed of ordinary mobile phones, faster and more stable. The charging efficiency was simply tested. The original 5V2A/9V2A charging plug and original charging line were used for charging test. When the flash charge is performed again, there will be flash charge animation on the lock screen interface. After 10 minutes of charging, the charging power is 18%. After 30 minutes of continuous charging, the charging power is 49%. The charging speed has indeed been greatly improved.

For more obvious comparison, I used another common 5V2A/9V1.2A smart charging plug for the next test. After 10 minutes of charging, the charging power increased by 10%, and after 30 minutes of continuous charging, the charging power was 26%. Through simple data comparison, the dual engine flash charge effect of vivo X6 is still obvious.

「 HiFi test 」

HiFi has always been the strength of vivo mobile phones. Vivo X6 uses the excellent decoding chip ES9028 and the two-stage amplification operational amplifier ES9603. The two ESS company's future leading products match, creating a new Hi Fi classic. Since I am not a music enthusiast, I can only test the sound quality of my mobile phone from the perspective of an ordinary person. Because the HiFi system is added, the external sound of the speakers is relatively loud. The sound effect is very good when used with the special HiFi headset. However, it has to be mentioned that the XE600i headset in the accessories is just a HiFi, but the effect is really ordinary.

When playing music, we can also turn on the "BBE" sound effect to enhance the listening effect of music. In the music playing interface, click the "menu key" of the phone, then select the "setting" option, enter the "sound effect setting" option, and then you can turn on or off the "BBE" sound effect, and also switch to the "BBE mode".

[Camera test]

The vivo X6 uses a new generation of 1300W rear camera sensor, and adds PDAF phase focusing and auto focusing technology to focus as fast as 0.1 seconds. Rely on 4G powerful storage, the camera is resident in memory, and the camera can be started up as fast as 0.6s to easily grasp the moment. The camera shooting interface is very simple. There are four options: beauty, photography, small video and video recording. Many functions are hidden. In fact, the camera's functions are very powerful. Click the icon at the bottom right of the shooting interface to enter the selection interface of "filter" and "watermark". Click more icons at the top right of the interface to enter the more options interface, where you can select HDR, panorama, night view, ultra clear image quality, document correction, background virtualization, sports, children, professional photography, professional video, slow shot and fast shot, You can also make some simple settings for the camera.

Because my photography level is not very high, and the northern winter is indeed a lack of beautiful scenery, so here are some photos taken at random. Most of our users' mobile phone cameras are mainly in automatic mode. The photos above are basically taken in the automatic mode of the camera, just for size modification. The saturation of the photos in automatic mode is slightly high, but the overall clarity of the photos is good.

The rear camera of the vivo X6 is 1300W pixels with a large aperture of F2.2, so the background is still good when taking close shots. However, if you want to take pictures with good virtualization effect, you must use manual focusing to make it easier. In the "professional mode" of the camera, you can manually adjust the focus to the "macro" mode, so that when taking macro photos, you can get a better background virtualization effect.

Finally, a simple test was carried out on the night shooting effect of the mobile phone. Night scene shooting has always been the weakness of the mobile phone. There is a special "night scene" mode in the camera of the vivo X6 mobile phone. After it is turned on, the night scene shooting operation was carried out. Compared with the photos taken in the automatic mode, the noise points in the photos taken in the "night scene" mode were significantly improved.

Summary

After more than a week's use experience, the overall experience of this vivo X6 phone is still very good. In terms of system fluency, fingerprint recognition speed and dual engine flash charge, we really felt a happy experience.

advantage: The addition of 4GB mass storage, together with the latest FuntouchOS 2.5 system, has greatly improved the smoothness of mobile phones. It is still obvious when switching interfaces and loading applications; All metal integrated body design, the back cover has a delicate touch, equipped with 360 degree high-speed press fingerprint recognition, and the recognition speed is as fast as 0.4S. After the actual fingerprint unlocking experience, it is really very fast; The dual engine flash charge independently developed by vivo can bring about nearly twice the charging speed of ordinary mobile phones.

Shortcomings&Suggestions: The mobile phone uses MT6752 processor, which is still far behind the Snapdragon 800 series processor in terms of performance. This is also the most common complaint; The camera of the mobile phone should be higher than the back cover, and it is only equipped with a single LED flash. If the camera can be flat, plus a dual color temperature flash, it will be more perfect; As a flagship model, it is a pity that the Type-C interface is not more convenient and practical; The mobile phone is equipped with a 2400mAh battery. The battery capacity is too small to meet the user's demand for long life. Although dual engine flash charging is added, it can only be achieved by carrying a charging plug at any time.
