On March 1 this year, vivo held a new product launch conference at Beijing Water Cube, and released its flagship smartphone, vivo Xplay5, two generations apart. However, for various reasons, we were able to buy only the standard version of vivo Xplay5 in the market before, while its flagship version was not officially launched until May two months later. Although they are consistent in appearance, the parameters and specifications differ by a thousand miles. In the photographing part, although the Sony IMX298 camera sensor is used for both of them, and the aperture is F/2.0, which is also a 6P mirror set, because the ISP (image processor) on their SoCs are different, their algorithms may also be readjusted, so the photographing image of the two may also be different, so this evaluation is made.

In this group of proofs, their white balance and details are very similar.

At the sign, the picture of the top version of vivo Xplay5 is purer and the font sharpness is higher.

In the yellow part of the distance, the top version of vivo Xplay5 can see more details of the font.

The cement wall of the top version of vivo Xplay5 is more pure, and the standard version has obvious noise.

After zooming in on the original picture, we can see that the top version of vivo Xplay5 has richer details at the railings on the cement floor in the distance, while some railings of the standard version of vivo Xplay5 have been pasted into a small piece.
In the comparison of outdoor samples in daytime, the white balance performance of the two is similar in sunlight, so there is no problem. In terms of details, the top configuration of vivo Xplay5 is obviously sharpened, which can be more abundant in many details.

In this set of scenes, the white balance of the vivo Xplay5 top configuration version is better than the standard version. On the sign fonts in the distance, the top configuration version displays higher font sharpness and stronger parsing, and the algorithm processing of the background wall is also much better than the standard version.

The cement top part of the vivo Xplay5 top version is more pure, with more smearing and less noise.
Among several sets of indoor samples, the advantages of the top version of the vivo Xplay5 are more obvious. The white balance of many mobile phones under these warm light sources is often out of balance, and the white balance will change greatly when the mobile phone moves a little. However, this does not happen to the two vivo Xplay5. In addition, the top configuration of the vivo Xplay5 still shows the advantages of sharpening and smearing. The magnified details and noise are better than the standard version.
Outdoor at night

The glare performance of the two is similar. In terms of details, the ivo Xplay5 top configuration is superior.

The standard version of vivo Xplay5 has some color noise on the building wall. The top version of vivo Xplay5 has no color noise, and the algorithm processing traces are obvious.

For noise control beside the font, the top version of vivo Xplay5 is obviously better than the standard version.

In the row of horizontal bars on the font of "Village New Temple Gui", the top layout has more details, while we can see the lights on the top of the memorial archway. The top layout is more pure and natural, while the standard version is a little more extensive and noisy.
In terms of outdoor night scene performance, the top version of vivo Xplay5 has obvious advantages. From the perspective of their photographic parameters, in the same scene, the shutter values of both are the same, and the ISO numbers are also slightly different, but the samples are quite different. From the perspective of night imaging style of the top version of vivo Xplay5, its algorithm processing is somewhat similar to that of the iPhone 6s, and is significantly different from that of the standard version of Xplay5.
summary
We try our best to understand the camera parameters of these two Xplay5 cameras. They are exactly the same camera, whether they are lenses or sensors. It seems that there is little difference between the two when the picture is not enlarged, but once it is enlarged, it will be found that the flagship version can have good effects in all aspects, Especially in the case of insufficient light and extremely weak light, the gap between the two is more obvious. The noise control, image purity and detail performance of the vivo Xplay5 top configuration version are significantly better than the standard version.
