Preface vivo Xplay5

"Fast without boundary" is the slogan of the new high-end Xplay5 of vivo, which also points out two selling points of this phone: one is "happy experience", and the other is "music without boundary". Nowadays, the hardware configuration of mobile phones is changing with each passing day. Having a catchy slogan is also the beginning of winning popularity. Next, the author will tell you in an orderly way how the experience effect of vivo Xplay5 is? Focus on the performance of the hyperboloid screen.

Unpacking

As shown in the figure, the packaging of the vivo Xplay5 is very traditional. The white strip carton design is full of "All Netcom, 4G+" icons printed on the front and side, becoming like a "big cat", not beautiful enough. In this regard, I suggest that vivo may refer to the packaging design of some earphone manufacturers and print the half body rendering of vivo mobile phone on the front.

(Included accessories include clip, headset, protective case and charging set)

Mobile phone packaging is just a disposable product, and it is the hard truth to deliver mobile phones firmly. The inside of the vivo Xplay5 package is a double-layer design. The first layer of mobile phones and the second layer are accessories, separately packaged earphones and instructions. This traditional packaging design is older than me, so it is no problem to protect the phone firmly.

The first time I saw the body of the vivo Xplay5, I could see the curved screen design of this mobile phone under the black screen, and I could also know that it has no airport style chin. The old-fashioned package, opened with a new design of mobile phone, makes me feel like "18 changes in women". To quote Mencius: That is a moment, this is also a moment.

| Shape

Perhaps it is correct that the curved screen design is added to the vivo Xplay5. The two sides of the mobile phone become circular, and the curved edge will remain shiny under the light. The marquee we pursued many years ago now captures the light through the hyperbolic screen, which is low-key and luxurious.

The body thickness of vivo Xplay5 is 7.59mm. Because of the addition of the curved screen, when holding it, it will only touch the thickness of the phone's border. In fact, using the Xplay5 gives me the impression that it should be less than 6mm. The natural advantage of the curved screen is that it is light and thin. I just feel: too thin without a protective cover is not safe.

The metal middle frame is a customized double C trimming for the curved screen by vivo, which is used to transition the curved surface and mitigate the risk of falling. I think this is a reasonable design. On the contrary, I pay more attention to the protective sleeve that Vivo has attached. It only has four top corners, and the two sides "hollowed out" the curved edges for people to experience. I really understand "I"!

On the back is a three segment design, a protruding camera and an abnormal white belt. Maybe many people are bored. In fact, this is just a superficial problem. When I started the real phone, the color of the back was uniform, and there were fewer all metal particles. The back of the vivo phone was smoother than the previous ones. It can be seen that after the Xshot, the Xplay5 used a dual color temperature flash again.

Advertising highlight experience

Surface has no boundary

The vivo Xplay5 is equipped with a 5.43-inch 2K hyperbolic screen. When the screen is turned on for the first time, it can get people's visual pursuit. We have to accept its display effect: highly exquisite, gorgeous, and cold. This time, the Super AMOLED screen on the Xplay5 is finally not "inferior", and there is no yellowing and light leakage.

The first time I saw the curved screen, I felt quite "fresh". I even felt like a "borderless" mobile phone under the black background image. However, when I opened the white background image, the black edge appeared again. Now I just want to use black wallpaper.

The curved screen not only makes the Xplay5 lighter and thinner, but also provides a better sense of holding with one hand. When your hands are tired, you can stick them on the screen and continue playing. However, it may cause accidental touch occasionally. If vivo can continue to develop the sidebar function or add anti touch function, the meaning of curved screen will disappear.

Compared with the traditional straight screen, the hyperboloid screen has more novel switching dynamics, that is, more display modes. In particular, when switching photos, the pictures seem to be rolled in one by one, and the switching images become flexible. When I have nothing to do, crazy slide is very sour!

It is really beautiful to leave light on the curved screen when it is black. However, when the screen is lit, the hyperboloid screen will also leave light, and the curved edge irradiated by the light will not be able to see the screen clearly, so it is difficult to operate the illuminated edge. You must change your posture, which is the natural defect of the hyperboloid screen.

Happy hardware

At the press conference, vivo excitedly announced that the Xplay5 is the world's first smartphone with 6GB RAM. However, this is the only configuration available in the flagship version. This one is 4GB RAM+128GB standard version.

Last year, I got the X6 with 4GB RAM for the first time. What should I use it for? This time when I got the standard version of Xplay5, I still thought about it. I am willing to go out in order to experience. Five large-scale games were installed on the vivo Xplay5 at one time, namely, Top Speed 17, Modern War 5, Ju Bang, NBA2K16 and FIFA 16.

In my opinion, "Top Speed 17" is a game to play happily. If Snapdragon 652 processor can't play a game happily, what should it do? In the process, the game did not crash. The map package and sound effect were loaded normally. The main reason is that the sound quality is good, so the game is comfortable to play. It is only the hot hand caused by the metal body during the game, and it must be isolated by the plastic protective shell.

I opened these five 1G games in the background, returned to the home page and continued to slide the desktop. There was still no "stuck" phenomenon, and QQ and WeChat were still running inside. If you really want to test the limit of 4GB RAM, it is meaningless.

Q: So what's the use of the 6GB storage+128GB memory in the flagship version of vivo Xplay5, which has so much free space?

A: First, 6GB RAM can ensure that this mobile phone will not fall behind in a few years. 128GB memory will not be full in a few years, which will reduce the frequency and desire for new phones.

Second, as a music phone, its memory is large enough to put many hundreds of megabytes of lossless music. From these two points of view, it is worth buying Xplay5.

Vivo Xplay5 audio quality

Vivo mobile phone is a model of music mobile phone recognized by the industry. This new flagship mobile phone of Vivo will certainly inherit Vivo's good music pedigree. Next, I will tell you the answer through my "music experience".

Beyond

Earth is a famous song of Beyond, which also establishes Beyond's position in the music world. This song is a slow rock style, with a slow and aggressive rhythm. It is most suitable for testing the thrust of vivo Xplay5.

First of all, the earphone I choose is a thousand yuan noise reduction earphone. Under the thrust of Xplay5, the advantages of this earphone's mid-range voice can be restored: clear lyrics, crisp instrument percussion sound. When HiFi is turned on, the sound field is much wider than when it is not turned on, so the important thing is to say three times: turn on HiFi! To open HiFi! To open HiFi!

Faye Wong&Eason Chan [because of love]

"Because of love, I won't be sad easily". This song has no passionate tragedy, only warm charm. This time, I chose the XE600i plug attached to vivo for listening. Prophet, XE600i earphone features suitable for vocal use. Still open HiFi to listen to "Because of Love". The lyrics between the lines can be clearly distinguished, and vocal music sounds good. The system has a "bbe" sound effect, which will perform better after adjusting the low frequency.

Ramin Djawadi【Pacific rim】

Pacific rim is no stranger. It is the theme song of the movie Pacific Rim. The overall rhythm is exciting, tense and magnificent, which is most suitable for testing the scene performance of Xplay5. When the song is played out, I can feel that it has a broad sound field, but the rhythm is not changed quickly enough, and the scene is not tense enough.

In contrast, play Tian Fuzhen's Little Luck. The singer is fascinated when he speaks. The sound effect is clear and the sound field is wide enough. The voice is as sweet as sugar. The sound field is wide. Without saying in advance that the mobile phone is playing, Music Xiaobai, including me, will think that this is due to the stereo speakers. Therefore, the power amplifier and ear amplifier of the vivo Xplay5 are still very strong, and they are good at medium and high frequency vocals, while heavy metal or fast-paced music are slightly inadequate.

| Operating system

Vivo's operating system is called Funtouch OS. I always think it's a long and smelly name, which is difficult to call and remember. Although the name is general, this OS does have fluency and some small features. Especially the desktop "time, weather and music" integrated widget, my favorite.

Unlock special effect: vivo has made unlocking so high for the first time. Where the finger is placed, there will be blue light focusing. At the same time, there will be blue lasers on both sides of the surface. It's good to play occasionally.

Caller special effect (it needs to be placed face down): I usually place the bracelet face down because of the convex lens of the phone. It seems that Vivo has found this user habit that when a phone calls, "aurora" flashes on both sides of the curved surface, ingeniously using the advantages of curved screen. But note: I dare to put it face down only after sticking a film!

Futouch OS is developed based on Android 5.1. In addition to the above features, it also has the following three features: first, split screen multitasking, second, super screenshot, and third, application separation.

Split screen multitasking : Here's a story. Once when I watched a video in full screen, I had to go back to QQ to check the new message, and I was dumbfounded... The video software had to be re opened and the video was re buffered. This function is used for watching videos and playing games. When new news comes, it will chat on separate screens. The important thing is that the fluency will not decrease.

Super Screenshot : vivo plays the screenshot function extremely well. Open "Super screenshot" and you can use the function of the icon, which covers all the playing methods of screenshots. However, most of the screenshots I actually use are rectangular screenshots.

Application avatar : To put it bluntly, this function is to open double QQ, double WeChat and double Taobao on a mobile phone. Although there are only three apps currently supported, they have become dependent on me. Occasionally, we chat with semicolons. After all, everyone has multiple accounts.

The system style and operation of Fontouch OS are basically the same as most domestic Android OS, with only a few functions different from the ones I mentioned above. There are no obvious weaknesses in other aspects.

Camera

With traditional white flash, the pictures shot by the dual color temperature flash are often "white", while the pictures shot by the dual color temperature flash are more consistent with the real color. Vivo finally plays with the dual color temperature again. From the picture, it can be seen that with dual color temperature flash light, shooting in low light conditions will be more real, which saves the trouble of later map revision.

The outdoor live shot is as follows (straight out, not repaired, only compressed):

Aperture F2.0 shutter speed 1/25 ISO181

Aperture F2.0 shutter speed 1/453 ISO100 (ultra-high quality mode)

Aperture F2.0 shutter speed 1/717 ISO100

Aperture F2.0 shutter speed 1/300 ISO1009 (when the wind is strong, motion anti shake mode)

Aperture F2.0 shutter speed 1/137 ISO100 (HDR mode)

The imaging style of Xplay5 is more realistic, the picture definition is very high, and the details of close shooting are well preserved (as shown in Figure 4), but the color is too light when shooting flowers and the sky, which needs to be adjusted later (as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5). If you make good use of the built-in photography mode, you can really produce good pictures.

From Figure 1 and Figure 3, the exposure of Xplay5 is reasonable when shooting large scenes. At the same time, it was found that there was an operation in the Funtouch OS camera that was unbearable. The composition of Jiugongge was limited to professional mode, and other modes were unavailable. Vivo should repair it immediately.

8 million pixels in front is enough for self taking. Funtouch OS also comes with its own beauty camera. However, the beauty problem has not changed. The selfie is still too much. I become a "flower girl" at only 30 degrees. I suggest Vivo adjust the beauty level as soon as possible. (Figure 1 Is it more handsome?)

| End of text

Highlights : Even the standard version of Xplay5 supports dual cards and dual Netcom, which solves the inconvenience of changing cards for users. Although this service is popular in high-end mobile phones at present, at least this mobile phone is not backward in terms of network format.

At present, fast charging technology is widely used in high-end mobile phones, so it is unnecessary to inquire about the charging speed. The battery capacity of vivo Xplay5 is 3600mAh, and the charger output is 9V/2A at most. After my experience for many times, 0-100% can be fully charged in about 100 minutes. For a large 3600mAh battery, the charging speed is reasonable.

advantage

Unique protective case, sleek mobile phone design, good screen display effect, sufficient metal materials, clear camera pictures, the addition of dual color temperature flash to praise, good game compatibility, high fluency, inheritance of excellent sound quality tradition, good practicability of small innovative new functions, and 128GB of body memory.

The advantages of vivo hyperboloid screen: the sliding operation has a sense of folding, the black screen has a gloss under it, the phone is thinner when holding, it is more hand tight when operating with one hand, the black wallpaper can hide the black edge, and the curved screen has beautiful and practical calling effect.

shortcoming

The metal body is easy to heat up, the shooting image color is slightly lighter, the selfie is still "too repaired" (the third-party app is OK), the lens is still convex, the Jiugongge composition line only supports professional mode, and the previous expansion of memory card is canceled.

Defects of vivo hyperboloid screen: inconvenient film pasting, white panel with obvious black edge, bright screen with light luster affecting operation, and side function is not perfect.

Saturday, April 16, 2016 Weather: light rain

Today, I used Vivo's new phone again. I took it to a party and a friend said, "Your mobile phone's curved screen is beautiful. See you for the first time.". I only remember that vivo is a music phone, and 128GB of memory can finally put many lossless music.

Admittedly, the slogan of "fast without boundaries" is not groundless. Vivo has really realized the promise of "music+fast". However, "excellent sound quality performance, large memory can hold multiple lossless music", which is more attractive to me. So what is the biggest feature of vivo Xplay5? I think the sound quality is first, and then the curved screen.
