|Preamble

　　 The iterative update speed of smart phones is beyond people's imagination. In order to get a share of the smart phone market, various manufacturers have launched various "black technology" phones. Since Samsung launched the hyperbolic screen phone, vivo has also launched the first hyperbolic screen phone in China - vivo xplay5. This mobile phone is equipped with 2K Super AMOLED hyperboloid screen , also has 4G super large memory (6G in the flagship version) and Hi-Fi the acme Sound quality, such configuration not only makes Vivo xplay5 has a high appearance and is "fast without boundaries".

|Unpacking

　　 In this age of beauty, the outer packaging must also have high beauty. In terms of the outer packaging, vivo xplay5 has changed from the square outer packaging in the past to the rectangular outer packaging with a large gilt LOGO on the front, which makes the overall appearance simple and grand.

A good product must impress consumers at the details. The top and bottom of the xplay5 packaging box are separated, with mobile phones on the top and accessories on the bottom. It is clear, concise and orderly. In addition, the full number of accessories shows that vivo is sincere this time. In addition to the regular charger and USB cable, there is also an entry level accessory Hi-Fi Headphones and a textured protective case.

|Appearance and details

　　 The first time I touched the hyperbolic screen mobile phone, I was shocked by the visual perception. The dark hyperboloid screen is matched with a white panel, and the visual effect that is fast to infinity and overflowing like water drops really makes people admire Vivo's exquisite workmanship.

When the screen is lit, the transparent and three-dimensional visual effect created by the hyperbolic screen gives another visual shock. Finger gently across the screen, forming a rolling curtain like visual experience at the edge of the screen.

The hyperbolic screen, in addition to being beautiful, also has the functions of "side screen unlocking" and "side screen call reminder". The so-called "side screen unlocking" means that when the screen is locked, fingers gently scratch the side of the screen, and the two sides of the mobile phone screen will have a dazzling halo. The so-called "side screen call reminder" means that when there is a call, there will be a lantern like halo reminder on both sides of the screen, but this function will be automatically activated only when the screen is placed downward.

The top of the Xplay5 screen is still the usual logo of vivo. In addition, there are 800W front camera, earpiece and light distance sensor

At the bottom of the screen are still the three entity touch keys that Vivo has always used. From left to right, there are menu keys, home keys and return keys. It is worth mentioning that these three keys are still not equipped with backlight, but if you are used to it, you can also find the corresponding keys accurately.

In order to be perfectly integrated with the curved screen, the left and right middle frames of the Xplay5 are extremely narrow in design. The double C trimming process makes the middle frame lines slightly firm. In addition, the double C trimming brings a slight friction, which makes it difficult for the phone to slip from the hand when it is held. At the lower left side of the middle frame is a dual Nano SIM card that supports dual cards and dual bands but does not support memory expansion. The reason for this design is that the Xplay5 already has 128G of body storage, and it also supports OTG expansion. The right side of the middle box is the volume control key and the power key. From the actual experience, the key program is moderate and the rebound is powerful.

A 3.5mm audio jack and a noise reducing microphone are set on the top of the fuselage. The 3.5mm audio jack is not centered due to the need of internal component layout, but it does not affect the use.

The main microphone, Mirco USB interface and speaker are designed at the bottom of the fuselage. Symmetrical layout is still not used in the layout, but this asymmetric design also makes the Xplay5 have its own style.

　 The Xplay5 rear shell adopts the metal integrated molding technology. The aluminum magnesium alloy material has been officially milled, shaped, polished and fine zirconium sand sprayed to achieve the ultimate touch of the Xplay5. In order to ensure the mobile phone signal, the official uses the nano injection molding process to cast two signal bands at the upper and lower ends of the back, dividing the back of the mobile phone into three areas.

　 At the upper left corner of the back of the Xplay5 is a 1600W pixel rear camera, which has a 6P lens, dual color temperature flash and F/2.0 aperture. The middle upper part is a square fingerprint unlocking module that is as fast as 0.2 seconds, which not only has fast recognition speed, but also has high recognition accuracy.

|Performance and running score

　　 Xplay5 is divided into the flagship version and the standard version. The flagship version uses Snapdragon 820 chip and 6G large memory in hardware, while the standard version uses Snapdragon 652 chip and 4G large memory. What I got is the standard version of Xplay5. In terms of CPU performance, it can only be said that it is standard. How about the mid end chip with 4G memory?

In terms of running score, the running score of 75919 is above the average. It would be better if it was the flagship version. This kind of running score can completely cope with daily applications and games. Of course, the pursuit of high running points is not what I want. What I need is a smooth use experience. Next, let's test the fluency of Xplay5. Open the "GPU rendering mode analysis" in the "Developer Options" of the mobile phone. As long as it is below the green line, it means smooth operation.

From the test results, the curve is relatively smooth, which indicates that the fluency of Xplay5 is quite good. The smooth use experience is attributed to the use of 4G large memory in Xplay5. From the actual use experience, the daily applications are more open and switched to each other very smoothly.

|Take photos

　　 As the new flagship of the vivo series of mobile phones, xplay 5 can't lose to its rivals in terms of photography. This time, xplay 5 has made significant upgrades and changes in both hardware and software.

　　 In terms of hardware, xplay 5 uses an 8 megapixel front camera and a 16 megapixel rear camera. The rear camera adopts a new generation of Sony IMX298 rear camera, 6P mirror set, F/2.0 aperture, and supports electronic anti shake and phase focusing. In addition, it is also equipped with a dual color temperature flash lamp, so that when shooting, it can more accurately capture the color of the object being photographed.

　　 From the software level, the camera function is resident in the system memory, allowing the camera to respond faster and open faster. In addition, the camera interface is simple and orderly, providing 13 shooting modes and 45 filters such as beauty, photography, small video, video HDR, panorama, etc. To meet the needs of photography enthusiasts, xplay 5 also provides a professional shooting mode.

So many introductions have been made. What's the photo effect of xplay5, the new flagship? Next, we will take some photos.

From the perspective of white balance and color restoration, it can be seen from the comparison of the above outdoor and indoor samples that the white balance and color restoration of xplay5 are relatively accurate, the picture is clear and the focus is accurate.

From the perspective of resolution, thanks to the large F/2.0 aperture of the rear camera, more light enters and the camera retains more details in the dark. As can be seen from the figure, there are still many details reserved in the depth of the underground garage entrance and the interior of the community entrance door.

In terms of night scene, the overall picture is clean, the outline is clear, and the color restoration is relatively accurate. The disadvantage is that the picture has a certain sense of smearing. After zooming in, the impatience is quite obvious. However, in other words, mobile phones are not SLRs after all, and it is quite certain that such imaging effects can be achieved.

In terms of macro, thanks to the large aperture of F/2.0, xplay 5 has taken a satisfactory background blurring effect, highlighting the shooting subject.

　　 In general, xplay5 has accurate white balance and good color reproduction. Thanks to the advantage of large aperture, the camera has more light and retains more details in dark places. In addition, the large aperture also makes xplay5 excellent macro photography.

|System

　　 In terms of system, Xplay5 adopts the in-depth customized Funtouch OS 2.5.1 system based on Android 5.1. The flat design style and fresh color matching are impressive.

　　 In terms of system UI design, Funtouch OS 2.5.1 adopts the popular flat design style to uniformly design and rearrange icons, controls and plug-ins. For example, time, weather and music player are combined into a small plug-in; The icon adopts a rounded square design, and the corners of the icon are more rounded; The color collocation is more rich and full of design sense.

In terms of system interaction, Funtouch OS 2.5.1 has comprehensively optimized the system interaction, making the system operation more simple and easy, and even new users can get started quickly. For example, the lower part of the screen is marked as the notice bar, and the upper part is marked as the shortcut switch control page; In the setting interface, all setting options are unified into one interface, and WYSIWYG is convenient for users.

In terms of system security, Funtouch OS 2.5.1 controls and constrains the system software APP in an all-round way through the built-in i steward. The system will automatically clear third-party notifications and advertising pop-up windows, control the software to start automatically, and check and kill system trojans and viruses.

|Write at the end

　　 To sum up, the Xplay5 is the first mobile phone in China to use a hyperboloid screen. The hyperboloid screen with an all metal integrated body, combined with the fine workmanship of vivo, has achieved the high appearance and extreme feel of the Xplay5. The fingerprint identification module with 4G large memory and as fast as 0.2 seconds makes xplay5 "fast and borderless". The 1600 pixel rear camera makes it no longer an extravagant hope to take the most beautiful pictures. In addition, based on Android 5.1 in-depth customization of the Funtouch OS 2.5.1 system, It not only tends to be flat in design style, but also comprehensively improves user experience in interactive logic.
