X7Plus is a new generation of main model of vivo, which is equipped with a soft light self portrait front camera system designed by vivo. It uses Moonlight soft light+16 million front camera, and focuses on self portrait. A friend who knows about the mobile phone industry may know that vivo, a blue giant, is different from most mobile phone manufacturers that sell online. It has always adhered to the strategy of offline sales. After in-depth understanding of the differences between online and offline consumers' purchasing psychology, it has adhered to the differentiation route, tried to avoid homogenization with other mobile phones, and after targeting the female selfie market with huge demand, Vivo X7/X7Plus came into being. Today, we take you to see how the large version of X7Plus has improved compared with my brother X7.
The packaging of the X7Plus is completely the same as that of the traditional vivo packaging box. The white packaging box only has the words X7Plus, which is a square and simple box.
The package is a pull-up box. After the upper cover is opened, you can see the real X7Plus. The white body matches the white box, and the lining is printed with the representative Hi Fi&Smart logo of vivo.
X7Plus comes with a wide range of accessories. It not only comes with a film, but also comes with a replacement film. In addition, it also comes with two silicone protective covers, a standard charger and data cable.
The attached charger is the 9V/2A or 5V/2A charging head equipped as standard by vivo, and the number is BK-T-01O.
The front face design of the X7Plus is the same as that of the X7. It adopts the recently popular front face design, with rounded corners, symmetrical forehead and chin. Various sensors are distributed on both sides of the earpiece. The oval Home button. Although there is some suspicion of public face, the X7Plus's appearance is still popular, and the champagne gold metal body+white panel still has some texture.
The X7Plus uses the champagne gold body+pure white front panel, and uses a 5.7 inch AMOLED screen. The overall appearance is good, although not stunning, but it is very durable.
The classic oval Home button design is adopted, and the overall shape is round. Although the screen has 5.7 inches, the round design of the four corners makes it easy to hold, without any corner scratching.
The back adopts an integrated metal body+three-stage design, and the antenna partition strip is embedded in the metal by injection molding process. The back shape is quite round. Arc transition is used on all four sides. The metal treated with sand blasting process has a fine and smooth feel. The edge of the arc design is also very close to the palm.
The X7 series abandons the design of three virtual keys+back fingerprint recognition used by vivo in the past, and instead uses the popular physical home key integrated fingerprint recognition+dual touch keys. This Home is slightly different from other brands. In addition to being able to press, you can also tap the Home button (except for double clicking the Home button to start the camera).
From left to right on the top are front camera, earpiece, sensor and Moonlight soft light.
The design of the front of the mobile phone is quite simple. There is no logo or other signs of the brand. X7/X7Plus moves fingerprint recognition to the front fingerprint recognition scheme of the Home button. Its fingerprint recognition speed is quite outstanding in today's machines. It can be unlocked almost when touching the Home button. The unlocking speed is very fast, almost to the extent that the fingerprint recognition time can not be detected. This speed is one of the best in today's smart phones. When the screen is turned off, you can also tap the Home button to complete the unlocking. You can touch the Home button gently with your finger without pressing it. The unlocking speed is also very fast.
The light champagne gold back cover is sandblasted. It feels fine and smooth. The arc design of the edge is just right, and it fits well with the palm when held. In addition to the front panel, the whole machine uses champagne gold color matching. Vivo is very experienced in this color matching. The light gold is not too rich, elegant and unconventional.
The design style of the back is similar to that of the front, simple and pure. Only the back of the whole machine has the logo of vivo. The workmanship of the whole machine has adhered to the consistent standard of vivo. The workmanship is excellent, the seam alignment is accurate, and the chamfer design is adopted for opening and all holes are free of burrs. The edges of the SIM card slot and the Home button are also quite tight, so the workmanship is outstanding in China. The factory also pasted a film according to the usual practice, which was very considerate and considerate for the user.
Compared with X7, the X7Plus is upgraded on the rear camera, which uses a 16 million pixel rear camera with a monochrome fill light beside it.
The SIM card slot is located on the left side of the fuselage. The X7Plus supports dual cards and dual standby. It is composed of two Nano SIM card slots. The slot fits perfectly with the frame, slightly lower than the frame.
All the buttons are integrated on the right side of the body. The upper one is the volume button, and the lower one is the power button. Due to the large size of the body, the power button with higher use frequency is lower and more convenient to use.
There are many holes at the bottom, and 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone, MicroUSB interface and speaker holes are arranged in order.
The design of the top is very simple. Although it is a metal body formed at one time, a CNC chamfer polishing section is still made at the junction of the frame and the back cover for the sake of beauty. The whole machine is very round. No matter the four corners or the edge of the frame, the grip can fit the palm of the hand, and there will be no hand scratching problem due to the poor shape of the frame.
Screen quality
The vivo X7Plus uses a 5.7 inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1080P. The maximum brightness is about 368 nits, and the color temperature is 7300K, which is slightly cold. However, it inherits the advantages of the A screen, which has always been rich in color and high in contrast, and is more attractive. In terms of color accuracy, the average Delta E of 104 colors is 5.3, and the sRGB color gamut is 143.9%, showing normal performance. On the whole, the performance of this screen is good, and the visual effect is OK.
System and performance
Vivo X7Plus came out with the Funtouch OS 2.5.1 system, customized based on Android 5.1.1, using the now common single-layer desktop, no application drawer, simple and clear operation, the system icon adopts the pseudo flat design, and the multi task interface is integrated in the pull-up menu, so the operation is relatively fast. In addition to simple and convenient design, it also integrates the application separation function, and WeChat and QQ can both be opened. Vivo has always done a good job in system optimization. Funtouch OS 2.5.1 is also smooth and smooth. There is no lack of functions. Localization is also very good. Vivo is worth praising in this regard.
CPU computing performance
GPU computing performance
Flash memory read/write performance
Like X7, X7Plus adopts the configuration of Snapdragon 652+4GB LPDDR3 running memory+64GB built-in storage. Snapdragon 652 is composed of four 1.8GHz A72 cores and four 1.4GHz A53. Some GPUs are Adreno 510 with the main frequency of 624GHz. If the Snapdragon 820 does not meet the expectations of everyone, then the Snapdragon 652 is far beyond the expected performance. Its high-performance and cost-effective features make it appear on many domestic mobile phones and light flagship, and X7/X7Plus is one of them. In the CPU part, both the single core performance and multi-core performance exceed the previous generation flagship Snapdragon 810. The GPU part is slightly weaker than 810. In the graphics part, the Adreno 430 of Snapdragon 810 is still defeated. It is close to the Adreno 418 of Snapdragon 808. Generally, the game pressure is not great. It is sufficient to deal with the 1080P screen of X7/X7Plus.
Photo proof
The X7Plus has further upgraded the camera configuration on the basis of X7, using Sony's IMX298 sensor, 16 million pixels, aperture f/2.0, and a monochrome fill light. The photographing interface continues the usual style of Vivo. The interface is very simple. The photographing mode is sliding left and right, and the real-time filter effect is on the right side of the photographing button. In actual use, its focusing speed has been improved compared with X7, and the shutter is also fast. However, the HDR and night scene shooting experience is still inferior to the top models.

In the daytime proof, the X7Plus shows its due level in details. Compared with the 1200/1300 pixel model, it has obvious advantages in details. The white balance performance is also more accurate. There is no cold and green on the X7. The discrimination still needs to be strengthened. There are also some sharp marks on the edge of the text. But generally speaking, the rear camera equipped with the X7Plus still reaches the level that the IMX298 should have, which is significantly improved compared with the 13 million pixel rear camera of the X7.
Night sample:

In the night sample, its advantages of high pixels are obvious. In the 100% enlarged picture, its details are retained well. Compared with the daytime, its discrimination does not decline significantly. The noise control is also within the controllable range, and the overall picture is relatively clean. In addition, the 16 megapixel camera does not appear out of focus of the X7 in a dark environment. Although the focusing speed is still not fast, the yield has improved a lot.
selfie
Like X7, X7Plus adopts the design of front 16 million pixel camera+Moonlight soft light, aperture F/2.0, and self portrait beauty effect, which is the most violent front camera design at present. Therefore, we also conducted a special test on the front camera to see how its self portrait effect is.
Aperture - f/2.0 Exposure - 1/25 ISO-405
100% magnification
In our selfie samples, the X7Plus shows quite exquisite performance. After turning on the soft light, it has significantly improved the skin color. Its 16 megapixel front facing camera performs very well in terms of details and white balance, especially in details. Compared with ordinary mobile phones, it has incomparable advantages. In addition, it has its own beauty shooting mode, which can be adjusted by the user. Compared with the 10 level effect adjustment of ordinary beauty cameras, vivo's beauty skills are self-evident. If you are a girl who likes taking selfies very much, X7/X7 Plus is really the best choice at present.
Endurance&fever
The vivo X7Plus is equipped with a battery of up to 4000mAh, and has experienced 30 minutes of NBA 2K15 WiFi Internet access and 4G Internet access will take 30 minutes respectively. Music will play for 1 hour and local music will play for 30 minutes. After three and a half hours of high-intensity endurance test, the remaining power is 75%, which is quite excellent, far ahead of vivo X7. The endurance is more excellent than Xplay5 series. After the same endurance test, it will lead Xplay5 by about 8%, only 3% different from Snapdragon 820 S7 edge, Compared with my little brother X7, it is 11% ahead. The endurance has been greatly improved, and it is no longer a short board.
After half an hour of game testing, the maximum temperature of the front side of the fuselage is about 43.8 degrees, and the maximum temperature of the back side is about 38.2 degrees. The performance is normal. The heating part is concentrated in the middle and upper parts of the fuselage, and no obvious heating will be felt when holding it.
The X7Plus supports the dual engine flash charge unique to vivo. The measured power is about 9V 1.8A, and the power is stable at 17W. The charging efficiency is good, at a medium to high level.
summary
As a sharp weapon of the latest generation of vivo, The X7Plus may not have outstanding performance and various eye-catching black technologies, but it is steadfast in every aspect step by step. It is like a perfect bucket without shortcomings after being carefully refined and reinforced layer by layer. Every place exudes the spirit of Vivo's pursuit of practicality first. No matter hardware or system optimization, every place operates orderly and healthily, In addition to the large battery brought by the large body, it has a better endurance than the X7. All these together make up the X7Plus, which has almost no short board. In addition to trying to improve himself, vivo has not forgotten to take a differentiated route, not only continuing the HiFi audio level that he has always been good at (for detailed audio review, please click Low Frequency Breakthrough Vivo X7Plus Audio Special Evaluation ）, and also joined the unique Moonlight soft light+16 million pixel front camera, focusing on the selfie segment. In our actual test, the X7Plus has indeed demonstrated the strongest self timer ability at present. Long life+HiFi+soft light selfie=X7Plus, it's not enough to call it the best mobile phone ever used by vivo.
