On November 16, vivo X9 and vivo Xplay6 were released at Beijing Water Cube. One is double shot by the front, and the other is double shot by the rear, becoming the popular mobile phone of the season.

I have to say that girls' consumption concept in the field of mobile phones is very simple. As long as the camera is good, it is a good mobile phone. However, I think that in the era of "finding a boyfriend who can take photos first", the rear camera is not good enough to meet the requirements of the majority of female compatriots, because even the 2000w rear camera, the boyfriend of his family can take pictures of garbage composition without shaking. Therefore, the vivo X9 refreshes everyone's understanding of selfie once again. The 2000w+800w front double shot soft light selfie is just for "a girlfriend who can take photos".

Today, the author will take you to see what's outstanding about vivo X9 in this era of mobile phone homogenization.

[How to identify vivo X9 at a glance among thousands of mobile phones]

From vivo X6 to vivo X9, there is still no big change in the packaging. The pure white background and X9 words are simple and generous.

Accessories are as complete and detailed as before, including transparent phone case x2 (one colorless and one bluish purple), standby membrane x1, card reader x1, XE680 semi earphone x1, 9V2.0A flash charging head x1, USB data cable x1, warranty card and guide to getting started.

Careful friends will find that the packaging logo has been changed from "HiFi&Smart" to "Camera&Music", which seems to indicate that vivo has gradually changed from pursuing high fidelity sound quality to pursuing synchronous development of photography and music.

The 5.5 inch home screen and the latest COS narrow border technology narrow the border to 1.59 mm, and the screen proportion reached 73.85%. Although many people say that they don't like the large mobile phone screen, because it is easy to throw the mobile phone if they can't control it with one hand. However, the author recalls what the official said at the launch of vivo X7 that vivo has always wanted a larger screen and a smaller body to achieve the ultimate feel and appearance. From the appearance of the vivo X9, it really has a good experience in both vision and hand feel.

The vivo X9 adopts the fifth generation Corning gorilla glass screen technology, with a main screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and a screen pixel density of 401ppi. From the wallpaper provided with the system, the contrast and color saturation of the vivo X9 screen are very good, and the imaging is relatively clear and delicate. I believe that whether watching videos, playing games or browsing photos, there is a good picture quality experience.

Now the popular 2.5D curved glass screen, together with the round metal body, makes the whole machine have a smooth transition of natural radians, making it very comfortable to hold.

If you ask me how I can accurately identify the vivo X9 at a glance in the era of "tens of millions of mobile phones almost all look the same", I would suggest you look at its top. Vivo has five holes on the top of the X9 screen, from left to right, there are front 800w sub camera, front 2000w main camera, earpiece, infrared and soft light.

The oval home key design of vivo X7 is continued at the bottom, and the front fingerprint unlocking is integrated, which can be unlocked by touching when the screen is turned off. The menu key and return key are distributed on both sides of the HOME key in a hidden design. The author who has used Meizu and iPhone is still not suitable for this design.

Volume key and power on key.

The X9 card reader has a small change compared with the previous one. It has enlarged the size and is not easy to lose. It supports all Netcom 4G and dual card dual standby.

At the bottom, from left to right, are the headphone jack, microphone, USB connector and speaker.

Streamlined metal body design, the U-shaped antenna is also one of the highlights of the X9. Some netizens will question that the antenna design is somewhat similar to the iPhone 7. But I think good design is worth learning.

[A totally unstoppable selfie]

The front main camera of vivo X9 adopts the 20 million sensor IMX376 jointly developed by vivo and Sony, and is equipped with a new second generation of soft light. I believe that friends who have seen the promotional video will not only sigh for the X9 front dual camera, but also have a little doubt but also a sense of ambivalence. So what kind of self portrait journey does the front dual camera bring to the author, Let's have a look.

Many functions have been added to the self timer mode of the system's native camera. In addition to dual camera virtualization, HDR, standard/high-definition dual camera options can also be enabled, and whether to add the vivo X9 watermark can also be set. The beauty mode not only supports one button beauty and one button beauty, but also adds three parameters of skin grinding, skin color and whitening in the custom settings.

● Ordinary self timer - one test for each aperture gear

There are a total of 9 aperture gears for dual camera virtualization, F0.95~F16. I can't wait to try every gear when I get started with my mobile phone, and I can't stop. I can only summarize in one sentence - "I can't control how much I send", until finally I can't show any self portrait expression. From the proof, the front main camera of 2000w makes the five features of the portrait very clear, the exposure is accurate and the details are handled well. The virtual background makes the subject more prominent, and at first glance it looks like a close-up.

Open double shot, aperture F0.95 sample

Open double shot, aperture F4.0 sample

Taking two samples of aperture F0.95 and F4.0, the author found that the aperture is set too large (the aperture value is small), the background is blurred unnaturally, some details will be lost, and it is slightly stiff. When the aperture is set above F2.8, the effect of background virtualization will be more natural. After the aperture value reaches F8.0, although there is a virtual effect, it is not very prominent. Therefore, the author suggests that if you want to achieve a more natural double photographing virtual effect, the aperture value should be set to F2.8~F5.6. However, most of the self portraits are mainly uploaded to the online social networking platform, and it is difficult to find these small flaws without zooming in.

If you think your expression in a photo is very beautiful, but the focus and blurring effect are not as good as you like, you can also try the Vivo X9's refocusing function. Click the "double shot blurring" on the picture to enter the editing mode and reselect the focus and aperture parameters until you are satisfied. Take photos first and then focus on them. It's up to you to decide whether the virtual foreground or the virtual background is true. This has realized more possibilities for composition and artistic conception. It is just in line with the propaganda that "every self portrait is like a master's handwriting".

● Backlight self timer

I have used Vivo's mobile phone for several generations, and the backlight selfie has always been something that I think the mobile phone can't handle. It's either white or blurred. So in the past, my impression of Vivo's mobile phone camera has always been that it must have good light and smooth light to make a good film.

But this time, the front dual camera of the vivo X9 completely changed my view of the vivo mobile phone camera. When I saw the golden color brought by the sun on my hair when taking a self portrait in the backlight, I admitted that I was really shocked and attracted a lot of praise from my friends.

The video X9 front double shot self shot in the backlight. From the perspective of the sample, the clarity, delicacy, and exposure are all very good. Different angles will bring different sun spot effects. Some professional photographers may disagree with this kind of spot, However, it is believed that the vast number of consumers will prefer this sunny and fresh imaging effect.

● Self timer under fluorescent lamp

In addition to taking self portraits outdoors, for girls, taking self portraits indoors is also a common scene in life. For me, even if the dormitory is no longer in disorder and the sunlight is no longer natural, I can't stop the mobile phone I want to take self portraits.

The author made a small comparison between the self taken photos of vivo Xplay5 and vivo X9 (without the soft light turned on) under daylight light. It can be seen that the image of X9 still retains sufficient clarity, the quality of the picture is relatively fine, there is no obvious noise, and the five facial features of the portrait are not blurred.

● Self timer in low light

When talking about the self portrait of the author in weak light, first let us see the location of the author's bed (the picture is taken by vivo X9), which is located in a small corner of the dormitory. Because the dormitory is too small, the coat can only be hung beside the bed, making this originally dark corner more "dark". The author usually wants to take a "bed photo" or something, and can only see a mosaic face. What kind of selfie effect will the vivo X9 with the soft light turned on have under such conditions?

The pattern of the mosquito net is still clear after being magnified 6 times locally. Looking at the imaging effect, I just want to say that the "bed photo" will be available in the future.

● ktv selfie

In the past, I always envied those who took clear self portraits from ktv. I couldn't resist taking the X9 and experiencing it in ktv. The red and green flash of ktv made the light distribution not very uniform, and the photos were slightly noisy. But under such conditions, it was also an amazing place for X9 to take such self portraits.

● Self portrait in full darkness

The light at the dormitory door is broken all the year round, and it is completely dark at night. It is not clear whether the creature is male or female. The author tested the selfie effect of vivo X9 in such an environment.

When the fill light is turned on in the dark, the self portrait effect is almost the same as that when the self portrait is taken in the weak light. The picture quality is still clear, and the facial features of the portrait are very clear. In addition, the author found that the eyes are always slightly brighter after taking the self portrait with X9, which makes people more alert.

● Delicate beauty

In the selfie mode, you can choose to double take the virtual image or choose the meticulous beauty (the two cannot be selected at the same time). From the sample, the difference between ordinary beauty and meticulous beauty is not very big. Personally, I prefer the effect of double take the virtual image plus ordinary beauty, which highlights the main body and brightens the skin color. Once again, I felt that the eye part would be brightened, the eyelashes would be clear and countable, and the picture quality would be very delicate.

In addition to spending a lot of time on the front camera, the X9 native image editor has also added a lot of new functions due to its cooperation with the Tiantian P Map APP. In addition to adding filters, it can also add stickers, mosaics, etc. Let's take a look at two big movies made with the vivo X9 front camera and the mobile phone's own image editor!

I took a selfie with my roommate during the break. They looked at their watery eyes and were intoxicated for a long time, ha ha.

[1600w can also produce blockbusters]

The vivo X9 uses a 1600w rear camera. Although the front dual camera is far more popular than it, it does not affect the effect of mobile blockbusters.

The rear camera of the vivo X9 is no inferior to the front camera in imaging. The image quality is clear and delicate, and the color is more beautiful than the actual, but not distorted. The exposure of the picture is accurate, the white balance is accurate, and the tolerance is relatively high. The picture taken after HDR is turned on will be more detailed, and the color of the trees will be more realistic. The close-up shot by manual adjustment in the professional photography mode is also very clear. With the later filter modification, would you be surprised that the mobile phone can also produce such photos?

The rear camera also performs well when taking portraits. The color reproduction is good, but the face is slightly red.

Motion picture

In addition, the camera also has a function to take dynamic pictures, similar to LIVE in iPhone 7 camera. The final saved format is MP4 format. The author here converts it to gif image for display.

[The system is slightly changed and still smooth]

The X9 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 CPU, 4G RAM+64G ROM, and vivo's latest generation of smart engine. The mobile phone system is as smooth as ever. At first glance, the Fontouch OS 3.0 system developed based on Android 6.0 seems to have changed a little. For example, the color matching and layout of the notice bar are closer to the mobile phone theme, and the background interface also uses the background management form of paging display, which is more intuitive than the previous version. In general, the whole system interface gives people a more comfortable and simple visual experience than before.

Today's children are more fashionable than ever and more receptive to new electronic products. Parents are always worried that their children will become addicted to mobile tablets and that important data and information will be deleted by mistake. FuntouchOS3.0 has added a new child mode, which can set the use time limit, allowed apps, etc. After the child mode is turned on, all data, information, and programs on the phone cannot be transferred or deleted, and the system will automatically turn on the global eye protection mode, which can save parents a lot of worry.

Some minor improvements have also been made in the file management function. Some exclusive applications (such as QQ and WeChat) can be extracted from the file management, and QQ and WeChat pictures can be viewed directly for management and encryption.

The newly added SMS intelligent recognition function is also a icing on the cake for Funtouch OS 3.0. It can automatically identify SMS messages containing verification codes and copy them with one click, and can identify SMS messages containing meeting notices. It can also create a schedule or display it in the calendar with one click. It will also be helpful for student cadres or business people at work.

Other functions, such as split screen multitasking, application separation, audio editing, super screenshots, and smart body feel, have also been widely praised by the Fontouch OS system along the way. I believe that friends who have used vivo mobile phones have had good experiences, and I will not repeat them here.

The author has used the vivo Xplay5A for some time. If I want to say that the vivo phone has always brought me the greatest convenience, I must flash charge the two engines, because I am the only person in the dormitory who abandoned the power bank and never shouted that the phone consumes too much power. The X9 is equipped with a high-density 3050mA large capacity battery, and it supports dual engine flash charging without accident. When the remaining power is 7%, it can be fully charged in less than two hours. The power will increase by 10%~15% every ten minutes until it reaches 90%, and the charging rate will slow down.

As a female student, I usually use my mobile phone to watch TV, listen to music, read novels, take selfies, and play small games such as ball games, fun and fun. According to the author's use, because of the ECO energy-saving engine, the X9 consumes electricity slowly every day. It can basically be used for a whole day, and there is no obvious heating during use. Temperature control is still good.

[HiFi continues good sound quality]

The vivo, which used to use HiFi sound quality as the selling point of mobile phones, this time, like the X7, the vivo X9 is equipped with AK4376 audio chip, which is considered to be at the upper middle level. Many people say that as the next generation product of X7, X9 has not been updated on the audio chip, which is really disappointing. However, the author thinks that the X9 official website quoted 2798 RMB (64G ROM), which is only 300 different from the X7 price, but it is not easy to have such a big improvement on the camera. If you work harder on the audio chip, the price will rise, and it is estimated that the audio chip will be crowned with the name of "false high price" again.

The author used the standard XE680 headset to listen to the songs Fiancee and Dance in the Wind. Wearing XE680 earphones to listen to X9, I found that the sound field performance and sound insulation effect are both good. The sound is diving feet, the drum sound is clear, the voice is clear, and the performance is good in low and medium frequencies. However, because it is a semi earphone, the author will feel a little uncomfortable after wearing it for a long time.

[At the end]

In this era when mobile phones and other electronic products are updated very quickly, perhaps in a few months, Xplay7 and X10 will also come. Looking back at the people around them, it is no longer the era when iPhone and Samsung are the only ones. Vivo has gradually become a popular mobile phone from the previous "music phone" to "soft light self timer plus good sound quality".

The author has experienced the vivo X9 these days and is quite impressed with its design and functions——

1. The ultra narrow frame, streamlined metal body design, and U-shaped antenna, although not unique in design, are also very popular.

2. The front dual camera soft light selfie can withstand the test of backlight, weak light, fluorescent light, darkness and other environments, and it really outperforms many mobile phones in terms of camera.

3. The design of Funtouch OS has been innovated, with new functions such as child mode, exclusive file management, SMS intelligent recognition, etc., which is the icing on the cake for X9.

4. Although there is no update on the audio chip, the sound quality is not inferior to the past, and it is completely worthy of the latest brand sub logo "Camera&Music".
