With today's fierce competition in the smartphone market, manufacturers, in addition to launching flagship models as benchmark works, have also made breakthroughs in various segments of the market, both online and offline. Our familiar vivo has launched a new 1000 yuan benchmark model - Z3, trying to make a breakthrough at the most competitive price of 1000~2000 yuan, So what about its strength?
Trendy look
Vivo's consistent design style is applied to the outer packaging. The pure white color matching, brand logo and model name are very simple. In addition to the instruction manual, charger and data cable, the transparent protective shell of vivo convention is also included.
The front of the vivo Z3 adopts a very popular special-shaped screen design, officially called "Smart Water Drop Screen". It is 6.3 inches in size, and the frame is only 1.75mm wide. The chin control is also very good, and the screen accounts for more than 90%. It can be said that it is excellent on this price model. Moreover, the properly designed water drop screen is acceptable even for users like the author, who hate "bangs" very much.
As for the design of the back, vivo Z3 is also ingenious. It uses the popular gradient design. The one we have is the starry night black color with blue black gradient. In addition, it is also provided with aurora blue and dream powder. This special mirror treatment process improves the texture of Z3.
The body buttons and interfaces are of conventional design. The left SIM card slot and the right volume key and power key are not equipped with any elements on the top, while the bottom is equipped with earphone hole, microphone, microUSB interface and speaker.
Vivo Z3 can be said to be the best at the same price in terms of appearance design. It has an excellent proportion of screens. At the same time, the design of the water drop screen also makes the whole more acceptable. The gradient color matching on the back is full of fashion, which can be said to fit the current consumer's aesthetic preferences. In addition to Vivo's consistent excellent workmanship, the texture is also gratifying.
Fine LCD screen
Vivo Z3 does not use the fingerprint design below the screen on the flagship model. Instead, it uses back fingerprint recognition. At the same time, this screen is also converted from OLED to traditional LCD screen. Take a look at the parameters of vivo Z3: 6.3 inch In cell screen, 19:9 ratio, 2280x1080 resolution. Book data is the current mainstream level. What's the actual performance?
The objective test results show that the default color temperature of vivo Z3 screen is 8151K, which belongs to the cold tuning for domestic users; The maximum brightness is 432 nits, and the color gamut covers more than 100% sRGB and 82.5% DCI-P3; The average DeltaE is 4.6 in sRGB color gamut, and 5.2 when switching to DCI-P3. In general, the performance of this screen of Z3 is not unexpected, and it belongs to the normal level of this price. It is commendable that Z3 does not use OLED screen with the current trend. At the same resolution, LCD screen currently has advantages over OLED in terms of fineness. In addition, there is no need to worry about PWM dimming that may affect vision, which has high appeal to some users.
Performance of sub flagship
On the SoC, vivo Z3 has selected Qualcomm's sub flagship products - Snapdragon 670 AIE and Snapdragon 710 AIE. Our version is the top version of Snapdragon 710 AIE+6G+128G. Briefly introduce the SoC of Snapdragon 710 AIE. For the first time, the same 10nm LPP process as that of Snapdragon 845 is used in non 800 series. The CPU part is based on the customized Kryo 360 core of Cortex-A75, which is composed of two main frequency 2.2GHz large cores and six 1.7GHz small cores; The GPU is the new Adreno 616. Official data shows that the graphics rendering speed of Snapdragon 660 AIE is 35% faster than that of Snapdragon 660 AIE; With AI Engine, Hexagon 685 DSP and other components, Snapdragon 710 AIE can be said to be a well deserved flagship product of Qualcomm.
From the actual score of vivo Z3, the Snapdragon 710 AIE is functioning normally, and the score of CPU and GPU has improved compared with the previous generation of Snapdragon 660 AIE, especially the GPU upgrade is quite obvious, which is a good thing for the increasingly demanding mobile games today, and the Snapdragon 710 AIE will be more comfortable in the face.
New features of the system
In addition to the SoC equipped with the sub flagship, the vivo Z3 also integrates all the components of infrared face recognition in such an extreme forehead, which is consistent with the more high-end models. It can be said that it is very conscientious. The measured infrared face recognition is also very fast. Thanks to the help of the hidden infrared light, it can basically be unlocked in seconds even at night or in dark light environment, which is highly practical.
The system is vivo's own FuntouchOS, based on Android 8.1, and the security patch has also been updated to October. At the same time, the vivo Z3 is equipped with a dual turbine acceleration engine composed of the system acceleration engine and the game acceleration engine, which ensures the smoothness of the system. The mobile game optimization options are also specially integrated in the system, which is absolutely a good thing for game lovers.
In the actual game test, with the help of good optimization and the sub flagship Snapdragon 710 AIE, vivo Z3 performs very well. Under the highest picture quality setting, Z3 can basically play King Glory at 60 frames and run smoothly; And the chicken eating wilderness operation can also be maintained at the level of 40 frames, ensuring that the equipment will not lead to failure to eat chicken.
Elevated photography
As for photography, vivo Z3 is also strong. The rear is equipped with AI intelligent dual camera, which uses a combination of 16 million+2 million. At the same time, AI intelligent recognition photography scenes are added in software, which can provide corresponding AI optimization schemes for different subjects such as portraits, food, scenery, and improve the photography effect. Of course, as a mid-range model positioned between 1000 and 2000 yuan, the imaging is naturally far away from the flagship model, but the vivo Z3 actually performs well, and can reach a satisfactory level in different scenes, whether in the day or night. For details, please refer to the following sample.
Excellent endurance
Vivo Z3 is equipped with a 3315mAh battery and Snapdragon 710 AIE, which should have good endurance performance from the hardware level. After 30 minutes of large-scale games, 30 minutes of WiFi and 4G Internet access and 30 minutes of local video playback, a total of 2 hours of typical endurance test, the remaining power of vivo Z3 is 81%. It can be seen that compared with the Snapdragon 660 AIE model with the same battery size, the endurance of the vivo Z3 has improved, which shows the progress of the Snapdragon 710 AIE.
In addition to maintaining good endurance, the vivo Z3 series is equipped with a standard dual engine flash charging head. Like its flagship model, the vivo dual engine flash charging technology with dual charging chips and dual charging circuits is used. It is officially announced that 30% of the battery can be charged in 20 minutes. The original charger (maximum power 10V/2.25A) and data cable were used for charging. It took 90 minutes to fully charge from 5% to 100%, meeting the user's occasional need for fast charging.
summary
With the launch of vivo Z3, players in the range of 1000~2000 yuan have added another top player. Besides good appearance design and secondary flagship hardware performance, features like infrared face recognition, AI dual photography, fast charging and so on have also been released. In addition to a certain gap between the extreme performance and the flagship model, the overall experience is not inferior and the cost performance is quite excellent. In particular, manufacturers such as Vivo that specialize in the offline market have launched cost-effective models at this price. It is conceivable that the competition is intense, and it is our consumers who will ultimately benefit.
