Vivo X Fold2 evaluation: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 folding screen from 8999 yuan

Vivo X Fold2, its first vertical folding screen vivo X Flip and new tablet vivo Pad2 were released together on April 20. One year later, vivo's folding screen is still the peripheral stacking route, but this time, vivo X Fold2 became the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the first folding screen mobile phone supporting 120W fast charging, and still the only one with internal and external ultrasonic fingerprints, starting at 8999 yuan.

Appearance&feel

Vivo's full range of skin materials+very high weight packaging can tell you at a glance that the contents are very expensive.

The original mobile phone case made of hard shell material has transparent sides and plain skin as the main body. Even we, the owners of Shenzhen Bay No.1, who read countless machines, are the first to see how rich the original factory shell is.

The charging head is an old friend of Jinhu OEM V12060L0A0-CN. It has a 120W C port and is compatible with 65W PD/PPS. It can charge laptops and is environmentally friendly.



"The combination design of two instruments and ten thousand images", under the glass on the right side, there are lines like waves/marble, advanced!

The lens circle has dense lines processed by CNC (it looks more obvious on the gold circle of the black version), Can be used as a nail file

I think it is more handsome and advanced than the previous generation.


Two stage mute button with strong business flavor ↑


The thickness of single side of vivo X Fold2 is thinner than that of X90, which is already light and thin. In the folded state, the length and width will be smaller ↑

The bright metal middle frame+frosted shaft cover plate and dual speakers are on the outer half of the screen, and the plastic washer on the plain leather edge is well connected.

External release: The double loudspeaker has a large volume and good sound quality. The upper loudspeaker is not weak. The overall sound field is in the middle. At the maximum volume, the external screen has a strong resonance (after all, it is the screen).

Motor: The vibration force is weak and the compactness is ordinary.

Internal and external ultrasonic fingerprint: It used to be the only one, but now it is still the only one. It is estimated that it will be the only one within one year... Now it is like ordinary optical fingerprints, which use multiple presses to complete fingerprint entry (previously it was completed by one press). I was not satisfied with the ultrasonic fingerprint because of a single press before, and now I can unlock it in seconds, ultrasonic fingerprint approval!!! Ultrasonic fingerprint SEGO!!! No refutation!!!

feel: Although it is far from the record of friends, the vivo X Fold2 is 33g lighter than the previous generation of 311g. With a plain leather back cover and a single curved screen, the body feel has been significantly improved (the red/blue leather version weighs 278.5g, and the black glass version is 279.5g).

Folding screen

Vivo X Fold2 supports hovering, and the hovering angle is huge. Large angle shooting bracket √


The crease control is quite good, and the crease area is small and shallow. Anti reflective film is delivered from the factory.


Typical water drop hinge ↑

Vivo X Fold2 claims to be an aerospace level water drop hinge. It has received 400000 Rhine folding worry free certification. It claims that the flatness has been improved by 40%, and 100kg people can't sit well (the official said that we can't find such a weight in the Shenzhen Bay Office):

It is still the hinge texture familiar to Blue Factory. After closing, it fits perfectly. It can only be opened with a little force. The "snap" sound when closing is still decompressed. I would like to call it the folding screen phone with the best closing sound this year.


Objective test

Vivo X Fold2 inner screen is a 8.03 inch 120Hz Samsung E6 LTPO flexible screen (upper right "center" punching), 2160x1916960Hz dimming (the frequency encountered for the first time), with a peak value of 1800nit, anti reflective coating, and support for Dolby Vision+HDR10+.

External screen 6.53 "120Hz Samsung E62520x1080, single screen, peak 1600nit.

The default is the ancestral method lock 120Hz touch sampling rate.

The uniformity of the two Samsung E6 screens is quite good. The maximum brightness of the manual full white screen is 3 nits different from that of the external screen and 7 nits different from that of the internal screen.

Manual full white brightness, local brightness and other data are stronger than the previous generation of friends and their own.

The professional mode color accuracy and grayscale of the internal and external screens are both very good, but the quality of the internal screen is relatively stronger (the level of eye protection is also).


Vivo X Fold2 is the first and only Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 folding screen mobile phone, 2558mm ² VC soaking plate, LPDDR5x memory+UFS 4.0 flash memory.

The actual play is the normal flagship of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. RAR multithreading is still the feature of the Blue Factory Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The GPU play is also better than the straight flagship of some friends.


Double bake for 10 minutes ↑


But the most amazing thing is the thermal stability and performance mode of vivo X Fold2.

Room temperature 25.1 ℃, 200 nit screen brightness, 3DMark Wild Life Ulimited test, stability 99.8%; Wild Life Extreme Ulimited test, stability 97.4%.

The thermal stability of vivo X Fold2 is very exaggerated. Even with a plain leather back cover, its stability still exceeds that of most Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 straight board flagship.


At this time, the maximum temperature is 51 degrees, which appears under the camera. This training is quite a "game phone", Zhuo! The performance output of the folding screen phone has turned around!

And because the system defaults to the side of the outer screen at the bottom when the screen is horizontal, and the hands avoid the heat source, the game phone will have to shout - too Gan!


While vivo X Fold2 played Peace Elite (HDR HD+limited frames+anti aliasing) for 30 minutes, the maximum temperature was only 37.2 degrees, extremely calm, and totally despised this load.


The endurance performance of vivo X Fold2 is satisfactory, and its actual performance is similar to that of the previous generation with similar battery capacity.

4800mAh battery, 200 nit screen brightness, and internal and external screens were tested respectively. After 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR high-definition+limit frames+anti aliasing), 30 minutes of 1080P video playback on station B, 30 minutes of microblog short video, 30 minutes of Wi Fi and 5G surfing, a total of 2.5 hours of endurance test, the remaining power of the external screen was 75%, and the remaining power of the internal screen was 68%.


Peak charging power is close to 91W ↑


The 1% to 100% charging of vivo X Fold2 takes 26 minutes, and the charging is cut off in 28 minutes.

The speed is a section of the 80 W fast charging X Fold+and 67 W fast charging Find N2 block. In addition to the 50W wireless charger, to some extent, it makes up for the disadvantage of the folding screen in the endurance.


photograph

The image part of vivo X Fold2 is very close to that of vivo X90, and there is also a vivo V2 image chip. Their core difference is the ISP of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Tianji 9200 and their respective supporting algorithms. It is equivalent to precisely controlling variables. Let's compare Vivo's training level of Qualcomm and MediaTek SoC:

  • 5000W IMX866, 1/1.49 inch, 1 μ m, RGBW, F1.75+OIS, 7P lens

  • Ultra wide angle, 1200W, IMX663, 1/2.93 inch, 1.22 μ m, F2.0

  • 2x telephoto, 1200W, IMX663, 1/2.93 inch, 1.22 μ m

  • Inside and outside front hi6341600W, 1 μ m, 1/3 inch, F2.45

Previous generation main camera GN5+F1.75+OIS. 114 ° ultra wide angle IMX598, 2x telephoto IMX663, and 800W F3.4 5x periscope telephoto.

This generation of ultra wide-angle IMX663 does not have a great impact (the bottom is placed on the ultra wide-angle, and the income is significantly lower than the main camera and telephoto). The main reason is that it is heartbreaking to lose 5 times of periscope telephoto, but people always look forward, right.

The detailed conclusion is that, Qualcomm platform is stronger.

The vivo X90 noise reduction paint on Fage platform will be more forceful, with a heavier sense of oil painting, and it is easy to be "sandwiched". Click the shutter continuously, and after 3 photos, there will probably be incomplete samples.

The vivo X Fold2 of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has a powerful dark side brightening, returning to the traditional flavor of vivo. However, the smearing algorithm is not so hard, and some noise is retained. The picture is relatively natural, the oil painting feeling is not so heavy, and the details are retained slightly better. Then, I don't know whether the algorithm has changed or the computing power is different. Vivo X Fold2 doesn't have any "sandwich" phenomenon, just click the shutter.

The color wind direction of the two machines is very close, but the contrast/tone difference is large.


System experience

In hover mode, the lower half of the screen can be used as a touch pad. The "tent posture" (not fully unfolded, then inverted fork on the desktop) can also be automatically switched to the outer screen ↑

However, the most important improvement of the vivo X Fold2 generation is the addition of a permanent bottom taskbar ↓


It can keep the shortcut of split screen application, and the top bar can quickly turn the apps on both sides.

Although the official didn't mention it, the vivo X Fold2 also has one side screenshots (only one side will be screenshots when three fingers slide down on one side).

For example, the remote control PC function (the lower half of the screen is used as a touch panel) is very useful for going out temporarily in case of emergency (if you remember this function).


Because of the bottom taskbar (long press to hide and call out), it is very convenient to switch the APP and drag the APP to split the screen. At most 4 apps can be opened on the same screen ↑, even the floating window has become 2 ↓



This taskbar also has its own "Start Menu" ↓


Because the left part is the original Dock bar, it can also be used to place folders (it becomes a sortable start menu) ↓

Although the task bar of vivo X Fold2 is a bit "star in the star", it is really much more comfortable after the task bar is available for large screen devices.

If the taskbar can also be displayed on the desktop by default, the smoothness of opening more apps can be improved, or it would be better to directly provide a 16GB memory version.


summary

As we all know, vivo's new machine is like laying eggs. The first generation of vivo folding screen, vivo X Fold, has just turned one year old (released on April 11, 22 years), but now vivo has three flagship horizontal folding screens.

What surprised me most about vivo X Fold2 was its performance output comparable to that of a game phone, and the only 120W fast charge in the folding screen (Blue Factory is the manufacturer that treats 120W fast charge equally). I would like to call it the game phone in the folding screen! Then came the new taskbar, and finally lost 33g of weight.

The rest looks like a stronger screen, and the consistent subjective performance of BlueWorks is expected. However, the endurance remains unchanged, and the weakened telephoto and ultra wide-angle are the cost of weight reduction. But returning to USB 2.0, I really can't touch my hair.

To sum up, despite the price, the product power of vivo X Fold2 is OK. But in the past year, the flagship of the folding screen of the friend company has been rolled twice. The Blue Factory needs to refuel.
