Surface to beauty, flagship experience - vivo Xplay5 experience

For the vivo phone, after the release of a very concerned about, mainly because of the piece of curved screen. As the first Chinese manufacturer to release mobile phones with curved screens, what are the differences in the specific look, feel and experience?


The beauty of the surface

In fact, the curved screen is not a new design. A few years ago, the LG G Flex introduced by LG has adopted the design of the curved surface. However, the surface design of the concave surface of the screen can be said to be a failure because of the feedback from the market. Later, Samsung began to experiment with the edge of the screen to design the surface of ideas, after several years of trials, and finally in the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge to achieve the pragmatic and aesthetic considerations, accepted by the market. It should be noted that even though Samsung has been practicing for several years, the technical requirements and production cost of this 3D screen are still very high, so vivo has adopted a curved screen on its own flagship bank that has been reluctantly tried for two years, and it also confirms the flagship of vivo Xplay5. Status and vivo sincerity.

In the context of the lack of overall innovation in the smart phone industry, curved screens are a design that can produce significant differences in selling points, even if this design has been played for Samsung for a year. The first impression of getting Xplay 5 is exquisite and three-dimensional. The exquisiteness comes from vivo's high quality design and workmanship. The three-dimensionality comes from this curved screen.

Because the screen edge is inwardly concave, the Xplay5's screen will give the user an illusion that the entire body is not on the same plane, and naturally, it will also have a strong three-dimensional appearance, and then the impact will bring about. The sense of three-dimensionality will make consumers interested in this phone instantly, and with the flicker of the physical store buyer, consumers are likely to buy the phone. In addition, this three-dimensional effect will make the screen look more prominent and eye-catching, in the micro-letter, brush microblogging, watching videos will bring a more direct look and feel and content closer.

Asked some friends who are using the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge or the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge around, they have expressed some helplessness about the problem of the surface of the curved screen that is easy to touch. However, according to my experience during this period of time, Xplay5 basically did not experience inadvertent situations, and the key part of typing is basically in the front part of the screen, and the surface part is very few, so the typing efficiency is not compared to the curved screen. Too much difference.

However, due to the exquisite surface of the curved screen, the black borders on both sides of the screen appear somewhat inconsistent, even if the black border itself is already very narrow.

Xplay5 also adds a layer of plastic between the edge of the screen and the middle frame of the metal. When the finger slides along the curved surface of the screen to the frame, there will be a noticeable split between the curved screen and the frame. However, the benefit is that when the collision occurs, the middle plastic layer can provide a certain degree of buffering, so that the screen is protected.

Compared with the frontal “song”, the “flat” on the back brings a very open feeling. It is still a classic three-segment design in vivo. The more elaborate nano-injection antenna and zircon sand coating process make the look and texture have Double leap. Xplay5 uses aluminum-magnesium alloy all-metal integrated fuselage, the whole body without any splice, the metal accounted for 98%.

The metal high-gloss trimming makes the metal's cut-off feel less noticeable during gripping, visually adding a sense of agility to the metal body.

Xplay5 This screen is Samsung's custom Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2K. The actual look and feel of this screen is transparent and natural, and there is no obvious coldness or warmth. The overall color saturation is a bit more pleasing. It is a lovable style that looks at first sight.

However, I did not find the setting for adjusting the screen heating and cooling options for a long time. Because the preference for color is a very individual choice, the original color display style of the mobile phone is difficult to adapt to everyone, and I hope that vivo can upgrade ROM in the procedure. Join the screen cooling and heating adjustment function to meet the individual needs of consumers. In the actual display effect, this hyperboloid has a more pronounced saturation orientation, which naturally means that it is quite good for eyeballs.

Xplay5 supports dual card dual standby full Netcom and 4G+, which is the standard for smart phones this year. In addition, this phone also has 128G of large memory, such a large space should be able to meet the needs of everyone!

Simply enough to use Funtouch OS

The Xplay5 is equipped with the Funtouch OS system. Unfortunately, Funtouch OS 2.5 is based on Android 5.1. The Funtouch OS has not changed much in recent years, and it is basically perfected in details, such as the fluency, security, and power consumption of the system, which can directly affect the user experience.

In the past, there was a chance to experience Funtouch OS. This time using Xplay5, the biggest feeling was that Funtouch OS 2.5's i-manager had a tremendous increase in both aesthetics and functionality. Third-party application management is more rigorous, which is also directly reflected in the i-housekeeper. i stewards have made significant progress in various aspects such as garbage cleanup, background memory optimization, software authority management, and power monitoring.

Funtouch OS 2.5's split-screen multitasking feature continues from vivo X6 to Xplay5. After opening this function, when watching videos, if Wechat/QQ has new messages, the screen will pop up the WeChat/QQ icon, which can be activated after pulling out. The temporary dialog box allows you to quickly view and respond to messages without exiting the video playback program and without interrupting the video.

Xplay5's application avatar function is very practical. Open the application avatar function in the settings, you can clone a new App, the two do not affect each other. This is very practical for friends who have several QQ numbers or micro-signals at the same time. There is no need to bring two mobile phones. I guess that this feature is likely to become the standard for Android smartphones, provided of course that Tencent does not block this behavior.

Enjoy the photo experience

Xplay series as vivo's top flagship series, will naturally not take pictures. Xplay5 front adopts 8 million pixel camera with F/2.4 and 16 million pixels Sony IMX298 sensor with F/2.0 rear. The sensor size is 1/2.8 inch and the pixel area is 1.12 micrometers. It supports phase PDFA phase focusing. In terms of mobile imaging, my usual practice is to forget parameters and directly sample:

From the proofs, it can be seen that the white balance of the Xplay5 imaging is accurate, and the overall color tends to be slightly more gorgeous. Remind me, because Xplay5's screen is AMOLED screen, its color is more beautiful, so look at the phone and import the computer to see a certain color, pay attention to this more concerned friends.

The Xplay5 nighttime imaging style tends to pursue the brightness of the overall picture, so there will be some loss in detail. Night imaging is also the place where smartphones are always looking for breakthroughs. Xplay5 pursues the overall brightness adjustment without any problem. It is just a surprise that the flagship mobile phone is not equipped with optical image stabilization.

The Sony IMX298 sensor is currently Sony's most high-end sensor. Almost all flagship phones in the first half of this year use this sensor. So imaging with Xplay5 doesn't have to worry, but it won't be too fine.

Performance and life

Xplay5 uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, which is Qualcomm's flagship mid-to-high-end processor. It uses four Cortex-A72 and four Cortex-A53 cores to integrate the Adreno 510 and X8 LTE modems. An Bunny's run is divided into 81,246 points, although it is not as good as the Qualcomm Xiaolong 820's 100,000 points +, it can be considered an outstanding result. The actual experience with 2K resolution is still smooth, because no hesitation of the 820 can be purchased by a friend, and the performance can fully meet the normal use.


Vivo Xplay3S should be the world's first mobile phone with a 2K resolution screen. Two years later, the 2K resolution has not yet become mainstream. Apart from the end of the arms race boom, the most important reason is that the 2K resolution user experience is not Obvious, but there is a clear increase in power consumption. The Xplay5's battery capacity is 3600mAh, and there is no system for endurance testing. However, as a medium-sized smartphone user, the use of one day can persist until 9pm, which is a good result.

Xplay5 official promotion of their own charging technology called "double engine flash charge" charging technology, in fact, is based on Qualcomm QC 2.0 fast charging technology. The standard charger's maximum power is 18W (9V/2A) power charging output. The actual test can charge about 15% for 10 minutes, and can charge close to 50% for 30 minutes. This result is a qualified result in fast charging.


Still a high level of Hi-Fi

Hi-Fi has become one of the hallmarks of the vivo mobile phone. It can be said that vivo is pushing the progress of Hi-Fi. The experience of the Xplay5 standard version uses the CS4398 decoder chip +AD45257 op amp chip, is still the current mobile phone Hi-Fi strongest hardware configuration.

Compared to the standard version, the Xplay5 Ultimate uses the latest Hi-Fi 3.0 architecture, two ES9028 decoder chips and three OPA1612 op amp chips, respectively, to handle the left and right channels, which is very much expected.

to sum up

Xplay5, as the flagship of Vivo's two-year commitment, is a vision of Vivo's further breakthrough. China's first curved screen, 2K screen, 128G large memory, and so on, first in the hardware sincerity, but the hardware is only basic. From the surface screen can be seen vivo has been the spirit of exploration, vivo in their efforts to get themselves out of a single hardware competition in the Red Sea, the vivo brand value is greater than the hardware value.

Unfortunately, Xplay5 uses a more rugged traditional design on the border, making it a little worse on the touch, if the metal frame can be handled on the extreme, perhaps this product will be able to better explain the vivo Self-revolutionary spirit. In terms of software, there is currently no functional design for curved screens, which makes the curved screens merely of ornamental value. It is hoped that the Ultimate Screen will be able to implement the functions of curved screens when it is listed.
