In vivo’s product line, the S series has always represented vivo’s understanding of portrait photography. From the earliest LED fill light to the later soft light , the vivo S series strives to make every shot reflect its own personality and make the shot more beautiful.
vivo S16 Pro
When many users think of the vivo S series, they subconsciously associate it with "selfie", especially the classic advertising slogan "illuminate your beauty", which achieves a leap in selfie experience in the name of light. However, portrait photography is not just about "selfies". Vivo also chose to open up the landscape at the end of 2022, achieving a breakthrough in portrait photography through the new vivo S16 Pro, using double-sided soft light to illuminate you and me.
vivo S16 Re-understand "Light and Portraits"
Photography is an art of light and shadow. Good portraits are indispensable with the help of "light". With the help of computational photography and software algorithms, it is not difficult to take a beautiful and natural selfie with a smartphone. However, when taking selfies in complex light or even at night, it is affected by the environment and it takes a lot of effort to take a wonderful night scene selfie.
vivo S16 Pro is equipped with dual front-facing soft lights
vivo S16 Pro gives us the answer to “create light”. It has two soft light lights on the top of the fuselage. When taking selfies at night, the screen will also turn on the "soft light ring". The clever combination of the two can provide more uniform light. Compared with the simple screen fill light, the combination of soft light ring + soft light can create a more three-dimensional light, and you can also get a natural-looking picture when taking selfies at night.

As you can see from the sample, vivo S16 Pro can also give us the best look and feel in dark light environments. On the one hand, this benefits from the selfie algorithm developed by vivo for many years, and on the other hand, it benefits from the constantly iterative soft light. The brand-new soft light can produce light with a color temperature of 6000K, which can make the skin color look fairer and more natural when shining on the face, greatly improving the look and feel of the film.
vivo S16 Pro uses a 50-megapixel JN1 photosensitive element
With light, it also needs "eyes" to capture the light. The vivo S16 Pro uses a 50-megapixel JN1 sensor. During daily shooting, it will output a high-quality photo through a four-in-one pixel method. At the same time, this lens also has an AF autofocus motor and dual super PD focus, which ensures that you can take clear pictures with just one shot through faster focusing.
As the slogan "Illuminate you and me" says, vivo S16 Pro not only wants to illuminate you and me through the front soft light, but also hopes to illuminate others through the rear lens light.
Flash has become a standard feature of smartphones, but we still use it as a flashlight most of the time. The reason is mostly because the light of mobile phone flash is "hard". The bright parts of the photos taken with flash are clear enough, but the shadows are also heavy. The contrast of the picture looks too strong. Moreover, the color of the flash sometimes cannot be restored to the true facial skin color, and it is easy to take a "pale" picture.
vivo S16 Pro adopts “Original Color Soft Halo”
The “Original Color Soft Halo” on the back of vivo S16 Pro was created to solve these shooting problems. It can turn a point light source into an area light source and let the light hit farther. At the same time, vivo also re-customized the diffuser of the S16 Pro and used three different processes in a limited space. The center and outer ring of the lampshade are cut with diamonds to generate fine Fresnel patterns to focus the light. The outer ring is matte sandblasted to soften the light. The upper and lower parts of the soft light ring are covered with reflective films to make the overall illumination more uniform. And in order to achieve high-accuracy color reproduction, vivo S16 starts from the light source, which has a broad visible spectrum and a high color rendering index like a fluorescent lamp, making skin color reproduction more realistic and vivid.
It is not enough to have soft light with more accurate colors. Vivo also hopes that this area will be more intelligent, that is, it can dynamically adjust the brightness according to different environments.This time, the soft light of vivo S16 Pro supports dynamic precision light control technology, which can automatically detect the intensity of external light and dynamically control the number of lights to achieve natural portrait photos in different environments.

After getting vivo S16 Pro, I strongly recommend that you select "Low Light Portrait" in "Style" to shoot. It can make full use of the original color soft light ring on the back to provide more natural light for the face in dim environments. In addition, vivo has also fully optimized night scene portraits. The new algorithm can create a warm-toned atmosphere in dim environments. With a unique warm yellow halo, it can also bring us a touch of warmth in winter.

Of course, vivo S16 Pro can take clear and natural portraits in dark light environments, and it cannot do without the support of a powerful imaging system. The main camera of vivo S16 Pro uses IMX766V sensor, which has strong photosensitivity and supports OIS optical image stabilization . Even handheld shooting in low-light environments is clear enough.
Through front and rear double-sided soft light portraits, vivo S16 Pro gives its own understanding of "light and portraits". By creating soft light, vivo S16 Pro lowers the shooting threshold for the special scene of "night scene portraits", further achieving "no limits" in creation and improving the efficiency of creation, which is precisely the embodiment of vivo's "user orientation".
Gives new life to glass
From the earliest polycarbonate to metal and then to glass, the backplane materials of smartphones continue to evolve, which also gives us more expectations for a "good look" and "good feel".
vivo S16 Pro “Yan Ruyu”
From the perspective of appearance, the main color of vivo S16 Pro “Yan Ruyu” is quite unique. It uses innovative technology to restore the warm and moist texture of jade on the glass. By using a low-saturation light cyan color, the back panel of the whole machine looks like blue and white jade , which is full of natural aura.
Finding inspiration in nature can give new life to the back panel of the fuselage, and vivo S16 Pro Yan Ruyu adds another color to the back panel through technology. Under the sun's rays, the back panel of vivo S16 Pro will also show color changes like a green mountain, and the two colors of jade are integrated into one mobile phone.
vivo S16 Pro "Yan Ruyu" supports photochromism
We often use "moist and moist like jade" to describe a mobile phone that has a good hand feel, and this "moisturizing feeling" on the glass level is indispensable for the fine polishing of the glass. This time, the back panel of the vivo S16 Pro has been treated with 14 layers of nano-coating, which creates a clearer texture on the glass surface. This time, vivo has further reduced the thickness of the body. The thickness of the whole machine is only 7.36mm, and the weight is 182g. Coupled with the slightly curved arc that is comfortable and comfortable in the hand, it creates a light and thin grip without losing texture.

Smartphones should be the most frequently used electronic devices for many people on a daily basis, and a product that can "integrate into life" is indispensable for a burden-free use experience. It not only continues the advantages of the S series, being thin and portable, but also brings jade containing vitality and power into the mobile phone, which also makes people feel friendly.
Dimensity 8200 brings a stable and smooth user experience
When thinking of vivo’s S series, many people will subconsciously think of words such as “selfie” and “portrait”. However, all of this also needs to be based on strong performance. In fact, the current replacement cycle of smartphones is constantly increasing, and more and more consumers are beginning to choose a more durable and longer-life mobile phone. Therefore, a mobile phone also needs to provide sufficient performance redundancy to meet the complex needs of consumers.
vivo S16 Pro is equipped with Dimensity 8200
This time, vivo S16 Pro chose the latest chip in 2022-Dimensity 8200.This chip uses TSMC's 4nm process and has an A78 performance core clocked at 3.1GHz, three A78 performance cores clocked at 3.0GHz, and four A55 energy efficiency cores clocked at 2.0GHz. For the S series, the powerful performance and good energy efficiency of the Dimensity 8200 are enough to provide a stable and smooth usage experience. As can be seen from the score of 880,000 points, the vivo S16 Pro is sufficient to meet our daily rich usage needs.
vivo S16 Pro supports memory fusion + 8GB
In addition, this year vivo S16 Pro also supports the highest memory fusion + 8GB technology, which increases the virtual memory capacity to 8GB, enabling more applications to be kept alive. Coupled with the new in-place resurrection mechanism brought by OriginOS 3, background applications can also be quickly restored to the state before they were shut down.
The vivo S series focuses on being thin and light, but this does not affect the battery life performance. This time, the body of the vivo S16 Pro is thinner than the previous generation, but the battery capacity has been increased from 4500mAh to 4600mAh. This is also due to the new battery material technology. It uses a more precise stacking design, combined with a new customized cicada wing battery and higher-density high-voltage materials to ensure that more power can be accommodated in a smaller volume.

has a higher stacking degree, which also poses a higher test to the heat dissipation of the fuselage. In order to reduce the impact of hardware heating on the experience in heavy load environments, vivo S16 Pro uses a larger VC heat sink. In addition, vivo S16 Pro also has a customized exclusive thermal gel inside, which can better fit the heat source and have strong thermal conductivity to ensure that the temperature of the whole machine is within a reasonable range.
Reshaping "Portrait Culture"
Mobile phone images have become the most accessible means of "turning a moment into eternity". This "pick up and take a photo" experience has become increasingly easier and simpler with the iterative upgrades of smartphones.
vivo S16 Pro
The new vivo S16 Pro is the best partner for freezing beautiful things. It uses two micro-slit fill lights to give more possibilities for front-facing night shots. It also redefines the mobile phone fill light through the soft light ring, so that the rear fill light is no longer reduced to a flashlight for lighting. The emergence of vivo S16 Pro is a reshaping of "portrait culture". The double-sided soft light design not only illuminates you and me, but also illuminates a new way of thinking for mobile phone images in 2023.
