Last night at 19:00, vivo officially held a new product launch conference with the theme of "Double-sided soft light to illuminate you and me", bringing three brand new mobile phones in the vivo S series, namely vivo S16, vivo S16 Pro and vivo S16e. The release of the vivo S16 series means that vivo's portrait photography has made greater progress. Of course, performance and design have also made significant progress.
Speaking of portrait photography, it has always been the strength of the vivo S series. From the S1 series to the vivo S16 series, the vivo S series has been transforming, directly upgraded from "illuminating your beauty" to "illuminating my beauty", and then to the current "illuminating you and me". One of the biggest highlights of the portrait photography of the vivo S16 series is the first double-sided soft light portrait, which allows the front and rear cameras to be illuminated by soft light when shooting portraits. It can also easily handle shooting in extreme dark light environments, so that you will not miss every memorable scene.
With the blessing of dual soft lights on the front and rear, it is much better than ordinary mobile phones for shooting portraits. The official claim of portrait light is not exaggerated. Of course, in order to cover the front and rear with soft light portraits, vivo S16 has put in a lot of effort. It pioneered the original color soft light ring, which integrates dynamic light control, nano-level soft light technology, and super-sensitive portrait systems. It brings a breakthrough of natural, realistic, and studio-level portrait fill light. This is a system-level technology, and it is not as simple as adding lights.
By comparing the pictures, it is easy to find that the vivo S16 series with the soft light turned on perfectly reflects the details of the model's skin and face, while with other phones with the flash turned on, the model's face turns yellow and lacks luster. What you need to know is that the front-facing fill light of the vivo S16 series has been greatly upgraded, because it not only needs a built-in fill light, but also has the narrowest screen black borders of the S series to date. To this end, vivo engineers have gone through hundreds of versions of simulated light paths and more than a dozen versions of hardware iterations. Finally, they cleverly guided the light path to the outside on four curved surfaces, creating "Micro-slit Fill Light 2.0". With a 6000k white color temperature, fill light can make skin texture more delicate.
In addition to soft-light portraits, the vivo S16 series has also been fully upgraded in terms of imaging system. The entire series comes standard with outsole sensor + OIS optical image stabilization . The front camera supports automatic focus tracking technology. The vivo S16 Pro has a customized 50-megapixel IMX766V sensor at the rear. As for the front camera, the entire vivo S16 series uses a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 sensor, which is a sensor used in many flagship phones for rear cameras and supports 4K 60-frame video recording.
Portrait photography is the biggest highlight of the vivo S16 series, but the phone is more than that. First of all, in terms of performance, the vivo S16 series is powered by the Snapdragon 870/Dimensity 8200. The AnTuTu running score is as high as 780,000/900,000 points. The powerful performance can handle all games. In addition, the appearance and feel of the vivo S16 series are also very good, especially the new Yanruyu color scheme. vivo adopts a new jade glass process, so that the glass back shell can also have a jade-like warm and moist feel. The whole machine weighs 182g and is 7.36mm thin, which further improves the hand feel. In terms of battery life, the entire vivo S16 series has a built-in 4600mAh battery + 66W fast charge, which can charge to half of the battery in 19 minutes, alleviating battery life anxiety.
