Preface
vivo The X product line, as a flagship series that has lasted for ten years, each generation insists on achieving innovation and breakthroughs in the field of professional imaging, and continues to lead the imaging technology exploration of domestic mobile phone flagships. After half a year, the X90 series replaced the X80 series and became the successor of the X product line with a fresh and beautiful appearance. Whether it is in terms of the pattern or the background, it is full.
Last fall, we said that the vivo X70 series was the work with the most extensive X product line, especially the X70 Pro+, which is true for both horizontal and vertical comparisons. This spring, this "most sufficient" definition was updated by the X80 series. Based on the dual flagships of the new Snapdragon 8 platform and the Dimensity 9000 platform, the vivo X80 series continues to maintain the generation system changes in various aspects such as image, screen, and soft assistance. Even the "first self-developed self-developed imaging chip V1+ makes Dimensity 9000 like a tiger" is also talked about. We say that vivo showed great sincerity to "X's decade", which is really because of this.
By October, vivo held its third annual video strategy launch conference, and we knew that vivo would soon launch a new video flagship as usual. Within vivo's new product line architecture strategy, the "X" sequence has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and both vertical and horizontally open up a broad dimension. Since X Fold and X Note, the self-characteristics that the traditional "X" sequence bearer work insisted on need to be further strengthened. In addition to the new form of folding screens and the new business scope of large screens, the task of continuing to present the "Shangpin Image Flagship" has made the X Digital Series a "famous person" - the X80 Series has completed its own tasks well before, and handed over to the X90 Series, with the right time, place and people.
This time, the vivo X90 series continues the strategy of the X80 series' dual flagship platform Snapdragon and Dimensity , covering the first Dimensity 9200 mentioned above, and also includes the Snapdragon's strongest Snapdragon 8 Gen2. However, in image configuration, people cannot find any shortcomings. This taste is very familiar. After all, the vivo X series has become a representative model of mobile phone images in the eyes of many consumers; and the vivo X80, which uses the Dimensity 9000 platform as the main sales force, also proves that as long as there is a good adjustment, "Fa Ge" can also achieve excellent results in high-end imaging products. The reality is that more consumers do not care much about or understand what kind of platform they are. The final result is the bottom line. Therefore, vivo's dual-platform strategy has become a "satisfactory platform" strategy. If you taste the sweetness, then continue to do it.

vivo X90 series features comparison
We talked about vivo X90 two days ago, and now we talked about vivo’s strongest new flagship vivo X90 Pro+, so we have talked about vivo’s strongest image, so far.
The charm of the image matrix
X90 Pro/Pro+ and Zeiss high-level concrete
High-level hardware system is the basis for achieving high-level image performance. Among the information disclosed in this link, we can clearly see three upgrades belonging to the flagship X90 Pro+. First of all, sensors, which are larger than GNV 1/1.3-inch area, will be adopted, with a photosensitive capacity increase of up to 77%. Then there is the upgrade of the lens module. Zeiss announced that it will jointly develop the lens module with vivo. In order to put this ultra-large bottom and have good imaging performance, only the deep participation of the lens manufacturer can have better results. The third upgrade is telephoto. The 8-megapixel telephoto module, which has been criticized for three generations, will eventually usher in an upgrade. In addition to pixel improvement, I wonder if Zeiss has also participated in the lens design?
Since its cooperation began in 2020, it has experienced the precipitation and evolution of many products (for example, the X70 series and the X60 series have maintained a strong "German camera" flavor, and the X series works in 2022 have undergone high-level adjustments in the details that meet their own characteristics). Zeiss' optical soul and vivo have been successfully integrated, forming a cooperation model, with both identification and practicality. As vivo's fourth collaboration with Zeiss (we both attribute the "third" of X Fold and X Note as the X80 series), the Zeiss optical attainments in the vivo X90 series have been re-concretized by vivo.After several generations of market precipitation, the "double blue combination" of Zeiss and vivo has increasingly shown its charm in detail, rather than the unattainable "Devilish metaphysics".
This time, the vivo X90 series, which also has Zeiss T* optical lens, has added a new "Zeiss Flare Portrait" style to the X80 series Zeiss lens package, which not only solves the common problem of hazy backlight shooting pictures, but also simulates Zeiss classic movie lenses, making halo vivid - optimizing the backlight algorithm, making the overall atmosphere and tone restored, showing a sense of high-end. In terms of interesting gameplay of
, the vivo X90 series has added a professional function in the field of scenery - Zeiss miniature blur, bringing the "Little Man Country" miniature landscape effect, and it can also superimpose the Zeiss classic blur effect. Basically, this is a way to handle in digitized axis shift lens.
Moreover, vivo also responds to users' demand for real color restoration, fine-tune the camera imaging saturation, and combines white balance, brightness and tone to achieve a natural and soft picture effect, highlighting the sense of color hierarchy, and has a more accurate performance in scenes and objects shooting such as food, flowers, building materials, and color boards and . We know that the human brain's judgment of color will be superimposed on subjective tendencies. This is the concept of "memory color" mentioned in both color science and art. It is not enough to restore the image, but it must also conform to our subjective cognition and psychological expectations. Based on user needs and understanding of memory colors, vivo has formed a unique style of "fresh", "bright" and "textured" - "vivo bright colors". It is the default color system of the X series, which is more pleasing and satisfies ordinary users' intuitive expression of images.
From an expert perspective, the Zeiss four-main camera of the X90 Pro+ is shocking enough to read it once: 50-megapixel 1-inch large-sole main camera IMX989, with OIS optical anti-shake ; 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle IMX598; 50-megapixel professional portrait IMX758, with OIS optical anti-shake and 2x optical zoom ; 64-megapixel periscopic telephoto OV64B, with OIS optical anti-shake and 3.5x optical zoom. This solution can be regarded as the top level of mass production that can be achieved in the mobile phone field at present.
The industry often says that the ultimate hardware accumulation is the preferred option for mobile phone manufacturers in the competition for image quality, and the most clear statement here is that "the bottom is bigger and the top is crushed to death." The main camera modules of the vivo X90 Pro+ and Pro versions use a one-inch sensor with the same size as cameras such as Sony Black Card. The area is 77% higher than the GNV of the previous generation X80 Pro and the overall photosensitive capacity is 43%. Although it is not a "start", it is also the "only two choices" so far. Moreover, IMX989 is not the first launch of vivo, but the definition of "deeply tuned Zeiss one-inch T* optical lens" is indeed a pioneering move by vivo. The main lens of
X90 Pro+ uses ultra-low dispersion and high transparency glass lens to form a 1G+7P lens module, making the imaging color details rich and delicate and the light expression more transparent. Moreover, ALC coating is used on the 7P lenses of this main camera. ALC sub-wavelength bionic structure coating - the lens module adopts moth eye bionic design , forming a nano-scale structure smaller than the visible wavelength on the lens surface. The sub-wavelength structure controls the refractive index of the surface, which reduces the reflectivity of the by 42.8% compared with the previous generation of ALD technology, achieving zero reflection of light. At the same time, the AOA miniaturized stacking process is assembled with high precision, so that the lens module perfectly matches the 1-inch sensor, achieving a large aperture of f/1.75.
This "glittering big eyes" has one purpose: the king of dark night. With the support of this 1-inch large sole, the Stagger HDR mode is better utilized, and it cooperates with the self-developed chip V2 to ensure HDR recording enhances the basic image quality of single-frame output and RAW output, and improves the level of professional image creation. For example, professional users have the strongest demands on high image quality. They not only require the ability to output SuperRAW in multiple frames, but also require the ISO and shutter speed to be controllable. On the X90 Pro+, we can output the multi-frame algorithm 14 Bit SuperRAW high-quality files retained by a 1-inch bottom (the amount of information is 16 times higher than that of 10 Bite RAW, and theoretically can carry 4.39 trillion color information and achieve a dynamic range of up to 15EV), and can automatically adjust the parameters adjustment effects of shutter, ISO and other parameters in the later stage.
In short, vivo has made great efforts to popularize imaging hardware and software technology to the entire series of products, and the X90 series is the beginning. Vivo has made two major strategies of joint innovation and independent innovation, allowing every ordinary consumer to easily enjoy a professional image experience. This is not easy and valuable. Because the "exclusive moment" brought by imaging leadership has made vivo popular for more than half a year (X80 series), the X90 series is about to create the advantage of vivo's image "the next decade", which itself is a concentrated reflection of vivo's courage and charm in laying the image matrix.
Portrait, the self-sublimation of professionalism and art
We all know that the vivo X series has been galloping on the "portrait photography" track for a long time and has achieved remarkable results. Until now, I still have friends around me who play "documentary street sweeping" with vivo X30 Pro, and the film rate is very high. You know, that was a "portrait photography artifact" three years ago. Not to mention the distant future, just in terms of the previous X80 series, its characteristics such as "studio-level textured portraits" and "textured portrait group photos" are also phenomenal tuning.
Therefore, Volkswagen has relatively high expectations for the X90 series' achievements in portrait shooting. Sure enough, vivo did not disappoint us either. It specially prepared an Sony IMX758 sensor for the X90 Pro+, which is specially used to achieve portrait shooting creations within 2x optical zoom. Compared with the IMX663 on the X80 series, from the logic of naming, we can feel that the new sensor will have a better performance (in fact, the IMX663 has been adjusted very well by vivo).
The so-called "it is easy to get high on the flat ground, but it is difficult to leap on the top of the mountain". The "difficulty" set by vivo for himself does require greater efforts to further further. Therefore, this Sony IMX758 sensor is not only used specifically for portrait photography, but also is the "global first". You see, because the X90 series is too generous, many people almost ignore the "global first" identity of IMX758 on the X90 Pro+. In terms of parameters, the IMX758 adopts a 40nm process with lower power consumption, with pixels upgraded to 50 million, and the module's light input increased by 76%. In addition, the IMX758 is equipped with F/1.6 maximum portrait lens aperture, supports OIS optical anti-shake and hardware-level Remosaic, which is comparable to the conventional 1/2 bottom we are familiar with.
With the auxiliary camera of IMX758, known as the "large aperture 50mm golden portrait focal lens", the X90 Pro+ has unprecedentedly "two lens configurations that independently deal with portrait photography". Whether it can achieve the current peak performance of portrait photography is from the perspective of the film itself, but vivo is so "loving" about this matter, which has released the determination to make people's photography go to the next level.
"Two configurations that independently deal with portrait photography" are in addition to the IMX758, the other one is the 64-megapixel periscope camera OV64B we are familiar with (in the past year or more, it has been used in many image phones from competitors and performed well). Its 3.5 times FOV can reflect the normal body proportions, maintain sufficient activity space with the shooting object, and will not cause a sense of oppression to the shooting object, and is suitable for taking pictures and capturing.
Therefore, these two 50mm portrait lenses and 90mm medium-telephoto humanistic lenses together form the "Zeiss dual-focus portrait lens". The two lenses can work independently and can be synthesized through algorithms to take portraits, bringing better night portrait photography and blur effect, as well as the skin and color performance of portraits in dark and low-light environments.
In addition, in addition to portrait photography, this 64-megapixel telephoto lens also supports digital zoom to 100 times. vivo has a unique design on the motor, and also gives Zeiss T* coating. With hardware-grade Remosaic technology, the signal-to-noise ratio of more than five times the zoom is increased by 92.6%, and the telephoto resolution is increased by 64.7%. We have actually measured that it can indeed achieve the leading image quality level among all flagships within 10 times.
In order to ensure the stability of the ultra-telephoto, the X90 Pro+ adds electronic anti-shake (EIS) to the high-power zoom preview, which facilitates handheld shooting and adjustment of composition. It is actually measured that when its zoom ratio is between 20x-100x, the overall stable chip rate is still good.
Another good screen: the peak, surpassing
again. In the screen configuration of X90 Pro+, vivo is preparing for another "first launch" big deal - a brand new E6 material with 2K resolution super-sensing eye protection screen.According to the official description, its delicateness and peak brightness are both peak-level in the current product strength. Combined with Dolby Vision, local peak brightness up to 1800nit (1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming can achieve a global maximum brightness of 600nit, HBM brightness 1200nit, and local peak brightness 1800nit), 1.07 billion colors, and XDR support, it can indeed give us a very ideal visual enjoyment. The power consumption performance of E6 luminescent materials is better, and compared with the previous generation E5, the power consumption is reduced by 13%.
In terms of size, the X90 Pro+ screen is still 6.78 inches, maintaining the same body size of the entire series of models. According to user feedback, this size is an ideal size that can be taken into account in all aspects, so including previous works, vivo's X model has used this size screen for the entire machine design many times.
Compared with the previous E5 LTPO 3D curved screen of X80 Pro, the E6 LTPO 4.0 continuously variable speed curved screen of X9 Pro+ is combined with 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz screen sampling rate, which displays smooth and power-saving, and has a good look. The new dark/eye protection mode, combined with 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, the eye protection effect is guaranteed from the bottom of the bottom.
Speaking of eye protection, vivo Visual Health Laboratory adjusts eye protection strategies for different scenarios, and the top-end model of X90 Pro+ will naturally not be absent. In terms of color, vivo exclusively developed V-sync technology and Zeiss natural color display technology are also complete. In addition, the ultrasonic fingerprint solution can also be retained on the X90 Pro+.
See the "dual flagship platform" again for full combat power
Regarding the second-generation Snapdragon 8
vivo, the X90 Pro+ is the first batch of its own models equipped with the second-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship platform. This reason alone shows its importance. You should know that from the perspective of comprehensive performance or from the perspective of market cognition, Snapdragon's annual flagship is still the most recognized existence. Of course, it is precisely because of this that we have high respect for the Dimensity 9200 that vivo jointly participated in the research and development and adjustment.
Now let’s talk about the topics of X90 Pro+ and the second generation Snapdragon 8. In terms of
heat dissipation components, X90 Pro+ is still a "wide ice field heat dissipation module". Its 8900 square millimeter twin ice field heat dissipation board sets the largest record in the industry history, more than 67% higher than the largest VC heat dissipation board on the market, and more than twice the other two models of the same series. We know that the thermal conductivity of ultra-thin VC heat-smoothing plate is much higher than that of graphite , and the heat dissipation performance is very obvious. This super large hot-smoothing board can cover the X90 Pro+ "specimen to top" camera area, effectively improving the image cooling ability. The overall cooling advantage is no different from the Dimensity version model in actual gaming experience.
By the way, I’ll add something that you are interested in in vivo X series players, about music. This time, the X90 Pro+ brought the Hi-Fi function, which was popular among consumers in the early stages of the vivo X series, to return. The fact that "leading the mobile phone Hi-Fi world again on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the X series" is really amazing.
In addition, X90 Pro+, combined with TWS 3 Pro headphones, has achieved the first use of "wireless and lossless sound quality" to reduce Bluetooth delay from 88ms to 55ms, a decrease of 37.5% (compared to X80 Pro).
TIPS
The TWS 3 Pro headset just mentioned is a new product released with the vivo X90 series. The vivo TWS 3 series has launched two products, namely vivo TWS 3 and vivo TWS 3 Pro. They are defined as "the world's first true Hi-Fi wireless headphones", which can clearly understand its extraordinary capabilities by definition. According to the design, the vivo TWS 3 series and vivo mobile phones are deeply optimized. Through high bandwidth transmission technology, the bandwidth of Bluetooth is expanded to 2 times, allowing the audio to maintain ultra-high-speed streaming. Daily usage scenarios can be maintained at 1.1Mbps for a long time, bringing a stable lossless transmission experience far exceeding competitors.
Thanks to the ultra-adjusted code stream and larger Bluetooth bandwidth, the vivo TWS 3 series can provide aptX Lossless lossless bit rate and high-quality audio transmission close to wired headphones, bringing a studio-level ultra-clear listening experience. Let’s start a new chapter to talk about the details of the TWS 3 series headphones.
battery life?
standard version directly pulls to the "ceiling"!
You should still remember that in terms of battery configuration, we appreciate the previous X80 series, which is greatly improved compared to the earlier X70 series. Taking the X80 Pro as an example, the 4700mAh dual-cell combined with 80W flash charging meets the flagship standards of 2022, which is far better than the 55W of the X70 Pro+. Moreover, this 80W flash charging is standard for the entire X80 series, so when we arrived at the X90 series, we thought that even if the latter still maintains the entire 80W flash charging, it would be fine.
On X90 Pro+, vivo comprehensively considers the balance of all aspects of configuration in the limiting state. It does not use the 120W dual-cell solution of the X90 standard version, but basically continues the battery components of the X80 Pro, including dual-cell 80W flash charging, 50W wireless flash charging, 4700mAh battery, etc. If you want to talk about changes, the characteristics of "-20°C wide temperature and cold resistance" are considered one thing, and it is still necessary for users in the north.
From the perspective of battery configuration, this time the X90 Pro is quite eye-catching. It not only has 120W dual-cell flash charging, but also has 50W wireless flash charging, and the battery capacity is also at the highest level of 4870mAh in the entire series. This is an unexpected situation.
Golden Segmentation and Big Eyes
There is also a "popular celebrity!"
"Inheritance and Breakthrough" that is the best summary of the organic integration of the vivo X90 series, "vigorous vitality" and "extreme calmness". Especially the words "Xtreme Imagination" on the metal ribbon on the back of the body give the vivo X90 series extremely high recognition and temperament.
The highly-watched "super-large cup" X90 Pro+ has also added a more advanced surgical-grade stainless steel based on high-end environmentally friendly leather and aluminum alloy, which is also the best idea.
first talks about the design of the rear image module. This is the most eye-catching thing about a mobile phone and the most thoughtful thing about each company. The vivo X90 series is inspired by the rising sun, the skyline and the earth when the morning light is first shining. The skyline is an iconic natural beauty that symbolizes integration and balance. The entire camera area rises from the skyline, shaping the moving sunrise moment. vivo said that with such a design, we can feel the power and beauty coming from the sky every time we pick up our mobile phone. We believe that it finds a misaligned balance between the circle of the lens module and the square of the fuselage, which is the original beauty of "sunrise", and this point is well grasped. Compared with the "reality of squareness and circle" on the X80 series, it has its own heritage and its own connotation.
In the lens module, the vivo X90 series draws on professional camera design and incorporates all cameras into a "big eyes", and strengthens the integrated lens sense through the "black" design, reflecting professional image strength in a more concise way. By optimizing lens arrangement, we implement the concept of seamless integration, so that users can be smoother during the zoom process and weaken the switching feeling.
The finishing touch lies in the penetration lines on the upper part of the waistline of the body. This time, the vivo X90 series, referring to the inspiration of Porsche's through-type taillights, designed NewChoker - a ribbon cloud step, which is completely reconstructed and designed based on the golden ratio division, clearly dividing the camera area and the grip area of the mobile phone. Above NewChoker, is the camera area where "takes the scene in the mirror and takes the scene in the frame". New Choker ribbon uses lithography technology to allow the X90 series stainless steel material to undergo complex 16 core processes such as shielding and exposure, nano-level vacuum optical color plating, four-axis linkage fine sculpture, and finally polishing the gorgeous ceramic texture.
From the lens module to the entire body, the vivo X90 series adopts a golden ratio partition design derived from the Fibonacci series to achieve a balanced and coordinated visual effect, making the visual design focus balanced, which not only releases the area and height of the camera module, but also clearly divides the grip area and camera area to ensure the dual-optimal experience of vision and touch, and the styling style is minimal without losing personality. These are all the beauty of "dislocated balance" just mentioned.
It should be noted that although it is also from the NewChoker ribbon cloud-step design, the Halo ring of the X90 Pro+ lens assembly uses the aforementioned more advanced surgical grade austenitic stainless steel .By anodizing the secondary with highlight C angle, it is visually thinned, enriches the design details, highlighting the sense of exquisiteness and value. Of course, its cost is not low. Considering that it can avoid the risk of wear and paint loss easily caused by the convex hull of ordinary cameras, it is still worth it to protect the lens in all aspects even if used in extremely harsh conditions.
If you want to judge the X90 standard version and X90 Pro+ at a glance, you can just observe whether there are three or four lenses in the camera module, but if you just take a quick glance, there are blue Zeiss logos and ribbon cloud steps, and the entire X90 series is not easy to distinguish. Even the X series extreme imagination represented by the words Xtreme Imagination engraved on NewChoker is standard in the entire series. This is good for a wider range of users of the X90 series.
is right, only two colors are prepared for X90 Pro and X90 Pro+. In addition to "Huaxia Red", there is also a "original black" color scheme. It is also a delicate plain leather material, with high-endometallic skin very delicate. In other words, both X90 Pro+ are plain leather solutions, and the weight of 221g is completely within the acceptance range.
Finally, X90 Pro and X90 Pro+ continue the X80 Pro's IP68 flagship body protection standard, which is what the expected "flagship ceiling" should do.
EF Comment:
According to our conventional understanding, vivo has developed a long-term research and development of the four major tracks of "image, design, performance, and system", and has been fully reflected in the X product sequence. So starting from the X70 series and even earlier X50 series, vivo has gradually given them new elements and competitiveness. For example, use "differentiated advantages" to benchmark competitor flagships and emphasize the details of "comprehensive victory", such as platform elements. Nowadays, it is a full compliment to vivo's X90 series that says it is "both color and art".
We believe that the X90 Pro+, which uses Zeiss one-inch T* main camera and self-developed chip V2, should be the tone set of the 2022 video camera royal works. Even if the development of technology will inevitably continue to surpass itself in the future, today, it is a existence standing on the top of the mountain. So if the budget is sufficient, we recommend buying the X90 Pro+ version, the money of a mobile phone, "get a professional camera, a wireless Hi-Fi player, and an game mobile phone ". I have been happy for two or three years without regrets, so I ask you how can you bear it?
Finally, say a few off-topic words. Since 2020, vivo's activities with the theme of imaging strategy, technology and cooperation have never stopped. It is precisely during this period that we have witnessed the transformation and reputation of vivo's X-series imaging flagship from the X50 series to the current X90 series. In a sense, the vivo X product sequence began to shape the "Next Decade Agreement" and began in 2020. Vivo's forward-looking and courage have to be convinced.
