On December 22, 2022, the vivo S series new product launch conference with the theme of "Double-sided soft light illuminates you and me" was held online. Three new models, including vivo S16 and vivo S16 Pro, were officially released. As the latest generation product of the vivo S series, the vivo S16 series has fully upgraded in terms of imaging, performance, and design. The first double-sided soft light portrait, allowing the entire scene to be illuminated by soft light; the unique Yan Ruyu color scheme gives the glass a new lease of life, making the vivo S16 series a trendy fashion item this winter.
The first double-sided soft light portrait. Be present in every memorable moment.
Good portraits speak with light. From the S1 series to the vivo S16 series, the S series has completed the transformation from "illuminating your beauty" to "illuminating my beauty" to "illuminating you and me". The vivo S16 series is the first to feature dual-sided soft light portraits, allowing portraits in both front and rear scenes to be illuminated by soft light. Be present in every memorable scene.
introduces soft-light portraits from the front to the rear, which is the biggest breakthrough point of this S16. The vivo S16 series is the first to create the original color soft light ring, which integrates dynamic light control, nano-level soft light technology, and super-sensing portrait system to bring natural, realistic, and studio-level portrait fill light.
Among them, the nano-level soft light technology ensures soft light and effectively avoids oily skin; dynamic and precise light control allows the light to follow the environment, ensuring natural and appropriate brightness; the portrait customized light field allows the fill light to focus more on the portrait; the ultra-high color rendering index makes the skin color more natural and vivid. Soft light illuminates details in dark areas, improving clarity by nearly 30%.
While challenging the narrowest screen black borders of the vivo S16 series so far, the front fill light is upgraded again. After hundreds of versions of simulated light paths and more than a dozen versions of hardware iterations, vivo has cleverly used four free-form surfaces to guide the light path to the outside world, creating a new "Micro-slit Fill Light 2.0". The white color temperature of 6000k makes the skin delicate and the facial features appear three-dimensional.
All series OIS optical image stabilization /auto focus, no matter how you shoot, it will be clear
Focus on every aspect of soft light portraits, the vivo S16 series imaging system has been fully upgraded, all series come standard with outsole sensors and OIS optical image stabilization, support front auto focus, and integrate many innovative imaging technologies, making portrait shooting a simple and beautiful experience.
vivo S16 Pro is equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony customized IMX766V sensor at the back, and an exclusive customized ultra-transparent filter, bringing better photosensitive performance. OIS optical image stabilization extends the exposure to increase the amount of light, and resolves camera shake during shooting, greatly improving the film yield. Paired with real-time black light night vision and the new super night scene portrait function, soft-light portraits can be captured instantly.
In terms of front-end, the vivo S16 series has been upgraded with a 50-megapixel ultra-high-pixel JN1 sensor. The total pixels have increased by 56% compared with the previous generation, and support the shooting of ultra-clear videos up to 4K 60 frames. And thanks to the AF autofocus motor, the front focus detection of the vivo S16 series is faster and more accurate. Regardless of the distance, close range, or ultra-close range, it can be clearly displayed.
Gives Glass a New Life The trendy items that are as gentle as jade during the New Year
continue the S series’ exploration of “unification of technology and art”. The vivo S16 series integrates trendy aesthetics and innovative craftsmanship into product design, giving new expressions to ordinary materials, injecting new vitality into glass, and giving mobile phones the texture of jade.
vivo S16 series pioneered jade glass technology, restoring the warmth and clarity of jade. From hundreds of products, the designer selected blue-white jade as the base color that best matches the association of jade. He carefully polished the subtle color to bring a suet-like moist feeling, and used 14 layers of nano-coating to brighten the glass. The first smoky green jade pattern reproduces the freehand brushwork of landscapes like misty rain and azure. The application of photochromic technology allows the elegant colors of two kinds of jade to be displayed in one jade.
At the same time, the vivo S16 series has refreshed vivo’s thin and light record, becoming one of the thinnest curved screens in vivo’s history. The 7.36mm body thickness, combined with the 2.3mm ultra-narrow middle frame and the 182g body weight, injects a light and agile aesthetic into the "heavy" image of jade.
In addition to Yan Ruyu, vivo S16 Fireworks and Xuanhei also have their own styles.The color scheme of the fireworks adopts an original 3D stereoscopic light gradient. Through a fine double-layer film process, the light spot texture is innovatively superimposed on each layer of the film. At the same time, nano-scale processing technology is used to create deeper light and shadow effects and richer color changes, so that the colorful fireworks stretch out and bloom on the phone, just like fireworks shining in the sky; the restrained and low-key dark black color scheme uses the fluorite AG process, which retains the AG glass's wear resistance, scratch resistance, and resistance to fingerprints, while also allowing the colors to penetrate through the glass to a greater extent, presenting a transparent texture.
Word-of-mouth God U Dimensity 8200/Snapdragon 870 e-sports gaming experience
From vivo S12 series to S15 series to S16 series, Word-of-mouth God U has gradually become the feature of the S series. The vivo S16 Pro is the first batch to be equipped with the new generation of the annual Dimensity 8200, which uses the 4nm process technology . It has the same ultra-high-performance ISP as the Dimensity 9000, with a running score of over 900,000. Vivo S16 is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 flagship platform. Compared with similar thin and light phones, it has achieved a performance gap of more than 40%, with a running score of nearly 800,000. The probability of dropping more than 10 frames in 2 hours has been reduced to an astonishing less than 1%, almost draining the 870's potential.
cooperates with the new "memory fusion + 8G" technology to increase the virtual memory capacity to 8G, enabling more than 30 applications to be kept alive in the background. Coupled with optimized instantaneous computing power scheduling, applications can be quickly restored to their pre-closure state like resurrecting them in place, thus bringing the smoothest experience in the history of S.
pursues the ultimate in thinness and lightness, and does not compromise on gaming. The heat dissipation capability of the vivo S16 series is still at the eSports level, and the battery life does not decrease but increases. vivo S16 series engineers have completely reconstructed the form of VC heat dissipation. The area of graphite has increased by 2000+mm2 compared with the previous generation. On vivo S16 Pro, it is jointly developed with the global industry giant Dow Chemical to customize an exclusive thermal conductive gel, which can better fit the heat source and have extremely strong thermal conductivity. Compared with conventional thermal conductive gel, it has a thermal conductivity increase of up to 71%.
In terms of battery life, the battery capacity of the vivo S16 series has been increased from 4500mAh to 4600mAh, which can be charged to 50% in 19 minutes. The lifespan has been increased to twice the industry standard, and the remaining capacity is still greater than 80% after 1,600 charge and discharge cycles, ensuring a smooth experience for 4 years and still being durable.
