Preface:
The moment I saw the vivo S16 promotion page, I knew that the "she" of vivo was back!
It is difficult for some friends to understand this sentence, because if you have just met this phone, you will not have any empathy, but if you are an old fan of the vivo S series, I believe you will understand it. Let me explain to the new friends why I say this. If you know the previous generation, the previous generation, and the previous generation of vivo, you will know what is going on.
When vivo S10 series was launched, vivo’s S series deeply attracted female users. Why?
vivo S10 series: front 44 million pixels, dual soft light;
vivo S12 series: front 50 million pixel dual camera, dual color temperature four soft light;
vivo S15 series: front 32 million pixels, no soft light! (Get it?)
vivo S16 series: front 5000W pixels, dual soft lights.
Users who have bought the vivo S15 series must have been hurt, haha, after looking at the above comparison, I believe that novices will understand.
1. Appearance | The back shell process is surprising
The vivo S series has always had lower configurations than the vivo X series. This is easy to understand. The X series focuses on performance, while the S series focuses on portrait photography, especially for female users. It is very friendly. In terms of accessories, it is still a mobile phone, a transparent protective case, a manual, a charging cable and a 66W wired fast charging head.
The entry-level model with 8+128GB is priced at only 2,499 yuan, and the highest configuration with 12+512GB is 3,299 yuan. There are two tiers of 2,699 and 2,999 in between. Which one to buy depends on the budget in your wallet. The front screen uses a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2400*1080 and a screen-to-body ratio of 93.3%. It is officially called a 60° micro-curved screen with a borderless view.
is not equipped with an infrared sensor on the top like the vivo X series, but only has a top microphone, and then it is printed with PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT, "professional portrait"?
It can be seen that this generation of vivo mobile phones, whether it is the X series or the S series, are really beautiful on the side, both in terms of visual perception and the actual feeling of holding it in the hand. The official data is 7.36mm. Although it is not thinner in terms of parameters, it actually feels thinner than the previous generation of the X series and the S series. And you will find that its camera protrusion is okay, not too protruding.
The bottom is the speaker, Type-C, microphone and SIM card slot.
vivo S16 has three colors, namely Yan Ruyu, Xuan Black, and Fireworks. Among them, Yan Ruyu has the photochromic function of the previous generation, while Xuan Black is made of fluorite AG material. The fine crystals create a deep and shining quiet night.
There is a bright spot worth bragging about, that is, the back shell of the vivo S16 black is really not stained by fingerprints. No matter what kind of hands you have, even if they are just stained with oil, the traces left when you press them are very light. From most angles, you can't find fingerprints on the back shell of the phone at all, which is quite refreshing. Otherwise, if you encounter a Virgo syndrome patient, you will always have to wipe the phone with a wet wipe.
2. System | Still so fresh and technological
When you see this desktop, will you think of anything? Recently, a certain UI manufacturer, that is, the manufacturer that bases everything on XX, has just launched a new version of UI. Oh, and the design of the desktop icons has been available in vivo OriginOS for a long time. What icons do you want, such as squares, horizontal bars, vertical bars, and four-square grid? You can just pull them out casually. How come this feature that has been available for a long time has just appeared in a friend's company, and you have the nerve to brag about it? Ha ha.
To put it bluntly, this is the desktop icon deformation function of vivo. It is not surprising at all. Vivo users have long been used to it. A certain UI company is still touting it, which is funny. OriginOS 3 is developed based on Android 13, and its functions have been fully integrated. Memory fusion technology can also make 12GB reach 20GB.
I won’t go into details about the specific system settings, because vivo fans know more than me. It is worth mentioning that it has a built-in game magic box, which allows you to start the game in idle mode, 4D game vibration, game countdown, game analysis, etc. It is also very practical. The screen display supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.
3. Performance | Snapdragon 870 is a relatively balanced processor
in vivo S16 The Pro uses a Dimensity 8200 processor, while the S16 uses a Snapdragon 870 processor. Everyone is familiar with this processor, because it was used by many mobile phone products last year. It is relatively mature, has usable performance, and the power consumption and heat dissipation are not as high as the Fire Dragon 888. Relatively speaking, this processor is still good for daily use.
As for whether games such as Honor of Kings and Peace Elite are stuck, the Antutu score of 750,000 can still explain the problem. Basically, there is no pressure to play these mobile games with this score. In the performance rankings, vivo S16 can surpass Mi 11 and Xiaomi 70 Pro.
However, although the vivo S16 uses a 120Hz screen, in the Honor of Kings mobile game, the highest frame rate of and currently only supports 90FPS, which may require subsequent cooperation and optimization.
4. Photography | Portrait photography is still the main highlight feature
It can be said that the success of the vivo S series is indispensable to the vivo S10 series. It is my first time to use vivo. When it comes to the S10 series, you will immediately be attracted by the performance of the front camera, especially female users. Vivo's portrait algorithm is really the ceiling of the industry, especially the high pixels, good beautification effect, and the most important thing is a dual soft light, which is really YYDS. The vivo S12 series has taken it to a new level. The only failure is that the vivo S15 does not know what is wrong, so it cancels the front soft light. And now, vivo S16, "She" - double soft light, finally upgraded and returned!
Different from the two-color soft light of the previous generation vivo S12 series, vivo S16 no longer designs the front soft light to be cold light or warm light, but directly sets it to a 6000K color temperature close to natural light, allowing skin color to more accurately restore skin color under natural light.
Judging from the actual samples, the vivo S16 front dual soft light or soft light ring can indeed bring better skin color. Even in indoor dark light environments, the skin captured is very soft, which is more suitable for girls who love selfies.
vivo S16 series focuses on "double-sided soft light portrait" this time. What does that mean? On the right side of its back camera, there is also a soft light ring. It is officially called the industry's first original color soft light. It uses nano-level soft light technology and blurs particles to create smooth light. The brightness is adjusted accurately to each lamp bead, and there is also a portrait mode that focuses more light.
In actual shooting, vivo S16 can effectively improve the brightness of the character’s face, and can automatically improve the shine on the face, allowing you to remember every wonderful moment in life. Its rear camera is a 64-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel wide-angle + 2-megapixel macro. The main camera supports OIS optical image stabilization , and the secondary camera supports video EIS electronic image stabilization. The shooting modes are also very rich, including photo, night scene, portrait, video, high pixel, panorama, slow motion, dynamic photo, time-lapse photography, professional mode, AR cute photo, document correction, dual-view video, micro movie, double exposure , sports capture, time slowdown, smart vision, it can be said that there are many ways to play.
5: Summary | It is still a mobile phone for portrait photography, worth buying
It can be said that those who pay attention to the vivo S series must be those who have greater needs for selfies and portrait photography. Although the vivo S series processor is not as good as the X series, it allows you to buy a mobile phone with better portrait photography for less money. I think this is the value of the vivo S series.If you are not satisfied with the previous generation vivo S15 series, the upgraded return of the vivo S16 series front dual soft light and the industry's first original original color soft light in the rear will definitely make you regain your confidence in the vivo S series. Friends who have a greater need for portrait photography, hurry up and try the powerful return of the vivo S16.
