The jade culture with jade as the central carrier has run through the history of Chinese civilization and deeply affected the ideas of the ancients. So, vivo, which uses jade as a "next-door" What surprises does S16 have?
The smooth texture of the whole machine
As the S series that focuses on young people, its appearance and thinness have always been its core highlights.
vivo S16 comes in three colors: Xuan Black, Fireworks, and Yan Ruyu. The author got the Yan Ruyu color. As the main color of vivo S16, you can see that vivo has put a lot of thought and details into the body design of the S16.
In terms of vision, the greatest charm of jade comes from its multiple luster textures, or the green of bamboo leaves, the blue of lake water, or the darkening of distant mountains. Vivo S16 uses special photomolecule materials and uses blue and white jade as the background color to create a color change like a green mountain and a deep blue, releasing the beauty of jade from the static. In terms of touch, in order to make the back panel feel close to jade, vivo S16 uses 14 layers of nano-coating to brighten the glass, making the glass clearer, smoother to the touch, and as warm as jade.
At the same time, the finishing touch of the back design of the vivo S16 series is lit by an original color soft halo, which complements the exquisite and compact lens arrangement and white cloud steps, truly combining the beauty of Chinese culture with the beauty of the trend.
Turn to the front, vivo S16 is equipped with a 6.78-inch 1 billion color super-sensitive screen with a resolution of 2400x1080, PPI 388, and supports up to 120Hz screen refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate. The actual experience, color accuracy and screen immersion are both remarkable.
In terms of overall machine size, the vivo S16 measures 164.1×74.8×7.36mm and weighs about 182g. As the thinnest curved screen in vivo’s history, the 7.36mm body thickness, 2.3mm slim middle frame and 182g body weight not only bring about a comprehensive upgrade of the display effect, but also make it easier to use in practice.
Snapdragon 870 leads the way: robust and reliable performance
In terms of performance, vivo S16 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870. As the evergreen chip of Qualcomm family, Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 adopts 7nm process technology , 8-core design architecture, with LPDDR4 and UFS 3.1, coupled with the memory expansion technology of up to 8GB, vivo S16 can achieve a hard-core configuration of 20GB+512GB, which is quite conscientious at this price.
In actual experience, the author conducted tests on Honor of Kings and Peace Elite.
In the actual test of Honor of Kings, the vivo S16 did not experience any lag when playing at the highest image quality. Even in groups, fighting dragons, etc., the overall picture was still smooth and there was no frame drop.
In the test of Peace Elite, the performance of vivo S16 was slightly stable at the highest image quality. In the parachute link, the image quality of vivo S16 was stable during the screen switching. In the gun shooting, city search, and driving sessions, vivo S16 did not have the phenomenon of skipping or dropping frames.
It is worth mentioning that thanks to the e-sports-level bionic cooling system equipped with the vivo S16, the temperature control performance of the vivo S16 is still stable after a long period of gaming and entertainment, and it is worthy of "squeezing out" an 870-performance mobile phone.
In terms of battery capacity, vivo S16 is equipped with a 4600mAh battery and 66W single-cell super flash charging. It is thin and light but also has satisfactory battery life.
Front and rear soft lights consolidate the portrait flagship experience
Allowing more people to enjoy the joy of free creation is vivo’s original intention for imaging. The vivo S16 released this time is equally surprising in front and rear imaging photography.
Let’s look at the parameters first. Vivo uses a 50-megapixel autofocus camera JN1 on the front with front micro-slit fill light 2.0, and a 64-megapixel ultra-clear outsole main camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera + 2-megapixel macro camera on the rear.
In the actual shooting, vivo added a nano-soft light to the black border of the 1.75mm screen of the S series. Together with the micro-slit fill light 2.0 software optimization, the ultra-high color rendering index brings a fill light effect like natural light, making the portrait delicate with delicate skin, three-dimensional facial features, and a translucent feeling.
On the rear side, thanks to the solid imaging capabilities of the 64-megapixel main camera, the direct-viewing effect of the vivo S16 is very satisfactory. The main body of the picture is well represented. The overall picture color is not bright but is extremely comfortable.
In terms of wide angle, the 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens is not hard-core, but its imaging effect is remarkable. The viewing distance of the picture is very wide, and the pixel performance of the center image quality is good, and the corner image quality is not too blurred.
In terms of night photography, vivo S16 is also surprising. In urban streets with complex lighting, vivo S16 can capture the subject of the picture very sensitively, and does a good job of brightening and suppressing light in dark places. It is worth noting that in rear portrait night photography, vivo The S16 is equipped with a True Color soft light ring, which not only softens the light, but also cleverly changes the point light source into an area light source, and achieves soft light at a longer distance. At the same time, it has a wider visible spectrum, and can restore skin color as realistically as possible when filling portraits.
