Just the right hardware stack

Hardware is the top priority. In terms of hardware configuration, this time the vivo S16 series adopts the dual-shen U design. The vivo S16 uses a Snapdragon 870 processor. As a new machine to be released at the end of 2022, given the Snapdragon 870 processor, it cannot be said to be very good, and it even tastes like fried rice. But the 870 is still a great phone after all. It has a running score of 800,000 on Entertainment Rabbit. It can last for several years even for daily use and playing games, which is completely enough. Coupled with its starting price of 2,499, the price/performance ratio is quite impressive.

The vivo S16 Pro model debuts the Dimensity 8200 chip. The Dimensity 8200 chip, as a new generation of Shenji U, is excellent both in terms of process manufacturing and performance. Historically, the Dimensity series Shenji U chips have received good feedback from the majority of user groups and the industry. It may not be the chip with the strongest performance, but it must be the chip with the most competitive advantages after integrating factors such as price, performance, heat dissipation, and optimization.

As for the lowest-end e model in this series, vivo S16e, as an entry-level mobile phone in the 2K price range, uses the Exynos1080 chip of Samsung . There is a well-known saying in the digital circle: You can’t buy anything with an e suffix. However, although the chip configuration of the S16e is not comparable to that of Qualcomm Snapdragon and Dimensity chip , it is still completely fine for daily use experience, such as browsing Weibo , watching Douyin and chatting WeChat . The price of the S16e can only be said to be a matter of opinion. Whether it is worth it or not depends entirely on the consumer's consideration. If you are a light user, it is not a bad idea to save a few hundred yuan to buy the S16e.

Stable image stacking

We all know that Blue and Green Factory has been focusing on imaging from the very beginning until today. The vivoS16 series also maintains this fine tradition, and its imaging configuration is stable and powerful.

It is understood that this time the vivoS16 series has brought a new portrait lighting system, which can maximize our filming rate. The first double-sided soft light portrait, allowing portraits in every scene to be illuminated by soft light.

The vivo S16 series is the first original color soft light ring, which cleverly turns point light sources into surface light sources to achieve longer-distance soft light. Among them, the nano-level soft light technology ensures soft light and effectively avoids oily skin; dynamic precise light control allows light to follow the environment to ensure natural and appropriate brightness; the customized light field for portraits allows the fill light to focus more on the portrait; the ultra-high color rendering index makes skin color more natural and vivid. The original color soft light ring of vivo S16 allows the fill light to return to its proper image value and no longer be reduced to a flashlight for lighting.

In terms of specific parameters, vivo S16 Pro is equipped with a 50-megapixel Sony customized version of IMX766V sensor and an exclusive customized ultra-transparent filter, which brings better photosensitive performance. Paired with OIS optical image stabilization, it greatly improves the shooting quality and film yield in dark light environments. Even when walking hand-held, you can shoot clear and high-quality blockbusters.

As for the front camera, the vivo S16 series has been upgraded to 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, it brings a clearer portrait shooting experience that previews and automatically focuses on faces and takes long-distance shots.

Yan Ruyu

In terms of appearance design, this time the vivo S16 series adopts three fashionable colors: Yan Ruyu, Fireworks and Black. Among them, Yan Ruyu explores new possibilities for material expression through innovative technology, and uses glass to complete the youthful and trendy interpretation of jade.The first jade glass technology to restore the warmth and clarity of jade, the smoky green jade pattern reproduces the freehand brushwork of landscapes like misty rain and sky, and the new generation of photochromic technology allows the two jade qualities to be presented in one.

The color matching of the fireworks uses an original 3D stereoscopic gradient, which makes the colorful fireworks stretch and bloom on the mobile phone, just like fireworks shining in the sky.

Finally, in the black color scheme, the fluorite AG process is used, which retains the AG glass's wear resistance, scratch resistance, and resistance to fingerprints, while also giving the color a transparent texture.

In terms of appearance, vivo has always been good. Such an S16 series can be said to take into account both appearance and performance, with a price range of 2k to 3k plus 24 interest-free periods. If you buy an 8+128 S16, it will only cost you 100 yuan per month, which is just a few cups of coffee and milk tea for most people. If you want to change your phone at the end of the year, this phone is still good. You can choose the style and configuration you want according to your budget and preferences, buy it early and enjoy it early.
