The Snapdragon 888 comes with its own unique appearance, what will be the experience of operation?!
On December 20, iQOO "Strong Dual Core Blood Coldplay" conference, equipped with the newly upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 flagship processor and the unique chip Pro iQOO Neo5S, once released, caused quite a stir in the mobile game circle.
"For us esports boys, a high-profile phone is very important because it is our 'super god' weapon." A sophomore majoring in e-sports at a college in Sichuan said he was looking forward to using the twin-core upgraded iQOO Neo5S.
In his spare time, the most common thing Gao Yu and his classmates do is to play the glory of the king and the league of legends together. He said that the most important thing about game phones is to have good picture quality and silky play. If the configuration is not good, just ready to put a big move mobile phone but stuck, I want to drop the phone. Therefore, when they buy a mobile phone, they will pay special attention to the chip of the mobile phone, especially the performance of the processor.
In the past two years, with the emergence of more and more terminal game-level mobile game masterpieces, mobile games have begun to have the ability to compete with console games on the screen, and also put forward higher requirements for the overall performance of mobile phones. In order to allow users to get a more delicate and realistic picture and a smoother experience in the game, Android mobile phone manufacturers have taken the game mobile phone as an important direction of power.
iQOO has always been at the forefront of the trend. Its just-released iQOO Neo5S, in addition to the upgraded dual core, also debuted high conductivity rare earth heat dissipation, further solving a series of problems such as high power consumption and high heat generation brought by high performance, and comprehensively helping users' game experience.
The phone has also gained recognition from the mobile game community. At present, it has passed the official certification of the top professional e-sports league and has become the designated machine for the official event of the 8th King of Glory College League.
A collision between the game and the phone
Technology, especially the development of the mobile Internet, is changing the way people live. Let some things disappear gradually, and let some things grow.
Someone once listed the top ten occupations that Are disappearing in China, including pot repair, selling cold boiling water, shaving heads, turning bricklayers, and so on. At the same time, relying on the development of the mobile Internet, new occupations such as takeaway riders, anchors, and e-sports players have emerged.
Gao Yu's e-sports major was established by approval 3 years ago at his school. According to statistics, more than a dozen colleges and universities have set up e-sports majors. E-sports can become a profession, relying on the development of the online game industry, but also represents the recognition of this industry by society.
The popularity of the mobile game industry has also brought fierce competition, making mobile game manufacturers pay more attention to the pursuit of picture quality. In the past two years, the mobile games that are popular with users, such as the original god, the glory of the king, and the league of legends, are all high-quality and high-performance mobile games. At the same time, these high-quality, high-performance games also put forward higher requirements for mobile phones.
For example, after the official public beta of the original god who won the "TGA 2021 Best Mobile Game" in early 2020, many game lovers felt like they had experienced a roller coaster. Happily, the long-awaited game has finally started to go live. Sadly, this game has high requirements for mobile phone configuration. In the official guidance, Apple requires a minimum configuration of A11 chips, while Android phones need to be equipped with a minimum Snapdragon 845.
This is because open-world games like the original god need to load too many materials at the same time, if the configuration is too low, it will cause stuttering due to CPU occupancy, followed by serious mobile phone heat, insufficient battery life and other issues. These subtle deficiencies may not be much in ordinary times, but when it comes to competition, they are lost by thousands of miles.
In fact, in the ancient era of mobile phones, there were devices that were specially known for game functions. For example, N-gage in the era of feature phones, Sony Ericsson R800 in the early days of smart machines, etc. However, at that time, accompanied by such professional game phones, it was an extremely niche game consumer market.
Today, the number of mobile game users in China has exceeded 700 million. Games are an important part of people's life entertainment, and more and more people also need high-performance mobile phones that can make the game experience the best. Driven by market demand, Android mobile phone manufacturers have successively launched models with main games.
Among them, iQOO, with its strong performance, has become the designated machine for the spring competition of KPL (Glory of Kings Professional League) as soon as it was launched in 2019. Since then, almost every iQOO has been recognized as a designated machine by the Glory of Kings event, which has continued to this day. iQOO Neo5S has once again become the designated machine for the official events of the Glory of Kings College League.
"Double core" has re-evolved, leading the era of high-frame low-power mobile games
At a time when the competition in the hand game market is becoming increasingly fierce, game manufacturers are required to come up with higher quality works to gain a foothold. This kind of high-quality creation is often reflected in the quality of the image and the creativity of the gameplay.
Previously, game manufacturers and hardware manufacturers optimized the quality of game graphics, often using the improvement of GPU rendering speed to enhance the quality of game graphics. However, long-term on forced GPU rendering will cause the mobile phone to run under load, which in turn will affect the battery life and the service life of the mobile phone. As a result, more and more games are now switching to improving screen refresh rates to improve picture quality.
Due to the limitations of network speed and GPU most of the time, the frame rate of mobile games can only be maintained at around 40-50 frames. Therefore, high-frame games also put forward higher requirements for mobile phone hardware manufacturers. To this end, iQOO proposed the design concept of "double core".
In March 2021, iQOO Neo5 debuted a dual-core combination, equipped with two chips at the same time: Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 flagship chip and unique display chip, so that the mobile phone away from the traditional mode of one "core" operation of one machine, announcing the arrival of the era of mobile phone unique display.
The reference to "double core" has existed in the mobile phone industry for a long time, but it is a completely different idea.
Prior to this, "dual core" refers to some mobile phone manufacturers in the same series of mobile phones, in order to save costs, for different price points of the version equipped with different mobile phone chips.
However, iQOO's "dual core" concept is based on the performance of mobile phones, through the cooperation of the two chips, with lower power consumption, bringing more powerful graphics processing capabilities, so that the user's game experience has been significantly improved.
For players, rendering features more realistically means having a more immersive gaming experience. The reduction of power consumption can ensure the long-term high-performance output of the mobile phone and extend the battery life of the mobile phone.
There have been media on the iQOO Neo5 and other models that are also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 to evaluate, in the original god test can be seen that with the increase of game time, the fuselage heat of other models is more and more obvious, and finally there is a phenomenon of overheating and frequency reduction, resulting in the game frame rate falling to about 30 frames, and the game experience has also appeared a significant sense of caton. In contrast, the iQOO Neo5 has always had a smooth and stable gaming experience, with a stable frame rate of about 60 frames and a well-controlled body heating.
Because of the outstanding performance of the twin-core design, until now, the iQOO Neo5 is still a popular model in the 2000-3000 yuan price range. Some time ago, the official also launched a 512GB large memory version of the iQOO Neo5, which also proved the super popularity of this phone.
This time, iQOO Neo5S "dual core" re-evolution, with the help of the unique chip Pro, iQOO Neo5S can calculate the transition screen between the original two frames of the game, increase the transition frame, can be the Peace Elite, Crash 3 and a number of native 90 frames of the game to 120 frames, but also support individual 60 frames of the game to 120 frames. At the same time, it can also help the GPU render half the frame number of the picture, share the rendering pressure of the core processor GPU, thereby reducing the processor power consumption, achieving a high frame rate and low power consumption.
In order to further enhance the player's gaming experience, iQOO Neo5S has also done enough work in mobile phone heat dissipation, and for the first time in the industry, it has adopted high-conductivity rare earth heat dissipation.
Rare earth is widely used in the field of military, superconductivity, hydrogen storage and high-performance materials, but also used in 5G communication base station filters, automotive engine supports, aero engine housings, etc., known as the "mother of new materials" and "industrial gold". It is understood that in order to create the first set of rare earth heat dissipation system in the mobile phone industry, iQOO has set up a research and development team of more than 160 people, which lasted nearly 18 months, and after repeated testing and polishing, the thermal conductivity finally reached 200% of the original.
Under the escort of strong heat dissipation ability, mobile game players can always stay "calm" while enjoying the smooth experience of high-frame games.
Soft and hard, all-round help super players
As a professional league, KPL has strict screening criteria on the selected special mobile phones, including almost harsh requirements for mobile phone power consumption, temperature control, frame rate fluctuation control, device stability, network stability, and accurate operation.
iQOO can stand out from many brand models many times, relying not only on the slogan of "born strong", but also on the strength of real software and hardware.
For example, the release of iQOO Neo5S, in addition to the Snapdragon 888, unique chip Pro, high conductivity rare earth heat dissipation, 4500mAh, 66W, 48 million OIS pixel main camera and other powerful hardware configurations, but also the world's first original system OriginOS Ocean.
OriginOS Ocean uses a simple visual design to create groundbreaking interactive modes and applications such as lock screen system, atomic walkman, atomic reading, atomic privacy system, atomic notes, etc., bringing a new visual and interactive experience. Through the optimization and adjustment of the underlying layer, the smooth experience of the system is continuously improved, and the perfect balance between smoothness and power consumption is achieved. In the words of Yang Jian, vice president of vivo, OriginOS Ocean has brought revolutionary upgrades, built a new interactive experience between people and the world, and promoted the closer integration of the digital world and the physical world.
As a gaming phone, in order to help super players in an all-round way, iQOO Neo5S has also made some special details.
For example, in view of the characteristics of mobile game competitions, the network stability and fluency requirements are particularly high, iQOO Neo5S specially distributes 5G antennas on the side of the mobile phone. In this way, when the user plays the game and holds the mobile phone, the 5G antenna will not be blocked, ensuring the 5G signal of the user's game scene. The enhanced Wi-Fi 6 bandwidth is increased to 160MHz bandwidth, and the throughput is twice that of the previous generation, which can bring users a stable network experience with faster speed and lower latency.
In addition, iQOO Neo5S also supports scheduling part of the ROM space to RAM, which can achieve 8GB+4GB and 12GB+4GB storage effects at the appropriate time, allowing users to obtain more RAM space for storing running programs, improving application startup speed, and reducing the probability of background killing and stuck.
Judging from the feedback on the market at present, the majority of consumers have a high evaluation of this type of dual-core mobile phone.
"This is a gaming phone I'm looking forward to." Gao Yu said that iQOO's high-performance and cost-effective positioning has always been one of the most popular models among their classmates. Digital blogger @ I am Lao Pu then said, "The cool of the single display chip, high frame low power consumption, who uses who knows, the use of really can't go back." ”
Not only users, this phone has also received attention from retail platforms. Suning Tesco President Suning Hou Enlong also personally warmed up for the release of iQOO Neo5S on Weibo, saying that this dual-core upgrade, coupled with the mobile phone of heat dissipation black technology, will end the phenomenon of high power consumption and high temperature of mobile phones in the past, opening a new era of high frame and low power consumption.
As vivo's killer in the field of mobile game e-sports, the "double core" upgrade of iQOO Neo5S has once again promoted the experience of mobile games and led the evolution direction of Android mobile phones.
