Whenever it comes to the future form of mobile phones, "folding" is the first answer for many people.
However, after 3 years of updating iterations, most of the folding screen products on the market are still almost interesting.
The user experience is not perfect, and consumers are naturally unwilling to pay.
"You buy I recommend, really buy I don't buy" seems to have become the fate of the folding screen.
Just a few days ago, the "blue factory" vivo finale debuted, launched the first folding screen mobile phone vivo X Fold.
So, it claims to lead the folding screen 2.0 era, can it break this fate?
Disappearing creases
The significance of the existence of folding screen mobile phones is to provide a screen as large as possible under the premise of not increasing the volume excessively.
But the crease is too conspicuous, and it is easy to make people play for a second.
When I unfolded the vivo X Fold, the first question in my mind was: Where did the crease go?
Whether it is a screen, a bright screen, or a pure white background, it is difficult to find the crease of the vivo X Fold.
Only at special angles can traces of the presence of creases be found.
Arguably the folding screen with the shallowest crease I've ever experienced, not even one.
To do this, it is inseparable from vivo's innovative aerospace-grade floating wing hinge.
On the basis of the teardrop-shaped hinge, modeled on the biological characteristics of the bird's wing, an integrated zirconium alloy floating plate is added to the keel, which can move with the opening and closing of the mobile phone.
When unfolded, the floating midplane rises up to the center of the screen, making the inner screen flatter.
When folded, the floating midplane drop provides more space for screen bending and acts as a protector.
Combined with UTT glass, compared with other CPI membrane solutions, the compressive ability and recovery ability are stronger, on this basis, vivo X Fold achieves the industry's minimum bending radius.
This hinge made of aerospace-grade materials not only reduces creases, but also enables multi-angle hovering, bringing more gameplay.
Adjust the screen to the right angle on the table, you can play the movie on half the screen, use the other half of the screen to control, free your hands, and eat the necessary.
Go out and take pictures, put on a flat surface to shoot time-lapse photography, and heavy tripod Say Goodbye.
Of course, after this toss, we don't have to worry too much about hinge life.
In the rheinlab test, the vivo X Fold after 300,000 folds, the crease is still extremely well controlled.
Even if you open and close 80 times a day, you can use it for 10 years.
Inside and outside a good screen, to give praise
Different from straight-panel mobile phones, folding screens often need to switch between internal and external screens when used, so the display effect of the two screens should be highly consistent.
However, in the past folding screen products, the refresh rate of the internal and external screens is difficult to achieve unity, and it is more extravagant to want the consistency of indicators such as color gamut and color accuracy.
The vivo X Fold internal and external screens are Samsung E5 material 120Hz high brush screen.
Coupled with the self-developed consistency calibration scheme, the two screens have almost the same color and display, and frequent switching will not feel separated.
In addition, it should be liked that vivo X Fold is the first folding screen with dual screens that support fingerprint recognition under the screen.
In actual use, it is much more convenient than the folding screen that I have experienced the side fingerprint scheme before.
Although the two screens display the same quality, but the function has its own focus.
The vivo X Fold outerscreen is 6.53 inches in size, with a 21:9 ratio, plus restrained thickness weight, and doesn't look bulky.
The feel is consistent with the ordinary straight board flagship, one-handed use without pressure, more suitable for single-threaded operations such as replying to messages and brushing the circle of friends.
The inner screen is 8 inches in size, and it has won 19 Display Mate A+ certifications, and the display quality does not need to be repeated.
When brushing station B, you can also put the bullet screen in the blank space to avoid obscuring the screen.
The larger screen also provides a broader space for browsing information.
When browsing the financial stock software, the market trend, stock price rise and fall, K line are all grasped, which can be called a stock speculation artifact.
Not to mention the big-screen gaming experience.
The operation and screen are more immersive, and in some games, you can see a wider field of view, which is simply a physical plug-in.
In order to make full use of this large screen, OriginOS also brings more efficient multitasking capabilities.
Three fingers can evoke the split screen function, and open Taobao Jingdong price comparison is a basic operation.
My personal favorite is still showing the health code and the itinerary card function at the same time, and the efficiency of the epidemic is full.
Counting the floating window, the vivo X Fold screen can run up to 3 apps at the same time.
It's more than enough to cope with a multithreaded task.
Not only that, in the split-screen state, pictures and videos between different applications can be dragged freely.
In atomic notes, you can drag the photos and videos you just took directly in.
Vivo's exclusive quantum suite can interact with PCs across devices.
Transfer files and collaboratively edit notes, all on one device.
The amber scan pre-installed at the factory is a must for workers.
Not only can you scan documents, documents, and even extract the text in the book, the accuracy of the actual measurement is very high.
Flagship configurations are readily available
Due to the lack of internal space, some folding screen mobile phones tend to make trade-offs in performance, taking photos, and charging.
But the vivo X Fold, as the flagship of the "Blue Factory" flagship, is quite comprehensive.
In terms of processors, it is equipped with a customized version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SPU chip, and the performance belongs to the existence of the ceiling in the folding screen.
And compared with the public version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen1, a new SPU (Secure Processing Unit) security processing unit has been added.
The advantage is that the data is not easy to lose, and the security is further improved.
In terms of cameras, vivo X Fold has moved the critically acclaimed ZEISS imaging system to the folding screen.
With a 50-megapixel oversized main camera, a periscope lens with a maximum 60x zoom is stuffed into the fuselage without being largely prominent.
With 48 million ultra-wide angles and portrait lenses, it constitutes a ZEISS full focal length quad camera, and the paper parameters are very scary.
In addition, the vivo X Fold also has ZEISS T* coating.
How the actual performance is, you can see the sample.
As for the battery life that everyone is most concerned about, the vivo X Fold is equipped with a 4600mAh battery.
Support 66W wired flash charging, as well as the first 50W wireless charging on the folding screen, the power is always online.
Interestingly, the vivo X Fold also comes standard with an 80W PD dual Type-C port charger.
Compatible with the fast charging protocol of most devices on the market, it can be said that it is very intimate.
—Finally—
Folding screen as the future development form of mobile phones, has been in the market for three years.
But for a long time, the folding screen product scheme is not mature. Deep creases, fragile screens, and brick-thick fuselages are all reasons to dissuade most consumers.
The application adaptation is small and the lack of practical scenarios makes it difficult for the folding screen to open the market stock.
Even if you buy a folding screen, you are holding the mentality of playing, and will not be the main machine.
The vivo X Fold, whether in terms of hinge, screen, performance, imagery or security, is a heap at any cost, laying the foundation for an excellent user experience.
Rich application scenarios are to make it closer to pragmatism and get rid of flashy labels.
It can be said that vivo X Fold is a more mature folding screen flagship, reflecting vivo's understanding of high-end business mobile phones, and also leading the folding screen industry into the 2.0 era.
If you want to experience the folding screen form, then it is a good choice.
Not to mention, compared to tens of thousands of other folding screens.
The starting price of vivo X Fold 8999 yuan is also quite restrained.
