5G networks, flagship processors, high-quality screens, these are the current mobile platform power consumers, especially the screen. A screen that supports high resolution and high refresh rates releases considerable power consumption in use compared to other hardware. Therefore, on tablet computers, based on the volume of the product, manufacturers tend to stuff a large-capacity battery; and on mobile phones, limited by the volume limit, if you want to stuff a large battery in the fuselage of the land, you may need to increase the thickness of the fuselage.
So how the just released vivo X Note is stuffed into a 5000mAh large battery under the slim body of 8.37mm. How is the battery life performance of this large battery when dealing with 5G networks, Snapdragon 8, and 2K high screens at the same time?
According to the official introduction of vivo, vivo X Note uses a 4.48V voltage system lithium cobalt oxide material battery, compared to the common 4.45V voltage system battery on the market, the ratio of materials will be different, and the energy density will be higher. This means that vivo X Note can achieve greater battery capacity in a smaller footprint without affecting the charging efficiency of the battery.
So let's test how the vivo X Note actually performs in charging and battery life?
The vivo X Note supports 80W dual-cell flash charge + 50W wireless flash charge two charging methods, but also supports 10W wireless reverse charging, the following we test one by one.
The first is the 80W dual-cell flash charge, we use a 30-minute fast charge test template, starting from 1% to the vivo X Note for testing.
As shown in the figure, the vivo X Note 30 minutes to charge 96%, the final full charge time of 35 minutes, which is the same as the official advertised charge of 12 minutes can be full of half, full of 5000mAh, only less than 35 minutes of conclusion. Therefore, in terms of rapid blood return ability, the results of vivo X Note are very good.
I believe that everyone should have noticed that the official name of vivo X Note wired fast charge is dual battery flash charge, here or simply give everyone science popularization what is called double battery?
Compared with the traditional single cell, the meaning of dual battery is literally to stuff two cells into one battery. The advantage of a single cell is that the parts are small and the cost is low, but if you want to achieve fast charging, you need to use the "high voltage, high current" scheme to improve the charging power, so that the heating of the mobile phone will be serious, and the single cell supporting the large current scheme is also discounted in safety. When replaced by a dual-cell scheme, two charge pumps are used to charge the mobile phone in a cascade, and the two batteries work at the same time to achieve a doubling of the charging speed. Although the cost has gone up, it is more secure and stable.
Well, after gossip, let's continue to test the 50W wireless flash charge of the vivo X Note.
From the results, vivo X Note half-hour wireless charging can be charged with 68% of the power, and the official claim of 21 minutes full 50%, full 100% only 50 minutes of results although there is a difference, but the gap is not large.
On the whole, whether it is wireless or wired, it can give the vivo X Note a quick return of blood. Next, our vivo X Note's 10W wireless reverse charging, according to the test, after opening the "wireless reverse charging" function, you can wirelessly charge iPhones, AirPods and other devices, but the 10W charging power can only be used for emergency use, of course, we do not recommend that you use wireless reverse charging as a conventional way to power up other devices.
Wireless reverse charging
After the charging test, we will test the battery life performance of the vivo X Note, we use the 5-hour heavy battery life model, designed to simulate the battery life performance of the one-plus vivo X Note in the case of heavy use. We selected 7 of the most common scenarios:
Watch iQIYI video: play 45 minutes of 1080P resolution video in full screen;
Brush TikTok short video: Swipe the video browsing on the video interface, a total of 50 minutes.
QQ chat: 20 minutes of text chat, 15 minutes of voice chat and 15 minutes of video chat, a total of 50 minutes.
Swipe Weibo: Enter the list page and swipe for 45 minutes.
Camera recording: Record 1080P 30 frames of video for 15 minutes; default main camera takes 15 minutes, for a total of 30 minutes.
Play Glory of Kings: Battle Mode "Combat Confrontation", Map King's Canyon 5V5, test for 60 minutes.
Swipe mobile phone Taobao: Enter the Taobao home page and swipe, a total of 20 minutes.
The results are as follows:
It can be seen that after experiencing 5 hours of heavy battery life testing, the remaining power of vivo X Note is 39%, and the 1-hour game link of the most power-consuming scene is subdivided down, which consumes 23% of the power, which is also a normal phenomenon for a product with a 7-inch large screen and Snapdragon 8Gen1 processor. On the whole, the battery life performance of vivo X Note is completely more than enough for ordinary users, combined with the fast charging scheme of 80W dual battery flash charge + 50W wireless flash charge, heavy battery life anxiety users can also rest assured.
It is worth mentioning that the vivo X Note is equipped with a 1.5m long data cable and a Type-C port charger. The combination of long-line + Type-C port charger is very friendly for business people who often travel. At the same time, the Type-C port charger supports a variety of mainstream PD protocols on the market, which can meet the needs of fast charging for mobile phones, tablets and notebook computers at the same time.
A few final words
Thin and light and endurance are often two tracks that run counter to each other, and vivo X Note combines a thin and light feel with strong battery life by using a 4.48V voltage system lithium cobalt oxide material battery. In addition, this time vivo is equipped with a Type-C port charger in the packaging of the two new machines, and it seems that it is also intended to popularize the Type-C port charger. With the popularity of type-C port chargers, it may be the most acceptable "environmental protection" solution for users to mention the "environmental protection" problem to users.
