Compared with the folding screen mobile phone (brand) that has been listed, vivo's "homework" is the latest, so it has more time to polish the product.
After a period of experience, vivo X Fold is indeed the most close to the perfect folding screen mobile phone used by Xiaobian: the new aerospace-grade floating wing hinge design eliminates the crease problem to the greatest extent, the main and secondary dual screens support 120Hz refresh rate operation silky smooth, but also the world's first folding screen mobile phone equipped with 3D ultrasonic dual screen fingerprints, unlocking the experience is the best.
Vivo X Fold is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SPU custom chip, support 80W wired flash charge and 50W wireless flash charge, built-in NFC and infrared remote control function, in the whole series equipped with ZEISS optical lens and ZEISS T* coating on the basis of the introduction of the traditional bar flagship are extremely rare periscope telephoto lens, covering all daily shooting focus segments.
Most importantly, the price of the vivo X Fold is only 8999 yuan, which is full of sincerity compared with tens of thousands of folding screen mobile phones in the past and not yet perfect.
Let's start with the hinge
For folding screen mobile phones, the hinged design plays a crucial role in eliminating creases, improving the durability of the inner screen, and whether to support hover operation.
To this end, vivo X Fold this time brought the "aerospace-class floating wing hinge", it uses a zirconium alloy floating plate inside the hinge, which can be used to rise or fall accordingly when the phone is opened or closed, used to support the center of the screen or provide sufficient space for the screen bending, and realizes the smallest water drop radius in the industry's left and right folding mobile phones - 2.3mm, a smaller bending radius means that the screen is bent less area, and the whole machine fits tightly when closed.
At the same time, the inner screen (main screen) of the vivo X Fold also uses pressure-resistant and durable UTT glass, which can further enhance the touch feel and optimize the screen crease. The presence of a floating plate that can hold up the center crease of the screen when the phone is turned on makes the screen appear more flat, the crease is extremely slight in indoor light, very narrow and relatively straight, and the feeling of sinking when our fingers gently cross the top of the hinge is no longer so obvious.
It is reported that the 174 parts of the vivo X Fold hinge use titanium alloys, zirconium alloys, carbon fibers and other six-fold aviation materials. Tested by Rheinland, its screen can withstand 300,000 folding tests, far exceeding the industry's existing 200,000 bending limit standards, and its reliability and durability are unmatched.
Thanks to the precision hinge, the vivo X Fold's screen can also be levitated at multiple angles, whether it is for hover shooting framing or long exposure, hovering video calls, or hovering video playback experience is very interesting and practical.
Approach the perfect screen
Vivo X Fold in the folded state of the three-dimensional is 162mm× 74.4mm× 14.91mm, the length and width and ordinary 6.5-inch mobile phone is almost the same, but the thickness exceeds the standard, the weight of 311g has a significant pressure feel, and it will produce greater pressure on the wrist when used for a long time.
The display ratio of vivo X Fold secondary screen (external screen) is 21:9, which is infinitely close to the 20:9 ratio commonly used by standard mobile phones such as vivo X Flod, which means that the second screen is displayed (number of icons, game field of view, etc.) or the operation experience is consistent with the mobile phone we usually use, unlike the "remote control" display ratio used by some folding screen mobile phones.
The main screen (inner screen) of the vivo X Fold has a display ratio of 4:3.55, a size of up to 8.03 inches, and a wide and shocking field of view, which can bring a nearly tablet-like experience.
After unfolding the screen, the three-dimensional dimension of the vivo X Fold becomes 62mm × 144.8mm × 6.28mm ~ 7.4mm, and the fuselage looks very thin at this time.
The most critical thing is that the main and secondary screens of vivo X Fold are AMOLED panels with E5 luminous materials, both support 120Hz refresh rate, using the same color calibration scheme, and switching at any time can bring a consistent smooth experience.
Many folding screen mobile phone competitors only the main screen uses a high brush screen, and the color performance is the best, the secondary screen is only the standard 60Hz, the color is relatively poor, this kind of product will bring people a clear sense of experience after switching between the inner and outer screens - the first 1 second is also silky smooth and colorful, and the last 1 second appears to be dull and stagnant.
The main screen setting interface can be as low as 1Hz
The main screen desktop can be as low as 10Hz
The home screen of the vivo X Fold supports LTPO adaptive refresh rate technology, which can switch between 1Hz and 120Hz according to the current display scene. For example, in the setting interface, the minimum can be reduced to 1Hz, the minimum can be reduced to 10Hz on the desktop, and the minimum can be reduced to 30Hz in the video APP.
The minimum number of 60Hz for the vice screen desktop
The minimum setting for the second screen is also 60Hz
However, the vivo X Fold's secondary screen can only switch between 120Hz and 60Hz.
Wet hands can also be unlocked
Vivo X Fold also has a killer selling point, that is, the main and secondary dual screens are integrated with 3D ultrasonic dual screen fingerprint module, bidding farewell to the past folding screen mobile phone general fingerprint side solution, and the recognition accuracy and unlocking speed are higher and faster than the traditional photoelectric unlocking technology, even if the fingers are wet can also achieve instant unlocking.
At the same time, it also includes facial recognition in the scope of encryption/unlocking, and can identify the owner of the mask, and the convenience it brings is self-evident in today's new crown epidemic.
Vivo X Fold frosted metal frame in the edge of the application of CNC trimming process, whether it looks or feels extremely high-grade, in the right side of the border on the upper position also added an independent mute switch, the top of the phone is equipped with an infrared remote control module, through the smart life APP can be used as a remote control for countless electrical appliances.
In terms of fuselage color matching, it is different from the common or conservative black/white traditional color matching. Vivo X Fold this business-oriented model, boldly use the two appearances of Qingshan blue and sycamore gray, the back cover using two-color stitching and embossed texture and other processes, the circular camera module is built on the square mirror ladder, this combination of square and circle, step-like distribution, material collision and texture modification and other means, so that the mobile phone looks more majestic atmosphere.
A more mature folding experience
The vivo X Fold's experience when the screen is closed is the same as that of ordinary mobile phones, so we mainly talk about its experience of using the main screen operation after expanding the screen.
Thanks to the 8.03-inch field of view, the biggest feeling of the vivo X Fold main screen is that it is shocking and more immersive. The same screen can display more application icons and small plug-ins, experience unlimited proximity to the tablet, with a more intuitive and efficient multitasking mode, such as split screen, small window, etc., vivo X Fold can free hands while improving work efficiency, selfie can also use the second screen to frame, security channel at the same time to display health treasure and itinerary code.
With a larger vision, we can play countless tricks, such as paying attention to the trading market while chasing dramas to pass the time.
At the same time, run the e-commerce APP for price comparison.
After opening 2 apps side by side, you can also open a small floating window of the APP.
Using a multi-angle hover of 60 to 120 degrees, the vivo X Fold can be shot and framed at more angles, and the desktop can be placed flat to watch videos with free hands.
Many people will be concerned about the display of the game screen on the folding screen mobile phone, and in this regard, the vivo X Fold does a very good job: in the display settings, we can customize the display ratio of the APP (full screen, 4:3 or 16:9).
When we expand the screen to play as the home screen, we need to turn the phone sideways, which is a state game in a 4:3.55 ratio.
Taking "Glory of Kings" as an example, we can compare the game view at the ratio of 21:9 on the second screen, 4:3.55 on the main screen and 16:9 on the main screen.
The main screen is displayed at 4:3.55
The main screen is displayed at 16:9 scale
The second screen is displayed in 21:9 ratio
It can be seen that the field of view on both sides of the game under the ratio of 21:9 on the second screen is wider, the field of view of the game is wider under the ratio of 4:3.55 on the main screen, the ratio of the main screen is between the two, and I personally feel that the ratio of 4:3.55 of the main screen has little impact on the actual game duel.
However, in the "League of Legends Mobile Game", the main screen 4:3.55 ratio compared to the second screen 21:9 loss of both sides of the field of vision is too much, when the wild enemy close to the body to realize hindsight, this game is still recommended to use the second screen game.
In Peace Elite, the 4:3.55 ratio of the main screen and the 21:9 ratio of the second screen have the same field of view on both sides, but the former has a wider field of view in the up and down directions, and the experience of using the main screen game is better.
In "Original God", although the main screen will lose the field of view on both sides, it has little impact on the exploration game, and it can also create a more immersive game atmosphere by expanding the field of view of the upper and lower corners, dispel the sense of visual oppression, in short, the experience of the main screen game is more refreshing.
Configure profiling
In order to allow users to play more refreshingly, vivo X Fold is equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SPU custom flagship chip + overclocking version of UFS3.1 flash memory and enhanced version of LPDDR5 storage hardware iron triangle, the theoretical performance reached the strongest android ecology.
In the 20-minute 3DMark Wild Life Extreme stress test, the vivo X Fold had a maximum score of 2502 and a minimum score of 2287, with a stability of 91.4%, which was still good in the same Snapdragon 8 flagship, and there was no cliff-like performance plummet.
Let's take a look at the performance of vivo X Fold in the actual game, the following tests are all used for the game using the second screen, the picture quality and special effects are fully open.
In an 8-minute game in the "Glory of Kings" Dream Smash Bros. Mode, the average frame count of the vivo X Fold is about 92fps, and the frame rate curve is fully framed.
In the 19-minute game of the "League of Legends Mobile Game" Polar Brawl, vivo X Fold is still a smooth 60fps frame rate curve.
In a 10-minute game on Peace Elite Island, the vivo X Fold can also achieve a smooth 60fps frame rate curve.
But in the extremely high quality of "Original God", the performance of the vivo X Fold is not satisfactory, the average frame rate is only 41fps, only in a few scenes and environments can reach 60fps, but it will soon drop.
In general, the use of vivo X Fold in the face of "Glory of Kings", "League of Legends Mobile Game" and "Peace Elite" level mobile games without any pressure, if you like to play the "Original God" level game for a long time, you need to appropriately reduce the quality of the picture to improve the frame rate, the whole game process of the fuselage heat is acceptable.
Compared with other Snapdragon 8 mobile phones, vivo X Fold is the first product to dig deep and adapt to the SPU (security processing unit) of Snapdragon 8 Gen1, so the official said that it is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SPU custom chip, which supports the atomic privacy system designed at the system level, builds a thousand mirror trusted engine for full-link full-scene privacy protection, and remote lock card, intelligent privacy protection, shutdown need to be unlocked, password safe and other functions can fully protect user privacy from the application level.
Vivo X Fold has a built-in 4600mAh capacity battery, supports 80W wired and 50W wireless flash charging, and 10W wireless reverse charging. Through actual measurements, the (wired) charge starts when the remaining 3% of the power is left, and it can be charged to 23% in 5 minutes, 50% in 15 minutes, and it is all fully charged in about 40 minutes.
