Last week, The Blue Factory Sanlian released its own folding screen X Fold, large-screen machine X Note and tablet vivo Pad, which is not busy.
Both X Fold and X Note Tony have already been reviewed, and now only this vivo Pad tablet is left.
Then Tony discovered something funny.
After the release of this tablet, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Vivo have their own tablet product lines.
And the three of them are like a good discussion, the tablet parameter configuration is similar, and the price is not expensive.
Is it true that the Android tablet is really ready to hug the group to do the iPad?
Whether you can do it iPad Tony does not know, but to say that to pick faults for the three tablets, Tony is still quite eager to talk.
It just so happens that these three machines are in Tony's hands, so let's put them together and have a good chat to see which tablet has the fewest problems and the most tricks.
I picked the Xiaomi Mi Tablet 5 Pro, OPPO Pad and vivo Pad and helped them fully pack up the equipment and equipped them with a full set of keyboards and pens.
The hardware parameters, price and Antu rabbit running score Tony of the three tablets are first pasted below, and poor friends who are interested in watching the parameters can have a sneak peek.
In terms of design, Tony's favorite of these three tablets is the design of vivo Pad, and the blue of this blue factory is indeed very attractive.
In the dimension of hardware configuration and cost performance, in fact, there is not much to say, and domestic manufacturers understand each other better than anyone.
Tablets to buy back, most consumers are put a iQiyi or Bilibili, understand.
The place that can really reflect the power of tablet products is actually in the part outside the entertainment function, and the core of this part, in fact, can be seen from the accessories and interconnection functions.
There is not much wrong with the keyboard and stylus itself for the tablet, after all, there is only such a large screen, it is not productive, and it must be a little high-end "input equipment" blessing.
But these three companies pay less attention to keyboards and pens, and they are not so active.
Take the folding of the keyboard, OPPO and Xiaomi use a back-suction keyboard, which can be folded on the desktop to support it.
The biggest problem with these two keyboards is that after installation, the tablet can only stand on the desktop at one angle to type, and cannot be adjusted.
Xiaomi's keyboard contacts are even at the bottom, if you want to lie flat and type, you can directly disconnect to show you.
OPPO's keyboard can be typed flat, but it uses a Bluetooth keyboard customized by the third-party accessory manufacturer Rapoo.
Not only do you have to keep bluetooth on when you are usually connected, but you also have to charge this keyboard separately.
Tony now finally understands why Apple's magic control keyboard sells so expensive, the floating keyboard is really easy to use and lightweight ah...
Oppo and Xiaomi's two keyboards have slots, but there is no big problem in daily use, and the most collapsed to Tony is the design of the vivo Pad keyboard.
Although it has both a trackpad and the angle of the tablet, its keyboard back shell is folded from top to bottom...
As long as you don't follow the step of folding and then standing, you can cause a serious drop accident, and the magnetic contact is as loose as Tony's increasingly dull skin.
Don't ask, ask is to suffer 100% Of the Environmental Damage▼
In this piece of stylus, Xiaomi and OPPO use the same stylus that supports magnetic charging as apple pencils.
The standard pressure sensitivity of 4096 levels and high sampling rate allow them to support richer pen-edge writing and a better follow-up experience.
However, at present, the Android side supports fewer stylus apps, in addition to the first-party artboard, OPPO Pencil is adapted to mainstream software such as Huion Sketch.
Drawing priorities can be reflected, brushes and basic shaders are also available, but in terms of drawing functions, Huion Sketch is still not as rich as Apple's Procreate.
Vivo uses the same stylus as the Surface Pen, which is stuffed into a No. 9 dry battery.
Although the former does not look like a plugged battery, it is a little more powerful, but in actual testing, the pen of the independent plug battery is indeed more awesome.
Take the part of writing notes, Xiaomi and OPPO's pens are limited to drawing and do not support handwriting recognition.
The vivo Pad's stylus + matching App not only supports handwritten font recognition, but also can be smeared and deleted, which is cool for friends with handwritten notes needs.
However, when this function is handwritten In English, there does not seem to be an automatic space between words, and it is necessary to manually press the keyboard.
In terms of drawing, the interaction logic of the three pens is basically similar to that of the iPad, but because the Android side does not have the killer drawing software like Apple's Procreate, the potential of the stylus has not been fully developed.

In general, the comprehensive experience of these three tablet accessories is basically between the Wolong phoenix chicks.
If you have to make a name, the OPPO tablet keyboard has the best typing feel, and the vivo tablet has the most rich stylus functions.
But their experience can be compared to the iPad, or a little worse, even if it is the same function, the use of details are completely different.
For example, the magnetic suction pen of the three Android tablets is not strong, the side position is not easy to explore, and it may fall seven times when it is sucked ten times.
And the iPad, whether it is Air4 or Pro, is a suck.
For example, Xiaomi's stylus supports long press free screenshots, see what is important, press a swipe, quite convenient, but edit the screenshot content to enter the secondary menu operation.
The iPad's screen take function is one step more than Xiaomi, after it finishes taking the screen, you can directly use the Apple Pencil to paint and mark the information in the screenshot.
Such a "pen", the judgment was made.
In addition to the pen and keyboard, Tony found that the blue-green rice invariably came standard with a function called "cross-screen interconnection" on the tablet.
This feature has been seen on Huawei's devices before, and as a form of device interconnection, it is quite direct.
Use well, is to enhance the ecological experience, use is not good, but also harmless.
But to be honest, the three companies have not optimized this function to the best.
The short man is tall, and the degree of completion is better than vivo Pad, combined with the system UI of Origin OS HD, which has a bit of an interconnected office flavor.
As long as it is a mobile phone with Blue Factory Origin OS, after turning on NFC, sweep to the upper right corner of the vivo Pad, you can project the phone screen onto the tablet.
Compared with the interaction found in the mobile phone settings, it is still much more convenient.
After connecting, all the operations of the mobile phone can be synchronized to the tablet, including the mobile phone camera, and can also be mobilized on the tablet.
Using this feature as a camera monitor to comb your hair may also be useful.
On file transfer, vivo Pad supports direct drag and drop of photos, but after the transfer, you need to click to enlarge the display, if you can directly display the large screen after pulling over, it is more comfortable.
OPPO and Xiaomi two brothers compared to the blue factory is more embarrassing, Xiaomi cross-device photos can be dragged, but there is no way to directly drag to the desktop of the tablet, must be dragged into the folder.
As for OPPO, it is completely unable to delay...
To sum up, the interaction after casting the phone screen on the tablet is really eye-catching for the first time, but after the fresh energy has passed, the desire to open it again is not great.
Let's see how Renhua is doing, while doing a good job of "cross-screen", they also implement the "Interconnection" to the end.
For example, Huawei can do file management on the tablet, and a terminal can grasp the situation of all devices, which will stimulate the advantages of the tablet.
During the test, Tony also came across an interesting thing.
That is Xiaomi's "cross-screen interconnection" function, and you have to go to the Xiaomi community to apply for the internal test of "Xiaomi Magic Center" in order to download the experience.
Blue and green are given directly, on the millet is still in the internal test...
The points of your rice community must also reach the 200 points set by Mr. Jin Fan in order to join the "Magic Enjoyment Center Group" and try this function, otherwise you will have to revisit the Bible.
But as long as you pass the test of Teacher Jin Fan, you are eligible to use "cross-screen interconnection" on the Xiaomi tablet.
I have to say that the interaction method of Xiaomi's connection is still quite interesting, which is to drag the phone to the tablet device in the way of dragging the bubble.
It's a bit of a "Connected Everything" flavor. ▼
In addition, Tony feels that the "cross-screen interconnection" function of these three tablets is only limited to "casting the phone screen to the tablet".
This time, when Tony evaluated these three tablets, he deliberately found two points of "keyboard, stylus" and "cross-screen interconnection" to cut in.
If nothing else, just to see how much "productivity" manufacturers are willing to pour into their tablets.
However, the result is regrettable, they did it, but they did not do it seriously.
Fortunately, people who buy tablets now probably don't know what they want.
You may not believe it when you say it, but another competitive dimension for people to consider whether to buy a tablet today is a notebook.
o a ◇
In other words, most people care about whether they need a notebook or a tablet.
Tony felt that although the tablet was also called a computer, its purchase priority was not so high compared to a real laptop.
From my own point of view, I think that the order in which volkswagens have personal digital devices should be first mobile phones, computers/notebooks, and finally tablets.
In the end, most of the things that tablets can do will be able to do on mobile phones at once, and the big things that tablets can't do with laptops.
The real audience of tablets must be a very detailed role in their own positioning.
For example, students who need to listen to online classes and practice painting at any time, or workers who travel a lot and need to quickly edit text and PPT at any time.
The Android tablets introduced today can probably meet the needs of some people, but Tony's final suggestion is:
Now that you've made up your mind to buy it, be nicer to yourself and spend more money on a better iPad.
