Vivo X80 series is finally officially released, X80 standard version with Tianji 9000, X80Pro has Tianji 9000 and Snapdragon 8 two versions, and the price remains the same. Let's briefly talk about vivo and MediaTek Tianji 9000.
The cost of using Tianji 9000 can be reduced a little, and the performance is also there, coupled with the heat consumption of Snapdragon 8, there are still many people who feel that Snapdragon 8 is not as good as Tianji 9000, which makes it more advantageous for manufacturers to use Tianji 9000, which can save money, everyone also said good, why not?
For MediaTek, I also hope that some manufacturers will stand up and help him raise his brand image, after all, MediaTek's brand is really difficult to accept. Originally, the first launch of this chip was Redmi, but it was finally taken away by OPPO, and I think a big reason is because OPPO put it on the Find5 series, which can impress MediaTek more than on the Redmi K series, because MediaTek really lacks the market for high-end flagship chips.
However, in the end, OPPO did not use the Mariana chip on the Tianji 9000 version, nor did it have Hasselblad, which actually shows that the difficulty and cost of using the MediaTek platform in image tuning is very large.
The result is very interesting, vivo officially announced that the x80 series uses Tianji 9000, and also said that it is the first home natural image chip to tune with MediaTek Tianji 9000, which connotates OPPO, confirming that vivo x80 series wants to use V1 image chips to enhance the image of MediaTek Tianji 9000, or to release the imaging capabilities of MediaTek Tianji 9000.
MediaTek's image is not good, some people say that this is because the manufacturer is not willing to adjust, not mediatek's strength is not good. At first glance, it makes a lot of sense, but the person who said this actually ignores the point, if your mediatek strength is really good, why not give you a lesson?
Compared with the more mature Qualcomm chips, the cost and difficulty of tuning MediaTek will be greater, which is indeed true, but the more critical thing is that MediaTek has not come up with a decent high-end chip before, let alone defeat Qualcomm, so you look at the mobile phones that use MediaTek's so-called "high-end chips" before, in fact, none of them are really top flagships, and the choices of manufacturers on top flagship mobile phones are invariably Qualcomm, which is MediaTek's own strength, word of mouth is not GOOD, In the past, the continuous hair and the impression given to people is that there are nine cores of onlookers, not only the performance can not keep up, the fever is also very serious, MediaTek for a long time can only rely on the low-end chip market to stabilize the position, manufacturers are also afraid that their top flagship in the market is difficult to be recognized, difficult to be accepted, and finally sales hit the street.
So no matter what kind of chip MediaTek launched before, in the end, it can't get rid of being used in the lower grade of major brands, and at this point, Xiaomi is the best, when can you see MediaTek's chips on the Xiaomi MIX series or digital flagship series? Basically, they can only be used on a low-grade Redmi mobile phone, and on these mobile phones, where do you get the courage to require manufacturers to configure good imaging hardware for him? Without the support of these hardware, relying on God optimization to improve the camera experience is absolutely nonsense. So in the final analysis, MediaTek's own reputation is not good, but also pit itself, but also let it fall into the image ability is not good, consumers do not buy it, manufacturers because they are worried that consumers do not buy it, so they are not willing to adjust the vicious circle.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 appeared in the heat and power consumption problem, giving MediaTek the opportunity to reverse this time, with its own publicity let many people believe that Tianji 9000 will do well, so MediaTek's word-of-mouth sprint is a certain reversal. Nowadays, vivo in the X80 series to save MediaTek's images, joined the image chip V1+, and has the blessing of ZEISS lenses, in addition, the X80Pro series also uses vivo's featured micro-gimbal, which can basically be announced that this is currently the mobile phone manufacturer that customizes the most imaging software and hardware for MediaTek chip mobile phones! If you start from vivo, manufacturers are willing to adjust MediaTek to exert efforts on images, which is also a good thing from the perspective of promoting industry competition.
In terms of price, we can also see vivo's current mentality, vivoX80 as the standard version has used Tianji 9000, while the starting price of the 8GB+128GB version is 3699 yuan, and the price of 8GB+256GB is 3999 yuan. This price is interesting, because the sub-brand iQOO9 is obviously not as good as vivo X80 in all aspects, but the release price of the 8+256GB version of iQOO9 at that time has reached 3999 yuan, which has equaled the price of vivo X80 and 8GB+256GB configuration. That is to say, vivo used a better configuration on the X80, but the price was not sold more expensive.
In addition, the price of the VivoX80Pro's Tianji 9000 version is consistent with the price of the Snapdragon 8 version, 12GB+256GB is 5999 yuan, but the Snapdragon 8 version has a low-end 8+128GB version, and the price is 5499 yuan. The configuration of the two versions is exactly the same except for the chip. In other words, Vivo has high hopes for mediatek Tianji 9000, but still trusts the Snapdragon 8 in the sales of top flagship models. For MediaTek, the vivo X80Pro has pulled the price of tianji 9000 to the five thousand yuan grade, although there is a more expensive OPPO FindX5 Pro tianji version, but the vivo X80Pro is obviously more competitive.
It can be said that MediaTek should also take vivo as a life-saving straw this time, save its performance in the high-end market, save its own reputation, and we also hope that MediaTek can be more competitive, in the absence of Huawei Kirin competition today, do not let Qualcomm dominate in the Android field.
