On the evening of April 25, Vivo released a new generation of flagship X80 (Pro) series. The author also watched the online conference. In this epidemic situation, the unsealed busy hoarding, the sealed busy "Liu Qihong" at the moment, the release of new smart phones does not seem to have brought too much discussion. Especially in the case of the flagship machines of the new Snapdragon and Tianji 9000 series, which have already appeared in a large wave. What kind of confidence does the vivo X80, which is a late step, have?
There is only one answer - super image ability with no dead angles in all directions! 、
In fact, in the past few years when Huawei suffered a cold winter, the domestic group found that most of the original high-end market was divided by Apple after ushering in a short period of snickering, which became more obvious after the starting price of iPhone 12 and 13 was slightly lowered. Therefore, in the environment of rising materials, labor, and marketing costs, the impact (standing) of the high-end has become the most focused direction for domestic manufacturers, and even Mijia, which has always been known for its "thick road", has begun to pursue a premium.
Therefore, at the press conference, I did not pay special attention to the X80, because the price range of 3699 was originally the home of the domestic Android machine. 1000 yuan cheaper than the new iPhone, hardware configuration, especially the image unit comprehensively surpassed, non-fruit powder at a glance to know how to choose, fruit powder with iPhone after a re-entry to experience the cost is not high.
What really needs attention is the X80 Pro version, which not only carries most of the "black technology" that has been warmed up in advance, but also stands on the real flagship price points starting from 5499 (Snapdragon version) and 5999 (Tianji 9000 version).
In terms of brand power and consumption power, for domestic Android machines with more than 5,000 grades, ordinary consumers cannot "buy with their eyes closed" or "grit their teeth" like for the iPhone. Consumption in this gear is often the result of deliberation, and potential users of non-digital enthusiasts will surely ask themselves before placing an order:
Is it really worth it to buy an Android flagship with the money of a new iPhone?
In fact, as far as the core SoC + storage + memory + screen are concerned, the X80 series is similar to the online brand of the 2500-3000 gear, and it is difficult for ordinary users to feel the addition of heat dissipation materials and material processes. The main reason for convincing users to spend more than 2,000 yuan is still in the image.
Personally, I think the most competitive is the "micro-gimbal" technology that was introduced from the previous generation of X and continuously optimized.
Tell me a little bit about my observations, which may not be accurate.
First of all, in the use of mobile phone imaging systems by users, the proportion of video is getting higher and higher, which should not be controversial, right?
Secondly, although the price of the mobile phone gimbal is already very low, I still rarely see ordinary users using stabilizers when shooting videos, and really professional, semi-professional image creators often prefer a combination of SLR (micro-single) + stabilizer.
Third, except for some special scenes, ordinary users basically can't see that the camera belt does not have OIS (photos), but it is easy to see that the video is unstable.
You see, in this way, the advantages of the X80 micro-gimbal are not reflected?
Different from the previous generation, Vivo put the upgraded micro-gimbal on the portrait lens instead of the main camera this time, this is because the equivalent 50mm is the focal section that is closest to the human eye and the most natural effect of shooting portrait perspective, and it is also the focal segment mostly used in our mobile phone video shooting - after all, taking photos can shoot scenes, and shooting videos is mostly shooting people.
What's more, according to the law that the closer to the wide-angle end, the easier it is to control the jitter (the angle of view is large, the jitter is not easy to detect), and it is obviously more reasonable to put the micro-gimbal on the 2X or so lens.
In addition, zeiss' blessing is also mainly reflected in this portrait lens, which also gives users the biggest bonus of "my mobile phone can shoot good films that other families can't shoot".
The addition of periscope lenses completes the last shortcoming of the flagship imaging system. Although I personally think that the 8-megapixel specification is slightly lower (if the specifications like the Honor magic series telephoto head are invincible), it is also enough for daily use.
As for the exclusive outsole main camera on the Pro, it may mean more to digital players in my opinion, how can ordinary users distinguish the essential difference between the photos taken by the GNV sensor and the cabbage-based imx766?
You said that your bottom is high in pixels, people ask out a beautiful model, and the film crushes your vegetarian photos in minutes :)
Therefore, for the X80 series, if there is a continuous output of users' high-quality videos and photos, the product power can be truly reflected, and it is natural to stand at the high end.
