The flexible screen gives the possibility of folding screen mobile phones, but it does not mean that folding screen mobile phones will be as people wish, although this gives mobile phone manufacturers a very high degree of freedom in the design and manufacturing direction, different internal and external sizes, different opening and closing directions, which makes the original highly unified traditional smart phone market present a differentiated definition of the attributes, but also allow users to choose more inclined to solve their own needs of the scene. However, a series of problems such as screen creases and hinge life began to make the folding screen mobile phone that seemed to be expected to move from concept to the public less beautiful, until vivo was the last to join the war.
Following the official release of vivo X Fold a few days ago, the seven dragon balls in the folding screen mobile phone market are also officially gathered (Samsung, Huawei, vivo, OPPO, Xiaomi, glory, Moto), as the last brand to enter the folding screen classification, vivo finally offers us not regrets, but to wait and see its changes, surprises and achievements. Surprisingly, vivo X Fold has been infinitely closer to maturity and perfection than other products, and the achievement is that vivo has created a new peak in industrial design and product technology.
Vivo X Fold positioning and market orientation is very clear, that is, high-end business consumer groups, in this part of the group, the expansion of the flexible screen is only an introduction, and more is how to rely on this introduction to achieve a richer scene experience.
In terms of design, vivo X Fold main frame and hinge can be described as stainless steel jia aluminum, the fuselage double side of the middle frame are made of high-strength metal material, just the right CNC process gives the whole frame height of the sense of consistency, and more prominent is the hinge hinge, under the metal mask of the same color of the frame, through the aerospace-grade floating wing hinge composed of 174 precision parts not only realizes the stepless positioning of the opening and closing angle, but also the life and damping strength have reached a new height. The most critical thing is that in determining the flatness of the screen crease, the floating plate is also provided above the vivo X Fold hinge to add better support, which effectively guarantees the reliability of long-term use in the context of Rheinland's 300,000 folding certification.
In order to provide a more comfortable grip, vivo X Fold does not simply introduce glass materials like many products, but increases the comfort of delicate skin through plain leather. In fact, the positioning of the vivo X series itself has determined its own flagship attributes, and the plain leather material has gradually replaced the previous single glass and metal back shell in the X series, which can not only greatly enhance the style of the product, but also be able to reach a higher grade in the touch.
The key factor of the folding screen mobile phone is still the screen, and the screen determines the internal cause of product differentiation. Unlike many folding screen mobile phones to the outer screen as an auxiliary screen, vivo X Fold directly introduced the concept of conventional smart phones on the outer screen design, the entire outer screen adopts a full screen design, and adopts a single-sided curved surface, this design method effectively increases the adaptability of the folding screen mobile phone, compared to the model that relies solely on the folding inner screen, the conventional operation of this phone is no different from that of ordinary smart phones, after all, we need the folding screen mobile phone to use the inner screen to solve the needs of special scenes, The external screen that is relied on by the conventional operation is closer to the mainstream, otherwise the tablet can be completely replaced, why bother to choose the folding screen model at the level of ten thousand yuan? Therefore, this concept of heavy internal and external screens determines whether users can benefit from daily use, and the normalized external screen design of vivo X Fold is completely seamless for users to get started.
In terms of the quality of the screen itself, the outer screen of the vivo X Fold is a 6.53-inch Samsung E5 screen, the resolution is 1080P, the display ratio is 21:9, 120HZ high brush, while having a 1300nit brightness, the front camera also adopts a central design, which makes the daily operation and display of the smartphone can be carried out through non-extended conditions. The inner screen of the machine uses the same brilliant UTG ultra-tough glass screen, the size reaches 8 inches, the same belongs to the Samsung E5 material, the resolution reaches 2K level, and has a 4:3.55 display ratio, the visual impact after the unfolding is very prominent, the same 120HZ high refresh rate makes the internal and external simultaneous display bring the same excellent visual experience, and the inner screen on the right also added a built-in front camera, in the flat state can also be video calls, selfies, etc.
Vivo X Fold inner screen experience also into the more adaptive, such as video entertainment scenes, Youku, Tencent Video and other video App support version of the half-screen display, which means that the mobile phone can be placed on the desktop, do not need the phone bracket to watch, and the undiminished half-screen part can also be used as a trackpad operation, quite a laptop feeling, and the front camera shooting and video chat of the inner screen are also supported by half-screen operation, Thus further bringing rich adaptability to the user's use.
The powerful experience of folding screen mobile phones is not only that, for example, the crossover function of conventional smart phones is more comprehensive in the large inner screen, and the two sides of the half screen display different App content, and the visual and operation experience is also better. For users with special needs, especially financial people and investors who often watch the market, the excellent vision effect of vivo X Fold can present more market information on a single screen in many trading software, especially in this rapidly changing market state, a screen with a wider visible interface is particularly practical.
Of course, the user of the folding screen mobile phone does not explicitly include gamers, but in fact, the low aspect ratio screen can also bring different views in the game experience, such as "Glory of the King", the conventional field of view area is more concentrated on both sides of the screen, and in the folding screen state, the height of the screen will be extended to the invisible area above the diagonal, thereby proposing a larger field of view.
In terms of performance configuration, vivo X Fold directly pulled the specifications full, obviously do not want to leave any regrets for a high-end product close to ten thousand yuan. In terms of platform selection, this product uses Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 chip, with the high energy efficiency performance of the ARMv9 architecture, this chip has become the standard in the game phone, and also with the help of excellent GPU performance, in the state of high resolution, it can still provide a smooth and powerful output to this folding screen mobile phone. Of course, the performance is not the focus on the folding screen itself, more is to release the fluency brought by high performance into multitasking, which is more suitable for a large-screen product, so as to meet the user's multi-task operation needs, at the same time, more advanced chips also effectively improve the product itself and the life cycle, so that in the next few years can still release more experience performance.
The vivo X series has always been at the top level of the market flagship model in terms of image performance, especially after the addition of ZEISS and self-developed independent image chips, this advantage is gradually expanding, and the vivo X Fold is naturally no exception.
It is worth mentioning that vivo has been very deep and meticulous in the external mirror, and with the in-depth cooperation with ZEISS, the integrated external mirror has also been adopted on the machine, and zeiss T* coating has been added, thereby further increasing the light transmittance.
Vivo X Fold's image performance is really difficult to pick out what is wrong, we have taken a real shot in multiple focal lengths, the actual performance is indeed highly satisfactory, whether it is the accurate performance of white balance, or the basic picture elements such as color and sharpness, it is remarkable, and it is prominent that even in the lens switching of multiple focal lengths, the color temperature of the vivo X Fold film is maintained with a high degree of consistency, and there will be no obvious differences because of the different suppliers of the sensor.
In order to further increase the difficulty of imaging, most of the scenes in the real shot are backlit and side backlighting, but the performance in the sample has to be dormant, especially the performance of the backlight prospect is still the slightest, which is enough to see that vivo has reached a very high level of integration in devices and algorithms.
Finally, it may be said that many netizens are concerned about the battery life problem, according to the traditional concept, folding screen mobile phone because of the existence of dual screen or larger screen, the battery life time will often be shorter, but in fact, vivo X Fold battery life performance does not cause standby shrinkage because of the drag of the screen.
In the actual experience, we try to put more frequency of use in the unfolded inner screen scene, under the moderate use intensity, the battery life market of this phone easily copes with the demand of the whole day, and thanks to the pixel power saving of AMOLED and ltpo intelligent variable refresh rate technology, the battery pressure given by the screen itself has not been amplified, but 4600mAh is still not losing the performance of conventional smartphones.
In addition, in terms of fast charging, vivo X Fold provides 66W wired flash charge and 50W wireless flash charge, and the charging adapter adopts a dual C-port design, which can meet the needs of users when using thin and light mobile PCs, while supplying power, which greatly reduces the burden of daily out-of-home power adapters.
Afterword:
Finally, let's go back to the topic of the market. Let's not say whether the folding screen mobile phone can become a trend in the end, just to say that the design and manufacture of such mobile phones at this stage has challenged the industrial design capabilities of the vast majority of brands, although the first products more or less have some flaws, but in the final analysis, it is not only a flexible screen can achieve the problem.
Vivo, which has always been at the forefront of industrial design, reflects the universality of many products in the industry before the overturning of many products, either not to do it, or to solve the problem and then do it, although it is a little late, but for consumers, whether you are a successful person in the business world, or a middle class that is willing to experience, vivo's resolute pace has given everyone the confidence to choose.
If you look at the big picture, this lean attitude will also inject more confidence into the market, combined with more adaptable functions to enrich the scenes that conventional mobile phone products cannot achieve, so vivo X Fold is not a vase, nor is it a concept product, and its significance has exceeded its own excellent category.
In fact, after we got started with this product, we also found that no matter the design, process, function or experience, nearly every detail, vivo X Fold is pressing the industry's first folding screen model. Moreover, vivo X Fold not only achieves outstanding refinement in the product, but more importantly, its price has been pushed in the direction of cost performance, which is a rare phenomenon of the vivo X series from the vertical market point of view. I would like to ask, if you choose a ten-thousand-dollar folding screen mobile phone, can you accept such and such questions? If you don't have to choose a high premium product with a price that is almost twice as high as the idea of buying luxury, then the vivo X Fold that is late for better naturally means that it will eventually succeed.
