What can vivo's self-developed chip V1+ do? Image improvement is by no means the end point

Recently, Vivo held an online conference to bring you the annual flagship flag model vivo X80 series, which includes two products, vivo X80 and vivo X80 Pro. In order to stand out in the market with serious homogenization, the vivo X80 series not only adopts a flagship processor, but also carries vivo's new generation of self-developed chip V1+, as the killer of vivo's "breaking the circle", it has ushered in an upgrade in many aspects. Next, the author will take you to carefully understand the power of the self-developed chip V1+.

01 What exactly is the self-developed chip V1+?

Before starting the actual test, we still have to explore what is the self-developed chip V1+? What are the features? What role does it play in the actual use environment?

With the continuous improvement of the R & D capabilities of various manufacturers, the four words of self-developed chips are not a new thing, and the computing power constraints of the general computing unit on the image and performance of mobile phones can be broken through the self-developed chips, thereby improving the performance of mobile phones. Vivo's self-developed chip V1+ as an iterative product of V1 has a lot of improvements in functionality.

On the basis of retaining the image functions of the previous generation, the self-developed chip V1+ expands the functions to the field of performance and display, and expands the support for game and video visual experience.

Talking about this, you may understand what the functions of the self-developed chip V1+ are, and what differences can be brought to everyone's machine experience after being applied to the mobile phone.

02 Take pictures: color reproduction + night vision goggles, making shooting easier

First of all, the self-developed chip V1+ has a huge improvement in imagery, which has been further optimized for night scene shooting, extending the black light night vision function to the front and wide-angle lenses, covering all scenes in the full-time focus section, and improving the camera and video capabilities of the mobile phone.

Vivo X80 Pro compared to other phones in extremely dark environments

Through testing, it is not difficult to find that the self-developed chip V1 + low-light mobile phone "night vision" function is still very good in the actual photo, even if it is shot in an environment close to total darkness, it can also restore the details of the subject, compared with other brands of mobile phones, vivo X80 Pro can also bring you a relatively pure background under the premise of ensuring details, avoiding too much noise when shooting at night.

Not only that, the self-developed chip V1+ also brings you full-link color management from the four dimensions of detection, shooting, processing and display, starting from automatic metering technology, launching the "AI perception engine" technology, the largest restoration of the human eye perception, so that the picture is more transparent, bringing you a more immersive experience.

In sunny daytime scenes, the vivo X80 Pro is still very good. Both the detail restoration of the photo and the color transition of the picture show the high level of its imaging ability. In the sample, we can find that the vivo X80 Pro's color reproduction ability is very strong, perfectly restoring the color of the wooden door; and, due to the use of high-pixel outsole sensor, the details of the picture are also very good.

In addition to night scene and landscape photography, the self-developed chip V1+ also adds AI skin texture technology to portrait photography, and generates a confrontation network AI algorithm through massive high-definition materials and GANs, making the skin look natural, healthy and more textured.

Through the sample, we can see that the rear experience of the vivo X80 Pro is still very good, you can see that the photo is very sharp, the makeup details of the little sister's face, such as the strands of hair, and the pattern on the clothes are clearly visible. In addition, the skin color of the portrait has also been strengthened, the tone is more ruddy and white, and the facial features are also prominent, making the face look more three-dimensional.

03 Performance: Dual core flagship, high frame low power consumption

This time, vivo X80 Pro brought you a dual-platform flagship chip, namely Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 and MediaTek Tianji 9000, both processors are perfectly adapted to vivo self-developed chip V1+, which can easily achieve more than one million running points and smooth performance experience.

Through the running score test, we also confirmed the above points. Vivo X80 Pro has a test score of 1006008 in AntuTu and 9683 points in 3DMark Wild Life, which is a very good running score. According to the running score, we can also see the vivo X80 Pro's ability to adjust the chip. Of course, because the test model is the Snapdragon 8 version, we still can't know the specific performance of the Tianji 9000 version, but according to the official news of vivo, the Tianji 9000 version with the self-developed chip V1+ is also very good in terms of performance.

In terms of gaming, thanks to vivo's exclusive tuning, vivo X80 Pro can achieve 120 frames of dual core superframes. This function can adjust different frame rates for different games, and when you have high frame requirements, you can bring you a smooth game experience comparable to 120 frames through interpolation.

In addition to this, we can also choose between high frame rate mode and low power mode. Modern people understand the high frame rate mode, which literally means that everyone can experience a higher frame rate than the native frame rate when playing the game, and get a very smooth game experience. In fact, in addition to high frame performance, it is also compatible with low frame power consumption experiences. For example, when we play the "Peace Elite" game, the maximum frame rate is only 90 frames, but if it runs at the highest frame rate for a long time, the device is prone to heat up, stuttering and other phenomena, and the game experience is not good. In order to avoid such a situation, we can choose the high frame rate mode, which can automatically run the game at a frame rate of 60 frames, bringing 90 frames of fluency to everyone through interpolation. So look at it this way, if you run the game for a long time at 60 frames compared with running the game for a long time at 90 frames, 60 frames will definitely bring you better performance.

The second point is the low-power mode, which literally means that it is possible to reduce the power consumption performance during the game in some way. In fact, the low-power mode is very easy to understand, it can directly interpolate 45 frames of the game to 90 frames, so that the power consumption is lower. For example, when we play the Game of "Original God", if we want to get the best experience, we must choose 60 frames, which can be 60 frames, and the high frame rate will make the phone in a high load state for a long time. At this point, we can choose to use 45 frames for the game, through the form of game interstitial frames to 90 frames, under the premise of ensuring power consumption, we can get a better smoothness experience than the native 60 frames.

The author has this to say:

I believe that through the above introduction, everyone has a basic understanding of the functions and performance of the self-developed chip V1+, and the self-developed chip can indeed let everyone get a better machine experience. From the self-developed chip V1 to the V1+ that everyone sees today, whether it is from the hardware level or the software algorithm, it is not an easy task to continuously improve and upgrade, and it is not easy to do without me.

For vivo, the self-developed chip V1+ can not only make it stand out from the homogenized mobile phone market, but also show its cutting-edge technology to the outside world and friends. At present, more and more mobile phone brands have joined the team of self-developed chips, but the author wants to say that "there is no shortcut to self-developed chips, only research and development is the last word", and I hope that in the future, there will be more products such as vivo self-developed chips V1+ in the market, so that everyone can experience the difference of self-developed chips.
