As an important strategic product of the vivo brand, the S series has always been characterized by its thin and fashionable appearance and portrait images. In terms of appearance, vivo has incorporated oriental aesthetics into the underlying genes of the S series through its own industrial design, forming its own "Oriental Aesthetics Universe". In terms of images, the vivo S series takes studio-level portraits as the long-term goal, and has been on the road of exploration on how to shoot people well through continuous breakthroughs in soft light and algorithms.
vivo S18 ProAs a new masterpiece of the series, it inherits and continues the spirit of its predecessor while bringing a new "flowery" color scheme on the appearance, and the image brings the same image system as the flagship, continuing to provide consumers with the most beautiful mobile phone products "from the outside to the inside".
The flowers are like brocade, the water is light, and the layers of light and shadow shine
From the earliest blue and white porcelain to the previous Yan Ruyu, vivo is rooted in the unique aesthetics of Chinese culture and explores the beauty of Chinese romance. The new color scheme "Flowers Like Brocade" brought by vivo S18 this time is taken from the flowers in the oriental artistic conception, and condenses elements such as petals and cloud brocade, bringing consumers a sense of "thousands of flowers with low branches".
On vivo S18 Pro, we can see that the petal-like pattern covers the entire back panel of the phone, and under the refraction of light, it also presents a more delicate petal texture, layered on top of each other, like several petals that have bloomed on top of the phone. In order to present such an effect, vivo's designers cut 256 facets horizontally through 13 million tangents at different angles, creating light and shadow changes on the micron-level coating to create visual errors, and finally depicting the lifelike stretching dynamics of the petals.
In addition, on the back panel of this "flowery" mobile phone, vivo adopts the first Yunjin glass process. Through this process, a square diamond with a diameter of about 50 meters is created, and through the difference in shape and direction between the drill bodies, the texture and luster of the petals shine under the light. At the same time, this design not only retains the smooth touch of glass, but also does not easily leave scratches and fingerprints, and the delicate feel is as smooth and smooth as silk.
As a window of vitality on the back panel, vivo S18 Pro upgrades the cloud window design of the lens Deco, inspired by the glimpse of light, and upgrades the "water mirror cloud window" derived from Chinese architectural design to "water light cloud window", and the design of the two rounded square windows retains the sense of order of the rectangle and the agility of the arc at the same time. In addition, the square frame of the three lenses is designed with 2.5D glass, polishing the R angle that is about to overflow like water droplets, echoing the arc of the square window base.
Studio-level portraits that illuminate your beauty again
When it comes to the image function of the vivo S series, the first thing that flashes in the author's mind is the advertising slogan that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - vivo, illuminate your beauty. After years of product iteration and development, the soft light has become an important logo of the vivo S series, and in the latest S18 series, the soft ring of the rear lens has been upgraded to the studio level, with 19 times the area of an ordinary mobile phone flash, and the softness is also 50 times that of an ordinary flash.
In the actual use process, this studio-grade soft light can gently and evenly illuminate the skin of the characters in a low-light environment, and at the same time, it cooperates with vivo's image algorithm that has been polished for many years to bring users better skin effects. In addition, vivo S18 Pro can also detect the distance of portraits in real time, and intelligently adjust the soft brightness accordingly. This allows users to have the most suitable light when shooting, no matter what distance they are at or what composition they use.
It is worth mentioning that vivo S18 Pro's soft light can also create portrait photos with different atmospheres, because the color temperature adjustment range of this lamp has been increased by 20% compared with the previous generation, and it supports multi-level adjustment of cold and warm color temperatures. Whether it's a warm candlelit dinner or a cold white snow photo, vivo S18 Pro can easily adapt.
As you can see from the sample shots, the photos taken with the vivo S18 retain the realistic texture while presenting a more natural look and feel. And vivo also makes precise adjustments to the level of detail, and finally brings portrait photos that exceed expectations. It is worth mentioning that this year, vivo also brought a new "dopamine film photo frame" on the S18, which intelligently captures the color through the picture to form a color frame watermark exclusive to this photo, providing users with more possibilities for easy sharing.
The vivo S18 Pro not only gets a big upgrade to the soft light, but also on the rear camera. It is equipped with the X100 same Sony 50 million pixel IMX920 flagship main camera sensor, X100 same 50 million pixel ultra wide angle sensor, and X90 same professional telephoto portrait sensor, plus OIS hummingbird super image stabilization, whether it is day, night, or indoor and outdoor, you can get better image quality.
When it comes to portrait shooting, how can you ignore the front selfie?vivo S18 Pro is equipped with a 50 million pixel portrait lens on the front, with f/2.0 aperture and AF autofocus, and 90° wide-angle autofocus supports free zoom between 0.8x~2x, plus 90-degree wide-angle soft light and screen light source provide double fill light effect, so that the young lady's selfie is clearer and three-dimensional, the skin texture is more uniform and transparent, and the imaging effect is more textured.
Who said that thinness and performance can't be combined
As vivo's sub-flagship product, the S series naturally has a level of performance that matches it, and vivo S18 Pro uses TSMC's second-generation 4nm process flagship chip - Dimensity 9200+ on the SoC.
After the Antutu running score measurement, vivo S18 Pro got a score of 1.44 million+, which is a good performance. And in daily use, the performance of this model is also as netizens said - "Dimensity tuning to see the blue factory". Whether it is the opening and switching of commonly used software, or the 120Hz "Honor of Kings" under the extreme image quality, vivo S18 Pro performs silky and smooth, and even the 60Hz "Genshin Impact" under high image quality can be played for a long time.
Since the game is mentioned, we have to talk about this screen of the vivo S18 Pro. It has a peak brightness of 2800nits, the global brightness can also reach 1200nits, the resolution is 2800*1260, and it supports P3 wide color gamut, 10bit color depth and 120Hz screen refresh rate and up to 2000Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate.
It is worth mentioning that vivo S18 Pro's screen is also very eye-friendly, and it supports up to 2160Hz high-frequency dimming, which can effectively reduce screen flickering and reduce the risk of eye use. In addition, software functions such as anti-fatigue curve 2.0, sleep mode, and bionic brightness adjustment can create a safer and healthier eye environment for users.
In other aspects, the vivo S18 Pro uses the newly developed ultra-thin blue ocean battery, so in this body thickness of only 7.45mm, a 5000mAh super large battery is stuffed, which is 12% less than other mobile phones with the same capacity battery in the industry. It has truly achieved "reduction and increase".
Write at the end
As the latest masterpiece of the S series, vivo S18 Pro debuts, while taking into account the thinness and lightness, it also maximizes the performance, and thanks to the introduction of the blue ocean battery, the large battery is perfectly combined with the thin and light body. In addition, as a mobile phone focusing on portrait photography, the same main camera at the flagship level, and the upgraded ring flash and light strip have made this mobile phone have good portrait shooting capabilities and meet the user's consumption concept of "I want it all".
