Released in November last year, the vivo X100 series has received praise from many users since its launch due to the strong performance and excellent imaging performance of the Dimensity 9300. There are many calls for "straight screen" in many reviews, and vivo seems to have seen this suggestion, so this vivo X100s is launched today, half a year later. This "S" upgrade is not only a straight screen, but the performance can also make your eyes shine, and the specific performance will be explored with the article.

The straight screen can also be thin and light

I believe that a large part of the reason why many friends are waiting for vivo X100s is because of the straight screen, after all, the straight screen is less likely to be touched by mistake than the curved screen, and it is easier to apply the film. Compared with the iQOO 12, which also has a straight screen design, although the weight is around 203g, the thickness of the vivo X100s is 7.8mm, coupled with the simple body design, it will appear thinner and lighter visually.

vivo X100s continues the classic large round lens module, and the classic day ring decorative ring is transferred from the right side of the X100 to the bottom, and friends with obsessive-compulsive disorder finally don't have to worry about it; The addition of the wire drawing process also makes the decorative circle more difficult to stain fingerprints, giving a good reputation. The flash in the upper right corner, the three-line love poem under the DECO, and the vivo LOGO under the fuselage have all been retained, continuing the minimalist style.

The vivo X100s retains the two colorways of "White Moonlight" and "Space Gray" ("Midnight Black" in the X100), and the other two are "Titanium" and "Qingyun". Personally, I think the "Interstellar Blue" color scheme on the X100 is also very good, but it's a pity that it hasn't been carried over.

Although the "titanium" vivo X100s in our hands is not as fresh and natural as the main color "Qingyun", it can restore the pure color of titanium well, and it can also look low-key and elegant while being simple. The metal frame and the edge of the back panel are just the right curvature, and the feel is still very good.

The front of the vivo X100s is equipped with an ultra-clear primary color eye protection screen with a resolution of 2800x1260. It uses 8T LTPO backplane technology and supports 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The local peak brightness of this screen can reach 3000nit, and watching HDR videos will have a more shocking viewing effect.

vivo X100s This screen is exclusively customized by the Dimensity chip, in addition to supporting 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming in daily scenes, turning on the smart eye protection mode can filter harmful blue light while ensuring the true restoration of the color of the picture, and there will be no overall warmth like ordinary eye protection mode. With the new 360° light sensor, the adaptive color temperature adjustment is turned on to present a more environmentally friendly color temperature and a more comfortable look.

To briefly summarize the appearance of the vivo X100s: while adopting a straight screen design, the body is thinner and lighter; The back continues the simple design of the X100, making this "titanium" look low-key and calm; This ultra-clear eye protection screen on the front brings a more shocking visual effect, and overall the texture of vivo X100s is very good.

The chip evolves again, and the performance jumps again

vivo X100s is equipped with the new Dimensity 9300+ flagship core, which adopts TSMC's 4nm process technology, and is also a full-core architecture of four Cortex-X4 super cores + four A720 large cores. The maximum clock speed of the X4 ultra-large core has been increased to 3.4GHz, and the peak performance has been increased by 40%, while the power consumption can be reduced by 33%. In fact, Antutu can easily run up to 220W+ points.

We directly use game data to show the power of the Dimensity 9300+. In an environment with a room temperature of 25 degrees, the image quality of Genshin Impact was adjusted to a very high frame rate, with a frame rate of 60 frames, and an average frame rate of 58.7 frames per half an hour of Sumeru City running maps. On top of that, the vivo X100s has an average power consumption of only 4.8W after half an hour of Genshin Impact testing, and the maximum temperature on the front of the fuselage is only 39.3 degrees after the test, which is beyond my imagination.

Let's take a look at "Honkai Star Railway", which has a higher GPU load, Looking back at the previous generation X100 equipped with Dimensity 9300, the average frame rate of the half-hour golden hour running map was 47.7 frames, and after 5 minutes, it could no longer stabilize 60 frames, and the power consumption also reached 6.9W. But this time the vivo X100s can run an average frame rate of 53.7 fps with the same image quality, and the power consumption is 6.5W. With this comparison, you can see how good the Dimensity 9300+ is.

It can be seen that although the CPU performance of the Dimensity 9300+ has not improved much, the GPU has improved quite a lot, and the performance is more powerful while the power consumption is reduced. Judging from this performance, the Dimensity 9300+ carried by vivo X100s is indeed the strongest chip in the Android camp at present.

Experience upgrades go beyond performance

As vivo's flagship series, the X100s has been enhanced in all aspects. First of all, the vivo X100s innovatively adds the self-developed "Blueprint Imaging", which brings better imaging capabilities through 100% self-developed core algorithms, combined with Blueprint sensor technology and Blueprint Image Chip V2.

The vivo X100s follows the same set of imaging hardware as the X100, which is the IMX920 main camera, JN1 ultra-wide-angle lens, and OV64B periscope telephoto lens. Judging from the samples, although the hardware configuration is the same, the addition of the self-developed "Blueprint Image" makes the vivo X100s shoot with higher color saturation than the X100.

Portraits have always been vivo's strong suit, and this time the X100s are no exception. Equipped with a 32-megapixel lens on the front, the selfie performance is still very good, and the skin tone looks fair and shiny with the blessing of beauty.

This time, vivo X100s also added a new feature: "Humanistic Street Photography Camera", which can be opened quickly by swiping up on the camera interface. The "Humanistic Street Photography Camera" has a new UI interface, which can quickly set the shutter speed, white balance, bokeh level, etc., and the Basic button in the upper right corner can also save parameters for one-click application in the future.

In addition to the texture, vividness and naturalness in the color mode selection of the humanistic street photography camera, black and white colors are also added, with richer gray scales and higher tolerance, bringing a more story-like expression.

It can be said that the humanistic street photography camera mode is a combination of normal shooting mode and portrait mode, which can not only adjust the color style, but also turn on the bokeh effect of portrait mode, and even Zeiss bokeh flare can be selected in the settings. I have to say that the playability of this mode is still very high, helping you shoot your favorite style.

When we explore the gameplay of the humanistic street photography camera, the mobile phone prompts a low battery warning, it seems that friends who often shoot still need to pay attention to the battery life problem, after all, the power consumption of the camera will be greater than that of the game. The vivo X100s is equipped with an equivalent 5100mAh battery, which consumes 4% of power for half-hour 1080P video playback, 4% for half-hour Weibo browsing, and 13% for half-hour Genshin Impact. Although the battery capacity is 100mAh more than that of the X100, the battery life does not seem to have improved significantly.

The vivo X100s supports 100W dual-core flash charging, but the box is equipped with a 120W charging head, perhaps because of the addition of new battery technology? The measured charge is 55% in 10 minutes, and the final charge to 100% takes 28 minutes and 30 seconds, which can indeed greatly alleviate battery life anxiety.

summary

The vivo X100s has a 7.8mm thin and light body, continuing the simple design language, with both look and feel. In terms of performance, it is equipped with the new Dimensity 9300+ chip, more powerful CPU performance and greatly improved GPU graphics processing performance, which can easily conquer large-scale games such as "Genshin Impact". The new "Humanistic Street Photography Camera" greatly enhances the playability of shooting.

Overall, although the vivo X100s is not much improved compared to the X100, whether it is the Dimensity 9300+ or the "humanistic street photography camera", every upgrade point is clearly perceived; Not only does the addition of a straight screen not make the vivo X100s thicker, but the thickness of 7.8mm can also give you a more comfortable feel. For those who are still waiting for the straight-screen flagship, vivo X100s believe it can give you more surprises.
