Vivo X Note Use Experience Comprehensive Evaluation

On the 11th of this month, vivo officially launched its first large screen business flagship, vivo X Note. As you can see, the most eye-catching selling point of vivo X Note is that it is equipped with a 7-inch screen, which is really rare in the current mobile phone circle. With this large screen, vivo X Note has become an alternative presence in the flagship circle of Snapdragon 8.

But I have to say that the new flagship of vivo really makes people see some differences. After being used to seeing all kinds of Android flagship, the "flagship"+"large screen" differentiated combination of vivo X Note is more impressive.

7-inch 2K+widescreen, leading large screen experience

As a flagship of large screen, the screen of vivo X Note is really large enough. Unlike most mobile phones' 6.5 inch screens, vivo X Note is equipped with a 7-inch Samsung E5 screen. This size is relatively rare in the industry. Apart from some folding screens, the mobile phone circle is hard to see.

Different from ordinary mobile phones, the screen ratio of vivo X Note has also been adjusted from the common 18:9 to 21:10, with a wider field of vision and easier operation. If you often use your mobile phone to edit documents, take meeting notes, and create online forms, such a wide screen can really meet your office needs. In addition to work, it is also very suitable to chase dramas, play games and watch movies on a large screen, which can easily create a sense of "immersive" visual immersion. It can be said that the wide screen experience of vivo X Note is excellent whether it is for daily office work or video entertainment.

Vivo X Note not only has a larger screen, but also has a good display quality. It has achieved 16 display Mate performance records and obtained the overall A+level certification. Specifically, the resolution of this screen has reached 3080 × 1440, reaching the "2K+" level, which is one of the highest resolution screens in the industry. Compared with some 1080P screens, the vivo X Note has more delicate images, more soft and natural colors, and more realistic appearance.

Compared with the 1080P screen, vivo X Note displays more finely

In addition, this screen also supports native 1 billion+colors and full scene HDR color display. At the same time, on the basis of excellent hardware, vivo has also accurately adjusted the screen to make it more accurate and closer to the naked eye.

In terms of screen refresh rate, vivo X Note's screen supports LTPO adaptive refresh, and can switch the screen refresh rate freely between 1-120Hz according to different use scenarios, so as to reasonably improve power consumption. For example, in the desktop state, the sliding screen can reach 120Hz at most, and the experience is very smooth. When it is still, it will stay at 1Hz, and the power consumption will also decrease.

In addition, the screen changing cost of large screen mobile phones is relatively high. In order to better protect this screen, vivo X Note also uses Corning Gorilla GG7 glass cover. Corning Gorilla GG7 glass cover plate is the toughest gorilla glass so far, with good drop resistance and scratch resistance, which can better meet consumers' demand for improving the durability of mobile phones.

Family style design inheritance, both texture and thinness

Vivo X Note is equipped with a 7-inch screen, and it also retains the screen ratio of 21:10. The special size and ratio will inevitably make people pay attention to the hand experience of vivo X Note. In fact, the vivo X Note is not different from ordinary mobile phones in the actual use process, and it is OK to hold it with one hand.

It is not easy to maintain a comfortable feel under the blessing of the "giant screen". From the perspective of the fuselage design, vivo X Note has three colors: bright dark, earth grey, and clear mountain blue. Among them, earth grey and clear mountain blue use plain leather back shells, so there are some differences between the three versions of Vivo X Note and bright dark.

What the author has got is the Qingshan Blue color matching version. The size is 168.78mm × 80.31mm × 8.75mm, and the weight of the whole machine is 216g. Due to the double curvature body design, the whole machine looks thin.

In terms of appearance design, in addition to a super sized micro curved hole digging screen on the front, the vivo X Note camera module still follows the family style design language of "square and round sky steps". The whole lens module is stacked up and down in a ladder shape, demonstrating a sense of order and beauty. The ring composed of four lenses occupies the left area of the square trim. The circular module and the square trim are connected by a slightly curved glass surface. The integrated design reduces the sense of visual fragmentation and also plays a good role in dust prevention.

Compared with the glass body, the plain leather version is more elegant, and the touch is also very delicate. It is worth mentioning that the plain leather version also adds three vertical embossed textures on both sides of the back shell, just like the fine stitches on the high leather bag, adding a bit of advanced texture to the body.

In other aspects, vivo X Note uses a metal middle frame and has been sanded. The fingers feel very smooth, and it is not easy to leave fingerprints. The left middle box is arranged with volume keys and on/off keys, while the right side is added with a physical mute key, which can set the mute state of the phone at any time according to different occasions.

In terms of appearance design, vivo X Note tries to keep some familial designs, which improves the recognition of mobile phones to a certain extent. At the same time, vivo X Note also gives consideration to the lightweight feel and the texture of high-end flagship, which well meets the business needs of specific people.

Minimal browser

Take the system browser as an example, its biggest characteristics are simplicity and purity and security and privacy protection. Unlike common browsers, its page layout is very simple, without jumbled information and advertisements, and looks fresh and clean.

Camera detection

The camera detection function is to scan the local WiFi network to get whether there is a camera device added to the local network. This function is rare in smartphones, and it is convenient for travelers who often stay in hotels.

In addition to the above applications, vivo X Note also supports services such as cloud remote SIM card locking and intelligent privacy protection. If the mobile phone is lost accidentally, you can log in the mobile phone account to remotely lock the SIM to avoid property loss due to theft of the mobile phone card. At the same time, the system will also screen the ID number, bank card number and other information on the clipboard, and prohibit third-party applications from reading these private information.

In the Internet era, information security is extremely important. How can we protect our own private information security, Vivo X Note provides a comprehensive and three-dimensional solution. It not only realizes the coverage of the application layer, but also builds hard core "blockers" from the bottom of the software, which can provide consumers with comprehensive and thoughtful security protection and bring a more reliable experience of using mobile phones.

② One stop office solution

After talking about security, let's take a look at how vivo X Note helps users create an immersive office experience. In addition to the large screen mentioned above, which has a wide view and high interactive flexibility, vivo X Note also includes many practical office tools.

For example, Amber Scan, a free, ad free professional scanning software independently developed by Vivo, can not only scan documents and extract text, but also scan ID cards and account books, and retain the certificate format for users to save the electronic version or later print.

Table Identification

In addition, through amber scanning, users can also convert text forms and PPTs into editable online forms and PPTs after shooting. Even users can freely adjust the recognition area, with higher recognition accuracy, and also support secondary editing. There is no doubt that Amber Scan is a rare excellent OCR software, which is also helpful to improve office efficiency.

Demonstration of atomic note effect package

At the same time, vivo X Note has also upgraded the atomic notes and added the content of the effect package, making it easier for users to layout, beautify and annotate the notes.

Of course, users can also convert the edited content into pictures, Word and plain text format again. One click export is supported, so that you can share your ideas and inspiration with customers or colleagues anytime and anywhere.

Lighter fingertip interaction

In to-do, the interface is also clearer and the information browsing is more intuitive. In addition, vivo has also upgraded the interaction. After adding the to-do list, the finger slides to the left on the entry to change the background color of the entry and set the time. When a task is completed, we can also directly slide it to the right to delete it, which not only conforms to the interaction logic, but also makes the operation lighter.

The pictures of the equipment are transmitted to each other after the collision

In addition, as the vivo ecosystem becomes more complete and systematic, the cross platform sharing ability has also been strengthened. Files, texts, pictures and other contents on mobile phones can also be synchronized to laptops, tablets and other devices at any time through "touch and touch", facilitating users to access and edit on different devices. The convenient cross device transmission experience makes office work more efficient, which is undoubtedly a great help for workers.

Excellent performance and charging experience

As the latest flagship mobile phone, vivo X Note is also the most advanced in hardware configuration. In addition to Snapdragon 8, the strongest flagship chip of Qualcomm, the vivo X Note series is equipped with an overclocking version of UFS 3.1 flash memory and an enhanced version of LPDDR5. Thanks to the three top configurations, users can enjoy a flagship experience in various scenarios.

From the run point test, in the latest version of Anthare, vivo X Note successfully broke a million run points and achieved an outstanding score of 1021519 points, including more than 440000 GPU run points. In the 3D Mark Wild Life benchmark, vivo X Note also scored 10039 points, with very excellent performance.

Thanks to V1 support, frame insertion can be enabled in the game

In addition, vivo X Note has also added a professional video chip V1 on the basis of hardware such as Snapdragon 8. This is a chip developed by vivo for visual effects. It can not only play a role in shooting, but also achieve visual enhancement for games, displays and other scenes. It can work with the main chip to reduce GPU load, significantly reduce power consumption, and also provide game framing experience.

Specifically, in the game experience, the author selected Glory of the King, Peace Elite and God to test the vivo X Note.

First of all, in Glory of the King, under the highest frame rate mode, the overall performance of vivo X Note is relatively stable, and there is no obvious stuttering in both field fighting and group warfare. The average frame rate throughout the game can be maintained at around 117.1 frames.

Compared with Glory of the King, Peace Elite has higher picture quality and higher requirements for mobile phone performance. In the 90 frame game mode, the average frame rate throughout the game reached 81.3fps. During the game, there was a frequency reduction. The frame rate in the second half of the game dropped to about 80 frames. The performance scheduling was conservative, but the game was stable. The whole process was smooth, and there was no obvious jam.

In terms of heat dissipation, vivo X Note adopts a three-dimensional heat dissipation system composed of vacuum cavity soaking plate, PGS graphite heat conduction sheet, heat conduction gel, heat conduction silica gel and other materials with high heat dissipation efficiency. It conducts heat dissipation treatment for each key heating position and the whole machine, which not only effectively reduces heat generation, but also improves the mobile phone's endurance.

From the actual experience, the maximum temperature of the fuselage after 15 minutes of "Yuanshen" is only 41.7 ℃, and this temperature control is very good.

Of course, the power consumption of the frame inserting function will be further reduced when it is enabled. At this time, the maximum temperature of the fuselage is as low as 40.0 ℃.

Top performance needs sufficient power support, especially for users who often travel or work in the field, poor endurance or poor fast charging is really a headache. For this reason, vivo X Note puts a 5000mAh super large battery in the thin and light body, and is also equipped with 80W dual cell flash charge, 50W wireless flash charge and 10W wireless reverse charge. With the support of high specification configuration, vivo X Note's endurance is also better guaranteed.

(* 5-hour endurance test conditions: under the current 25 ℃ room temperature environment, the phone volume and screen brightness are set to 50% respectively, Bluetooth is turned off, positioning is performed, and office WiFi is connected)

Under the 5-hour endurance test, the vivo X Note finally has 39% of the remaining power. It is not a problem to use it normally for one day when it is fully charged, and it can meet the endurance requirements of most users. At the same time, the charging speed has also been improved rapidly. The mobile phone can be charged from 0 to 95% in 30 minutes, and it takes less than 35 minutes to fully charge the 5000mAh battery, effectively relieving users' anxiety about battery life.

In order to give better play to the performance of this set of hardware, vivo X Note also carries a self-developed triple full time domain performance engine for the first time from the software level. This technology can constantly clean up and optimize the system, significantly reducing the probability of a jam, so that the long-term use of the mobile phone system is still smooth. In addition, the engine can help vivo X Note optimize the network, improve signal performance, and reduce power consumption in daily use.

On the whole, vivo X Note has well satisfied most consumers' pursuit of extreme performance and smooth games, and has not forgotten those white-collar workers and business people who pursue large screens and care about lasting endurance experience. In short, vivo X Note performs well in daily use and is a hard core flagship with strong performance and excellent endurance.

High standard rear four camera, plus high-end image experience of ZEISS

As a comprehensive flagship, vivo X Note is also very eye-catching in terms of video. In terms of camera configuration, vivo X Note is equipped with a full focus four camera system. The main camera is a flagship Samsung GN1 sensor with 50 million pixels. The sensor size is 1/1.3 inch. In the four in one mode, the single pixel size is 2.4 μ m. It supports OIS and large aperture, and has excellent imaging performance in dark light.

In addition to the high-quality main camera, the other three lenses are also excellent. They are a 48MP 114 ° ultra wide angle main camera, a periscope camera equipped with 5x optical zoom, and a digital zoom of up to 60x, as well as a 12 million pixel professional portrait lens, which basically cover most of the photographic scenes encountered by users in their daily lives.

The following is a live shot sample of vivo X Note. You can feel it:

In the environment with good daylight, the quality of the main picture is good. Both the details of the building and the texture of the trees are portrayed very carefully, and the appearance is more sharp, without too many traces of algorithm modification.

In addition, in terms of color presentation, vivo X Note also supports ZEISS natural color. When ZEISS natural color is turned on, the color saturation is lower, the picture looks more real, and there is a kind of film flavor. I still like this style very much.

Similar to the main camera, super wide angle performance is also good. The ultra wide angle of Sony IMX598 sensor used in vivo X Note this time is still a large bottom ultra wide angle at the main camera level, so the image quality performance is very excellent.

In the scene with high daytime illumination, vivo X Note's ultra wide angle camera can bring solid picture quality and rich picture details, and the color and appearance are very good. At the same time, the control of edge distortion is also excellent, and the usability is very high.

In terms of telephoto, with the trend of cutting telephoto among the mainstream flagship this year, vivo X Note still retains the periscope telephoto lens, which is really a great surprise for many young friends who like photography. Vivo X Note uses a telephoto lens to support 5x light zoom and 60x mixed zoom. From the actual experience, the telephoto end has the highest definition of the sample under 5x zoom. The sample doesn't have a heavy sense of smearing, and it also retains good details, which is very suitable for shooting distant landscapes.

It is worth mentioning that vivo X Note is also equipped with ZEISS optical lens and ZEISS T * coating. The former can effectively solve the dispersion problem and maximize the performance of high-resolution sensors; The latter can effectively reduce the reflectivity of the lens, and can reduce the "ghost" or "glare" problem under complex light sources. Therefore, the performance of vivo X Note in night scenes should be better.

In addition, vivo has been mature enough for the adjustment of the Samsung GN1 photosensitive components. The main camera was originally good at shooting night scenes. The picture quality is very brilliant in dark light, the picture is clean and transparent, and there are few noise points, ensuring good purity and picture details. At the same time, thanks to the support of the V1 image chip, under the low light source environment, vivo X Note also realizes the brightening of the preview state. Before taking a picture, you can see the brightness effect as if it were a piece of film, and what you take is what you get.

In the process of single hand shooting, thanks to the support of the big bottom sensor and OIS anti shake, not only can the amount of light input be greatly improved, but also the stability can be maintained when the shutter is pressed, and you can easily get a high-quality proof with bright pictures and bright colors.

Whether it's a high specification rear four camera module, a V1 chip, or the addition of ZEISS natural colors, lenses and coatings, it means that vivo X Note is not a simple video phone. If you care more about taking photos, vivo X Note will certainly not disappoint you.

Finally, I have something to say:

The above is all the evaluation content of vivo X Note. From all aspects, vivo X Note is really an excellent flagship with outstanding comprehensive strength. Looking at the Snapdragon 8 mobile phone that has been released this year, the vivo X Note is a very special product. It has excellent performance, excellent image and excellent endurance. However, it also takes a new way to carry a 7-inch large screen. Although the large screen is not all of the vivo X Note, the large screen is indeed the most eye-catching place of vivo X Note.

Perhaps vivo X Note is more suitable for business users with specific needs, but when we are used to seeing various "no short boards" flagship, we always expect some "differentiated" content. Without doubt, vivo X Note has found this differentiation, so its appeal to ordinary consumers is also huge. In short, I am very optimistic about the prospect of this large screen flagship. After all, there are so many flagship in the market, who doesn't want a different one?
