What are the first curved corners made in China, other than forcing? — vivo Xplay5 experience evaluation

|Foreword |

The differentiation of design and interactive experience is the breakthrough point for mobile brand to high-end breakthrough. At the beginning of 2016, vivo released the latest flagship model, Xplay 5. It was the first to adopt a double-curvature screen design in the country and was guided by the “fast-on-border” experience and received extensive attention. This series of reviews will use the half-month experience as a basis to communicate all aspects of the Xplay 5 design and experience. I hope to help you buy.


| China's first curved screen |

The biggest highlight of Xplay 5's appearance is the first appearance of the double curved screen design of this domestic mobile phone. With the curved screen design, the edges of the display are bent downwards. The benefits are threefold:
The first is that the display effect is better, text and pictures have a feeling of floating out of the screen, and are closer to the fingers;
The second is that the touch feels better, and the operation of sliding from the edge is more comfortable;
The third is that the border design is narrower to facilitate the inclusion of larger screens in the same size body.

The curved screen design of Xplay 5 is mainly the narrowing of the metal frame on the side, and the curved extension of the screen towards the frame, more like the design of the Samsung S6 edge plus, and there is still a difference in the overall roundness of the Samsung S7 edge. In addition, the black side of the screen is slightly wider than Samsung.

The exterior of the Xplay 5's curved screen is a bright edge with a high-gloss chamfer on the one-piece metal backshell, which is very textured. There is also a layer of plastic buffer between the metal frame and the screen, which can reduce the fragmentation rate to a certain extent when dropped.

In order to cooperate with the front curved screen, the integrated metal back shell on the back, in fact, there is also a slight curvature at the edge, more fitting to the palm.

From a functional point of view, only the touch edge under the lock screen is currently glare, and the side streamer reminds when placed upside down on the desktop. Looking forward funtouch OS can bring more features in the subsequent upgrade.

In terms of preventing accidental contact, when the palm is pressed against the surface in a large area, it can still operate normally. Explain that vivo's anti-missing algorithm is still quite useful. However, when one-handed typing, there is still a certain probability of misoperation.


| Appearance and Progress |

In addition to the hyperbolic screen design, Xplay 5 is very similar in design language to the X6/X6 Plus generation. The front is a 5.43 inch 2K resolution superamoled screen, colorful, contrast and saturation performance.

On the top of the front panel is a front camera, handset, light/proximity sensor, and a hidden LED indicator. At the bottom is the vivo iconic three-button.

The back of the Xplay 5 continues the X6/X6 Plus's high proportion of metal body, the overall workmanship is very delicate. The camera on the back of the back and the dual color temperature flash position are similar to the iphone. Above the logo is a fingerprint recognition sensor. The bottom is product information.

The top of the Xplay 5 is a 3.5mm headphone jack and noise reduction speaker. The bottom is usb interface, speaker and microphone. The white plastic protection ring of the socket is easily grayed.

The side borders of Xplay 5 need to be narrowed due to the curved screen, so the volume and power buttons are relatively thin. The feedback is moderate, but slightly loose. Xplay 5's sim card slot is a dual nano card configuration and does not support TF card expansion. However, with the 128G built-in storage of the entire system, I cannot see any need for a card.


| Fingerprint |

The Xplay 5 uses a post-fingerprint recognition sensor that the X6 generation began using. Compared with the pre-fingerprint identification scheme, the "press-detect-identify" process is more simplified, and the fastest unlocking of 0.4 seconds can be achieved.

In actual use, a fingerprint is recorded about 12 times. Multiple angles of entry ensure higher recognition rates.

Measured to unlock, it is indeed very fast. Sometimes it's just a finger on the sensor to unlock the bright screen.

However, from a functional point of view, the fingerprint identification of Xplay 5 is still relatively single, except for unlocking, it is to enter the private space, and PayPal fingerprint payment. It is hoped that in the subsequent system upgrade, it will bring more abundant functions, such as defining the function of each finger, quickly entering the camera, WeChat and so on.


|Camera |

The Xplay 5's main camera incorporates the Sony IMX298 16-megapixel sensor, which also appears on the Huawei Mate 8 and Millet 5 machines. The sensor size is 1/2.8 inch, 6P lens, F2.0 aperture and PDAF phase focus. Thanks to the 4G/6G Universe, the camera module is resident and the camera application can be said to be open in seconds.

In the camera mode, Funplay OS of Xplay 5 offers a very rich choice. In addition to the common photos, videos, beauty, panoramic, HDR, there are many features such as night mode, sports mode, professional manual, fast and slow lens, document correction and ultra-clear picture quality. The camera also offers a variety of filter modes.

The camera interface is more iOS-style, but the diversity of special modes exceeds iOS. For example, document correction is a very meaningful model introduced in combination with the daily shooting and recording of document content. The measured effect is very good.

Below some proofs.

In addition, the 8 megapixel front camera performs well in both the viewing range and the picture quality. There are also very interesting 32 million ultra-clear self-timer, but may only be used by the sisters to get it ~

Summarizing the experience of the camera, I think that the Xplay 5's camera started quickly, with excellent image quality and a high success rate. After the combination of hardware and software, there are many interesting patterns and gameplay. With such a good camera, I am more willing to take pictures with my mobile phone.


| Flash Charger |

The Xplay 5 is equipped with vivo's twin engine flash charger and supports up to 9V 2A input power of 18W. Measured charger compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge standard.

From the charging speed point of view, you can charge 15% of electricity in 10 minutes. Charge 80% in 1 hour. Fully time-consuming 1 hour and 48 minutes. This is an excellent result for the large 3600mah battery. Horizontal contrast, although slightly slower than the X6 speed of a small battery, but much faster than the glory of 5X without fast charging. Fast charging is indeed a technology that can't be used once it is used.

The benefit of Flash Charge is the cure for low-power phobias. In the two weeks of use, I am no longer as in the past, when the electricity is below 30%, I start to worry and I am worried about no electricity. Because I know that as long as I find the plug to rush for a quarter of an hour, I can regain more than 50% of my electricity. However, another issue worth noting is flash heating/heating during use.


Using the thermal imager to monitor the flash charging process, it can be found that the highest resting temperature is within 40 degrees, belonging to the warm range.

Running for 20 minutes in a row, the maximum temperature is 42.4 degrees, indicating that the fever and temperature control of the Xiaolong 652 are of medium level, not too cool. If flashing is used, the temperature will be as high as 45 degrees.

In terms of battery life, the 3600mah large-capacity battery can guarantee 5-6 hours of bright screen use, and heavy use can last for one day. Plus flash charge can use the fragmentation time to add power at any time, Xplay 5 outstanding performance in life.


| System Experience |

Xplay 5 puts forward the concept of a smart engine at the system level, that is, the backend of the mobile phone will intelligently schedule system resources according to the user's habits. However, in actual use, what can be perceived by the user is a "quiet borderless" smooth experience.


Since the evolution of Funtouch OS, there have also been significant advances in UI aesthetics and functional diversity. The lock screen is simple and has a holiday wallpaper.

The main interface is a single-layer design and the icon style is close to iOS. Pull-down notifications, the allocation of the pull-up console is also similar to the iOS experience.

One of the features of Funtouch OS is the more comprehensive settings for gestures and somatosensory operations. It also supports split-screen multitasking. When watching videos, it can be used for split-screen processing of WeChat, SMS, and other contact work.

The long screen capture function is very practical. After the console calls out, you can take a full screenshot of the sliding page. There are also various functions such as screen recording, fun screen shots and so on.

Funtouch OS also has some minor details that hit the user's pain point and is worth mentioning. Many people now have jobs for WeChat/QQ and Private WeChat/QQ. The application of Xplay 5 is to solve the problem of opening two WeChat/QQ accounts on a mobile phone. The actual test is very easy to use. WeChat will also prompt you to choose which WeChat to use for payment. Another fun feature is the snooze helper, which sends an SMS alert to the designated contact when the alarm is delayed five times. These functions let us see the funtouch OS thinking on the interaction.


| Summary |


Through two weeks of use, the actual experience of Xplay 5 made me feel that "fast borderlessness" is not an empty talk, but the first optimization goal that is fully guaranteed by the combination of hardware and software. From the speed of unlocking fingerprints, swiping the screen, starting the camera, linking the network, recharging power, and many convenient little details in the system, this concept is being implemented. This experience, derived from excellent hardware design, and beyond the stacking of hardware configuration, is commendable.


However, considering the price of more than 3,000 yuan, the value is not worth, it depends on what you want and positioning of the phone. Xplay 5 is fully generosity of the 128G standard, and can also be translated into flagship positioning. Do not bargain. I firmly believe that the competition of smart phones in the future will surely change from price disputes to full-scale competition where experience is oriented and differentiation becomes a bright spot. Xplay 5 is the biggest step vivo has taken on this road. Aside from the SoC of the standard version Xiaolong 652, this phone has the experience of face value, workmanship, texture, fingerprint, camera, flash charge, wireless signal, and system interaction, which is in line with the current flagship model level. Users of popular chat, news, music videos choose Xiaolong 652's standard version of Xplay 5 to meet their daily needs. Friends who like large games are more suitable to consider Xiaolong 820's high version.


Thanks for your attention!
