during the game,We also checked the temperature,At room temperature of 28 degrees Celsius,The highest temperature in the area where the Dimensity 8100 chip is located is 41.3 degrees Celsius,Other parts are around 39~40 degrees Celsius,It feels warm when you hold it in your hand。

It can also be seen from here,With the blessing of the independent chip Pro,Makes Dimensity 8100 much less stressful for games,Combined with a gaming-grade bionic cooling system with a total cooling area of ​​44,389 square millimeters,Make the game more stable。

video experience:Rear IMX766V camera quasi-flagship-level ultra-wide-angle can take into account macro

The main camera of vivo S15 Pro is IMX766V,Based on the very mature IMX766 sensor upgrade,Plus Sony's exclusive custom ultra-transparent filter,Compared with the public version of IMX766, it has stronger photosensitive ability。

1/1.56inch outsole,1Micron single pixel size,The f/1.88 aperture specification is naturally good,Previously, it was exclusively used for vivo's own flagship imaging models.。1200Megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens supports 116° ultra-wide-angle,Can also take into account 2.5cm macro,Plus a 2-megapixel black and white camera to form a three-camera solution。

next,Let's take a look at the camera effect of vivo S15 Pro。

Ultra wide angle

have to sigh,Vivo has made rapid progress in recent years,It is also one of the few mobile phone manufacturers that solves the difference in white balance between the main camera and the sub-camera.。Consistent color performance between the two lenses,Allows users to face various scenarios more freely。

on imaging,vivo's shooting algorithm is very experienced,colorful,The picture is transparent,The performance can also be comparable to the high-end video flagship。

- Super macro mode (ultra wide-angle lens):

The ultra-wide-angle lens can also take into account the macro mode,2.5The macro of cm is not a problem for shooting small objects,It also reduces the threshold for users to get started。

Because the ultra-wide-angle lens has 12 million pixels,In macro imaging can retain enough details,with a certain blur effect,more prominent。

- Shooting at night:

in night mode,Whether it is warm light environment or cold light environment,Accurate color reproduction,Light and dark details are preserved,The above proofs are not overly brightened,Various scenes can be restored to the naked eye。

same as the daytime sample,vivo S15 Pro optimizes screen color,While restoring the look and feel of the night,It doesn't make the picture look too "dull"。

And in the portrait mode,vivo S15 Pro comes with a built-in camera with built-in beauty、Filters and more,For girls who don't know how to pose POSE,vivo S15 Pro also provides a "posture" function intimately,After the sister paper can choose the right posture for her,Just align the dashed box inside the scripture frame.。

- Portrait mode:

The portrait mode of vivo S15 Pro also controls the light very well,AI skin texture algorithm is very natural for skin treatment,Plus you can choose the depth of field,while blurring the background,vivo S15 Pro will also use algorithms to simulate calculations,Restore natural depth of field and real flare effects,It can better highlight the theme of the characters and the beauty of the sisters。

The depth of field distance can also be changed after the shot,Recommended when taking portraits,Don't have too many clutter around,Just highlight the character theme,In this way, it can ensure that the film is directly formed in the calculation process in the later stage.。

Anti-shake experience:Hummingbird super anti-shake while walking and shooting without fear of clear and stable picture

Vivo S15 Pro recorded video anti-shake effect

The author also used the vivo S15 Pro with Hummingbird Super Anti-Shake,Integrated active back-to-center OIS optical image stabilization and EIS electronic image stabilization,With these two anti-shake blessings,Hummingbird super anti-shake can complete 500 operations per second,and up to 30,000 movements。

Here we simulate daily running、walking scene,The picture is very stable and smooth。

Left:Turn off anti-shake / in the picture:Standard Image Stabilization / Picture Right:Super anti-shake

Generally speaking,When electronic image stabilization is turned on, the edge of the viewfinder frame will be cropped,Focus only on central content,This is also the reason why many mobile phones will greatly shrink the screen content when anti-shake is turned on.。

To put it more simply,Is the realization of the anti-shake more ruthless,more cropping,The picture quality will naturally be much worse。According to what the author knows,After some mobile phones have anti-shake turned on,The screen crop ratio even reached as much as 40%。

But the hummingbird is super anti-shake,Guaranteed not to crop the screen too much,Make the picture clear and achieve a smooth recording effect。

Charging and battery life:80W full blood only takes half an hour 4500 mAh battery can provide 8 hours and a half battery life
