Based on the previous generation,vivo X100 Image upgraded again。From a hardware perspective,Except Dimensity 9300、Dual-core imaging core composed of self-developed imaging chip V3,Its main camera uses a customized 50-megapixel IMX920 super-sensitive VCS bionic sensor,The ultra-wide angle is the familiar Samsung JN1,The telephoto lens is upgraded to the same outsole periscope lens OV64B as the X90 Pro+,And the aperture at the telephoto end reaches f/2.57,Compare X90 Pro+,The size is even bigger。Overall,This lens combination can be regarded as the ceiling for the standard version of the flagship in 2024.,Parameterists will also like it very much after reading it.。

besides,Vivo X100 also has significant improvements in algorithm,Paired with powerful hardware,Brings full-focus portrait shooting、Cinematic portrait video、telephoto hanging sun、A series of innovative functions and gameplay such as telephoto and macro,In addition to the actual effect improvement,Practicality and convenience are also a major advantage,Users can call these functions by opening the camera menu,in other words,You don’t need to be very professional,Even a novice photographer can easily take great photos。

certainly,How is the specific performance,I still have to let the samples speak for themselves.:

3X、10X and 20X telephoto samples

telephoto,vivo X100 supports 3x optical and up to 100x digital zoom,Very good at taking long-distance photos。For some commonly used focal lengths,For example 70mm、120mm or even higher,All have relatively clear image quality performance。

Vivo X100 also has a unique skill - taking photos of the sun。for mobile photography,It’s quite difficult to take pictures of the sun,Except for strong reflection、glare,It may also cause picture distortion。Combined with an oversized telephoto hole + new OIS anti-shake system + new algorithm + Zeiss optical technology,vivo X100 solves this shooting problem,Users can now use telephoto lenses,Easily take beautiful sunrise or sunset photos。

Telephoto macro is a new feature that I like very much,Now users can not only take long-range shots through long focal lengths,It can also be used to shoot some micro scenes。And compared to ultra-wide-angle macro,Telephoto macro lenses have longer focal lengths,You don’t need to get close to the lens to get the desired effect,Will not disturb the subject being photographed,It is especially suitable for shooting some small animals.。in addition,Telephoto macro lenses can also create a shallow depth of field effect,Make the subject stand out against the background,It is easier for users to take proofs with strong visual impact。

Full focus portrait blessing,Everyone is a photography master

Are you good at taking portraits?,I believe that many users when choosing mobile phones,A dimension often considered。Generally speaking,Take pictures of scenery、Still life nice mobile phone,You may not be able to take good portraits,And if you can take good portraits,Then its image quality will most likely not be bad.。

There will be such a result,Actually there are many reasons,But in my personal opinion,The most important thing is the manufacturer’s understanding and technical accumulation of mobile phone portrait photography.,And these are exactly what the vivo X series is good at.。

It's interesting to say,Before getting X100,The author has been thinking,How else does vivo want to play with portrait photography? After all, the previous X90 series has done very well,It’s hard to imagine how else to upgrade? in fact,The product manager of vivo X100 obviously still has a lot of ideas,For example, this time there is a new member in the Zeiss lens package - B-Speed ​​style blur。

B-Speed ​​comes from English”Door B speed”,It is commonly used in film and television shoots,used to show softness、blurred background effect,And in the horror movie "The Shining",Director Kubrick once used this special photography technique to create a surreal atmosphere。

B-Speed ​​is also suitable for portrait photography,Can bring great background blur effect,While highlighting the subject,Make photos more visually impactful。B-Speed ​​style blur simulates such a photography technique,The difference is that users do not need to know how to shoot,Just click on the Zeiss lens package in the portrait interface,can be quickly called,One-click movie release,Take portraits easily。

In addition to the new Zeiss style package,Vivo X100 also “packages” the most commonly used portrait focal lengths and Zeiss lens packages,Includes 24mm landscape portraits、35mm street portrait、50mm natural portrait、Biotar 50mm Classic Portrait、85mm portrait,100mm close-up portrait,It can be said to be very convenient。

Ado,Let me post some portraits I took.,I would also like to thank the ladies who appeared on the scene,After all, the weather is really cold in early winter。Fortunately,The final film effect is very good,Here are a few pictures so you can get a feel for it。

Irregular moon ring cloud steps,Highly recognizable design, beautiful and comfortable

Before the release of vivo X100,I believe many friends have already seen the warm-up poster.,At the same time I also believe,For the appearance design of vivo X100,You probably think the same thing as me:The designer has too much imagination。

in appearance,The most prominent highlight of vivo X100 is its lens module design,It is said that the design is inspired by the sun, moon and stars.,The surrounding frame is not an absolutely regular circle,But the left is the widest,At the same time, the circular lines extend along both sides to the narrowest point on the right,Finally, an irregular circle is visually formed.,Like a moon ring shape,"Hold" the lens module in the center。

vivo X100

This design is extremely special,In mobile phone design aesthetics,Symmetry is considered an important aesthetic principle。This symmetry can give users a sense of balance、Harmonious machine experience,But vivo X100 is obviously not included in this list。Fortunately,Friends, you can rest assured,Vivo has not given up on beauty for the sake of difference。vivo X100 makes me feel pretty good,The real machine has both appearance and recognition,From this point of view,This unique design of "Moon Ring Cloud Steps" is successful and impressive。

In addition to the unique design,The X100’s lens module also has meticulous attention to detail.,The "sun pattern" on the outer circle of the moon ring is very similar to the craftsmanship of high-end watches,The lenses are also cut in one piece,Comes with stainless steel moon ring,At least in terms of texture,It really has a high-end flagship light luxury and simple style。

Color matching,vivo X100 brings white moonlight、sunset orange、star trail blue、Chenye black four colors,The one I have is white,Glossy glass material feels very soft to the touch,But because it's white,So it’s not easy to show fingerprints。

If you like matte back shell,You can choose the Chenye black version,It adopts fluorite AG process,The texture and feel are excellent。Star Trail Blue has complex craftsmanship,It’s also the one with the most distinctive appearance.,It’s worth a look for those who like personalized color matching.。Finally, sunset orange,Made of plain leather material,Waterproof and wear-resistant, not afraid of scratches,Don’t miss it if you’re a vegetarian。

Turn over and look at the front,The vivo X100 is equipped with a hyperboloid screen with a resolution of 2800×1260 and a refresh rate of 120Hz.,The top, bottom, left and right borders are extremely narrow,Broad vision,Single hole in the middle,So the screen-to-body ratio is also relatively high。

The peak brightness of this screen is as high as 3000nit,It also supports vivo’s exclusive SDR image quality enhancement engine and XDR video engine 2.0,Outdoors in the sun、High-saturation details and colors can still be displayed under strong indoor light and low screen brightness.。

In addition to high-standard screen quality,vivo X100 also implements chip-level "zero latency" frame cutting on the screen,video on one screen、Barrage、The comment section has its own frame rate,Effectively reduce screen power consumption,At the same time, it can ensure the smoothness of the video experience.。

in addition,This screen is also very good in terms of eye protection.,Vivo performs special display eye protection optimization for low-light usage scenarios,Improve users’ brightness, comfort and visibility when using in dark light。Simultaneously,Also uses bionic brightness adjustment,Reduces eye discomfort caused by screen dimming when the lights are suddenly turned off,Can better protect eye health。

Facing increasingly fierce market competition,Mobile phone manufacturers need to continuously innovate and optimize products and services,To win more consumer recognition and trust。For the standard flagship version,Want to stand out from the market competition,We must make better products within a reasonable price range。But vivo X100 is a “pioneer” after all,It is vivo’s first battle in the mobile phone market in 2024,And "first mover" also means facing a steady stream of late-stage attacks from competitors.,The challenges and pressures can be imagined。

But I personally still have confidence in the X100,Considering the selling price and product strength,,It is not an exaggeration to say that the X100 is a "perfect flagship"。It has the best telephoto experience in its class,Portrait photography is also top-notch,The shooting method is also very novel and practical。

despite this, vivo X100 also has ceiling-level performance and gaming experience,And strong battery life and charging。certainly,Don't forget to use it as standard version,It also has a self-developed image chip V2、IP68、Blue Heart Little V、Stereo double Yang、X-axis motor and a series of flagship configurations,Even though the "latecomers" are very fierce,But want to surpass X100,It won't be a simple thing。
