After watching the new product launch conference of Blue Factory, I think the era of folding screen is over.

Original Tony bad review

Not long after April, Tony ushered in a heavyweight conference, and this conference was made by the blue factory.

Vivo brought a total of three products at today’s conference, namely folding screen flagship X Fold, big screen flagship X Note and tablet vivo Pad.

Whether it’s crazy stacking, folding screen with high cost performance, X Note’s large-area fingerprint recognition, or vivo Pad dedicated to improving the experience, the three products of Blue Factory’s conference can make people shine.

X Fold, in particular, can be said to have knocked down the price of the folding screen after stacking the materials on the ceiling, which is really a big surprise.

There is a lot of content, not much to say, and directly get to the point.

>/ X Fold

First of all, vivo’s first folding screen flagship X Fold, the Blue Factory itself said it was a bit late, but this time it will not live up to everyone’s waiting.

Let’s talk about the screen that attracts the most attention. X Fold uses an 8-inch 4: 3.55 folding inner screen and a 6.5-inch 21: 9 outer screen. All the values are top-notch, so I won’t go into details here.

The key point is that X Fold’s internal and external dual-screen refresh rates are both 120Hz, and both support screen fingerprint recognition, which is the first time in the entire folding screen mobile phone industry.

Vivo said that it is very difficult to realize screen fingerprint on folding screen mobile phone. The folding screen needs to be supported by metal backboard, which will greatly hinder the light input of the screen.

After a thorough study, experts from vivo Academia Sinica came up with a way, that is, to make the frequency of ultrasonic resonate with the metal backplane, so as to feed back the fingerprint information through the screen, thus solving the problem that the folding screen can not identify fingerprints. . .

Whether you understand it or not, Tony doesn’t understand it anyway. . .

But in any case, it is certain that the folding screen supports screen fingerprint recognition.

At the same time, this folding screen won 19 A+ certifications of DisplayMate, and the folding screen began to roll up. . .

In the hinge part, a flagship folding screen mobile phone should be available, and X Fold is also available, such as aviation-grade floating wing hinge and water-drop design. vivo also designed a zirconium alloy floating middle plate structure, which can reduce the screen depression generated during the folding process.

Moreover, it is said that the state of X Fold folded for 100,000 times is the same as that without folding, and the more creases are used, the more obvious the situation will not appear.

The UTG flexible glass, which appeared on the previous folding screen, has also been upgraded to UTG super-tough glass on the X Fold, and there is a superconducting antireflection coating on the screen, which can effectively prevent reflection.

On the screen, you don’t need to worry too much, both the screen quality and the durability of the hinge are guaranteed, not to mention the blessing of dual-screen fingerprints, and it will be over when it is full.

Various usage scenarios such as folding screen, such as viewing files and hovering and folding, are basic operations, so Tony won’t go into details.

The scene mentioned at the press conference, which Tony would like to call the highlight moment in the history of folding screen, is that the health code and travel card can be displayed at the same time. . .

In terms of performance, Tony thought there was nothing to say in this respect. After all, everyone is already too familiar with Snapdragon 8, but vivo said that it is a customized security chip of Snapdragon 8 SPU.

To put it simply, this Snapdragon 8 chip carried by X Fold has undergone security enhancement, and the information is not easy to be lost, which is a bit of a business machine.

In terms of image, vivo moved the highly acclaimed Zeiss image to X Fold, with 5000W super-large bottom main camera +4800W super wide angle+60 times zoom periscope lens+portrait lens, and all four Zeiss shots in the full focus section arranged.

This is also a good point for X Fold. Usually, manufacturers will make a slight choice in the image performance of folding screens. After all, the cost is so high and the mobile phone space is pitifully small.

But I don’t know how vivo did it. They did put such a large lens module in, and there was still a serious Zeiss T coating. . .

However, vivo X Fold is not without slots. For example, its battery is not big enough. Tony doesn’t think that the 4600mAh battery can support two high-screen screens and Snapdragon 8 processors.

However, 66W flash charging and 50W wireless charging can somewhat alleviate the power anxiety, and X Fold is also the first folding screen mobile phone that supports 50W wireless charging.

There is also the mute button of this entity, which is easy to use, but it is not an innovation. It has been used by iPhone and Plus for many years.

Vivo this time is equivalent to sewing, making a vertical two-stage mute button, while iPhone is two-stage horizontal and one plus is three-stage vertical.

But in general, the surprise of vivo X Fold is not small, because this is the most stacked folding screen mobile phone so far, and it can even be described at any cost. . .

Whether it’s aerospace-grade floating-wing hinges, UTG super-tough glass, two 120Hz E5 screens supporting screen fingerprint recognition, or Zeiss full-focus four-shot, you can hardly find a folding screen phone with a higher configuration.

Even the Snapdragon 8 processor, which everyone is used to for a long time, and vivo can play tricks and do some articles on security.

But the biggest surprise is the price. Faced with such a configuration, Tony thinks it is cost-effective, because its expected price in the editorial department starts at 10,000 yuan.

In addition, you can also enjoy exclusive one-on-one service when purchasing vivo X Fold.

It can only be said that the war of involution is now officially brought to the field of folding screens by vivo. . .

>/ X Note

After the remodeling band invited by vivo sang a song, let’s enter the release of the second product-X Note.

Right ▼

Since this mobile phone is labeled with Note, it is undoubtedly a big-screen mobile phone.

Vivo stuffed a 7-inch wide screen on X Note this time, and the proportion came to an exaggerated 21: 10.

In the past, Tony only heard such a screen ratio on the fish screen of the big monitor.

According to my brother at the press conference, the thickness of X Note was not only controlled to 8.37mm this time, but also a technology called true micro-bend design was developed to prevent accidental touch while maintaining the feel of curved screen.

But Tony thinks that users who improve this wave of vivo may not necessarily buy it.

People who don’t like curved screens are not because they don’t feel high, but because they feel that curved screens never have a straight screen.

Subjective feelings such as hand feel and look and feel, or wait for the new machine to get started before carefully arranging the plate.

At the same time of plugging into the big screen, X Note is also equipped with a large battery of 5000mAh, which can bring 80W dual-cell flash charging, which can be fully charged in more than half an hour.

However, it is not the most important thing that the battery is large and the charging rate is fast. What is the specific endurance performance of the big screen is Tony’s concern.

At the same time, X Note also uses a large-area ultrasonic fingerprint under the screen. As long as the user’s finger is placed in the area delineated by the screen, it can be unlocked by one press.

Moreover, the time for recording fingerprints is also greatly shortened, and all the fingerprints can be entered with a long press, which is quite friendly.

In addition, the two-finger identification verification derived from large-area fingerprints is a good new function, which leaves double insurance for the encryption of property apps and private files.

In the smart office, X Note is mainly based on the office functions corresponding to Orgin OS system, which is exactly the same as what X Fold can do.

Tony originally thought that X Note would be like the Samsung Note series, but according to the information given at the press conference, Blue Factory’s positioning for business should only be at the software level.

The image parameters, X Note’s rear four shots and X Fold are exactly the same, so Tony won’t repeat them here.

To sum up, Tony thinks that this X Note can be regarded as a non-curved version of the X Fold above, and the price is much cheaper.

The starting price is 5999 yuan, which completely matches all the configurations that the last high-end flagship should have.

On the comfort of stacking materials, it has to be a blue factory.

>/ vivo Pad

Today’s last oversized cup product is vivo’s flat vivo Pad.

Although it is a manufacturer who made the tablet late, the face value of this tablet is indeed much better than the texture of friends. Although the configuration parameters given are not top-notch, it is enough for the positioning of the sitting tablet.

In terms of stylus, the 4096-level pressure sensing plus magnetic charging is basically the same as the experience of mainstream stylus. Tony’s stylus experience will be more critical in the matching of drawing apps.

In terms of keyboard accessories, vivo did not choose a floating keyboard, but took the path of a traditional flip keyboard, and the specific typing feel had to be tried.

Next, I think I stepped on the pain point of today’s Android tablet.

The parameters have never been lost, and the experience has never won. ▼

This sentence can accurately summarize the situation faced by the Android tablet now, which is also the problem to be solved by the vivo tablet.

Judging from the demonstration of the conference, vivo Pad upgraded Orgin OS to Orgin OS HD, and its compatibility and fluency, which seems to have been matched with iPad OS.

The interconnection between the mobile phone and the tablet is also excellent. From the synchronous operation, we can see that we have already felt the feeling of Airdrop transmission across devices in the iPad.

As for the most important note-taking interaction on the tablet, vivo also has its own ideas and new things, such as one-to-one correspondence between recorded content and note content through recording time stamps, which Tony thinks is quite novel.

The rest of the note-taking operation logic is still the same as Apple’s, which is easy to explain and widely praised.

What Tony said above is not mocking, but in the tablet industry, Apple’s iPad is currently the industry benchmark and stands out from the crowd.

Vivo Pad can do this, and Tony believes that his experience is among the best in the Android tablet.

In terms of price, the official starting price of vivo Pad is 2299 yuan. As an office collaboration tool, the voice of productivity is quite loud.

Of course, the price of accessories is acceptable, but the feel and function of the keyboard are really not easy to judge by the press conference alone.

>/ Ending

Generally speaking, the folding screen mobile phone released by Blue Factory tonight, judging from the contents mentioned at the press conference, is by far the most full and cost-effective folding screen mobile phone.

Whether it’s internal and external dual home screens, dual-screen ultrasonic fingerprints or dual-front camera, this mobile phone not only takes the folding screen as all the selling points, but also integrates better flagship machine configuration into it, which makes the usability of the folding screen go up a big step.

This time, the key blue factory has knocked down the price of folding screens in a down-to-earth manner. Looking back at the pricing of folding screens made by friends two years ago, I really dare not think about it.

The addition of Note and vivo tablet will greatly improve the richness of products in the blue factory ecology in the future.

Especially the tablet X vivo, to be honest, its efforts in the software system are in the right direction.

Nowadays, major manufacturers have the means and ability to stack hardware on the tablet, but if you really want to make the Android tablet shine, you have to polish the interaction and optimization of the experience.

This is the reason why the iPad sits firmly on the tablet throne, and it is also the core competition of Android tablet in the future.

Tony can’t wait to get started with these three new devices, and then we will get them for evaluation one after another. Interested friends don’t forget to keep paying attention!
