Skip the next generation!The vivo S18 Pro debuted review

Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-01-31

Seven months ago, the vivo S17 Pro was launched, and we were impressed by its ability to take pictures and images, and now vivo has launched the new S18 Pro - it can be calledSkip the next generation!new machine, it's to150% performance growth + better imaging systemShowing people, the power of generation upgrading is really a bit amazing.

Unified style and different design

On the front, the S18 Pro (left) and S17 Pro (right) are a bit indistinguishable. As far as the screen itself is concerned,S18 Pro uses a2800 1260 resolution BOE OLED Chaoyang eye protection screen,And support120HzHigh brush,Touch rate up to300Hz(Instantaneous touch sampling rate2000Hz),The actual display effect is quite good at the same price。

Flip to the back of the fuselage and you will see the essential difference, the imaging system of the S18 Pro (left) is completely different from that of the S17 Pro (right), which is also the most obvious appearance difference between the two generationsThe interior has changed dramatically.

What we have in our hands is the black version, its texture is different from ordinary glass, vivo named it Yunjin glass process, which contains a square diamond light point with a diameter of about 50um, so that the glass retains a smooth feel, and it is not easy to leave scratches and fingerprints, and the feel is also quite unique.

The bezel at the top is printed with the words "Professional Portrait", which expresses the positioning of the vivo S18 Pro:Professional portraits.

The bottom is not actually a straight edge, but a slightly concave design - it has a unified design language with the vivo S17 ProBut in the imaging system, soft light design, and has its own unique design.

Volume imaging vivo is serious

How is it considered involution?Vivo's answer is flagship decentralizationAs far as the S18 Pro itself is concerned, its imaging system has been greatly upgradedThe X100 has the same specifications as the 50-million-pixel IMX920 main camera, the 50-million-pixel JN1 ultra-wide-angle lens, and the X90S 12-million-pixel IMX633 portrait telephoto lens,Coupled with vivo's consistently strong algorithm blessing,S18 Pro's imaging level has been significantly improved compared with S17 Pro,You must know that S17 Pro is already amazing,vivo is really volume。

Pay attention to the auxiliary lighting system under the vivo S18 Pro lens group, which is based on the soft light of the S17 Pro, and its fill light ability has taken a big step forward - in addition, this soft light is also a flashlight, which greatly enhances its practicality.

Of course, you can't ignore vivo's efforts in imaging applications, a variety of preset shooting modes are sufficient, full, and people who are not good at photography can easily get started shooting.

In addition, vivo also gives a lot of detail adjustment options, which has higher requirements for imaging, and professional users can also adjust it independently.

Just look at the sample shotsThe mid-focus portrait lens is indeed the best part of the image;In the night scene, the smearing effect can be seen at the 15mm ultra-wide angle, and it is much better when switching to a 23mm lens, and it is even better at 47mm. In the past, everyone was fighting for wide angles, but now there are finally better options for medium and telephotoAfter all, the depth of field three-dimensional effect is more pronounced in medium and telephoto shots. In terms of personal experience,Equivalent 35mm 85mm is the best focal length, street sweeping, portraits, still lifes, and scenery can be taken into account.

Leapfrog performance increased by 150%!

It was equipped with vivo S18 ProMediaTek Dimensity 9200+SoC, compared to the S17 Pro's Dimensity 8200, has a huge performance improvement, and the actual test proves this. In addition, the S18 Pro's battery capacity is also larger than that of the S17 Pro, reaching 5000mAh, which is generally standard for flagship-level phones. The charging part of the S18 Pro supports 80W supercharging, of course, it is a private protocol, so the random charger must not be littered, otherwise it can only be charged with the charger of the universal PD protocol.

Again, the old saying is repeatedNewly released phones will have frequent system updates in the early stageThis is because vivo needs to constantly tune and optimize the phone according to the actual situation, and the function and performance will be significantly improved. For example, the first push after the initial version of the system, just updated the system, S18 Pro has a 5% improvement in the Antutu test. In addition, compared with the S17 Pro's test score of less than 1 million points, it is 15 times, the span of this upgrade is too big!

In Geekbench 55 and 60, vivo S18 Pro also performed very vigorously,The test results touched the threshold of the flagship.

Under 3DMark, the hard power of vivo S18 Pro has been verified againThe Dimensity 9200+ does have something.

In Crossmark, a cross-platform test app that focuses on the overall performance of mobile phones, the vivo S18 Pro also performed well, especially in the productivity test, which also broke through the 1000 mark.

PCMark achieved an overall score of 11595 – in fact, that's more than enough for most of today's applications.

It's easy to get to grips with the game

The vivo S18 Pro also performed well in real-world gaming tests, and we chose three games, namely Peace Elite, Genshin Impact, and Against the Cold. It should be pointed out that at present, the adaptation of S18 Pro is still in progress, for example, "Peace Elite" does not currently have a 90 frame option, and the test is carried out in HD+60 frames, and it is necessary to wait for the follow-up optimization and adaptation - so emphasize again:Be sure to keep up with system updates in the early stages.

During the test, the S18 Pro was extremely stable throughout the test, with an average frame rate of 592 frames, to be honest, this is not its real performance release level, Dimensity 9200+ runs "Peace Elite" at "HD + 90 frames" There is no problem, be patient and wait for the adaptation!

Genshin Impact is currently in version 43. Set the full height image quality and adjust the frame rate to 60 frames at the same time.

The average frame rate reached 58 in 30 minutes of testing7,99.In 9% of cases, it is greater than 45 frames, and there is only a momentary minimum of 41 frames in about 24 minutes.

Finally, there is the "Against the Cold" test, which is a game with a high performance cost, the image quality is set to "Fine" and the frame rate is modified to be super high for a 30-minute running test.

The frame rate recorded averaged 602 frames - in fact, these three games were testedThe performance of the S18 Pro is basically the same as that of the flagship. Of course,Super frame、Super resolutionThe function of the flagship machineS18 Pro does not have,Otherwise, how can the flagship machine live?

Small assistant large model vivo's intra-disk killer move

vivo S18 ProThe biggest change in the OriginOS 4 system is the implantation of the AI blue heart model, which has Wensheng diagrams, text refining and summarizing, Q&A, **search, article writing, ......In short, it can do a lot of things, and as the training model continues to accumulate and develop, it will only do more and more. As an assistive intelligence application, it is far more practical than the previous voice assistant class.

There is a preset blue heart small V icon on the desktop,In addition, the sidebar can also be called out quickly,The method is to slide from the right side of the screen to the left,At this time, it appears in the form of a small window,That is to say, you can call out and use it in any state,Of course, you can also enlarge it into the main window operation。

For students and office workers, it can be a very good text assistant to help summarize and refine, and at the same time, it can also quickly generate ** and so on with text descriptions, which also greatly improves the convenience of vivo S18 Pro.

Superior performance, a better imaging system, and a more convenient way to use all make the vivo S18 Pro easier to use than its predecessor. In 2024, the mobile phone market will not have the most volume, only more volume, vivo has highly targeted killer moves in every price range, and the strength is unexpected, which is undoubtedly more beneficial to consumers. If you are interested in the S18 Pro,It is highly recommended to go to the online ** store to try it out for yourself, I believe you will have your own answer.
