At this stage，within their respective price ranges，Mobile phones from mainstream brands have become very mature、balanced，It's hard to find a bad product。But good is not enough，If you don’t want to be mediocre，Let consumers pay attention to themselves，Mobile phones must have characteristics on a balanced basis，attract a specific group of people。
Can vivo S series mobile phones sell well?，The main factor is the characteristics。certainly，Products that sell well still have room to get better。We can see from the newly released vivo S9 on March 3，The vivo S series is also trying to improve itself，On the basis of good looks and selfies，Added the flagship Dimensity 1100 SoC、VC vapor chamber for heat dissipation and high refresh rate，Actual performance is curious。
Body design：Small screen mobile phones discontinued，Thin and light mobile phone。We often see netizens complaining that “mobile phones are too big now”、“We want small-screen phones”。but，Still no one buys small-screen mobile phones，Reduced to the miserable state of annihilation。How did this contradictory situation come about? Get to the bottom of it，Mainstream consumers are unwilling to sacrifice screen display area，The one-handed holding experience they really want cannot be achieved with a small screen，And have to rely on thinness。
vivo S7 is already very light and thin，It can be regarded as the first generation of "small waist" in the 5G era.。vivo S9 continues this idea，All length and width of the fuselage are shortened。The Midnight Blue color model is thinner than the vivo S7，is 7.35mm，The body weight is controlled at 173g。
One-hand grip，by measurements、Weight and body lines jointly create the。The middle frame of the vivo S9 has undergone a major overhaul.，From the traditional curved edge to the straight edge after trimming，The material has also changed to mirror aviation aluminum。It doesn't matter what your name is，The important thing is that this aluminum alloy feels and looks better than ever，It feels more delicate，looks more advanced。
The three colors of vivo S9 all have great efforts in internal coating and external glass technology.。The Midnight Blue color scheme we got is the one most suitable for male users.，The aluminum material of the middle frame of the fuselage is also a matching dark color，It looks more advanced than simple bright silver。
Because the vivo S7 uses a curved middle frame，Vivo S9 changed to a right-angled middle frame，Everyone will definitely worry about the deterioration of the feel，However, the opposite is true。Vivo S9 straight-edge middle frame has cut edges on both sides，Connected to the cutting edge is the curved buffer layer。That is to say，Vivo S9 is sharp where it should be，The place that should be round is round.，Not irritating。
In addition to the "brick"-like figure，Another common body shape that is often criticized by consumers is that the camera protrudes.。But vivo S9 does a good job in this regard，It’s a mobile phone suitable for streaking。
selfie：Selfie Encyclopedia + Photo Retouching King。The vivo S series’ research on selfies is no longer a matter of one or two days.，Played a lot of selfie tricks，The same is true for vivo S9。Beauty by region、Put on makeup、filter、The lighting effects are waiting for nothing.。on the basis of，vivo S9 also has a teaching function，The position and posture of the selfie template will be marked on the screen.，Help you pose。Just in terms of the number of self-portraits，There shouldn’t be anyone who thinks it’s less, right?

certainly，Gameplay is only one aspect，Camera hardware also has a great impact on imaging。The vivo S9 front camera uses a 44-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera.，And screen soft light + double soft light fill light。Two soft lights are hidden in the gaps on the left and right ends of the earpiece，If it doesn't light up, you can't see it.。and，In addition to soft light fill light，The front of vivo S9 also supports night scene mode，Polar night mode can also be activated in darker scenes，No need for fill light，Can also take selfies in low light。
Let’s take a look at the sample below：
In addition to low-light selfies and numerous ways to play，The number of later functions of vivo S9 is also quite amazing，Even a little caught off guard，Because there are so many customizable options。In the self-contained photo album，We can adjust including blur、filter、Graffiti、light effect、General options including text。Then，We can also enter "Advanced Photo Editing"，Unlock more retouching methods for all types of photos。
rear camera：Really rich gameplay。vivo S9 rear camera，It followed the same path of "hardware + gameplay + post-processing" as the front-end。The hardware is 64-megapixel main camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle + 2-megapixel macro camera；There are more than just filters to play、Light effect, etc.，There is also a very literary "double exposure"。
The photo retouching function mentioned in the previous selfie session，You can also enjoy the rear photos。Vivo S9’s later functions are too rich，Let’s find a few representative ones to demonstrate to you.。
certainly，There is no perfect thing in the world。Easy to use, easy to use，Vivo S9’s camera still hasn’t overcome the stubborn problem that has plagued smartphones for a long time：The quality of the secondary camera is not as good as the main camera。Although the color and white balance of the secondary camera are quite good，However, the resolution will still be worse than the 64-megapixel main camera.。also，This machine does not have a telephoto camera，Friends who like to take pictures of the moon should pay attention。
but，Slightly weaker secondary camera image quality，You can use the rich photo filters of vivo S9、style and post-mitigation。Let’s take a look at the sample below，You can pay attention to photos that have been filtered or stylized。
performance：Dimensity 1100 debut。Although the era of just striving for running points has passed，However, users’ sensitivity to mobile phone performance has not decreased at all.，It’s just that our perception of performance has become more scene-based.。Benchmarks can only test extreme performance，But it cannot represent the actual usage scenario。So we need a practical value，A test scene that can make the phone "sweat"，Such as games。

The final part of the performance review，Please look directly at the picture below：
Battery：Logistics support did not hold us back。no matter what price、What functions does the mobile phone have?，Both are inseparable from long-lasting battery life and fast charging。Under the limitations of thin and light body and VC vapor chamber，The battery of vivo S9 is 4000mAh，And equipped with a 33W fast charging head。
First, let’s test the battery life，At 50% brightness and external volume，Let’s watch the 90-minute video from Station B (1080P HD，Open barrage)、Listen to NetEase Cloud Music for 30 minutes (default sound quality)、Record 30 minutes of video (default quality)、Browse Weibo for 30 minutes、30 minutes shopping on Taobao、Play "Peace Elite" for 90 minutes (default quality)。

system：OriginOS。2020November，vivo releases new operating system OriginOS，Subsequently listedvivo X60 seriesandiQOO 7 seriesThey are all equipped with this operating system that represents vivo’s latest design concept.。now，OriginOS finally officially comes to the vivo S series。
OriginOS adopts a new UI design，Animation is smoother、Interaction is more convenient，And integrates performance optimization technologies such as memory fusion and Mulit-Turbo。
Combined with the 90Hz refresh rate screen of vivo S9，Whether in terms of functionality or appearance，OriginOS has added a lot of points to this phone。If you have high requirements for the appearance of the system interface，Also like some interesting little features，OriginOS is probably the operating system tailor-made for you。
Vivo S9 this mobile phone，The design is exquisite enough，The performance of Dimensity 1100 is strong，Heat dissipation is good enough，The system is also user-friendly，but take pictures，especially selfies，It has always been one of the core competitiveness engraved in the bones of this series。Especially in terms of gameplay and post-production，Vivo S9 has raised the "splendid variety" in quantity and the "fool level" in intuitive operation to a new level。
At a time when the camera hardware of major manufacturers is becoming more and more "abnormal"，These are easy to operate、Widely applicable photography/post-production methods are the key to making your products stand out.。after all，I really want to pick on quality.，We can use professional SLR，But if you really want to integrate so many photography and post-production capabilities into a device that can be put in your pocket，We still can’t live without mobile phones。
