Foreword: The blue factory killer of the X60 series finale
At the end of 2020 not long ago, Vivo brought a new flagship X60 series. Just like the previous generation, it also took a different route from other brands by virtue of its cooperation with Samsung's Exynos series processors.
This generation has taken a bigger step forward in cooperation with Zeiss, an old optical factory in Germany. The X60 series has obtained the addition of the classic small blue label of the whole series of "ZEISS", showing that the two "blue factories" are performing "blue" "The preliminary results of the cooperation, in addition, the X60 series has also become the first model of OriginOS equipped with Vivo reborn.
The brand-new processor platform, brand-new imaging system, brand-new UI are all integrated in the Vivo X60 series, from which we can feel that the blue factory has placed many hopes and high hopes on the Vivo X60 series.
In addition, as the top gauge in the Vivo X60 series, the X60 Pro+ uses dual main cameras-GN1 super-sensitive main camera + IMX598 super wide-angle micro-head main camera, and the machine is also equipped with Snapdragon 888 5G SoC, 55W wired fast charge, the addition of plain leather shell adds a lot to the texture.
Next is our detailed evaluation experience for Vivo X60 Pro+.
A quick look at the appearance: All the staff changed to plain leather to chase high-end texture
Except for the plain leatherback, the overall design style of the Vivo X60 Pro+ is basically the same as that of the X60 Pro of the same series. It adopts the center-mounted micro-curved screen design that is relatively rare among domestic mobile phones. The same screen ratio, digging The visual impact of the hole is also small, and the smaller curved surface reduces the interference to the screen display.
The specific parameters of the screen of Vivo X60 Pro+ are exactly the same as those of X60 Pro. They are all E3 AMOLED panels, DCI-P3 color gamut, 120Hz high refresh rate, and 1300nit local peak brightness.
Holes are dug at the top, which contains a 32 million front camera.
The chin obviously uses a COP package, and each frame of the screen is very narrow.
It may be due to the need to reduce weight as much as possible to improve the gripping experience. Vivo X60 Pro+ currently only provides an environmentally friendly plain leather color scheme. There are deep-sea blue and classic orange as dark and bright colors. The plain leather can provide natural skin-friendly properties and soft touch.
Compared with glass, the advantage of the plain leather back cover is that it is not easy to leave scratches, fingerprints, and other stains that break the visual perception.
The special text annotation of "Professional Image" shows the depth of Vivo's focus
The top and bottom of the fuselage are deliberately made into a flat surface, of which there is only a microphone opening on the top and a decorative beautification design. The bottom is a SIM card slot, Type-C charging port, and speaker openings.
Video experience: actual test! Collect the complete body of Zeiss small blue label and T* small red label
Entering 2021, watching a group of 48 million, 64 million pixel old faces CMOS continue to be the main force on the stage, three cameras or the three cameras, four cameras or the four cameras, most of them just change the shape and finish. Iteration. It is unbearable for the low-end and mid-range phones to be demanding, and quite a few flagships are still following the same logic.
The reason for this is not difficult to understand: the bottom of the current mobile phone camera has almost reached its limit. The larger the bottom, the longer the distance between the lens and the CMOS. The thickness of the mobile phone camera increases and it takes up more and more internal space in the fuselage. Knowing that the lens seriously affects imaging, it is difficult to find any space to make way for it. Mobile phone images cannot be detached from the laws of objective existence-just like the development of semiconductors obeys Moore's Law.
Compared with cameras, the advantages of mobile photography have always been software algorithms and stacks, which satisfy most users’ habit of shooting straight out and avoid the trouble of post-processing adjustments that have higher thresholds. For most ordinary users In general, computational photography is a great invention of this era.
Domestic manufacturers are doing very well in this regard, but quite a lot of them stop at the follow of night scene mode and the richness of beauty gameplay. For a long time, they haven't seen any new works that are truly innovative. Therefore, after mobile photography reaches the bottleneck period, moving forward will only open up more and more battlefields.
In the recent period, the protagonist who has shown big moves in the field of mobile phone imaging is undoubtedly Vivo. It announced its cooperation with Zeiss. With the assistance of computational photography technology, Blue Factory continues to explore ways to improve the physical quality of lens modules using the X60 series as the platform. Leap space and possibility.
In the past practices of manufacturers in many different fields and even different industries, the core competitive advantages of Zeiss optical systems have gradually emerged: lens miniaturization, color accuracy, and T* coating to reduce reflectivity, etc., to improve imaging, which is completely in line with the needs of mobile phone imaging systems. Coincide.
When it comes to the miniaturization of the lens, it needs to be attributed to the Tessar lens group. The classic representative of this is the "Vario-Tessar", which was introduced into digital cameras by Sony in the early days, and later appeared on the black card RX100 and is still used today.
As a Zeiss blue-label mobile phone, the main camera of the Vivo X60 series has also been adjusted in accordance with the high standards of the Tessar lens group, referring to its iconic design elements-increasing the number of lenses in the lens makes it easier to correct aberrations. In the process of manufacturing the lens, the precision of the lens is 0.25μm or less, so as to ensure that the surface shape of the lens is consistent with the design.
If you pay attention, you will find that in the Vivo X60 series, a Zeiss blue label X60 and X60 Pro are affixed for comparison. As the flagship of the super cup, the X60 Pro+ has a small red label with T* low glare coating. This is the machine. The difference from the other two models of the same family is that it is supported by the T* anti-glare coating technology that Zeiss is proud of.
Regarding T* coating, it is not a well-known thing, so here is a brief review: In 1935, Zeiss engineer Alexander Smakula invented a film called " T" coating, which is a coating process that can be used for anti-reflection on the lens surface. It greatly improves the transmittance of the lens and reduces the glare, thereby significantly improving the image quality.
According to the data, the reflectivity of the central area of the lens surface is about 0.5% due to the conventional coating process, while the reflectivity of the edge area is as high as 2%; with the ALD process, the reflectivity of the central area and the edge area of the lens can be averaged 0.25%, which is equivalent to a 50% reduction in the reflectivity of the light in the central area (of the lens surface) and an 87.5% reduction in the reflectivity in the edge area.
The decrease in reflectivity means that the light transmittance is increased. The reflectivity brought by the conventional coating process is 0.5%, while the use of ALD coating technology can reduce the reflectivity to 0.25%, and the reflectivity is reduced by 50%, which means that more light can enter the lens.
In addition, the ALD coating process can also solve the problem of glare and ghosting caused by reflected light that plague mobile phones in complex light, especially in night light.

From the actual effect, the strategy of Vivo X60 Pro+ to eliminate ghosts and glare by improving the quality of the lens set and the coating is better than the computational photography that I have experienced in the past to correct the ghost and glare with algorithms. Even if the algorithm can eliminate the glare, the image after the repair also loses the original texture brought by the straight out.

The ultra-wide-angle lens of Vivo X60 Pro+ uses a micro-head and has evolved to version 2.0: Based on the 48-megapixel IMX598 sensor, through the improvement of the physical quality of the module and the assistance of algorithms, it has reached the night that only larger size sensors could achieve in the past. Visual effect-overthrowing the traditional definition of the mid-bottom structure that crushes people.
This may be the strongest ultra-wide-angle I have ever seen. It has the qualities of a general flagship main camera, and on this basis, it supports 14mm equivalent focal length to achieve 114-degree ultra-wide-angle shooting without correction, and it is specially designed for ultra-wide-angle. According to official data, the adjusted night scene algorithm has increased its single-frame exposure time by up to 400%, and ISO increased by up to 264%.
In the case of similar imaging quality, the Vivo X60 Pro+ can shoot ultra-clear and ultra-wide-angle night scene images with about 3 times the field of view of the X60 Pro's main camera, which is quite shocking.

Zeiss has made considerable improvements to the imaging of Vivo portraits: the relationship between the depth of field and perspective has been optimized in place; the color style has also undergone considerable qualitative changes along with the use of computational photography technology by Vivo's Zeiss Biotar portrait style, and users can make whatever they want While the central figure is clear, the out-of-focus blur presents a vortex and eye-catching portrait photography effect.
In addition, the telephoto shooting performance of the Vivo X60 Pro+ is also quite remarkable. Next, we will look at the proofs directly.

User experience: Snapdragon 888 leads the top platform of the Android camp
Among the Vivo X60 series, X60 and X60 Pro use Exynos1080 processors, while Pro+ is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, which further consolidates the status of the Vivo X series from a mid-to-high-end fashion mobile phone to a flagship series.
About performance
Regarding the specifications of Snapdragon 888, everyone is already very familiar with it. It is manufactured using a brand-new Samsung 5nm process. It still has eight cores in terms of CPU, but it has upgraded a new architecture layout, especially the world’s first super-large ARM. Core architecture Cortex-X1.
The main frequency of the X1 core of the Snapdragon 888 is the traditional 2.84GHz, and there are also three performance-level cores of the A78 architecture, all at 2.40GHz, and four energy efficiency cores with the A55 architecture, all at 1.80GHz.

This generation of Snapdragon 888 integrates Adreno 660 GPU. Qualcomm claims that the graphics rendering performance has increased by 35%, the energy efficiency has increased by 20%, and the display technology has been greatly enhanced, supporting 144Hz high refresh rate/high frame rate, true 10-bit HDR, etc.
In the GFXbench test, the Gaoxiaolong 888 equipped with the Vivo X60 Pro+ reached 168FPS in Manhattan 3.0 1080p off-screen score; the Aztec ruins Vulkan 1080p/regular off-screen score was 87FPS and even exceeded A13.
The scores of the above two test sub-items are more than 33% and 50% higher than the scores of Snapdragon 865, so it seems that the improvement is quite large.

Temperature measurement
In the future mobile phone evaluation, we will start to introduce the temperature measurement link, specifically, the Antutu running test in a constant temperature indoor environment, measuring the highest temperature of the body before and after the running.
The test was carried out at a room temperature of 21°C. The maximum temperature of the fuselage before the run was 30.2°C, and it rose to 37.4°C after the run.
Charging battery life
Vivo X60 Pro+ has a built-in 4200mAh battery and uses Vivo Super FlashCharge technology to achieve a maximum charging power of 55W.
In the case of 70% brightness and 30% volume, use Bilibili to connect to Wi-Fi, insert dual cards to watch 1080P online video, and get the discharge record statistics as shown in the figure. It can be estimated that under test conditions, the Vivo X60 Pro+ can last more than 10 hours of continuous chase.
Vivo X60 Pro+ has been upgraded to 55W fast charge, which is second only to the 120W solution in the Vivo mobile phone system. It can be seen that it only takes 50 minutes to charge from 1% to 100%, and the blood recovery time is not slow.
Summary: The flagship of the Blue Factory Super Cup worthy of recognition
When I was evaluating and experiencing the X60 Pro last time, the author thought that the X60 Pro is already a very powerful flagship, so how to put the position of the "super cup" X60 Pro+? What kind of upgrade can be made? Now the answers behind these questions are clearly visible as our experience with the machine deepens.
The Vivo X60 Pro+ blue factory is the pinnacle of introducing Zeiss, an optical giant, into its own mobile phone imaging. The two jointly launched Zeiss optical lenses on the X60 series. In order to improve the resolution, the ALD coating process is used on the X60 Pro+ camera. The light transmittance is improved, and more light can enter the lens. In the actual experience, it effectively avoids glare, ghosting and other problems, making the image more transparent and more color. The reality, especially for night scenes.
In addition to the main camera, a variety of optical lenses, such as ultra-wide-angle lenses and ultra-telephoto lenses, are included in this system. They all have high resolution and improve various optical problems, including dispersion, flare, purple fringing, ghosting, etc. With various optical problems, the image quality is far better than the previous flagship models of Vivo.
At the same time, Vivo X60 Pro+ uses algorithms to reproduce the rotating blur effect of the Zeiss Biotar lens in the portrait mode of the X60 series, and the real portrait photos are very Zeiss flavor.
During the whole experience, what impressed the author most was that based on the imaging system jointly constructed with Zeiss, the Vivo X60 Pro+ focused on reconstructing ultra-wide-angle images, which included a 48-megapixel IMX598 sensor. With the aid of the micro-pan-tilt structure, it achieves the night vision effect that only larger size sensors can achieve in the past-overthrowing the traditional definition of a mid-bottom structure that crushes people.
The ultra-wide-angle image achieved by the Vivo X60 Pro+ is the most powerful I have ever seen. It has the specifications that a general flagship main camera has, and on this basis, it supports a 14mm equivalent focal length to achieve 114-degree ultra-wide-angle shooting without correction. In addition to the night scene algorithm specially tuned for the ultra-wide angle, the Vivo X60 Pro+ can shoot ultra-clear and ultra-wide-angle night scene images with 3 times the field of view of the X60 Pro's main camera when the imaging quality is comparable.
Among the entire X60 series, X60 Pro+ is not the lightest and thinnest. As the stacking materials become stronger, the weight and thickness are also increasing, but the thickness and weight of the fuselage are controlled at 9.10mm/190.6g respectively. Among the 5G flagships, especially the dual-camera models, is a rare lightweight model.
If X60 Pro still has some minor regrets in details such as linear motor and fast charging, then X60 Pro+ complements the last experience that cannot be called a shortboard through the addition of a linear motor and 55W fast charging, comprehensive performance platform, imaging system, High-end texture, etc., Vivo's creation of X60+ is quite successful, especially the cooperation with Zeiss can be regarded as a great sublimation of the results of image exploration in recent years, which is worthy of recognition.
