vivo X50 Pro 5G product review

The vivo X50 series has three models, namely the thinnest and lightest X50, the X50 Pro with micro gimbal and Snapdragon 765G, and the X50 Pro with Snapdragon 865. X50 and X50 Pro both use Snapdragon 765G SoC, X50 Pro's main selling point is the micro gimbal, the workmanship of these two models is a very good model in the same price range, but Qualcomm does not have many choices in the mid-range SoC, resulting in these two models are a bit of a high price and low configuration, focusing on the offline market.

X50 Pro compared with the previous two versions,Mainly to make up for the shortcomings in performance,Equipped with Snapdragon 865SoC,It has the same performance as the flagship model,And strengthens the long board of the image part,Although there is no micro gimbal,But the main camera uses Samsung's GN1 sensor,It has1/1.31Inch photosensitive area and2.4μmSingle pixel size,The hardware can also be benchmarked against P40 Pro。

As for the price,Compared with this year's new Android flagship,X50 Pro 4998The starting price of yuan is a relatively low level,It can be regarded as cost-effective in vivo's models,But the configuration is still slightly shrunk compared to the flagship machine of the same level,There is only a single speaker and a rotor motor,There is no wireless charging,It's a pity in the detail experience,But it retains the AK4377A Hi-Fi chip,Canceled3.5mmHeadphone jack,Comes with Type-C headphones。

The appearance and workmanship of the vivo X series have always been a big selling point, and it is also reflected in the X50 series, with an aluminum alloy middle frame, AG frosted glass on the back cover, COP packaging, and a version of the plain leather back cover, which also feels very good. The two most special selling points are the rear camera module and the micro-slit earpiece, X50 Pro is a rear quad camera module, it cleverly uses a stepped layout, the periscope telephoto is on the first floor, and the other three cameras are on the second layer, which doesn't look too bloated. The micro-slit earpiece enhances the sense of unity of the front screen, and it is difficult to see the slit of the earpiece without looking carefully.

Among the flagship models that exceed 200g, the X50 Pro is only 192g, which is not thin and light in the hand, but it is still relatively light. The thickness of the fuselage is 8.83mm, and with the sleek and smooth fuselage frame on both sides, it feels very comfortable in the hand.

In terms of screen,X50 Pro is better than X50 Pro,Although they are all FHD Samsung OLED screens,But the refresh rate has been increased from90Hz to 120Hz,Touch sampling rate has been increased from180Hz to 240Hz,It also supports HDR10 video playback,In other words,In addition to this screen, in addition to not having QHD resolution,The quality is also in the middle and upper reaches of the flagship。

In terms of performance, X50 Pro has basically been given to the top, Snapdragon 865, UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 memory are readily available, which is a normal level in flagship machines, but compared with the previous X50 Pro765G, there has been a huge improvement, and it will not be complained by online users because of performance shortcomings.

Although the Pro is not equipped with a micro gimbal, the configuration specifications of the image part are very high, and none of the four rear cameras are counted. The main camera is Samsung S5KGN1, 1/1.31 inch of photosensitive area and 2.4μm single pixel size, 50 million pixels, up to 100 million pixels, is second only to IMX700 outsole sensor. The 2x telephoto is Samsung S5KGD1, 32 million pixels, and the feeling of shooting portraits is really comfortable. The ultra-wide angle is the Samsung S5K3L6, with 13 million pixels. The super telephoto part is the K5K3M5 with 5x optical zoom, with 13 million pixels.

The main camera is in 4-in-1 mode,The resolution is not as good as HuaweiP40 Pro,The situation is reversed after the 100 million pixel mode,But in daily use, it is rare to zoom in so much to see the details,The difference between the two is mainly different color adjustment,vivo is saturated,P40 Pro is close to reality,And X50 Pro100 million pixel modeThere will be chromatic aberration in the middle and around,The color reproduction in the middle is more realistic,And the surrounding is slightly magenta。

When shooting portraits, vivo still has more advantages in portrait shooting, and the skin tones of the characters are more pleasing to the eye, which belongs to the type that looks good when it comes out, while the Huawei P40 Pro is relatively flat, and the skin tone is slightly dull.

In the comparison of ultra-wide angles, the angle of the P40 Pro is slightly narrower, but the style can be consistent with the main camera, and the resolution is better than that of the X50 Pro, but when shooting scenes, the X50 Pro has a wider angle, giving people a stronger visual impact, and when shooting people, vivo's grasp of skin tone is still better than that of the P40 Pro.

In terms of ultra-telephoto, it mainly depends on the use scenarios of their respective focal lengths, and they need to use 10x zoom, naturally P40 Pro performs better, and when it comes to 5x zoom, X50 Pro's resolution is obviously superior, which can be regarded as having its own merits.

vivo's Funtouch system has been criticized before, the main reason is that the design language and animation effects are not uniform, but in Funtouch 10.5, these two points have been improved a lot, at least now to use, UI will not become an obvious shortcoming of vivo models.

In terms of battery life, X50 Pro is equipped with a 4350mAh battery, which is a relatively small capacity among the generally 4500mAh 5G flagships, plus 5G and 120Hz, two large power consumers, the battery life performance is not particularly good, and it can only be said that it can cope with daily use.

In terms of charging, the maximum power of the included charging head is 55W, but the X50 Pro itself only supports 44W fast charging, charging 66% in half an hour, and it takes about 1 hour to fully charge.
