The release rhythm of mobile phones this year is a bit different. In December, which is usually called “off-season”, it suddenly became lively this year. It is related to the arrival of 5G and mobile phone manufacturers are rushing to do the last wave of sprint at the end of the year. Under the sprint of the wave, 5G’s transition from flagship exclusive to mid-end popularity was only less than six months.
There are many reasons to make 5G popular in a short period of time. Mobile phone manufacturers have high R & D efficiency, operators launch solutions quickly, and sufficient parts supply … all factors that make 5G popular from flagship to mid-range mobile phones. . At present, four SoC manufacturers, Qualcomm, Samsung, Hisilicon, and MediaTek, have launched their own 5G products, and some of them have been sold in the market.
The vivo X30 Pro we are talking about today is the first domestic mobile phone using Samsung Exynos 980 processor, which supports dual-mode 5G, but its strength seems to be more than that.
The vivo X30 series is equipped with an “ultra-small hole XDR screen” jointly developed by vivo and Samsung. The reason why it is called “ultra-small hole” is that the screen has a hole diameter of 2.98 mm, only about the top notice The bar icon is so large. This screen can also provide screen brightness up to 800 nits (local 1200 nits peak), supporting E3 wideColor gamut.
Since the screen ratio is 20: 9, we can also see that the mobile phone still leans to a slim design in the body design. Even with the size of 6.44 inches, one-handed operation is not difficult.
In this update, vivo also updated the GX optical screen fingerprint technology. The sensor detection area increased by 31%, and the unlocking time was reduced to 0.29 seconds, which is almost the speed of a touch.
Since it is the vivo X series, the focus of the product is still on the camera. This part also runs through the main rhythm of the entire event.
This time the vivo X30 Pro is equipped with a total of 4 cameras, each of which is useful-64 megapixel main camera, 8 megapixel super wide-angle (112 degrees + super macro), 32 megapixel portrait lens, The last is a 13-megapixel periscope lens hidden in a square opening.
Under these four lenses with a focal length of 16/26/50 / 135mm, vivo announced that vivo X30 Pro has a “full focus imaging system” and a dedicated color temperature sensor.
The 13-megapixel periscope lens supports 60x super zoom (digital) and OIS optical image stabilization technology. According to vivo, this lens is equivalent to a 135mm focal length lens, which can shoot 500 meters away.
Moreover, vivo also launched the “Super Moon Mode”, as the name suggests, is a function specially created for users to shoot the moon, and the super telephoto shooting picture is optimized through the AI algorithm.
In addition to telephoto, vivo also optimizes the portrait shooting function in depth. The 32-megapixel portrait lens is fixed at an equivalent 50mm focal length and has a maximum aperture of 2.0. Vivo says that the 50mm focal length is the best focal length for portrait shooting, and the system’s increased human eye focus and smart mask can also shoot people and adjust them to new heights.
In addition, the camera system has also been updated with backlighting, super night scene, super EIS video stabilization and other functions. At the same time, vivo announced that it has reached a cooperation with Douyin, adding multi-lens optional functions on the App side.
In terms of hardware, the entire vivo X30 series comes standard with Exynos 980 processor + 5G baseband. Exynos 980 is also the first SOC with A77 architecture, with a maximum frequency of 2.2GHz. The storage uses a combination of 8GB memory and 128 / 256GB storage space. The whole system is equipped with a standard 4350mAh battery and 33W fast charge and full-featured NFC.
Along with the X30 series, there is also the Funtouch OS 10 system. In this update, the new system focuses on three areas:
The first is to adjust the design of icons and animations, and increase the wallpaper in cooperation with German visual artist Roman DeGiuli to make it more natural;
The second is to add “VPG” (vivo Process Guardian) process guard technology and “favorite magnetic nails” to make the reading page close to become a system floating window for the convenience of second click;
Finally, an application sharing function has been added, so that mutual entertainment is not limited to one mobile phone.
Talk about VPG first.
The name VPG sounds a bit metaphysical, but in fact we can simply understand it as a system-level application control mechanism. Its role is to combine vivo’s own Multi-Turbo 2.5 acceleration engine to perform real-time system processes through AI. Monitoring to make the system a smoother operating experience.
According to data released by Vivo at the event, after joining VPG, the third-party application card death rate decreased by 80%, and the increase rate of 75% was the success rate of system-specific exception repair. In a nutshell, VPG is like an AI assistant that “lives” in the system. It can automatically optimize the system’s operation according to the algorithm, and unintentionally improve the program’s operating efficiency.

The function of “favorite magnetic nails” should be one of the more useful and commonly used functions of this update. It is like a small floating window that comes with the system. It can provide users with a comparison when watching web pages and videos. Switch apps to faster collection and recall methods. This function will be “hidden” at the edge of the screen in a small floating window. When you need to reopen the page, click the floating window to complete.
As for the “application sharing” feature, I think it is a very creative feature, but the premise is that at least two vivo phones with the same system can be used to achieve it.
The advantage of this feature is that one phone can directly share the App to another phone and open it. For example, the vivo X30 on my hand is out of power. Then I can use this function to synchronize the current App and content to another one. In vivo X30 Pro, this process is uninterrupted sharing according to vivo introduction, and the mobile phone can also exchange control rights.
For example, mobile phone A can make mobile phone B only display in split-screen mode. In turn, mobile phone B can also control the display content of mobile phone A.
Finally, the latest version of Funtouch OS will provide updates to Vivo NEX 3 series, X27 series, vivo NEX, S5 and other models as soon as February 2020. Updates will be available for Z-series, S-series, and a few X-series models later, but specific push times have not been announced.
In addition, vivo also announced that the TWS wireless headset will support Jovi artificial intelligence assistant access, and users can wake up Jovi to issue instructions directly by voice. Or let Jovi broadcast WeChat to users through voice and perform real-time translation.
This vivo X30 series offers a total of 3 colors, namely vermiculite, Mithril and Feiyun. In terms of price, vivo X30 is priced at 3298 yuan / 3598 yuan; vivo X30 Pro is priced at 3998 yuan / 4298 yuan, both phones support dual-mode 5G, and will be pre-sale online and offline on December 16th (today), December 24th Available today.
At the end of the event, vivo announced that the joint custom peripherals with Alexanderwang will be released in January 2020; the joint custom version X30 Pro will be launched in February and the price is to be determined.
