Some time ago we reviewed the vivo S18 Standard Edition, from the appearance can be seen from the full of oriental aesthetic style, the image can also have a better light and shadow bloom. The overall performance of the S18 Standard Edition is already very good, so with the upgraded chip and imaging system of the Pro version, how big is the actual improvement? After reading this article, I believe you also have an answer.
Chip upgraded, more powerful performance
vivo S18 Pro equipped with Tengui 9200 + chip, using TSMC 4nm process technology, 1 + 3 + 4 architecture, Cortex-X3 supercore maximum main frequency of 3.35GHz, there are 3 A715 core and 4 A510 energy core composition, as the sub-flagship chip of the Tengui, the AnTuTuTu V10 score can also reach 144W + points, the performance is quite good.
Tenguet 9200 + can now also play, but also to the actual game test performance. The actual test in 24 degrees of room temperature, the vivo S18 Pro's "Glory of Kings" set to very high (120 frames) + extreme image quality, half an hour of testing down to the average frame rate of 119.3 frames, power consumption of only 3.8 W, it seems that the low load game vivo S18 Pro is still stable.
Since the performance of the King is very stable, let's take a look at the more loaded "Original God", set the image quality to very high, the frame rate of 60 frames, restart the game after half an hour of running back and forth to the city of Sumeru the average frame rate of 55 frames, although fluctuating a lot, but still try very hard to get closer to 60 frames. You should know that the Sumeru round-trip is the highest loaded in our original God test, so as a phone that focuses on images, the performance of the Vivo S18 Pro is still acceptable, and you can play it with a little lower image quality.
The vivo S18 Pro's memory combination has been upgraded to a maximum of 16GB + 512GB, in addition to the memory can be expanded by up to 16GB, storage on the phone can also be based on your habits, by compressing the less frequently used APP way to release more space. We have 512GB of storage in our hands, which can be compressed to save up to 50GB of space, allowing you to put down more pictures or video content.
In terms of battery life, the Vivo S18 Pro includes a 5000mAh Blue Ocean battery, and its small size allows the S18 Pro's body to be 7.45mm and weighs only 187g, keeping it comfortable in your hand while also having long-lasting battery life.
Charging, vivo S18 Pro equipped with 80W voyage flash charging, the actual test from 1% of the power to start charging, 10 minutes to charge 27% of the power, half an hour charging already to 80%, and finally charged to 100% of the power in 39 minutes and 44 seconds. Although the performance is moderate, but half an hour can charge 80% of the capacity, I believe it can also ease the battery life anxiety of many friends.
Flagship image hardware decentralization, texture pull full
As the title says, the main camera of the Vivo S18 Pro is equipped with the same 50-megapixel IMX920 sensor as the X100 series, the same ultra-wide-angle sensor as the X100 series, and a 32-megapixel telephoto portrait lens as the X90s, so whether you're shooting landscapes or portraits, it's going to give you a good performance.
