I have never used VIVO and OPPO machines. The last main Android machine was OnePlus 6T, and now the main machine is iphone SE2020. VIVO X60 pro replaces pixel2
Use Mobile phone habits: I don’t play mobile games (I will put some games on my mobile phone, such as Mario Run, Stardew Valley, and Baldur’s Gate), but I basically don’t play them. My mobile phone basically browses forums, and the main purpose is to take photos on WeChat^_ ^. The use of mobile phones for the elderly requires relatively high requirements for the camera, so it requires large storage (those with children will understand). It also has high requirements for the design and workmanship of the mobile phone, and at the same time, it does not like the mobile phone to be large. (Actually, I know that the suitable machines for me are iPhone 12 Mini and Google Pixel 5, but I just can’t bear the turmoil of digital enthusiasts. What should I do?)
Let me talk about the results first. I am more than half in advance. I ordered the machine on JD.com last month and got the machine on January 8, which is considered the first batch of users. On January 8th, I first had the urge to sell the machine. On January 11th, I decided to sell the machine. I posted on the forum and posted it on Xianyu.com and sold the machine on January 12th. 4499 to buy, 3700 to sell with free shipping.
Let’s talk about the argument again. Digital products (actually not just digital products, ranging from shoes to wives) are not the best, only the ones that suit you.
It's a long story. The story starts with OnePlus 6T. This is a machine that I rarely use for a long time in more than ten years. I bought it on JD.com on November 14, 2018. It was sent to JD.com for recycling on July 24, 2020. In the past two years of use, I have accumulated my preference for the OnePlus brand (this year I bought two 8Ts for Dad and Taishan respectively as support. If the 8pro is too big, I will buy it first. ), and Xiaomi Mix started a trend of full-screen displays in China. VIVO’s NEX and OPPO’s FindX used lifting and lowering cameras to make screen-to-body ratio an important keyword in the mobile phone industry in those years. At the same time, these two brands began to come into my sight (I always thought that the mobile phones made by BBK were copycat phones, Orz)
In fact, OnePlus 6T still has many small problems during use. , for example, the input method often becomes unresponsive (this is the main reason why I finally sold the machine), and the image quality of the camera software that comes with the system is terrible (using Google Camera can be greatly improved, especially for night scenes. Google’s software is simply It benefits a lot of small factories that cannot adjust their own camera software), but the system is simple and bright (some people think it is a mistake, haha, one body has two sides), the system is fast, the overall workmanship quality is excellent, it is easy to install Google services, and the mute button existence (among all Android phones, only Hammer is probably still persisting), these are the advantages that I like.
These advantages made me empathize with oppo and vivo, both brands under BBK. After comparing oppo reno 5 pro and vivo x60 pro many times, I also watched the Xiaomi 11 press conference. , I chose vivo for two reasons, one is the centered front camera, and the other is the micro-PTZ. By the way, the Starry Dream and Floating Night Shadows of reno5 this time are really good to touch and very beautiful. Here is a picture. (If it’s good, you have to praise it)
In fact, there are many genres that people like when it comes to centered cameras. Straight men like me don’t want front-facing cameras at all. Some people like the bangs of the Apple series. Some people like the mole on the eyebrow, and some people like the centered camera, because there is no good camera without front camera, so I can only choose from the latter ones. I just changed the SE in 2020, and I will put the mini first, and I will change it next year. Bar.
Then I don’t consider Android’s notch at all. I actually don’t care if the camera is in the middle or on both sides. However, most curved screen machines cannot place the center of the camera on the R-angle bisector of the screen due to engineering reasons. Then in recent years, domestic products High-end phones all have curved screens, which is a pain in the butt for me, so the next best thing is to settle for a centered front-facing camera which is my best solution at this stage. (Maybe next year when under-screen front-facing cameras become more popular, this problem won’t exist.)
Insert a paragraph here. The camera is on the side and the center is on the R angle bisector. It is probably Google. Machines like pixel4a and pixel5 are not price sensitive and are not recommended for gaming.
Micro-PTZ is a recent (micro) innovation in mobile phone camera systems. Better anti-shake performance, or better night scene performance brought by longer exposure time, is reflected in the external appearance. In the Samsung s20 series camera system arrangement (OnePlus 8t, smartisanr2, etc.), Huawei mate30-40 series camera system arrangement, OnePlus 8pro series camera system arrangement, reno5 series camera system arrangement, Xiaomi 11 series camera system arrangement , iphone11-12 series camera system arrangement and other series of mobile phone camera arrangement designs, my favorite ones are the designs of Huawei and vivo x60, and the most annoying ones are the iphone and Xiaomi 11. Of course, aesthetics Things are very personal. Just take what you need.
Well, I won’t go into details, otherwise it will become a 10,000-word long article (if I don’t go into details, it would be the ramblings of a middle-aged person). I received the machine on January 8th. Dong Ge’s company is very reliable. When I opened the package, I felt oily stains from hand sweat on the protective film of the machine. The sticker on the card removal pin was a little crooked, and there were some slight marks on the surface of the charger. , for a handheld device player who has experience in disassembling hundreds of devices, it is very easy to identify these. I don’t care whether it is a returned device or what. After all, I have played with more second-hand things than first-hand things. The plot of having a virgin is Unable to survive ^_^ There are so many nonsense words just to say that the unpacking experience of the vivo machine is not very good and lacks a sense of refinement. It is not as good as Apple, not as good as OnePlus, not as good as Xiaomi mix2, and even not as good as the Hammer from the time of Lao Luo (because I have only bought T1). I know that vivo’s flagship should be the nex series, but the most popular Hua Dan (x series) in the past two years, a domestic machine with a price of 4499, should have more sense of ceremony and refinement
Then import the data. Last time I remember who was in the forum, saying how convenient it is to switch to Apple devices. In fact, the Android camp is really not bad now. You will know from experience. I imported the data from pixel2 Exporting to x60pro is painless and smooth. I have to praise this vivo switching software. It feels better than Huawei (the working machine is Huawei, and the transition from mate10 to mate30pro is not very smooth. Some software prompts that the conversion failed. ), of course the software involved in these two replacements is different, this is just an objective description of the supervisor’s feelings.
Vivo’s new system corner is orginOS. The x60pro is equipped with 1.0. By default, the aesthetic is online. The converter is a very good small plug-in, one-click desktop background Blur, one-click background black, when the background is blurred and grayscale is added, and the foreground color is soft, the overall UI style rises to a higher level. This is much better than Huawei and Samsung. On this point, which one have I seen before? A designer from a family said something like this (ifanr wrote an article many years ago), which roughly means that the bottleneck of domestic mobile phone system UI design is not the designer but the leadership of the review designer. As a person who has worked in the system for many years To put it bluntly, the logic of this statement is absolutely correct, and it is most likely true.
(BYD can’t design a good Peugeot? It’s just that no matter how good the designer is, Party A’s father still has the final say on what is designed!)
But the system is 1.0 after all, and many things are still in the UI Small changes have been made at the level of originOS. So far, it cannot be compared with miui or oneUI, or even SmartisanOS of Smartisan, but the foundation is still good. The system settings are also much simpler than the native Android. It is perfect but looks streamlined. Some people say that the status bar is pulled down but displayed at the bottom. This is obvious from Apple's status bar, but fortunately this can be changed, and it can be changed to display at the top in the system. (Conflict between the operation and display directions is naturally not a good design)
The overall feeling of the micro gimbal is a little slow in the initial focusing, but overall it is reliable, but you said that the final image quality of the photo is much better It’s hard to say how good it is. After all, even if the micro word is removed, the micro gimbal will improve the anti-shake rather than the image quality. In a rough comparison (non-professional mode), both Samsung s20 and Samsung have the upper hand in photos. Samsung’s Sharp The degree is higher, but in the photos, domestic manufacturers are close to Samsung, which is the leader in Android. I think it is a very gratifying achievement. Progress must be affirmed, but you said it must be every second, so why not stay there if it is cool? . (Big cup versus big cup, it’s fair, right)
You said that the above mentioned are all advantages, so why did you sell it? Spending 800 RMB for three days to experience the machine is an extremely luxurious thing for poor people like me.
To talk about this, we have to start with another thing (why is there so much nonsense?) This thing can be called the system recommendation (advertisement for short) of domestic Android device manufacturers, or it can be said that Domestic Android device manufacturers compete for mobile Internet interfaces. I wasn't aware of this before, but I often see people complaining or discussing this in forums (especially iOS users often say with disdain that Android has ads, so don't use them). I think I learned from htc hero I started using Android, Meizu mx5, then Smartisan T1, then Samsung S7, then Xiaomi mix2, and even tried Meizu’s $1,000 phone S9 (it has side fingerprints and feels good), but I have never encountered any visible system recommendations. and advertising (now I can say that I am actually quite sensitive to this, for reasons that will be discussed later), but everyone agreed that they were definitely not talking nonsense, so I was very confused for a time. Until one day, I took out the Xiaomi mix2 that had been dusted for a long time. After the upgrade, I found that there are really many more things that were not there before. Yes, it is promotion. It is not too exaggerated, because it can be found everywhere you can see it. Then after the Meizu S9 was upgraded, I suddenly understood everyone’s annoyance. This was exaggerated system-level ubiquitous promotion and promotion. I couldn’t tell whether this was a manufacturer’s mobile advertising machine or my mobile phone. The most disturbing thing What I hate is that I can't close everything in the system. I even checked the tutorial on the Internet and closed it all, but I can't close it all because the system does not have this option. Well, Meizu, this once domestic Android manufacturer has a system Goodbye manufacturers whose UI is more pleasing to me, never see them again, I can't afford to offend them.
Back to our topic, vivo s60pro, why did I still buy this machine after knowing the problem mentioned above? Because this is a high-end domestic Android phone priced at 4,499 yuan, I naively thought that within a year, or even two years, I would not encounter the problem of suddenly having a lot of ads in the system. But it turned out that I was still too naive. Two years? Doesn't exist, one year? It didn’t exist. From the very beginning, the system had a large number of system recommendations, various app recommendations, everywhere, everywhere. After closing more than 30 similar recommendations, I first came up with the idea of ??selling my phone. , that day was January 8th, by the way, that was the day I got the mobile phone. The poor display made me calm down for a while, and then I continued to explore the system's optimizable areas (turning off recommendations). In the end, no matter how hard I tried, there were still recommendations after installing the apk or when viewing downloaded content? (I won’t talk about the official store, you all know it) And the last few are really impossible to turn off, and they are quite common operations.
Later, I suddenly thought that Miui has a way to use Teacher Xiao Ai’s voice to turn off advertisements, so I started hi, Jovi, haha, I am really a genius! I didn’t expect Jovi to be quite easy to use, at least I couldn’t tell the difference between it and Siri. Then came, hi, jovi, turn off system recommendations. ~~. Don’t give up, hi jovi, turn off system advertising. ~~, people ignored me at all
In the next three days, I took pictures with my new phone and tried not to think about advertisements and recommendations, because I knew that blue and green The factory's offline channels are cheaper, and you will lose a lot if you sell them. The image quality of the camera is quite satisfactory, but it is not amazing. It is almost the same as my wife’s S20. I have not tried Google Camera, but if it does, it should be improved.
I encountered a slight problem when installing Google Play. It should not be a system or operation problem. Of course, I encountered a problem installing software. Until I decided to sell the phone, I always felt that those systems were recommended. And the ads really stared at me and laughed at me.
Maybe some people will think that I am pretentious, just a mobile phone and an advertisement. Maybe I'm sensitive, but there are two things I particularly can't accept. One is that you put ads on my phone. Is this my phone or the manufacturer's phone? I can tolerate system bugs, but I can also tolerate advertisements. At least give me an option to turn them off. Second, all the recommended Douyin, Kuaishou, Huya, etc. are not what I need. Some people say that advertising provides subsidies, allowing us to buy machines at low prices (is this Xiaomi’s theory?) Then I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Even if you are poor, your ambition is not short-lived. If I can't afford it, I don't have to buy it. And I don't think a mobile phone priced at 4,499 needs such a "subsidy".
I remember what Lao Luo said at the T1 press conference. Today’s Internet companies are making mobile phones, not mobile phones, but Internet interfaces. I believed it at the time, but I know that it is really true now. Understand. For most people, buying a mobile phone is like buying a door, a door leading to the mobile Internet. The question is, whose door belongs to it? The buyer's or the manufacturer's? The scenery you want to see at the door is determined by the manufacturer what you can and cannot see, including what do your users see at first glance? Furthermore, system OTA allows manufacturers to easily control the mobile phone in the hands of users. (Of course, some people will say that installation still requires your consent, but I paid for the storage and you automatically downloaded the huge upgrade file. Did you get my consent? ? Yes, I’m talking about Apple) I don’t think Andy Lubin had this in mind when he started the dangerOS project. Is the mobile phone I paid for a door you can control, and my storage medium a place where you can "send packages" at will? The fear of 1984 prevented me from looking directly at my new mobile phone.
Having said that, doesn’t the Apple I’m using have these problems? Does the OnePlus 6T, which I am quite satisfied with, not have these problems? All of them, none of them were left behind. Only now do I begin to truly understand why a real expert like Richard Stallman doesn’t use a mobile phone, why he hates proprietary software, and why he hates Apple so much. To a certain extent, Apple is the real teacher of many domestic manufacturers in the road of making mobile phones. They follow Apple step by step, figure out Apple, and even copy the wrong answers together. These manufacturers have no talent. Fool? I don't think they are just too smart and know that the market recognizes this trend, so they can save money and make a lot of money. To a certain extent, these "students" have surpassed the teachers when it comes to Internet interfaces. Sometimes I think, maybe I just don’t want to know or see the look in Big Brother’s eyes and continue to deceive myself.
Let’s turn the topic back again, why do I hate these system recommended apps so much? Let’s put it more simply. 1. I don’t need and will never install the Douyin, Kuaishou, Huya, and games you recommend. Why do you recommend them over and over again? It shows that even as a salesman, you are the stupidest type.
2. I am a digital product enthusiast and a collector of handheld devices. To a certain extent, my understanding of digital products is no worse than those of product managers in the industry. Now I want to install software, and you tell me to install it. The person who caught this also pretended to be xxx? Are you teaching me how to use a mobile phone? 3. I am poor, but I could afford a mobile phone before the Internet giants extended their tentacles to mobile phones, such as the Treo650. I don’t need the so-called subsidies that you put on the sheep.
I have to say that the previous two paragraphs are my own personal concepts and feelings about using mobile phones. They are not applicable to the public, especially people who are new to the Internet. My wife knew that I sold mobile phones. After the real reason, she said that you can only make your own mobile phone, but if you make your own mobile phone, it will only lead to bankruptcy. I thought about it and must admit that what she said makes sense. I hopelessly hope that these Internet giants will guide these people who are new to the Internet to a slightly more benevolent door when making mobile phones. They are not all those who take up people's fragmented time and make people lose their thinking. Time, fast food software that loses the ability to think independently.
But I know that my hope will only be ridiculed by capital and users. Why do you teach (make) me use a mobile phone? Thinking about it, that's true, but at least I can still decide which "door" I want to take.
There is a lot of nonsense, but I mean every word from the bottom of my heart. I would like to thank everyone who has read this article in its entirety. Thank you.
