Oriental Aesthetics

Renewed Interpretation

Since the S16,the vivo S series has been committed to conveying traditional aesthetic expressions with technological innovation,creatively introducing several eye-catching designs.This time,the vivo S19 introduces three color options: "Misty Rain Cyan," "Peach Blossom Fan," and "Pine Smoke Ink." Among them,Misty Rain Cyan is a white that resembles the color of white porcelain with a few strokes of celadon,warm and pure,with a glass material that simulates the transparency of glaze,highlighting a refined temperament; "Peach Blossom Fan" takes the color of peach blossoms,complemented by a unique silk fan pattern,as if light and shadow are dancing on the back panel,showing a sweet and vivid atmosphere; "Pine Smoke Ink" is a deep black,as mysterious as the boundless night,with a black glass back panel that has a fine and glossy color,exuding an air of grandeur.

The S19 color we have in hand is Misty Rain Cyan,with a delicate and smooth feel.The eye-catching camera module adopts a "Sunrise Cloud Stage" design,with jewelry-grade cutting craftsmanship embedding a layer of fine metal decoration around the circular glass.On the front,you can see that the S19 has returned to a flat screen design,with a screen length of 163.6mm and a width of 75.68mm,and the side bezel is only 1.54mm,providing a better viewing experience.The thickness of the body is 7.19mm,and the frame has a slight curve,coupled with an overall weight of only 193g,which fits the palm very well,feels comfortable to hold,and does not feel heavy.

Universal Performance

Ultimate EnduranceThe vivo S19 is powered by the third-generation Snapdragon 7 processor,which utilizes TSMC's new 4nm process technology and a design featuring 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.Compared to the first-generation Snapdragon 7,the performance (including AI capabilities) has been significantly enhanced while power consumption has been reduced.The vivo S19 achieved a score of 943,619 in the AnTuTu benchmark,with a single-core score of 1,222 and a multi-core score of 3,389 on Geekbench.To test real-world performance,we launched the game Genshin Impact,set it to the highest graphics quality,and ran it at 60fps.After running around the Fontaine map for 30 minutes,PerfDog measured an average frame rate of 45.4fps,with the highest temperature on the back of the device reaching 39.4°C,demonstrating a stable performance.

Speaking of performance,the vivo S19's exceptional battery life cannot be overlooked.As the thinnest model released in 2024,it has a body thickness of only 7.19mm.Despite its slim profile,it houses a large 6000mAh battery,setting a new industry record.It uses the second-generation silicon-carbon anode material,with a battery energy density exceeding 809Wh/L.Coupled with the Blue Ocean endurance system's full-link optimization,the vivo S19's battery life is impressive.Starting to charge with only 1% battery life remaining and enabling fast charging mode,the vivo S19 can reach 18% in 10 minutes and be fully charged in 53 minutes with the back of the phone staying around 36°C.

In simulated daily usage scenarios,shooting a 30-second time-lapse video indoors (which actually takes 30 minutes to record) results in a 4% battery drop; watching short videos on TikTok with the volume set at 30% and the brightness at maximum for 30 minutes consumes 4% of the battery; watching a 1-hour video on Bilibili consumes 9% of the battery; playing a 10-minute session of Honor of Kings with high-definition graphics,maximum frame rate,and resolution consumes 3% of the battery; and browsing shopping apps for 30 minutes consumes 3% of the battery.After over two hours of continuous high-intensity use at an ambient temperature of 24°C,the back of the phone hardly heats up.Such endurance is a great temptation for heavy mobile users,especially young people,and it provides a full sense of security,eliminating the need for daily charging.

In terms of photography,the vivo S19 features a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle front camera with a 1/2.76-inch JN1 sensor that supports AF autofocus.The rear camera is a 50-megapixel main camera with a 1/1.56-inch Samsung GNJ sensor that supports OIS optical image stabilization.Additionally,there is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with a 1/4-inch OV08D10 sensor and an aperture of f/2.2.

In actual shooting,the main camera has ample light intake.Under cloudy conditions,the colors and details of plants captured by the main camera are well-preserved and close to what the naked eye sees,with natural bokeh edges.In portrait mode under natural light,the skin texture is delicate,the skin tone is natural,and the background bokeh is also well-executed.At night or in indoor environments,with the rear soft ring light turned on,the photos taken after light compensation are more three-dimensional with soft transitions of light and shadow.The front camera in portrait mode can also correct facial shapes,solving the embarrassment of distorted faces and mouths in group selfies.Lastly,the wide-angle camera captures smooth architectural lines without exaggerated distortion at the edges,making it suitable for shooting large scenes or creative photography.Of course,the high enjoyability of photos is inseparable from excellent screen display,and the vivo S19 perfectly meets this condition.The 6.78-inch 1.5k screen has a global stimulated brightness of up to 1200nit,with a local peak brightness reaching 4500nit.It also supports the P3 color gamut and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.Under such display conditions,not only can you see a clear screen in sunlight,but it also brings out more details in the captured photos,achieving a more realistic visual effect.

AI Empowerment

Experience Upgrade

The biggest highlight of the vivo S19 in terms of overall experience is the integration of the Blue Core large model,which elevates the AI experience to a flagship level.As a phone targeted at young people,its AI features are also more fun and youthful.The common AI removal is very convenient to use,and after multiple different removals,you can get a picture that almost shows no signs of removal.In addition,the S19 has introduced features such as real-time voice-to-text (for phone calls,conference calls,and online classes),AI real-time summary,AI digital portrait,and dopamine film frame,which are not only productivity tools to improve efficiency but also aesthetic entertainment tools to enhance user aesthetics,perfectly meeting the diverse needs of the young user group.

In addition to the software experience,the vivo S19 also strives to respond to everyone's calls in terms of hardware,supporting infrared remote control,IP64-level water resistance,and ambient light sensors,providing users with comprehensive convenience support and privacy protection.

In conclusion,the vivo S19 continues its consistent approach,bringing users a more stunning aesthetic experience,including appearance and internal functional services.However,there is a change this time,which is the addition of more technological elements,such as AI integration into the phone,providing users with more intelligent services.Overall,for consumers who like to take photos and have higher endurance requirements,the vivo S19,starting at 2499 yuan,is worth considering.
