Vivo Z6 is a performance pioneer, bringing 5G mobile phones into the 2,000 yuan range with a quasi-flagship attitude

Since 2018, many mobile phone manufacturers have begun to actively promote the construction of 5G mobile phones. However, two years later, most of the 5G mobile phones we have seen are either too expensive or only focus on 5G networks and are too mediocre in other aspects.

At this moment when there is only the concept of 5G but no mature products that meet the needs of the general public, vivo suddenly launched a 5G mobile phone on its official website - vivo Z6.

Although the launch of vivo Z6 was not a big deal, with its starting price of only 2,298 yuan, it is equipped with a series of high-end configurations such as the Snapdragon 765G dual-mode 5G processor, ultra-clear quad-camera, 5000mAh large battery, 44W ultra-fast flash charging, etc., which has reshaped the entire 5G mobile phone market landscape in one fell swoop.

5G mobile phone for the masses

It is no exaggeration to say that on the eve of 5G commercialization, the birth of vivo Z6 is of great significance not only for the development of smartphones but also for the entire smartphone industry - because it is a cost-effective 5G mobile phone truly built for the public.

Hardware + software dual optimization brings the ultimate 5G experience

The biggest highlight of vivo Z6 is its support for 5G networks. However, compared with traditional 5G mobile phones on the market, vivo Z6 has still made some revolutionary breakthroughs.

First of all, the Snapdragon 765G processor equipped with vivo Z6 supports dual-mode 5G SA/NSA full network access, which avoids the problem that traditional 5G mobile phones only support a single mode and cannot adapt to the network due to the lack of another mode in future network construction.

Secondly, at the software level, in order to allow users to always enjoy fast network, vivo Z6 supports SLA intelligent network acceleration technology, which can double the 5G+Wi-Fi dual-channel network speed. On the other hand, it also carries out targeted HPUE weak scene optimization, whether taking the subway or high-speed rail, it can avoid poor signal.

Extreme screen + fast light and shadow body create a high-value mobile phone

Different from the bulky and rough design language of traditional 5G mobile phones, the vivo Z6 continues vivo's consistent high aesthetics in appearance.

On the front, the vivo Z6 is equipped with a 6.57-inch ultra-small aperture polar screen, and the front camera hole is only 3.85mm, which makes the screen-to-body ratio of the vivo Z6 reach an astonishing 90.74%. After turning on the screen, whether playing games or watching videos, we can feel the sci-fi feeling that the display content brought by the high screen-to-body ratio of the vivo Z6 is about to overflow.

On the back of the body, the vivo Z6 adopts a 3D four-curved surface design to create a grip that fits the palm of the hand extremely well. On the other hand, it uses nano-level precision carving technology to create multi-angle 3D cross-sections, which makes the body present different beauty under different light.

5000mAh large battery + 44W ultra-fast flash charging, no more worrying about running out of power

Due to the support of 5G network, the power consumption of 5G mobile phones will inevitably increase. In order to prevent consumers from having power panic when using 5G mobile phones, vivo Z6 has made efforts in two aspects - on the one hand, increasing the battery and on the other hand, increasing the charging power.

According to vivo, the vivo Z6 is equipped with a 5000mAh large-capacity battery, which is top-notch not only in the current 5G mobile phones, but also in the entire mobile phone market. In addition, at the software level, the vivo Z6 has also added power-saving engine technology, which can intelligently allocate 5G networks and increase battery life by up to 35%. Of course, when you are out and about, it is inevitable that you will run out of battery power. Therefore, the vivo Z6 also supports 44W ultra-fast flash charging - it can be charged to 70% in just 35 minutes and fully charged in 65 minutes.

Four-camera imaging system, clear pictures of people and objects

In the era of universal photography, the quality of a mobile phone's photos is becoming an increasingly important factor in whether consumers choose it or not.

The vivo Z6 is equipped with the popular 48-megapixel ultra-clear main camera + 8-megapixel wide-angle + 2-megapixel ultra-macro + 2-megapixel independent portrait depth of field quad-camera combination. It also supports professional functions such as Super Night Scene 2.0, Hyper HDR and RAW format output. Even a photography novice can easily take professional blockbusters with the vivo Z6.

Overall, after joining the "5G" network, the vivo Z6 did not stop, but continued to work hard in two aspects. One is to continue to deepen the 5G experience, because the 5G network is an emerging species after all, and only continuous optimization can bring the best experience to consumers. On the other hand, considering that mobile phones are a comprehensive art, a mobile phone with only one strength is like a wooden barrel with only one long board, which is destined to "hold little water". Therefore, while deeply optimizing the 5G network, the vivo Z6 has also deeply optimized the appearance, battery life, and photography. Therefore, we have seen this veritable "5G performance pioneer".

vivo refreshes 5G phone concept

Although vivo did not hold a special press conference for vivo Z6, the birth of vivo Z6 has extremely important reference significance for the entire mobile phone industry.

First of all, from the manufacturer's perspective, there is a certain inevitability behind vivo's ability to launch such products, and this inevitability is what most manufacturers need to learn - that is, although vivo has always given people the impression of being "marketing-heavy", in fact, vivo has always been a "technology"-driven company.

For example, as mobile phones enter the era of full-screen phones, the previously mature front-mounted fingerprint recognition has nowhere to go. As early as June 2017, vivo showed the world the screen fingerprint phone for the first time. Since then, under the leadership of vivo, screen fingerprint has begun to become a standard feature of many mobile phones.

Vivo has not slacked off in the recent 5G network technology.

As early as 2012, vivo actively participated in the research and formulation of the 5G white paper. In 2016, vivo actively promoted the formulation of 3GPP 5G standards and continued to work on the technical level, applying for more than 2,000 5G invention patents that year. In 2019, the number of vivo's proposals in 3GPP has exceeded 2,700, ranking among the top domestic mobile terminal companies.

Driven by these cutting-edge technologies, in August 2019, vivo released a 5G mobile phone, iQOO Pro, which was priced at only 3,798 yuan. You should know that at that time, the lowest price of 5G mobile phones was around 5,000 yuan - this further highlights vivo's far-reaching planning in 5G smartphone technology.

Mature and reasonably priced 5G mobile phones will inevitably attract widespread attention in the market. IDC data shows that in the third quarter of 2019, vivo accounted for 54.3% of the market share in China's 5G smartphone market, ranking first.

Vivo, which has achieved a high market share, is not complacent, but is further developing its 5G product line. As of now, Vivo already has 5G mobile phones ranging from 2K to 5K, and may bring 1K 5G mobile phones to consumers in the future. Therefore, Vivo's construction in the 5G field will have three impacts on the entire mobile phone industry.

First, it lowers the average selling price of 5G phones. Since vivo has a strong advantage in 5G technology, it can always launch more cost-effective 5G phones before other manufacturers launch low-priced phones, which will in turn affect other manufacturers. For example, after the iQOO Pro, which was priced at only 3,000 yuan, was launched in August 2019, Xiaomi also launched the Xiaomi 9S with a similar price.

Second, it is conducive to the industry to launch standardized 5G products. Although Xiaomi launched the benchmark product Xiaomi 9S after the release of iQOO Pro, unfortunately, Xiaomi 9S is not comparable to iQOO Pro in terms of performance and power consumption. Therefore, after Xiaomi launched the more mature Xiaomi 9 Pro 5G, Xiaomi put Xiaomi 9S into the cold palace, while iQOO Pro is still strong.

Third, it will help the prosperity of the 5G mobile phone ecosystem. The development of 5G mobile phones is inseparable from the construction of the ecosystem, and the low market acceptance will obviously restrict the development of the 5G ecosystem. On the other hand, vivo launched cost-effective mobile phones represented by vivo Z6. On the one hand, in addition to putting pressure on friendly companies, on the other hand, it will obviously stimulate the 5G mobile phone market and allow the general public to use 5G mobile phones. This also plays a very important role in promoting the overall prosperity of the 5G mobile phone ecosystem.

Overall, although the vivo Z6 is not a flagship phone, vivo still injected the concept of "flagship level" into it, which makes the vivo Z6 have a very unique position on the eve of 5G commercial use. On this basis, we have also seen vivo's deep exploration of technology and its forward-looking vision in product line layout. As vivo works harder in the 5G field, its influence on the 5G mobile phone industry will become greater and greater.
