Lenovo S5 Pro: A thousand-yuan phone that subverts old values, with AI quad-cameras that take "idol-level selfies" to a new level

On October 18, Lenovo officially released its new phone, Lenovo S5 Pro. Endorsed by Zhu Yilong, this phone is called "idol-level selfie" and is priced at only 1,298 yuan. Many users don't have too many expectations for the performance and appearance of a thousand-yuan phone, after all, this is the price of an entry-level phone. I have always believed that you get what you pay for, and I thought so at first, but after getting it, I was still amazed by it, and it completely subverted my values.

Notch-style full screen, more enjoyable entertainment experience

Lenovo S5 Pro adopts an all-metal integrated body, and the front FHD+6.2-inch notch-style full-screen design is quite eye-catching. In order to further protect the screen, the designer left a few millimeters of space around the screen frame. The thoughtful design not only improves the appearance and quality of the phone, but also makes the phone safer. If it encounters a slight bump, it will not endanger the screen safety. It earns points for appearance while taking into account safety. At present, the screen of Lenovo S5 Pro is made of LCD material. In actual operation, you will find that it feels comfortable and the touch is very sensitive. There is no shadow of a thousand-yuan mobile phone. Moreover, the resolution of Lenovo S5 Pro can reach 2246*1080. The full screen is matched with high resolution, which can easily control watching movies and games, and the entertainment experience will be more enjoyable.

Next, let's take a look at the back of the phone. The back of the Lenovo S5 Pro uses 205 zirconium sand shot peening technology, which feels smooth and delicate to the touch, without any skin-cutting feeling. Although the material on the back is relatively smooth, you don't feel the insecurity of slipping when you operate it with wet hands, which is amazing.

In order to free up more screen space, the designers placed the fingerprint unlocking function in the upper middle of the back. It also supports face unlocking. The combination of the two unlocking modes can meet different control habits, which is practical and considerate. The upper left corner of the back of the fuselage uses a vertical 2000W+1200W smart dual camera combination. There is a flash light just below the camera, and an antenna strip design just above the camera.

The Lenovo S5 Pro's notch screen uses a 2000W pixel camera + 800W pixel infrared camera combination. Considering the need to be equipped with an earpiece and two camera combinations, the size and width of the notch are relatively moderate overall.

On the left side, the Lenovo S5 Pro is equipped with a SIM card slot and supports dual SIM dual standby function.

On the right side, there are the volume up/down button and the power button of Lenovo S5 Pro. The design of the left and right buttons is in line with the current trend and user control habits. From the side, we can see that the 7mm thickness of Lenovo S5 Pro is relatively thin, and the back of both sides of the body adopts an arc transition design, which makes it very comfortable to operate. There is definitely no problem in playing with one hand.

The bottom of the Lenovo S5 Pro is equipped with a mainstream USB Type-C interface, and is also equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack and a speaker jack combination. If you look carefully, you will find that the bottom openings are neat and beautiful, and even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will feel very comfortable.

Idol-level selfie, more detailed picture quality

The biggest highlight of Lenovo S5 Pro may be its camera function. The front camera uses a 2000W Sony light-sensing camera + 800W pixel infrared camera combination, and the rear camera uses a 2000W + 1200W smart zoom dual-camera combination, which can provide strong performance guarantee for image quality output. And there are wide-angle and telephoto modes to choose from, which can meet the shooting needs of different scenes and achieve four different image quality effects. It is worth noting that among many thousand-yuan-priced mobile phones, Lenovo S5 Pro is the first mobile phone to use Sony's 2x optical zoom camera.

In order to test the photo-taking effect, we took several sample pictures.

I accidentally found an old lady who was setting up a street stall on the roadside. As the weather in Beijing has been gloomy recently, the lighting conditions are not very good, but with the rear 2000W + 1200W dual camera combination, the pictures taken in low light conditions can be clearly seen and the outlines are distinct.

The perfect combination of telephoto lens + wide-angle lens allows for wider shooting.

Even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, colors are rich.

Taken at close range, the texture of the leaves is clearly visible.

With the background blur function, the captured details will be more delicate and natural.

Thousand-yuan top configuration, experience flagship power

You can't expect too much in terms of performance for a phone priced at 1,000 yuan, after all, it is a mid-range phone. Currently, the Lenovo S5 Pro is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor, which is also a common configuration in mid-range phones, such as Redmi Note5 and Meizu E3. In terms of running memory, the Lenovo S5 Pro uses a 6GB+64GB storage structure. It is still enough to meet daily entertainment and gaming needs.

The Lenovo S5 Pro's AnTuTu score exceeds 110,000 points, which is considered top-notch among thousand-yuan phones.

In normal mode, Lenovo S5 Pro AnTuTu monitors the CPU temperature in real time to be around 40°C.

In order to make the game experience more enjoyable, Lenovo S5 Pro is equipped with a game mode. Running the popular mobile game "Chicken Eating" in full frame mode, the game runs relatively smoothly without any lag. As for whether you can eat delicious big plate chicken, performance is naturally not a problem, the rest depends mainly on personal skills.

In terms of battery life, the Lenovo S5 Pro is equipped with a 3500mAh large-capacity battery. If it is used lightly or moderately in daily life, it will have no problem supporting a day's power needs. It also supports QC3.0's 18W fast charging technology. For people on business trips, fast charging technology can provide strong protection for battery life, and there is no need to worry too much about problems such as insufficient power during the trip.

After the stress test, we can see that the battery consumption curve is relatively smooth, about 5%.

The battery temperature is only 33°C, the real-time monitoring value is stable without excessive fluctuations, and the whole device is in good health.

As the flagship phone of Lenovo S series, Lenovo S5 Pro has well continued the brand characteristics of this series in terms of price and performance. In terms of the current thousand-yuan mobile phones in the market, Lenovo S5 Pro has a conscientious configuration level, and the body is well made and has a full sense of quality. It is definitely a good product with great value for money.
