A brief introduction to the vivo S19 Pro's imaging hardware, the main camera uses the new 50-megapixel IMX921 sensor, 1/1.56-inch base and F1.88 aperture, as well as self-developed human eye bionic technology and OIS super anti-shake.

The surprises don't stop there, the Vivo S19 Pro also has a major upgrade to this soft ring, which Vivo has named the “Studio Zoom Soft Ring”. It has changed from a large ring to a small ring, but with the industry's first LCD dimming system, it can realize the effect of “zoom”. The soft light is wider and softer when shooting close-ups, and focuses the light to bring up to 3 times the brightness when shooting distant landscapes, making even 100mm telephoto portraits bright and clear.

Another highlight is the S19 series' Portrait Styling Lighting. Before shooting, the soft light will be on at a low level, and when everything is ready and the shutter is pressed, the soft light will turn on at a high level to supplement the light to complete the shot. The advantage of this feature is that you can preview the light effect and adjust it in real time before shooting, and for the model, it can also avoid eye irritation due to prolonged staring at the bright light, which improves the shooting experience for both parties.

Another new presentation of oriental aesthetics
From the S16's jade-like face to the S17's mountain and sea green, to the S18's flower-like brocade, the vivo S series has gone through three generations of oriental aesthetic design, presenting these flavors with technology, and accomplishing the modern expression of traditional imagery.
This time, the vivo S19 Pro comes in three colors: “Smoke and Rain Green”, “Thousand Mountains Jade” and “Sword Shadow Gray”. The main color “Smoke and Rain Green” is white with an ink and rain texture, just like an ink brush outlining the combination of real and imaginary lines on the back cover, its hazy beauty gives people endless space for imagination. There is also a new brightening process, which gives it a glazed texture.
The lens module also adopts a new design. With the sunrise in the east as the source of inspiration, Vivo S19 Pro brings the “Sunrise Cloud Step Mirror Group” design, which is just like the sunrise and the long projection under the sea. In detail, there is also a ring of metal light band around the circular glass above, emphasizing the three-dimensionality of the lens module.
The front of the vivo S19 Pro is equipped with a 6.78-inch version of the 1.5K 120 Hz eye-protecting screen, with a resolution of 2800x1260. The screen supports P3 wide color gamut and 1 billion colors, with a global maximum brightness of 1200nit, and full-scene eye protection to give you more comprehensive eye protection.
The Vivo S19 Pro's body thickness is only 7.58mm, but with the high-strength glass process, the body is 150% more resistant to drops. There is also a rock-resistant structure with a higher-than-screen-glass border and a width-enhanced inner frame support structure, which realizes all-around anti-drop protection, making it more reliable to use.
Flagship experience
Battery life is a major highlight of the vivo S19 Pro experience, as mentioned earlier, the thickness of the S19 Pro body is only 7.58mm, but there is a 6000mAh Blue Ocean battery hidden inside. This battery uses a new second-generation silicon-carbon anode material, higher energy density can be in a smaller volume to enhance the battery capacity; there is also the industry's thinnest motherboard bracket, the achievement of this thin and light and have a large power vivo S19 Pro.

From this result, it seems that the game power consumption performance of Vivo S19 Pro is very good, but microblogging browsing, jittery voice playback and other daily use scenarios will be on the high side of the power consumption, which needs to be paid attention to.
