Different from the hit color design, The gradual design of OPPO R15 will not find a clear border. It is like the sky that falls on nightfall. It appears mysterious and imaginative in the deep visual space and the light transmission.

In Karim's design philosophy, there is no solid color in nature: 'Solid' color does not exist in nature, we see that objects existing in nature are all composed of different colors, and the gradient color is actually very The existence of nature, the real world should not be monotonous.

The 2280×1080 screen brings a more immersive visual experience, but the special shaped screen design at the top also brings about the problem of APP adaptation. Then the OPPO R15 solves the problems commonly encountered in this industry. What about the program?

Full screen gestures

OPPO R15 is loaded with its own ColorOS 5.0 system, based on Android 8.1 depth optimization. Compared to the changes in the operating interface, ColorOS 5.0 is more targeted OPPO R15's shaped screen is optimized. After all, while looking better, how to use it better is also the core of the user's consideration.

ColorOS 5.0 system is OPPO R15 brings a whole new gesture operation. When the desktop slides down and the leftmost page slides to the right, it can open quick search and sticky notes respectively. The search bar also provides related search information and APP application information according to the user's search habits. Informational information. The post-it notes provide daily functions such as weather, step count, courier, schedule, etc., which are also very easy to use.

OPPO R15 replaces the virtual buttons with a slide gesture. Of course, the user can also switch back. Because the screen space is not occupied, the slide-up gesture can obtain the maximum display effect. The upper-slip phone also has a variety of solutions to adapt to the habits of different users. .

However, the need for Tucao is that the task management and shortcuts of the OPPO R15 are separate, and one is to slide open from the bottom, and the other is to pull down from the top. At this time, it must be operated with both hands, and it is rather awkward to use.

Full screen multitasking

In addition to operational changes, OPPO R15 has also been optimized for full-screen multi-tasking. For different multi-tasks, the OPPO R15 utilizes the top area of the special-shaped screen. In the landscape mode, the top will display 3 frequently-used APPs and 3 frequently-used screens. When operating, playing games or watching videos, you can quickly complete the operation without exiting.

▲ screen capture, recording screen can also be opened with a key

At present, full-screen multitasking cannot be defined by itself. The feedback information provided by OPPO, this setting is based on massive user survey. According to the survey data, more users need a temporary dual application to open in horizontal screen entertainment, where the biggest demand is the WeChat, QQ random use of these For stronger applications, the most demanding function of the system is screen capture/recording, masking notification, etc.

Unify the specification and solve the problem of adapting the shaped screen APP

For the problem of adapting to difficult-to-specify full-screen APPs, OPPO has developed a set of specifications. With this set of specifications, the OPPO team has prioritized the adaptation of pre-applications for mobile phones, and also targeted at the 300 APPs with the most demand for 90% of users. Adaptation. Of course, the adaptation work will continue. As for the relatively unpopular applications, OPPO told Xiaobian to disclose the detailed rules document on how to adapt the abnormality screen to the developers, together with the developers to promote the APP. Adaptation work.

▲Taobao, Ctrip, U.S. and other popular apps have been adapted

The performance of the same APP is not the same. The perfect degree of adaptation depends on the strength of the APP development team. Like Taobao and Ctrip, the above diagrams have been adapted to the full screen of the OPPO R15. However, the Taobao page has expanded to the top of the screen. , to achieve an immersive experience. And Ctrip is only fully use the picture, the top area does not have a corresponding design, visually there are still some differences.

Starting Sony IMX519

After customizing the IMX398 sensor with Sony, OPPO and Sony jointly developed the IMX519 sensor. The OPPO R15 also changed from a 1600+200 million dual camera solution of R11/R11s to a dual camera solution of 16 million+ ranging cameras. The OPPO's confidence in the new sensor can be expressed in another direction.

▲ F1.7 large aperture + large pixel area, night confidence greatly increased

Compared to the IMX 398, the Sony IMX519 sensor area increased to 1/2.6 inch, a single pixel area increased from 1.12 to 1.22, increased by 8.9%, the photosensitive area is larger, dark light shooting brighter; while the photo sample rate is increased by 30 frames Up to 60 frames, the speed of dynamic photography has also become faster.

OPPO R15 has upgraded intelligent scene recognition, can implement 120 scene detections, and classify with 16 labels, and match different imaging optimization schemes. Such as indoor + portrait, outdoor + landscape, restaurant + cuisine, etc. Automatic detection is performed. What the user needs to do is press the camera button. It can be said to be a smart fool-like camera experience.

From the real shot experience, OPPO R15 is the most impressive for Xiao Bian. First of all, it is the performance of imaging details. Although the weather is cloudy, OPPO R15 compensates the light well and is closer to the real picture of the scene. For example, the photo of the following flower, OPPO R15's photographs did not blindly increase the brightness and saturation of the photos, but fully accounted for the transition between the highlights and the shadows. The overall details of the subject were fully reflected.

For backlighting, the OPPO R15 incorporates 3-HDR real-time pixel-level exposure technology at the pixel level. It uses different exposures between each sub-pixel in one pixel of RGBG. The following picture shows the proof of the automatic HDR mode. In particular, the details in the dark are preserved.

3-HDR real-time grading exposure technology seems equally effective at night shooting, This photo is still a small series of specially tried, many mobile phones either appear normal exposure sign dark, or the normal signs at the normal highlights overflow. We can pay attention to the bright location of several house signs and lanterns in this picture. OPPO R15 keeps the whole picture bright and the signboard has no overexposure.

Meal time is already at night, the light is completely the restaurant's own light, slightly dizzy. OPPO R15 also recognizes that this is a food scene, but the overall optimization is still a little bit bright. What can I say? food The photograph did not make a tempting impression and needs further optimization.

White balance control, OPPO R15 also tends to compare the true natural restoration style. As for the noise control, it is also a remarkable optimization. Even in a weak light environment, no obvious noise will appear, which will affect the picture quality.

▲ Indoor low-light and dark light contrast, noise control and sharpness are satisfactory

Not only more beautiful, more portraits to take pictures

In addition to the improvement of the basic picture quality, the OPPO R15 has also improved portrait photography. According to official data, the OPPO R15 increased facial features from 254 to 296, allowing more accurate recognition of facial features. The recognition and beautification function, through the accurate recognition of the pupil, add pupils to the pupil line, pupil reflector, tears and so on.

PS: Catch Before the evaluation came out, I looked at the sky and made some pictures. I found that after the OPPO R15 did recognize the different lighting scenes, it optimized the photos according to the scene environment. For example, the photos taken yesterday evening, the overall environment. Darker, OPPO R15 will not force the brightness of the photo. When the weather is good, it will pay attention to the picture but not the exposure, so that the details of the picture get the best performance.

Performance and life

There are two configuration versions of the OPPO R15. This evaluation uses the MediaTek P60 eight-core processor version, which comes standard with 6+128GB of memory and storage space. This is why MediaTek appears on OPPO's main model for a long time. In fact, OPPO and MediaTek's portfolio has had many excellent performances, and this one is no exception. Nearly 140,000 Ann Bunny scores have reached or exceeded the level of the Xiaolong 660 platform.

In the actual gaming experience, equipped with P60 The OPPO R15 performed equally well. Under the impetus of the game engine, there was no pressure on the King High Glory's full HD picture quality and high frame rate. Even when playing regimental warfare spells were full of screens, there was no Caton.

What's more interesting is that when the “Jade to survive: Stimulate the battlefield” is turned on, the system defaults to high-definition picture quality. Before that, the Snapdragon 660+6GB memory model in the hands only had the balanced quality by default (of course, it was not transferred to HD. Problem). The actual experience of fluency is also very sufficient.

Battery life, OPPO R15 built-in 3450mAh battery (Dream mirror version is 3400mAh), in this thickness of mobile phones, the battery capacity is enough sincerity. Measured to the game as a reference, 50% of the brightness of the connection WIFI running under the conditions of 30 minutes King Glory and <<Jedi Survival: Stimulating the Battlefield ”, Which consumes 15% and 13%, respectively. Although the game engine is turned on by default, this power consumption is still a little bit too fast.

Edit Comment

In the previous OPPO R15 official appearance of the “gradual change” media meeting, change, change is the main theme of the OPPO in 2018. Today in the cell phone market changes, find a breakthrough through change, is undoubtedly an active signal.

The change of OPPO R15 is from the outside to the inside, a kind of comprehensive change, which brings a different sense of freshness. There are different, that is, OPPO R15 listens to the voice of the user, but also seeks a higher level from the master. While continuing to satisfy the needs of users, it also gives users constant innovation in their aesthetics, values, and perhaps more considerations for the sublimation of the brand's viscosity.

In addition to some system experiences to be optimized, I believe that everyone will feel the sincerity of this change after getting started with OPPO R15. Whether it is a gradient color design that pursues color tension, or a standard 6+128 hardware configuration, or a personalized one. Smart photo experience, OPPO R15 gives users a space to explore, taste.
