  Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress: "After long-term efforts, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, which is a new historical orientation for China’s development." How to understand and grasp the new historical orientation of China’s development? The Economic Daily China Economic Net reporter interviewed Yang Shengqun, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the Chinese Communist Party Literature Research Association.

  Entering a new era is based on objective fact judgment.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era based on the judgment of objective facts. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, promoting the overall layout of "five in one" and coordinating the work of "four comprehensive" strategic layout have become many major events that we wanted to do in the past but failed to do, and promoted historic changes in the cause of the party and the state.

  Reporter: What is the basis for this major judgment in the report of the 19th National Congress?

  Yang Shengqun: The Supreme Leader pointed out that Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s entry into a new era means that the Chinese nation, which has suffered a lot in modern times, has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, and has ushered in a bright prospect of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is a new conclusion about the historical orientation of China’s development and the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which brilliantly summarizes and scientifically calibrates the new historical orientation of China’s development and has far-reaching strategic significance.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era based on the judgment of objective facts. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, our Party has United and led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to make unremitting efforts, pushing China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength and comprehensive national strength to the forefront of the world, and promoting China’s international status to an unprecedented level. The face of the Party, the face of the country, the face of the people, the face of the army and the face of the Chinese nation have undergone unprecedented changes. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has taken the baton of history, promoted the overall layout of "five in one" as a whole, coordinated and promoted the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies with great political courage and strong responsibility, promulgated a series of major principles and policies, launched a series of major initiatives, promoted a series of major tasks, and solved many problems that had been wanted to be solved for a long time. It is on this basis that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.

  Comrade Supreme Leader’s new judgment on the historical orientation of China’s development and the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation profoundly reveals Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s decisive significance for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. From standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong, China can achieve this great leap, in the final analysis, because it chose the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The great leap from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong has made the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation stand at a new historical starting point and opened a new chapter in upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  Change and constancy are that basic basi for planning the future.

  On the whole, the level of social productive forces in China has improved significantly, and the social productive capacity has entered the forefront of the world in many aspects. The more prominent problem is that the development imbalance is insufficient; Our judgment on the historical stage of China’s socialism has not changed. The basic national conditions that China is still in the primary stage of socialism for a long time have not changed. China’s international status as the largest developing country in the world has not changed.

  Reporter: The report of the 19 th National Congress pointed out that "Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development." How should we understand and grasp the transformation of major social contradictions?

  Yang Shengqun: This judgment is a new scientific judgment made by the supreme leader comrades on the major social contradictions in Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era by using dialectical materialism and historical materialism. China has steadily solved the problem of food and clothing for more than one billion people, achieved a well-off society on the whole, and will soon build a well-off society in an all-round way. The people’s needs for a better life are increasingly extensive, which not only puts forward higher requirements for material and cultural life, but also grows in terms of democracy, rule of law, fairness, justice, security and environment. At the same time, the level of China’s social productive forces has improved significantly on the whole, and the social productive forces have entered the forefront of the world in many aspects. The more prominent problem is the insufficient development imbalance, which has become the main constraint to meet the people’s growing needs for a better life.

  From now until 2020, it is the decisive period for building a well-off society in an all-round way. We should closely follow the changes of major social contradictions in our country, make overall plans to promote economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, firmly implement the strategies of rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talents, innovation-driven development, rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, sustainable development and integration of defense and civilian technologies development, highlight key points, make up shortcomings and strengths, and in particular, resolutely fight hard to prevent and resolve major risks, get rid of poverty accurately and prevent pollution.

  Reporter: How to understand the changing and unchanging national conditions of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era?

  Yang Shengqun: The new era contains profound "change" and "unchanged". "Change" means that the main contradiction in our society has changed from "the contradiction between people’s growing material and cultural needs and backward social production" to "the contradiction between people’s growing need for a better life and unbalanced development". "No change" means that our judgment on the historical stage of socialism in China has not changed, our basic national conditions that China is still in the primary stage of socialism and its international status as the largest developing country in the world has not changed.

  The "change" and "unchanged" in the new era are the basic basis for us to plan our future development. It must be recognized that the change of the principal contradiction in our society is a historical change that has a bearing on the overall situation and puts forward many new requirements for the work of the party and the state. This judgment requires us to firmly grasp the basic national conditions of the primary stage of socialism, firmly base ourselves on the greatest reality of the primary stage of socialism, firmly adhere to the party’s basic line, the lifeline of the party and the country, and the happiness line of the people, lead and unite the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, take economic construction as the center, adhere to the four cardinal principles, persist in reform and opening up, self-reliance, and work hard to build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power. On the other hand, on the basis of continuing to promote development, we are required to solve the problem of insufficient development imbalance, vigorously improve the quality and efficiency of development, better meet the growing needs of the people in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological aspects, and better promote the all-round development of people and social progress.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a scientific socialism rooted in the land of China, reflecting the wishes of China people and adapting to the development and progress of China and the times.

  Reporter: How to uphold and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era?

  Yang Shengqun: Based on a new historical starting point and with an eye to achieving the goal of "two hundred years" and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Supreme Leader has made a new layout for upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great article and put forward an overall, strategic and forward-looking action program. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a constantly developing and advancing cause, just like a masterpiece, which needs to be written by generations.

  Continue to write a good article on upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and lead the whole article with the theme of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Comrade Supreme Leader emphasized that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has been the theme of all the Party’s theories and practices since the reform and opening up, and the whole Party should more consciously enhance Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence. The theme of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental achievement of the Party and the people who have gone through hardships and paid a huge price, and it is also the fundamental summary of the practice of reform and opening up in the past 40 years. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a scientific socialism rooted in the land of China, reflecting the wishes of China people and adapting to the development and progress of China and the times.

  In contemporary China, adhering to the theme of Socialism with Chinese characteristics means adhering to the political direction of socialism, and the connotation of this theme is constantly enriched and developed. As pointed out by the Supreme Leader, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has made arduous theoretical explorations, made great theoretical innovations, and formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The formation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era is of great and far-reaching significance, adding new and important contents to Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s theoretical system, and it is the action guide for the whole party and people to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  The cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the great cause of the Chinese nation’s rejuvenation need the historical responsibility of generation after generation. Leading cadres at all levels should strengthen their sense of responsibility, take the responsibility of promoting reform, development and stability with iron shoulders, take the responsibility of strictly administering the party in an all-round way, and truly be responsible, responsible and conscientious. At present, the reform has reached a critical stage, so we should dare to face difficulties, overcome difficulties and carry out the reform to the end; Poverty alleviation has reached a critical stage. We must face up to difficulties, dare to bite hard bones, and resolutely win the tough battle of precision poverty alleviation. Every Communist party member should actively share his worries for the party and do his duty for the people in his post, and promote the formation of a new fashion of thinking, daring and being able to do in the whole party.

BBC sends fake news to discredit China vaccine.

  Gao Fu, director of China CDC, said in an interview with Global Times on the 11th that his introduction of vaccines at last Saturday’s press conference was deliberately misinterpreted by some foreign media. What he provided was an idea to improve the efficiency of vaccines, but it was maliciously interpreted as the low efficiency of vaccines in China. Gao Fu said: "The test data of vaccine protection rate in the world are both high and low. How to improve the vaccine protection rate is a problem that needs to be considered by scientists all over the world."

  Even though the parties have publicly refuted the rumor, the BBC continued to spread false information on its news official website on the morning of 12th, with the title "China officials say domestic vaccines are inefficient". According to the BBC, China has developed four COVID-19 vaccines, some of which have been tested abroad, and the effective rate is only 50%. According to the BBC, China once said that it would be easier for foreigners to obtain Chinese visas as long as they were vaccinated in China.

  The BBC also admitted in the report that the qualified standard of vaccine formulated by the World Health Organization is that the effective rate is above 50%, and the effective rate of China vaccine in the final test in Turkey and Indonesia is between 91% and 65%. The effective rate of AstraZeneca vaccine developed in Britain is 76%. At present, China vaccine has been exported to Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan in Asia, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador in the Americas, and large orders have been booked in Europe, Turkey and Ukraine. In Africa, China vaccine has been used in Zimbabwe, Somalia, Djibouti, Benin and Tunisia.

On the surface, whether the actual performance can bear the name of "audio-visual flagship", we also try to experience the performance of vivo Xplay from every detail.

Small body, oversized screen.

The big screen is already an irresistible trend of intelligence this year-the fact is that when we compare the parameter of "screen ratio" below, we searched the ZOL mobile phone product library by the way, and there are alreadyUp to 241 modelsThe released and upcoming models use and above screens. This vivo is the bigger among the ranks; Not counting those phone tablets, or larger models, there should be no more than 10 models now.

5. Screen on the front.

The meaning of 2.3mm "narrow border"

However, the large screen of vivo is still very space-saving-the so-called space-saving means to make the "screen visible area" as large as possible while keeping the "body size" as small as possible, that is, narrow borders are used to achieve the goal. The news from the press conference is that the frame of vivo is 2.3mm, and the screen ratio reaches 75.11%.

Comprehensive evaluation of well-deserved audio-visual flagship vivo Xplay
The narrow border ensures that the screen is as large as possible and the body is as small as possible.

In order to verify this statement, we found several models with 5.7-inch screens in ZOL product library to compare their body sizes. It is intuitive to see that vivo is the smallest among 5.7-inch models regardless of height, width and thickness. It is also the only model with 1080p full HD resolution and the largest battery capacity.

The top of the screen of vivo is designed as a conventional earpiece, with LED indicator lights and light/distance sensors on both sides; A 5-megapixel front camera with an 88-degree wide angle is placed in the upper right corner. The design of large wide angle is very popular nowadays, especially for female users who like to take selfies with several people. The adoption of large wide angle can easily let more people fit into the lens.

Double speakers with stainless steel metal shell

Like last year’s vivo X1, vivo still adopts a three-stage back shape; However, due to the increase in the size of the fuselage, it is obviously larger and thicker than the vivo X1. The corners are not as ultra-thin as the vivo X1, but are covered with thick and steady edges. The stainless steel back shell in the middle section feels good, and the paint coating process makes it smoother than the slightly astringent feel of the iPhone5, which is somewhat similar to the metal feel on the MacBook or One. Both sides of the stainless steel shell are made of plastic, and the design of double speakers ensures a good external effect.

A 13-megapixel camera is placed at the joint between the stainless steel shell and the plastic component above, and the noise-reducing mic and LED flash are below; The logo of vivo is embedded in the stainless steel shell, which is also quite graded. On the left side of the fuselage, there is only the pin slot of the microSIM card, and on the right side, there are metal buttons.

Although the design is not too amazing, vivo is still excellent in terms of body material and workmanship; The stainless steel shell and paint coating on the back feel comfortable; Due to the narrow bezel design, the 5.7-inch screen is not as exaggerated as other products of the same size. There is nothing too prominent in the front panel design.

 

Display effect with rich layers and large visual angle

The screen of vivo uses LTPS (Low temperature polysilicon material) -TFT-LCD, the former is also used in 5, and at the same time, it is also used.IPS technology; For the time being, we will understand the screen effect of vivo from the actual viewing experience-of course, the actual demand is just that.

Vivo Xplay evaluation
Screen display effect experience

So we still use the iPhone 5 with excellent screen quality as a comparison, to take a real picture of solid color and multi-color contrast, as well as the final multi-angle visual angle comparison; The first is the comparison of the display effects of pure white and red, blue and green primary colors.

The pure color images of the two are almost the same, and there is almost no color deviation. The only difference is that the vivo will look a little rich in color but the gap is very small. Compared with the pure white picture, vivo is slightly reddish.

If you watch it carefully, the 1080p screen is indeed dominant in the actual picture display. Because the increase in the number of pixels will inevitably show more details and color levels, which is far from the small screen of iPhone5. In the comparison of portrait pictures, the saturation of vivo is higher.

From the visual angle comparison, the brightness of vivo is slightly weakened under the diagonal angle of view, and the front and side angles are still similar, and it can even be said that vivo has a slight advantage in brightness. On the whole, each has its own merits; For more and more audio and video usage scenarios, the big screen obviously has incomparable visual effects for iPhone, and 1080p is also a very good choice if you don’t care about the pressure and cost on system performance.

 

Use the small screen to control the big screen.

The system interface of vivo is still very different from the previous vivo X1. Emphasis on the use of highlights and emphasis on technology in color and texture. The screen lock interface is a practical combination of dynamic weather and camera. Let’s still use a video to understand the operation mode.



Video small screen mode and screen locking operation

Small screen mode that is more versatile than one-handed mode.

At first glance, the most special system interface of vivo should be "small screen mode". We also see that many large-screen machines have built-in "one-hand mode", but it is only suitable for telephone messages and other content. The "small screen mode" of vivo is aimed at the overall situation, and it is completely a scaled-down interface, which interfaces with a large-scale complete system.Mode of operationandDisplay contentComplete synchronization.

Of course, there is still a simple "one-handed mode" in vivo, which can only be used in the keyboard and dialing interface for texting.

Small screen mode versus simple one-handed mode

Moreover, the size of the "small screen mode" can be adjusted. Of course, I still suggest that you adjust it to the maximum size of 3.5 inches, which is the size of 4/4 s.

But the author found thatThis size is not equal to reality, and it is the same height and slightly narrower than the 3.5-inch iPhone 4.The resolution is very fine. However, it is very easy to operate, compared with the full size of 5.

Transformers scene desktop

Transformers’ new "Scene Desktop"

The form of "scene desktop" is also reserved in vivo, and the Transformers theme like the above picture is added. Compared with the classic desktop, the author is still willing to regard it as a flasher, which may not be easy to master in actual use unless you are particularly familiar with its operation.

NFC quick operation tag with sliding screen in space

In addition to the "small screen mode" mentioned above, vivo continues some somatosensory operations added before, and it is more abundant. For example, functions such as "air operation" and "smart bright screen" are added for the first time. It is not difficult to understand. The operation from a distance is to recognize the waving action through the front camera, so that you can look at photos or turn over the screen without touching the screen. The smart bright screen is to recognize the eyes’ gaze when the screen is about to go out and light up again.

"Operation from Space" Intelligent Somatosensory

As for where to use it, we think that "remote operation" can be used when you have oil stains or water stains on your hands, and the similar function of "smart bright screen" has been used before, and the usage must be known to everyone.

In addition, "WAY!" has been added to vivo. This function is aimed at people who love to travel. It provides 360-degree panoramic photos of some famous scenic spots and brief introduction. The quality of the pictures is very high and it has a very immersive feeling. There are also a large number of panoramic views of destinations in online content, so you can look at them in advance before you want to go anywhere.

On the use of NFC shortcut tags



Use of video NFC shortcut tags

Vivo also supports the function of NFC quick tag, and the recognition position is in the rear camera area. At present, OPPO Find 5, LG Optimus G Pro and perhaps other unknown models support this function; Several NFC tags are also included in the package. You can use vivo to write the tags into specific functions, and then paste them in specific places. In this way, when we touch them with vivo, we can quickly turn on the corresponding functions.

A new -Fi experience created by three chips

The promotion of vivo has always been positioned as the "flagship of audio and video", so the audio and video function is naturally the most valued place. As far as music is concerned, before vivo X1, two chips, CS8422+CS4398, were inserted for the first time, which were used to decode DAC independently without relying on SoC.

Vivo Xplay evaluation
Vivo still takes audio and video as the main event.

Newcomer OPA2604 operational amplifier chip

The upgrade is that vivo has added OPA2604 operational amplifier chip on the basis of keeping CS8422 and CS4398, and the normal voltage of 3.7v is raised to 5.8v by boosting to supply it to the operational amplifier chip; This means that in addition to earplugs, the thrust of vivo will become greater, which can better promote some high-impedance large headphones.

Snapdragon 600+1080P screen vivo Xplay officially released.
Compared with vivo X1, vivo has added OPA2604 operational amplifier chip.

In addition to the attached XE600, the author also tried a large earphone like UE900 earplug or even HD600. The push of 600 is still a bit tasteful, and the sound field is quite broad; As for the more detailed sound quality test, we are still preparing, and we will also bring more detailed listening and actual quality tests later.

Still not supported

It still retains a similar style as before. As an audio-visual flagship, it can naturally support lossless formats such as APE and WAV except MP3, WMA and M4A. However, there is still no support for CUE playlist, and it is still not easy to choose tracks for APE or FLAC files of the whole track.

Comprehensive evaluation of well-deserved audio-visual flagship vivo Xplay   Comprehensive evaluation of well-deserved audio-visual flagship vivo Xplay

In addition to the basic playing quality, vivo also pays more attention to the construction of resources. By integrating Baidu music to provide high-quality 320kbps audio, you can even audition and lossless format directly. However, compared with the richness of MP3, there is still not much lossless music provided, but it seems that any music enthusiast does not have to get it online and must have a pile of inventory in his hand. It is convenient to listen to music online in general format, and it also contains relatively new lists and popular radio functions.

 

Three-magnetic-circuit loudspeaker contrast BoomSound

Another performance of "audio-visual flagship" is naturally video, so first of all, we still use 15 pieces of 1080p resolution multi-format video content for local decoding test; Although we don’t think that the platform of Snapdragon 600 will have any difficulty in dealing with these, even MT6589 is enough, but let’s give it a try.

Vivo Xplay evaluation
1080p test results

Except for two MOVs that are not natively supported, other formats of 1080p resolution video can be played completely and smoothly. Because the test time is ahead of schedule, we have provided support for MOV in the latest vivo system update we received on May 27th.

Video resources are also integrated with LeTV and other resources. Today’s mainstream video clients have 720p or even 1080p film sources; Although the rate is very high and can’t compare with the quality of local video, it is still qualitatively improved compared with the previous "standard definition era".

Three-magnetic circuit speaker +SRS contrast BoomSound+Beats

Although the sound quality of the built-in output is good, sometimes we need to play the sound externally. Therefore, we also tested the external effect of vivo by the way. After all, it is equipped with dual speakers and can turn on SRS surround.Three-magnetic circuit loudspeaker, "sound phase following" technology and 0.4mm micro-hole positive sound cavity. But for most people, these nouns are no different from floating clouds. In the end, you have to listen to the effect.

Vivo Xplay evaluation
Vivo with dual speakers design

These nouns are probably the easiest to understand.Follow the sound.To put it simply: people who are used to using their right hands are used to watching videos in a counterclockwise horizontal screen, and then the left and right channels of the mobile phone are correct. People who are used to watching videos with their left hands will horizontally screen their mobile phones clockwise. At this time, the left and right channels will be reversed, and the viewing effect is very poor. The left and right channel signals with the help of "pan-following" technology will also be automatically adjusted and exchanged with the position of the picture.

Vivo Xplay evaluation
Three-magnetic circuit speaker +SRS contrast BoomSound+Beats

We might as well compare the effect of external playback. The comparison product is One, because the author’s recent experience really shocked its BoomSound external playback sound. We also used the recording pen for external recording, and turned on the sound effects supported by the two mobile phones to compare the actual effects of their external sound.



Comparative fragment 1 of external release effect



Comparative fragment 2 of external release effect

I thought the volume of BoomSound was abundant, but I didn’t expect the order of magnitude of vivo to be heavier.. From the recorded sound, we can roughly hear the slight difference between the two. vivo has opened SRS surround sound, so it creates a large sound field and has a certain surround effect. The BoomSound sound of HTC One is more concentrated and powerful.

Random OTG expansion unlimited capacity

Vivo has prepared two versions of 16GB and 32GB ROM. Although the capacity is quite sufficient in the current models, in fact, if you really want to watch 1080p film sources on it, experienced friends must know that the capacity is not enough. A 720p movie compressed into MKV will cost about 4~6GB, not to mention 1080p.



video

Fortunately, however, vivo supports OTG, and the OTG cable is standard, which means that we can directly let vivo read files, especially large videos, in the U disk or mobile hard disk. As for whether the effect and speed can be supported well, we also demonstrate it through the video above. The rate is still very good, and it is not a problem to support 1080p video transmission and playback with general bit rate.

Actual power consumption test of large screen and three chips

In order to cope with the three chips specially used for -Fi and the large screen of Snapdragon 600 and 1080p, vivo also has a built-in battery with a capacity of 3400 mAh. Considering that the addition of Hi-Fi processing is still more power-consuming than normal, we also specially tested the battery life of vivo in two aspects.

GLBenchmark battery test

Firstly, in theory, we adopt Battery Test of GLBenchmark 2.5.1 as the detection method. It simulates a 3D game scene, and the battery life of vivo is 168 minutes (the power is reduced from 100% to 10%). Although it sounds short, the test conditions are very strict, which is equivalent toPlay 3D games at a frame rate of up to 60fps with 100% screen brightness.. Theoretically, we can play for 168 minutes under such conditions.

Vivo Xplay evaluation
Test discharge curve of vivo GLBenchmark battery

You still don’t think three hours or so is enough time to play? Actually, otherwise, we also found the GLBenchmark battery test in the cross review of quad-core mobile phones at the beginning of the year, because the parameters used in the cross review at that time were"100% brightness, 30fps"Compared with the conditions we just used, it is simpler, so the endurance performance of vivo is not bad.

GLBenchmark battery test for other modelsAchievement reference

Power consumption test of actual video music playback

Of course, as an audio-visual flagship, many people will certainly use it for video or Hi-Fi music; Therefore, in practical application, we also use Hi-Fi music playback to test the power consumption of vivo.

Comprehensive evaluation of well-deserved audio-visual flagship vivo Xplay
Power consumption test of actual video music playback

With 46% power remaining in the initial state, vivo is connected to the system.Bring your own XE600 headphones and turn on Hi-Fi., the power consumption for half an hour is 4%; Then, under the condition of 100% screen brightness and playing 1080p video, the power consumption of playing for half an hour is 7%. The power consumption is similar to that of the model without any professional audio decoding chip, so the power consumption of Hi-Fi has some influence on the system, but it is also within a reasonable range.

13 million photos are usually good, weak light and obvious noise.

13-megapixel camera has become the standard in flagship machine. Even though vivo is positioned as the flagship of audio and video instead of taking pictures, it is also equipped with a 13-megapixel Exmor RS stacked camera. It is also equipped with a 2100-line resolution 5P lens and a blue glass blue filter, which supports 1080P HD video recording and has functions such as beauty, smiling shutter and best photo taking. The front camera has 5 million pixels and a wide angle of 88 degrees.

13 megapixel camera

Although they all use Exmor RS stacked CMOS photosensitive elements, the in-machine processing level of each family is also different, so we can see that the final proofs of several recent models using this CMOS are very different; So let’s take a look at the camera level of vivo from the actual shooting effect. (The proofs are selected from indoor, outdoor, macro, night scene and other scenes, and all of them keep the original big picture.)

The imaging quality of this CMOS has been verified a lot, and the adjustment of vivo is also very good in outdoor light, which reflects the real scene of cloudy days … without any obvious shortcomings; However, I want to remind you that the metering system in this light is not very reliable. If the second sample does not manually measure the light in the lower left corner, the picture will be dark.

Generally speaking, there are no shortcomings in color in the room, but the picture also shows two situations according to the different lighting conditions; Under the condition of sufficient light in the supermarket, the detail expression is very good, even if it is enlarged to 100%, the fine print is still legible. However, if the light is not sufficient, noise will begin to appear more obviously.

Macro performance is basically equivalent to indoor effect, and the color is not obviously biased, but noise is easy to appear in the case of insufficient lighting.

Summary of lateral comparison and evaluation of Snapdragon 600 performance

Let’s recall the previous vivo X1. Although it also uses the combination of dual chips in audio, the performance of MT6577 processor is not very good as far as I am concerned. Now vivo has completely filled this short board and upgraded the platform to the top Snapdragon 600.

Snapdragon 600 compares S4 Pro again.

Comparison of Snapdragon APQ8064 parameters with Snapdragon 600 processor.
(The picture comes from "How much is the new and old four nuclear confrontation Snapdragon 600 better than APQ8064? 》)

As for Snapdragon 600, it has been adopted by LG Optimus G Pro, One, American S4 and other models, and there may be many friends who can’t tell the difference between it and the previous S4 Pro series. Compared with the Krait 200 kernel of APQ8064, Snapdragon 600 adopts an optimized version of Krait 300. However, it can be seen from the previous disassembly of the HTC One Snapdragon 600 processor by Chipworks that there is not much difference between the Snapdragon 600 (namely APQ8064T) and the previous S4 Pro (referring to APQ8064) in the kernel layout.

It can also be seen from the micrograph that the processor core of APQ8064T has the label "Avenger2", while the label in APQ8064 is "Avenger". In addition, both of them adopt 28nm process, and the core size is 9.92×8.88 mm. Compared with APQ8064, the frequency of APQ8064T is increased to 1.7GHz (the US version is the highest specification of 1.9GHz).

In addition to the individual performance test for vivo, we also found several products with the same or similar processor platforms for simple performance comparison. The Snapdragon 600 products provided by official website, Qualcomm, USA are LG Optimus G Pro, American Samsung S4 and HTC One, which seems to ignore the domestic 2S and the vivo we see now.

Since there are several models of Snapdragon 600, we can adopt them together, and by the way, we added HTC Butterfly, a model adopting Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064.

The test results show that, except for LG Optimus G Pro, which had a serious frequency reduction during the evaluation at that time, other models using Snapdragon 600 platform achieved similar results; Moreover, compared with HTC Butterfly, which adopts APQ8064, the performance improvement is obvious, and the main difference lies in the CPU, and the GPU is the same as Adreno 320, and the performance difference is not very big. And we don’t think such a gap is enough to make obvious differences in use.All in all, the performance of vivo can still compete with Optimus G Pro and HTC One.

The naming method of APQ8064 Pro about Xiaomi 2S is different from that of Qualcomm, which has not been officially confirmed and explained. It is only speculated that it belongs to Xiaolong 600.

Evaluation summary:

Comprehensive evaluation of well-deserved audio-visual flagship vivo Xplay
Comprehensive evaluation of well-deserved audio-visual flagship vivo

As mentioned in the title, in terms of audio-visual experience alone, the comprehensive strength of vivo is worthy of its title of "audio-visual flagship"-in terms of video, few models equipped with large screens adopt Snapdragon 600 platform with such strong performance, and even few adopt 1080p resolution, not to mention the parts that other models can integrate, such as network video resources. In terms of hardware capabilities alone, the display quality of screens, audio decoding quality and the external speakers. In terms of music, although more detailed special tests need to be launched later, it can be said that you are unlikely to find a mobile phone with better sound quality and thrust.

Of course, in addition to the audio-visual experience, vivo still has some problems, such as too much noise in the night shooting of the camera and the complicated icon style of the system; Moreover, as a model with the main music function, vivo still can’t support the list of APE/ on the whole track, which makes the selection of music complicated.

Concentrate on your strengths and do what you are good at.

In 2013, everyone was playing experience cards and technology cards. Some manufacturers, such as Lenovo and ZTE, were looking for breakthroughs in design to create unique and even all-metal shapes to please consumers’ attention. Some manufacturers, such as Samsung, seek to find breakthroughs in services and continue to carry forward intelligent operations and other content; Some manufacturers use their own superior resources to transfer the superior technologies of other product lines to the mobile phone product line. For example, Huawei uses the advantages of network technology to build D2 into a model supporting the fastest LTE network, and BBK uses the advantages of making music to make vivo into the flagship of audio and video today. Next, we will see that the One Sony strategy is integrated into the all-round technology of display, Walkman and even CyberShot on mobile phones.

If vivo X1 is just a simple attempt of -Fi, vivo is a concentrated bloom; In a word, vivo is not only worthy of the title of current audio-visual flagship, but also has good performance. As for the price/performance ratio, let’s compare it ourselves.

Agricultural science and technology innovation should strengthen market consciousness, efficiency consciousness and benefit consciousness

  Hangzhou, August 16 (Reporter Yu Qin) On the morning of the 16th, Governor Zheng Shanjie came to the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to investigate agricultural science and technology. He stressed: to consolidate and strengthen the basic position of agriculture, we must not relax at any time. It is hoped that the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of a series of important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on agricultural science and technology innovation, conscientiously implement the arrangements of the Ninth Plenary Session of the 14th Provincial Party Committee, further improve its position, emancipate its mind, further enhance its market awareness, efficiency awareness and benefit awareness, further play its role as the main force and system platform for promoting the overall leap of agricultural science and technology in the province, bravely shoulder heavy burdens and climb the peak, seize the day and make great efforts, in order to promote "strengthening agriculture through science and technology and strengthening agriculture through machinery" in our province.

  From the scientific research platform, breeding base, and agricultural machinery and equipment exhibition site, Zheng Shanjie went into laboratories, greenhouses and border paddy fields, cordially visited agricultural researchers, learned more about the breeding of new varieties, cultivation experiments and marketing of agricultural scientific and technological achievements, and fully affirmed the achievements made by the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences in recent years. He said that agricultural science and technology innovation has unlimited potential and prospects, and at the same time, it also makes agriculture infinite. The majority of scientific researchers must establish a strong market orientation, work hard on the application of agricultural science and technology that farmers most expect and urgently need, and do a good job in the article of "forcing basic research with applied research and leading applied research with basic research" to create more achievements, benefit more people and write a more wonderful life in the vast fields.

  Zheng Shanjie pointed out that the way out for the high-quality development of agriculture in our province lies in improving the level of science and technology and mechanization. It is necessary to focus on "strengthening agriculture by science and technology and strengthening agriculture by machinery", strengthen problem orientation, identify the needs of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, focus on tackling key scientific and technological problems that restrict agricultural innovation and development, and effectively solve practical problems. We should establish the concept of input and output, give full play to the power of the market, pay attention to the main role of enterprises in innovation decision-making, R&D investment, scientific research organization and achievement transformation, promote the integrated development of Industry-University-Research, and improve the efficiency and benefit of agriculture through persistent scientific and technological innovation, so that agriculture can be competitive and farmers can earn money. It is necessary to deepen the reform of agricultural science and technology system, support technological research and development and technological innovation through institutional supply and institutional innovation, so that scientific researchers can benefit from the transformation of achievements, realize their personal value while realizing the interests of the country and society, and realize the "full revitalization" of agricultural science and technology innovation with "talent".

  Liu Xiaotao participated in the survey.

Because this is the first in China, it is very convenient to register enterprises now!

A Little Red Flower: tolerate suffering and let the little red flower bloom in my heart.


Special feature of 1905 film network Salt lake, blue sky, white teenager, white skirt girl; It’s so clean in the warm sun, between heaven and earth … …After watching the movie, this scene must be lingering. This beautiful ideal is an illusion that Wei Yihang (Jackson Yee), a teenager, can only see before he falls sick and faints.



A smelly-faced teenager in front of a stranger is a cold-faced teenager in the eyes of his family. The taciturn and perverse "juvenile rage" is vividly reflected in the adolescent boy Wei Yihang.



Under the extreme conditions of brain cancer, all this rebellion is nothing more than a hard shell for him to choose to "confront" or escape from his own misfortune and strange eyes around him. The first half of A Little Red Flower focuses on the ice-breaking process of this layer of defense.


As a key figure who lights up Wei Yihang’s gloomy life on the plot line, Ma Xiaoyuan (played by Liu Haocun), an optimistic girl, changes everything with love. As a "senior" brain cancer patient, her weapon to break the ice is not only initiative, but also empathy beyond simple communication.


Han Yan, a director with shooting experience, once again returned to the "normal" life perspective after throwing out the protagonist’s illness dilemma. Compared with "tumor jun" who had to be confined to the ward scene most of the time, "Little Red Flower", which made many viewers call "watching a youth film", obviously went further on the positive road to sadness.


However, no matter how beautiful the picture of youth love is, its basic starting point still cannot escape the awe of life.



The opportunity for them to really get to know each other is the conflict and opposition between them on whether their cancer patients need chicken soup for the soul; Several degrees of ambiguous clutch are closely related to the recurrence of their illness.


As a highlight of the film’s plot and post-publicity, the Weibo accounts of the two protagonists have become the key clue for fans to resume the film.



The homophonic interpretation of Wei Yihang’s "WEIYI’s voyage" reflects the firm but helpless yearning of the boy with cancer to travel to distant places. The screen name of "how far to roll" is extremely suitable for Ma Xiaoyuan’s jumping personality, and at the same time, it more intuitively reflects her drive for Wei Yihang’s courage to dream.



Although their journey together failed to go far, this journey of spiritual companionship with Xiaoyuan still stirred Yihang’s heart after her death. With this growth, Yihang ordered a beef rice takeaway for her haggard father in the name of a dead girl with cancer. After knowing the secret of the lover of Wu Xiaomei (Yun-peng Yue), the owner of the cancer patient group, she chose to support silently, which really realized the difficulty for her parents to spend everything to save themselves … …


The first little red flower in the film of the first voyage that passed on the spirit of "Little Red Flower" is Xiaoyuan’s reward for his "initiative for the first time in life". If the two people’s similar illness backgrounds and family status are reflected, you will find that the process of actively pursuing a small distance under the encouragement of the other party can also be regarded as a journey of self-discovery — — The so-called proactive process is actually the acceptance of all the states such as one’s illness and dreams, unbearable and great.



Years later, Wei Yihang, who has finally completed this "only" voyage on the Qinghai Lake, which is highly corresponding to the image of the dreamland in reality, saw the face of his eternal lover and found a little red flower belonging to life and hope in the "migration of 100 million sheep".


This little red flower has actually been in the heart of Yihang. With this performance, Jackson Yee undoubtedly won a "little red flower" for his fresh but wonderful actor resume.



Different from Li Xiaobei’s guardian-like depth and courage, it seems that he only needs to return to the corner of Wei Yihang, who is a teenager, but he tests the emotional transformation of actors in multiple dimensions such as illness, autism, love and release.


That scene’s confession to Xiaoyuan after drinking is not only a self-doubt and frustrated teenager who can’t help himself after getting drunk, but also an accusation of unfair fate after being substituted into the status of a cancer patient.



"I’m afraid I’ll die as soon as I take out my heart." In addition to talent, such difficult movements are naturally voiced, and Jackson Yee’s belief in performance deserves greater praise.


Also worthy of being awarded the "Little Red Flower" are Liu Haocun, who has performed more and more, and the parents who have made intensive contributions to tears. Under the joint efforts of each audience’s unique interpretation, this "little red flower" has gradually become the public’s vision mapping.



Perhaps, you and I, who can feel the red flower in our hearts, will find the lake in our dreams in 2021.


Russia celebrates Victory Day online, 2 million people sign up for online "parade"

  [Global Network Reporter Wang Boyaqi] Because of the sudden COVID-19 epidemic, Russia had to postpone the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War scheduled for May 9 this year. Although the large-scale military parade has been cancelled due to the epidemic, on the 9 th, fighters will fly over the Red Square in Moscow to participate in the air parade. In addition, according to the Russian News Agency, the celebration of the "Immortal Legion" on Victory Day also continued through the "online" way. According to reports, the registration time for the event ended at 15: 00 Moscow time, and about 2.1 million people have signed up to participate.

  According to RIA Novosti, the broadcast of the "Immortal Corps" online activity will start at 11: 00 am Petropavlovsk time (2: 00 am Moscow time) in Kamchatka Territory. Sputnik news agency & radio said that people who are willing to participate in this activity need to send photos of heroes of World War II to a specific mailbox and attach stories related to them. At present, more than 2 million people have signed up to participate.

Ranked among the top three Chinese films at the box office in China and Hongkong! The new director of Hong Kong has risen.


Special feature of 1905 film network As of press time, Hong Kong films have grossed more than 67 million yuan in five days in mainland China.Previously, the film has made over HK$ 100 million at the box office in China and Hong Kong, surpassing the first place in the history of Hong Kong films made in Asia and Hong Kong. For the first time in a hundred years, the box office of local movies has exceeded 100 million, and a new milestone in the history of Hong Kong movies was officially born.



At present, the top three Chinese-language films in the box office of Hong Kong film history are The Bitch Lawyer and The Battle of Tomorrow.The above three films are the first and second works of directors, and these achievements seem to make Hong Kong film circles present a positive signal — — The rise of the new director has brought another batch of acclaimed and blockbuster new works.



Since the late 1990s, there have been many doubts about the decline of Hong Kong films. The expansion of the mainland market, the northward movement of local directors and the impact of streaming media have all contributed to the decline of Hong Kong films.


Is the Hong Kong film dead? The new directors are searching for the answer on the new road of development, trying to say "no" with painstaking efforts and achievements!



A new director from the transformation


In his early years, the director of "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" wrote many classic films.



"I still think you are the best" director worked as a screenwriter for other works before directing his debut;He Juetian, the director of The Cloister of Justice, worked as a screenwriter and deputy director before he gradually waited for the opportunity to shoot The Cloister of Justice.ScreenwriterPainted Skin, The MagicianHe has served as deputy director for many famous directors for more than 20 years.Huang qingxunJust started to create the first director’s work.I’m Livin’it.



He was appreciated and won the Best Visual Effect Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for three times before directing "Tomorrow’s Battle".


Or a screenwriter, or an assistant director, or production designer, or special effects design ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….


What they heard on the set made them have a deep understanding of the post of director. In particular, posts closely related to famous directors are more likely to get corresponding guidance and support from communication. This has also created a long-standing "mentoring system" in Hong Kong’s director circles.



Fortunately, the Hong Kong SAR Government has further increased its support for new directors in recent years. As early as 2007, the Hong Kong SAR Government injected HK$ 320 million into the Film Development Fund, serving the First Drama Film Project, the Film Production Funding Plan, the Film Production Financing Plan and other film-related projects.


In an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network last year, the director specifically mentioned "the first plot film plan". The program is divided into student groups and professional groups, and the winning scripts can be funded.



"Obsolete Festival", which was nominated for the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards earlier, is one of the beneficiaries. By June, 2022, the Fund had allocated a total of HK$ 217 million for 57 Hong Kong-made films, including 17 directorial debuts, such as Wai Lun Ng’s "Bitch Lawyer", "Make a Good Movie" and "Make a Good Movie".



The "first drama film plan" must be escorted by a professional producer. Many experienced directors have thus become "guiding lights" for new directors, continuing the fine tradition of Hong Kong’s directors to bring the old with the new. Like Why Jue Tian produced The Cloister of Justice and I’m Livin’it He produced for Huang Qingxun, Tung shing Yee also produced the first director feature film Diary of Youth for Zhuo Yiqian, one of the screenwriters.



Today, famous directors who used to occupy the forefront of Hong Kong’s box office have taken root in the mainland, so the younger generation of creators can have a wider space to play in the local market. In addition, countless award-winning senior directors are willing to give full play to their own advantages and cultivate fresh blood for the local market. The rise of the new director in Hong Kong can be described as the result of combining the right time and the right place.


Tell the story of China and Hongkong well.


The best director who won the Hong Kong Film Awards the most times once said that winning the award is not her ultimate goal, and it is her concern to gain the trust of investors through winning the award, so as to obtain film investment. Great directors such as Xu Anhua still need to worry about funds, and the situation faced by new directors is even worse. It is not easy to find investment, and it is extremely difficult to find a large amount of investment.


Weng Ziguang spent all the savings he had originally planned to buy a house for the producer "The Cloister of Justice", but he was still one million short of the filming cost. Later, the mysterious man made up the final payment, and the film finally started shooting as he wished.


The director’s first work "Flowing Water Out of Flowers" can be promoted smoothly, which is inseparable from the star’s willingness to join "zero pay".



Two new director’s works, Poisonous Lawyer and I still think you are the best, are lucky to be favored, but they are not high-cost productions. Controlling creative funds is the first threshold that new directors must face, and expensive action movies are often not their first choice.



Although action movies are the golden signboard of Hong Kong movies, some directors have made classic examples at low cost in the past, but the overall consumption of this type is large and the prospect of return is vague, which directly leads to the difficulty for new generation creators to get corresponding opportunities.


Apart from Huang Qingxun’s "Broken Net" and his co-production, which won investment support from the mainland, few new directors’ creations in recent years belong to the type of action crime.



Wai Lun Ng once admitted in a public interview that judging from his past experience, Jiang Zhiqiang knew that he was better at creating action movies, but Mr. Jiang still said that the budget of action movies was relatively high and the prospects were not clear, and asked him if he wanted to make a literary drama first.


Wai Lun Ng is a bit difficult to listen to the call, "really used to writing action movies".Finally, he agreed, and there was a "Poisonous Lawyer" with a legal theme. The director skillfully integrated the rhythm of his own action film into the angry words of the chief prosecutor and the barrister.



Investors are willing to support the creation of new directors, but they are not allowed to "do whatever they want". Therefore, facing the local market and telling the story of Hong Kong well has become the focus of the new director.


They are keen to observe social changes, pay attention to life, tap the memories of the times, and create films that deeply imprint Hong Kong. "Now many new directors are beginning to care about what happens in their lives and regard it as their own creative theme, which the previous directors will never shoot." He has repeatedly supported the creation of new directors.



Dim Lights focuses on the disappearing neon sign culture in Hong Kong. I’m Livin’it revolves around a group of Hong Kong people who are forced to stay in fast food restaurants because of the blow to their lives; I still think you’re the best, and the Hong Kong versions of The Tale of Superstar Cultivation are translated into the names of Fanxi Attack on the Heart and Ama You Yi The Second, which contain a strong Cantonese cultural atmosphere ….. Hong Kong characteristics are integrated into the light and shadow stories, which resonates with local audiences, and the new directors are full of romance and charm.



After several years of polishing a script, many new directors’ works have gained a good reputation.


The 7.7-point Bitch Lawyer, 7.4-point I still think you are the best, and 7.9-point Justice Corridor are all well-known works of Chinese movies in recent years. And many new Hong Kong actors have gradually entered the public’s field of vision with the creation of the new director, including those in "The Bad Tongue Lawyer", "I still think you are the best" and "The Story of Superstars", such as Jiang Tao and Liu Yingting.



Whether it is a director or an actor, it is always a good thing for Hong Kong films to have a rich reserve of filmmakers.


The market cannot be bypassed.


Commercial films have to face the market test, which is cruel and realistic.As of press time, the research institute predicts that the total box office of "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" in mainland China is expected to exceed 173 million. Compared with the box office of the film in Hong Kong, this kind of achievement is not particularly outstanding. Being regarded as the "Zihua God"Wong Tze Wah; Dayo WongIt is difficult to show the box office appeal outside Greater Bay Area, and it is difficult for mainland audiences to resonate with a large number of localized expressions in the play.



The cultural difference between the two places is obviously the factor that leads to the completely different performance of the film market, and "Poisonous Lawyer" is not an isolated case affected by this.The Bad Tongue Lawyer, Tomorrow’s War and I still think you’re the best have all experienced a decline in word-of-mouth after being released in the mainland.


The former Douban score has dropped from 8.1 to 7.7, Tomorrow’s Battle has dropped from 6.5 to 6.1, and Still Think You Are the Best with a score of 8.0 was once the highest-rated romantic comedy movie in 2022, but the score was only maintained at 7.4. The longer it is released, the more comments it gets, but the word-of-mouth keeps declining, which reflects to some extent that these Hong Kong films may not reach the "expected value" of mainland audiences.



These films also indirectly illustrate the problem in terms of the box office difference between Hong Kong and mainland markets."Still Think You Are the Best", starring Wong Tze Wah, ranked third in the box office of Chinese movies in Hong Kong, with a total domestic box office of HK$ 77.66 million. However, the total box office in mainland China, whose market scale is dozens of times higher than that in Hong Kong, has just exceeded 100 million, only about HK$ 40 million higher than that in the local area.


Looking at the mainland market, the top three box office films in Hong Kong (1.329 billion) (1.314 billion) (1.312 billion) are classic Hong Kong-style action movies. "Eliminating Violence" directed by Ho Leung Lau, which won 538 million box office, belongs to this category. None of the above films broke into the top ten of the local box office, but they were deeply loved by mainland audiences. The difference between the two audiences’ keen viewing styles can be seen.



Looking back, although the success of "Poisonous Lawyers" in China has proved that the Hong Kong market has unlimited possibilities for the development of Hong Kong films. However, based on the creative perspective of the new directors in Hong Kong, if they want to compete for a larger market, how to balance the tastes of audiences around the world while telling a good story about Hong Kong is another major issue they need to face.
