The high-end flagship competition for smart phones in 2022 has begun in advance, and the new annual flagships of Lenovo MOTO, Xiaomi, realme and iQOO have successively appeared, and the flagship models of subsequent manufacturers including OnePlus and other manufacturers will also be officially released on the eve of the Spring Festival, but some manufacturers choose to wait until after the Spring Festival to release new machines, such as Xiaomi's Redmi brand.
Xiaomi 12 series officially debuted at the end of December, naturally Redmi can not follow closely after the release of new machines, the two brands still have to pull away from a certain distance, on the one hand, do not cause overlap between products, on the other hand, also to see what kind of products other manufacturers bring, has been released in the annual flagship mobile phone, realme true I GT2 Pro at the conference pulled out xiaomi 12 series to do comparison, this is naturally xiaomi disdain to compare an OPPO sub-brand, so Redmi can not hold back, The warm-up time was advanced by one month, and the day after the release of the realme GT2 Pro, the first poster of the Redmi K50 series was officially announced.
After this, the head of the Redmi brand - Lu Weibing began a series of warm-ups, it can be determined that the initial model of the Redmi K50 series will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 processor, and considering the high-heat and high-power performance of the previous generation of flagship chips - Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 888 Plus, many consumers still have some concerns about the new flagship model equipped with Snapdragon 8, and in fact, Snapdragon 8 does not "live up to" the expectations of netizens in terms of heat and power consumption. Therefore, this chip still has to test the adjustment level of mobile phone manufacturers in terms of heat dissipation and power consumption.
For the choice of Snapdragon 8 flagship model, Lu Weibing also expressed his own views, he believes that in 2022 to choose the flagship model of Snapdragon 8, consumers should mainly start from 3 dimensions, focusing on the control level of energy consumption and heat dissipation:
1. Heat dissipation stacking
Since the heating problem of Snapdragon 8 has been recognized, then the heat dissipation scheme of mobile phone manufacturers inside the fuselage has become the key, Lu Weibing said that the efficiency of the heat dissipation scheme is not determined by the total heat dissipation area, and more critical is to see the coverage area of the VC heating plate and the overall layout of the VC heating plate.
According to the preheating poster of the Redmi K50 series, the Redmi K50 series will have a built-in dual liquid cooling cooling solution, and there will be a large area of VC heat dissipation board, known as "challenging the industry's coldest Snapdragon 8".
2. Performance temperature control strategy
For gamers, the stability of the frame rate is still very important, at present, many models in order to control the core temperature, reduce the frame rate and lock the frame rate operation, and if the frame rate is stable at a high level, there is no way to control the core heat temperature, the balance between the frame rate and temperature is the second point emphasized by Lu Weibing, he believes that when tuning the performance of snapdragon 8, it is necessary to do a good job of balancing the frame rate and temperature control and re-release.
3. Power consumption affects charging
The last point is that for many people is very important charging experience, although many models are now equipped with high-power fast charging solutions, but Lu Weibing said that power consumption will also affect the speed of mobile phone charging, test charging speed and not only look at the speed of the ordinary charging process, but also look at the charging speed while playing, which is also an important dimension affecting the user experience.
In the warm-up information of the Redmi K50 series, it can be known that the Redmi K50 series will be equipped with a 4700mAh battery, support 120W wired fast charging, and can be fully charged in 17 minutes. The previously released iQOO9 series also uses the "4700mAh battery + 120W ultra-fast flash charge" combination scheme, iQOO officially announced that the charging time is 19 minutes to fully charge the entire battery.
The Redmi K50 series will contain a variety of models, among which the Redmi K50 Standard Edition, Redmi K50 Game Edition and Redmi K50 High Edition have been determined, of which the Redmi K50 Game Edition will continue the design of the Redmi K40 Game Enhanced Edition, with a straight-screen solution on the front, and the high-end version of the Redmi K50 series may use MediaTek's Tianji 9000 processor, while the front is equipped with Samsung's 2K flexible screen. It can also be called a high-end flagship of the year.
