Next week, the Redmi K50 esports edition is here.
On February 9, @Redmi Redmi Mobile Announced that its new year's masterpiece K50 Esports Edition will be released on February 16. Officially, this is a Dream Phone created for K series users. Is it possible that this phone will become Redmi's best-looking phone at the moment?
When I first heard the three words "esports version", I inevitably tilted my head and wondered if this phone would be on par with the game phone this year and arrange a "arrogant and murderous" route design for myself. But until the official release of the appearance rendering, the appearance of the K50 esports version is actually ... Unexpectedly normal, even a little good looking.
In fact, when I started the K40 series last year, I felt that the Silver Wing color K40 game enhancement version was much more textured than the genuine K40, and the camera module and lightning flash were more recognizable. These design elements are continued to the K50 e-sports version, which is actually more conducive to the long-term development of a product line and enhances user stickiness, which will be more obviously reflected in the flagship mobile phone.
However, the K50 esports edition has also made an upgrade. First of all, the fuselage adopts a light matte homologous process, which enhances the texture of the mobile phone with a large area of fog, and the back midline is treated with a bright surface. Secondly, the camera module was changed to a matrix shape, retaining the previous breathing lights and becoming more bold, and the style was much tougher than the previous generation. In the choice of color matching, the K50 esports edition adds an "ice chopper" color scheme, blue back cover + black border.
In addition to the K40 Game Plus, the K50 Esports Edition incorporates design elements from other Redmi phones, such as the small stand-up of the Note 11 series. Therefore, the shape of the entire mobile phone is expected to be more three-dimensional than the previous generation, and there is more space for heat dissipation materials inside.
It's worth noting that the K50 esports edition uses an all-metal bezel, a configuration that none of the K40 Pro+ had last year, so love may really disappear
。 In some details, the K50 esports version of the sound hole and button texture have also been targeted.
The K50 esports edition at least looks more textured than the previous generation, and not only the appearance, but the phone, or the iconic pop-up shoulder key of this product line, has also been upgraded to increase the number of miniature magnets and make it have better rebound.
The pop-up shoulder key is essentially a key-type shoulder key, which can give the player more explicit key feedback than the pressure-sensitive and touch-sensitive, which is actually conducive to the player's operation. And in the actual game process, because the game's button control can be mapped to the shoulder button, such as cutting the mirror, changing the gun, dodging, etc., to a certain extent, the game operation can be simplified, coupled with the rebound feedback of the physical buttons, the game can also be more immersive.
In addition, the shoulder button of the K50 esports edition also adds some shortcut functions, such as long press to call out the camera, scan the code, flashlight, double-click quick screenshot, screen recording, NFC.
It can be seen that as the first flagship unveiled by the "K50 Universe", the K50 e-sports version has made significant progress in the appearance design, and it is more detailed, which is significantly better than last year's K40 game enhancement version and the genuine K40 series. At least in the K50 esports edition, Redmi already has its own more distinctive design style, and it has continuity, which is rare.
In addition to the appearance, the screen of the K50 esports edition is also very special, especially at a time when most flagships use low-frequency PWM dimming.
This phone supports 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which can significantly reduce the screen, especially the flicker index at low brightness, reduce the impact on the human eye on the OLED screen strobe, and protect the eyes more. However, this kind of screen generally requires a special screen driver IC, so it also means higher costs for manufacturers.
However, at a time when the visual perception and parameters of each screen are difficult to open a significant gap, it may be more meaningful to strengthen the screen eye protection.
Of course, the K50 esports edition has not been left behind in the quality of the screen itself, and its OLED direct screen has passed the DisplayMate A+ certification, while the screen touch partition has been increased from 2400 x 1080 to 24000 x 10800, and the screen can perceive the finger position faster. In addition, the screen surface is also covered with a layer of gorilla scratch-resistant glass, which is 1.5 times more resistant to falling, and through the 2-meter drop experiment, the scratch resistance is increased by 2 times, 4 times higher than ordinary glass.
According to the information currently released by the official, the Redmi K50 e-sports version has been upgraded and refined in terms of appearance and screen, but in fact, it can also be seen that the positioning of this phone has improved compared with last year's K40 game enhancement version.
