In today's era, the segmented game mobile phone market has developed more and more mature, and the continuous enrichment of products and the continuous birth of game black technology have indeed made many heavy gamers yearn. But for most users, it may be more important to buy a main machine that can be taken out of the street at will to play the top of the game. At this time, another segment represented by the Redmi K50 esports edition has emerged, of course, you can even go back to the K40 game enhanced version. This part of the model not only represents the game nature of some users who are "not crazy and cannot live", but also represents the public complex of some users who want to be the main machine.
After the foundation of the previous generation of products, Redmi more accurately understands the preferences of users, and on the K50 esports version in this area, we can see more careful thinking, very delicate and careful. And as Redmi's opening product in 2022, K50 esports Edition has achieved "a little cold first, and then the gun is like a dragon" with its top luxury configuration and the price of true incense. Maybe in 2022 you will have a lot of mobile phones that you can't let go of, then the K50 esports edition will be one of them.
Look at the face first
The Redmi K50 esports edition is full of X elements, quite hardcore, such as the silhouette of the back, the camera part, and even the volume keys and speaker openings that most people probably don't care about, as well as breathing lights, all of which have X elements, and the details are full. We got the ice chopper color scheme, just listening to the name is cold enough, amazing enough, and actually looks like it can really give people a cold feeling. Of course, as for whether the value of the face is high or not, there is no excessive evaluation here, but also depends on everyone's own preferences.
As an esports version of the phone, the Redmi K50 esports edition also designs breathing lights, positioned in the camera section, and forms an "X" element. It's hard to find a light when it's not lit, but when you plug in the power or turn on the game, as the lights come on, a restless heart of the game will be ignited. However, I personally feel that the game lighting effect can be further customized, such as flashing in the game or flashing after getting a kill, which will be more interesting.
In addition to the game, this breathing light will be lit when there is a notification of incoming calls and charging screens, at this time, if the mute button is turned on the desktop, you can see a notification message during the meeting, so as not to miss important things.
On the side of the K50 esports edition, there are many keys arranged, some pressing and some dialing. On the far right is the magnetically powered pop-up shoulder key 2.0, which is not popped up by default. When you flip the switch, the shoulder button will pop up, dial one side, flick one side, and dial at the same time, you can directly enter the game space. In this generation of products, Redmi has increased the number of magnets for toggle switches to 8, which is more stable, and when there is nothing to do, it will also become a new decompression artifact.
Redmi K50 Esports Edition shoulder button
This time, the shoulder button of the K50 e-sports version has also evolved to version 2.0, and the sense of blow is stronger, and it can even be set to press the opening mirror and raise the gun. In fact, the K50 e-sports version of the game shoulder button setting has a small problem, hidden a bit hidden, need to pull down the next level of menu to display, for the first time users are not friendly.
Settings page
Of course, if the game is played less, you can also use the shoulder button as a function shortcut, double-click or long press to start the camera, video, flashlight and so on. This is actually more like some mobile phones in previous years to do a key direct button, can be used as a shortcut key, daily is more convenient.
Redmi K50 esports fingerprint button
The upper position of the middle of the right middle box is placed a fingerprint power button, and has done special treatment, not as angular as the fingerprint key on the side of the product in the past, and it does not do concave treatment, but there is a slight protrusion, which will be more comfortable to touch. However, there is also a common problem in the side fingerprint, that is, it is easy to touch by mistake, and it is easy to touch when it is in the daily pocket or taken out to use, resulting in inexplicable unlocking of the phone.
The bottom of the fuselage
Top of the fuselage
At the bottom and top of the fuselage, it is equipped with JBL broadband four-unit speakers and is designed in the style of an "X". As a result, a four-unit speaker system composed of dual 1115 midwoofers + dual 0611 tweeters is formed. After auditioning a few songs from Deng Ziqi's "Light Years Away" and League of Legends' "Lone Brave", I can really feel the charm of this set of speakers, which makes me look forward to its performance in the game more and more. Small details such as speakers are actually easy for many consumers to ignore when buying products, but after that time, they will really affect the experience. The K50 esports version of the deluxe speaker configuration not only brings a more satisfying experience for daily music playback, but also enables listening and positioning in the intense game session, such as on the battlefield.
In recent years, screens have been the direction of smartphone power, and gaming phones are no exception. The K50 esports version is equipped with a 6.67-inch OLED direct screen, and users who like a straight screen can actually buy it with their eyes closed. In addition to having a 120Hz screen refresh rate and a 480Hz touch sampling rate, the K50 gaming version of the screen also supports 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and eye-sensitive users no longer have to worry about strobes at low brightness, which will also become a major trend this year.
Of course, thanks to the excellent performance, the K50 esports version of the screen passed the DisplayMate A+ certification, and achieved 15 screen records, with a 10bit color depth, JNCD is about equal to 0.18, Delta E is about equal to 0.3, and the color accuracy performance is much higher than the industry average. Such a screen quality, in fact, in the face of 5000+ price segment flagship products, is not vain. It also uses Corning Gorilla Victus Protective Glass, which has 1.5 times more drop resistance and 2 times more scratch resistance than the fifth generation glass, and its manufacturing resistance also makes it more suitable for the esports version.
In terms of the thickness and weight of the fuselage, the thickness of the K50 e-sports version is controlled at 8.5mm, and the weight is maintained at 210g, which is more light and thin compared to other game phones, and it is actually easier to carry for daily outings. And for heavy gamers, playing games in their hands for a long time will not seem so tired.

As the most powerful mobile platform at present, the new generation of Snapdragon 8 has been sought after by major mobile phone manufacturers, and having it means that the product is half successful. Redmi also sees this, equipping players with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, with a full version of LNDDR5 memory and an upgraded version of UFS3.1 high-speed flash memory, so that the performance experience of the K50 esports edition has reached a new level.

The sequential write speed of the K50 esports edition can reach 1460.27MB/s, which is the strong strength of the upgraded version of UFS3.1 high-speed flash memory, which is greatly improved compared with the previous generation.
Glory of Kings frame rate
Fuselage temperature
In the game testing link, nearly half an hour of "Glory of the King" K50 e-sports version of the average frame rate can be maintained at 119.4 frames, due to the two games, there will be a large frame rate fluctuation in the middle, we choose segments to take the average frame rate, from the data point of view, is close to full frame. The maximum temperature was controlled at 41.3°C after a game, which was equally outstanding. In the global game, even in intense team battles, the frame rate can be stable, and the 120 frame mode makes the overall game experience smoother. The new generation of Snapdragon 8 is obviously very relaxed when dealing with games like "Glory of Kings", and everyone can play with confidence, which is also the confidence given to gamers by the K50 esports edition.
Peace Elite frame rate
After the default quality of Peace Elite and 90 frames were turned on, the average frame rate of the K50 esports edition reached 88.8 frames, and the game experience was very smooth. In a variety of complex scenes, including the field, indoors, running pictures and driving, there is no stuttering phenomenon. It is also in the shooting game of "Peace Elite", the K50 e-sports version of the shoulder button can be better played, and the opening to shooting action is another great pleasure for mobile gamers. Here also quietly tell everyone, K50 e-sports edition of the world premiere CyberEngine ultra-broadband X-axis motor 1016, is the largest size of Android X-axis motor, with a stronger amount of vibration and richer vibration effect, is a big plus, high-quality vibration can make you feel the rumble of the engine when driving, driving when encountering stones and even have a feeling, very immersive.

At the same time, the touch also provides classic mode, expert mode and custom mode, you can adjust the touch settings of touch sliding and chirality, continuous click sensitivity, micro-manipulation aiming sensitivity, and click operation stability, which can be called the secret of the game's high play, as for the game Xiaobai, or honestly use the default settings.
Redmi K50 Esports Edition
In the invisible place, Redmi is extra careful, and the e-sports three antennas well ensure that the user has signal problems in the scene of whether it is horizontal grip or vertical grip, so that the horizontal screen game network becomes more stable. At the same time, Multi-Link was upgraded to version 5.0, achieving low-latency four-network collaboration and keeping high-speed networks online at any time. Supports the fastest WiFi 6 enhanced version, with a huge bandwidth of 160MHz and a peak rate of up to 3.5Gbps, and it's almost over.
In order to make the new generation snapdragon 8 durable high-energy output, the K50 gaming version also brings a multi-dimensional stereoscopic heat dissipation system, which is more aggressive than the previous generation. The breakthrough heat source separation layout + partition temperature control separately separates the processor heat source and the charger heat source, and avoids mutual interference through partition temperature control, so that the whole machine will not appear locally particularly hot. In the use of heat dissipation materials, the main heat dissipation material is a large area of double VC, with a total area of up to 4860mm, which may be the largest VC heat dissipation system in the industry. In addition to VC, it also uses a large area of graphene + 3D high-power graphite + second-generation aerospace graphene materials to achieve heat dissipation from the whole to the local.
As we mentioned earlier, the thickness of the K50 e-sports version is 8.5mm, the weight is 210g, not only is the strong heat dissipation system plugged inside, but the battery has also reached 4700mAh, and the fast charge has also evolved to 120W fairy second charge, which is the leading game phone at present.
