The Redmi K40 series released last year has become a "welder" of a flagship machine with a surprising extreme cost performance, coupled with everyone's expectations for the high-end flagship series of Tianji, so this year's K50 series has also attracted special attention. Now that we have also got the new K50 series at the first time, let's take a look at the performance of the Redmi K50 Pro.
The front of the Redmi K50 Pro is a 6.67-inch Samsung AMOLED flexible direct screen with a resolution of 3200 × 1440, which is also Redmi's first mobile phone equipped with a 2K screen.
As the most expensive straight screen in The history of Redmi, the Redmi K50 Pro adopts COP flexible packaging technology, with a chin of only 2.64mm and a lower bezel of only 1.5mm. Even @Fiberhome, a colleague who is unusually picky about screen margins, is amazed by this. And, I still want to emphasize: it is straight screen.
At the same time, the screen quality of the Redmi K50 Pro this time is even more outstanding.
First of all, this screen has a PPI of 526, which is currently the highest in Redmi and even the entire Xiaomi Group mobile phone, whether it is a picture or a text can be displayed more clearly and sharply.
Secondly, this screen has a peak brightness of 1200nit, supports a 120Hz refresh rate, and each piece has been calibrated by the factory color, which improves the color accuracy of the screen while reducing individual differences.
Third, Through its self-developed algorithm, Redmi also implemented ambient color temperature sensing and 16,000 levels of automatic brightness adjustment (with light sensor) on the MTK platform for the first time, and supported DC dimming.
Coupled with support for P3 gamut, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, the screen also received DisplayMate A+ certification and achieved 16 screen records.
In addition, you can even turn on the AI HDR function by swiping out the video toolbox in the top left and right in the video app, and improve the contrast and color range of traditional SDR content.
The bezels of the Redmi K50 Pro follow the NCVM process of the K40 series, which show a bit of a metallic texture from a distance, but the sides are cleaner than the K40.
The back of the Redmi K50 Pro continues the design texture of the previous generation. Among them, the camera Deco adopts a square and circular collision design, with the translucent material around the lens of the decorative star ring, transparent and flexible to present a sense of privacy. Coupled with the Super Black super black lens design, the overall texture is further improved.
In terms of imaging, the Redmi K50 Pro uses 100 million pixel ultra-clear triple cameras, of which the main camera is Samsung HM2, which has 108MP high pixels, supports pixel 9-in-1, OIS optical image stabilization, ultra-wide angle has 8MP and 119° ultra-wide field of view; and a 2MP macro lens.
When faced with large light ratio environments, the Redmi K50 Pro can provide a good HDR effect.
In low-light environments, with the assistance of OIS optical image stabilization and the ISP computing power of Tianji 9000, you can shoot night photos with good sharpness and HDR effects.
And the Redmi K50 Pro main camera and ultra-wide angle support super night shooting, you can see the window and neon highlight detail preservation is still good.
With the APU 5.0 of the Tianji 9000, the Redmi K50 Pro brings very good AI processing power, and the intuitive performance in terms of images is the newly upgraded magic day change and magic elimination functions, both of which can be enabled in album-editing.
For the first time, the new Magic Sky Change supports the Night View Sky Change function, and the overall light and shadow effect after the change is more realistic.
The AI intelligent sky function can automatically match the sky effect that is more in line with the current environment, and the user can switch with one click if he is not satisfied, but it is better if he can bring a withdrawal function (often click to feel that the sky in front of the sky effect is better).
Magic Elimination can be removed faster for passers-by.
I know that for this phone, everyone is very concerned about its performance, because it is the first product equipped with Tianji 9000.
As a product that adopts the most advanced TSMC 4nm process at present, the Antutu running score of Tianji 9000 on the Redmi K50 Pro has easily exceeded 1 million.
Coupled with the full blood version of LPDDR5 memory and the upgraded version of UFS 3.1 high-speed flash memory, Redmi K50 Pro can be described as a flagship performance of the three major pieces of comprehensive matching. In order to maximize performance, The Redmi K50 Pro has a luxurious heat dissipation system built-in, and the area of up to 3950mm stainless steel VC and 7 layers of graphite are not left behind. Next, let's take a look at the performance of specific games.
This time, we still choose the three popular mobile games of "Peace Elite", "Glory of the King" and "Original God", and open the performance mode in the system settings - power saving and battery, and select the performance mode in the game toolbox.
Before starting the test, we measured the temperature of the surface of the phone using a temperature gun, and at room temperature of 18 ° C, the surface temperature of the Redmi K50 Pro remained around 30 ° C when standing.
The first is the lower pressure of "Peace Elite", due to the limitations of the software side, it can turn on the 60 frame mode under smooth image quality.
From the monitoring software, the average frame rate of the Redmi K50 Pro during the 30-minute gameplay is stable at 59.60 frames, and the performance of stuttering (4 times /hour) and the worst drop frame (4 frames) is very good.
From the graph, the cpu pressure is not high, it seems that the 60-frame "Peace Elite" will not bring any challenge to the Redmi K50 Pro, and the big core simply did not run...
After 30 minutes of gameplay we measured the temperature of the surface of the phone using a temperature gun, the Redmi K50 Pro was 33.2 °C at the screen, 32.9 °C at the center of the battery, 33.9 °C at the SoC, and the maximum temperature of the bezel was 31.2 °C, and the temperature rise was very low.
Then we tested the "Glory of Kings" that can turn on the 120 frame mode, and finally we can give full play to the 120Hz high-brush screen of the Redmi K50 Pro and enjoy the most extreme battle.
With this setup, we easily ran a high frame score of 116 frames over the course of 30 minutes of gameplay.
It can be seen that when running "Glory of Kings" in 120 frame mode, the CPU pressure of the Redmi K50 Pro has risen significantly, and there have been several small stutters during the 30-minute game, resulting in no full frame, but it is harmless for the actual game experience.
After 30 minutes of gameplay, we measured the temperature on the surface of the phone using a temperature gun, the Redmi K50 Pro was 32.4 °C at the screen, 31.6 °C at the center of the battery, 33.8 °C at the SoC, and the maximum temperature of the bezel was 31.8 °C, and the temperature rise was still very low.
It can be seen that neither "Peace Elite" nor "Glory of Kings" can bring enough pressure to the Redmi K50 Pro, so the focus of the test still depends on the performance in "Original God".
First of all, we chose to conduct a 30-minute stress test in Inari Main City to see how the Redmi K50 Pro's temperature control, frame rate and performance release performed.
Under a 30-minute stress test, the Redmi K50 Pro ran an average of 59.23 frames, a stutter of 74 beats per hour and a drop-off of frames at the worst 36 frames, which was not bad.
Let's look at the graph. It is necessary to pay attention to two aspects, one is that although the frame rate fluctuates, the overall frame rate curve is still relatively stable and there is no overheating and frequency reduction; the other is that multiple cores will always participate in the work, and the pressure is very evenly distributed to multiple cores, and there is no multi-core onlooker of a core fire.
After 30 minutes of play, we measured the temperature of the surface of the phone using a temperature gun, the Redmi K50 Pro screen is 39.7 °C, the center of the battery is 36.7 °C, the SoC is 43.5 °C, the maximum temperature of the bezel is 37.9 °C, the temperature rise is larger, and there is already a more obvious sense of heat when handheld.
Then we took into account the player's actual game scene, conducted a 5-minute actual test, and carried out operations such as releasing skills and running maps. It can be seen that in such a more complex operation and more special effects, the Redmi K50 Pro did not keep the full frame, but came to 56.5 frames.
From the graph, it is basically similar to our perception during the game: in the case of more special effects, there will be a certain amount of stuttering in the moment of occasionally releasing the skill, but the overall fluency is still good.
Overall, in addition to the pressure of the game of "Original God", the other two mobile phones will not bring any burden to the Redmi K50 Pro when playing for a long time; and in the test of "Original God", we can also find that Redmi K50 Pro has not achieved the maximum performance release, which may still take into account the temperature control factor.
In addition, the Redmi K50 Pro also brings stereo dual speakers, which are good for both gaming and audio-visual entertainment.
Super resolution will exceed the screen resolution to 32000*14400 when the user touches the screen in the hand, allowing the user to be more accurate when sliding the screen weapon to adjust the aiming.
The X-axis linear motor 0809 provides users with a 4D vibration sense, and the feedback is crisper when firing a gun and other operations.
In addition to performance, the Redmi K50 Pro with the Tianji 9000 is also very good at connecting the experience.
For example, it supports 160Mhz Wi-Fi 6, and the throughput capacity is twice that of ordinary Wi-Fi 6.
For example, it supports the new Wi-Fi Bluetooth low-interference technology, which can improve game latency when the user is using a Bluetooth headset and is at the edge of 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or 5GHz Wi-Fi coverage.
For example, it supports Bluetooth 5.3 and LC3 audio encoding, which can achieve lower latency and smaller power consumption, and can greatly improve the problem of Bluetooth headset audio and picture out of sync.
It also supports Beidou positioning and lane-level navigation, which takes less time to locate for the first time.
All these optimizations make the Redmi K50 Pro more convenient to use in daily life.
Before recommending 5G mobile phones, after clarifying each other's needs, they often answered slightly apologetically: long battery life and fast charging can only choose one of the two, such as either 120W with 4500mAh battery, or 67W with 5000mAh battery - in fact, Weibo netizens have more than once erupted in a big debate for this topic - but the arrival of Redmi K50 Pro has finally achieved both.
The Redmi K50 Pro uses a 5000mAh battery synchronously based on the 120W second charge and is synchronously configured through the self-developed surging P1 chip. You know, the thickness of the machine is only 8.48mm, and it is not much thicker than ordinary 5G mobile phones.
In our actual charging tests, the Redmi K50 Pro took only 21 minutes to fully charge at power-on.
In the 2-hour B station FHD video playback, 1 hour 4K video recording and 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" game endurance test, the Redmi K50 Pro has 54% of the power left - you know that it has a 2K resolution screen. It can be said that the battery life level of the Redmi K50 Pro is also better than most of the flagship phones we have used before, and it is the most durable among the current mainstream 2K mobile phones.
After this period of use, the Redmi K50 Pro is worthy of the excellent tradition of the Redmi star series: top performance, flagship screen, fairy-level second charge, even the image X-axis motor, stereo double yang, etc. have also maintained the same level as always, presumably once again able to firmly weld the door of this year's flagship mobile phone. If you're a hardcore user with high performance requirements and a focus on core experiences like battery life and screen, then the Redmi K50 Pro is bound to be your first choice.
