Compared with the "game flagship" Redmi K50 e-sports version released a month ago, the positioning of the Redmi K50 Pro has changed a lot - removing game-related elements, the whole machine style is closer to the "mass market", and the camera module also adopts a new design language, and the positioning is more like an "all-round flagship". Not only that, in the core hardware of the mobile phone, the previous Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 was replaced by mediatek Tianji 9000, so which of the performance of the two is better or worse? With these changes and questions, we experienced the Redmi K50 Pro.

Tianji 9000 Yes?
The lyrics in the song "Azure and other smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you" seem to sing the user's expectations for Tianji 9000. As for the reason, on the one hand, it is because its mass production model has not been listed, on the other hand, it is "thanks" to the large heat generation and poor power consumption control of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 mobile platform.
Joked and joked, from the specification point of view, the CPU of Tianji 9000 also adopts the latest generation of "1+3+4" three-bundle Armv9 architecture, of which the super core Cortex-X2 frequency is 3.05GHz, the large core Cortex-A710 frequency is 2.85GHz, and the small core Cortex-A510 frequency is 1.8GHz. Compared with the Snapdragon 8, the CPU frequency of the Tianji 9000 is higher and the cache is larger. The biggest difference between the two is that tianji 9000 is based on a more advanced TSMC 4nm process, and in theory, the heat generation will be better controlled. In terms of GPU, Tianji 9000 uses the latest generation of Mali-G710 deca-core graphics processor, paper data and Snapdragon 8 GPU are not high or low, so "running score" can not be exempted.
In the comprehensive performance test app "AntuTu Review", the Redmi K50 Pro scored 1015510; in the GeekBench 5.1 for CPU performance, its CPU single-core score was 1310 and multi-core score was 4538; in the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress test, the best loop score was 2269, and the stability was 91.9%.
▲In the comprehensive performance test app "AntuTu Review", the Redmi K50 Pro score is 1015510.
In GeekBench 5.1 for CPU performance, the Redmi K50 ProCPU has a single-core score of 1310 and a multi-core score of 4538.
In the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress test, the best loop score was 2269 and the stability was 91.9%.
In terms of the above theoretical results, the performance of the Redmi K50 Pro has been "full", and in order to let everyone have a clearer understanding of the Tianji 9000, we put the Performance Test Results of the Redmi K50 E-sports Edition (using snapdragon 8 chip) in the same environment. Through comparison, it is found that in the performance of the CPU, especially the multi-core performance, the Redmi K50 Pro is better, and the GPU performance is the Redmi K50 esports edition wins, but the stability of the Redmi K50 Pro is better.
In addition to "running scores", game measurements are also topics that need to be faced directly. We first selected the "Glory of the King", a popular mobile game, the frame rate is set to extremely high, the resolution is ultra-high, the total picture quality is high-definition, and the average frame rate of the Redmi K50 Pro measured by PerfDog is 119.2FPS, almost reaching the level of full frame (120FPS) operation.
The Redmi K50 Pro's Honor of Kings has an average frame rate of 119.2FPS.
Secondly, in the game "Original God", which tests the performance of mobile phones, we set the picture effect to the highest, the frame rate to 60FPS, and then tested it for half an hour in the "Rizuki Port" scene. The Redmi K50 Pro's picture performance during this process was very stable, with very few fluctuations, and finally handed over a "high score answer" with an average frame rate of 58.3FPS. In contrast, the Redmi K50 esports edition has an average frame rate of 54.3FPS at high quality, which is not bad, but obviously the Performance of the Tianji 9000 is better.
▲The average frame rate of Redmi K50 Pro's "Original God" reached 58.3FPS at the highest quality.
It is worth mentioning that under the half-hour "Original God" of the Riyuegang running map test, the maximum temperature of the Redmi K50 Pro fuselage is only 44.6 ° C, located on the right side of the rear lens module. Such excellent performance and temperature performance, there should be "applause" here. Of course, on the one hand, this is due to the good base of Tianji 9000, on the other hand, thanks to the Redmi K50 Pro in the heat dissipation efforts - the use of a new generation of ultra-thin stainless steel VC, the total area of up to 3950mm, covering 72% of the motherboard area, to maximize the acceleration of heat dissipation.

Redmi's first 2K screen phone
In addition to the performance "full" performance, the standard of flagship mobile phones is also essential for 2K screens. The Redmi K50 Pro is equipped with a 6.67-inch Samsung flexible 2K AMOLED screen, which is also the first time that a Redmi mobile phone has a 2K screen. At the same time, taking into account the needs of game users, Redmi K50 Pro adopts a straight screen design to avoid the trouble of accidental touch and curved screen film during gameplay. Of course, the "reasonable" configuration such as the 120Hz refresh rate has not fallen, and it is a little regrettable that LPTO technology does not appear on this screen.
In terms of actual perception, The screen resolution of Redmi K50 Pro is 3220×1440, PPI is as high as 526, whether it is text, pictures and videos have a delicate sense of "visible to the naked eye", when you are used to seeing this screen, and then look at the 1080p screen, there will indeed be a feeling of "not going back". For the Android phone automatic brightness adjustment problem that has been criticized by users, Redmi K50 Pro has also been optimized accordingly, with the blessing of 16,000 levels of automatic brightness adjustment, no matter what kind of use environment, it can give you a just right brightness - no longer need to manually adjust the screen brightness.
By the way, the peak brightness of 1200nit makes it possible to see what is on the screen even under the scorching sun. In addition, features such as ambient color temperature sensing, color calibration, HDR 10+ and Dplby Vision Dolby Vision will make you feel that this screen has a very "eye rim".
Camera, don't just scan the code
For many gamers and "otaku" users, the biggest role of mobile phone cameras is to "scan codes". As an "all-round flagship", the Redmi K50 Pro wants to do more than that, it uses a combination of rear triple cameras, the main camera is 108 million pixel lens (Samsung S5KHM2 sensor, support OIS optical image stabilization), ultra-wide angle 8 million pixel lens (support 119 ° wide angle), leaving a macro lens of 200 pixels.
In well-lit environments, the Redmi K50 Pro's white balance is accurate, and the color performance tends to be realistic, almost what you see is what you get. When the "108MP" mode is turned on, the picture details are further improved, the details are better preserved, and the sense of smearing is significantly reduced, it should be noted that in the "108MP" mode, HDR is not supported.

▲The redmi K50 Pro's ultra-wide-angle secondary camera and wide-angle main camera imaging style are relatively uniform, and the white balance is accurate.
Thanks to the advantages of the main camera 9-in-1 to 2.1μm large pixels, the Redmi K50 Pro's imaging picture in a low-light environment is transparent, the noise control is remarkable, and the smear feeling of the picture is also well controlled. In the halo suppression of highlights, its tuning strategy is slightly conservative, but there is still a lot of progress than before.

In 19 minutes, you can be revived with full blood
With limited fuselage space, how to solve the power anxiety? Using a battery with a larger capacity is one of the answers, followed by faster charging speeds. Redmi K50 Pro with Xiaomi's self-developed 4:1 charging chip surging P1, equipped with a 5000mAh capacity battery and 120W second charge, taking into account the large power and fast charging.
According to the actual measurement, charging 8 minutes can charge 50% of the Redmi K50 Pro, and from 1% to 100% power, it only takes 19 minutes and 30 seconds. This means that if we use the morning washing time to recharge, the Redmi K50 Pro can last all day, so everyone should have no battery anxiety, right?
▲ In just about 19 minutes, the Redmi K50 Pro can be "full of blood resurrection".
Flagship wind, low-key and introverted
From the perspective of design, the Redmi K50 Pro and the Redmi K50 esports edition take a very different path, the former does not emphasize the game elements, nor is it so "publicity". So in order to stand out in the "vast machine sea", Redmi has thought of a lot of ways - the rear camera module of the Redmi K50 Pro adopts Deco star orbit design + superblack lens design, and the collision beauty of square and circle plus the texture of high black and high brightness is very special.
▲ Deco star orbit design + superblack lens design, very special.
The colors of Redmi K50 Pro are also more diversified, ink feathers, silver marks, illusions, and glows, and if you are a user who pursues personality, it can also get your preferences. The blessing of double-sided glass creates a great texture of the whole machine, and the border adopts a straight side but a little curvature design, which has a sense of line and ensures the feel of the hand.

Write at the end
As an all-round flagship product, the Performance of the Redmi K50 Pro is all-encompassing. Second to none, it uses the Tianji 9000 chip, which gives consumers a new choice in addition to Qualcomm chips with powerful performance, good power consumption and heat control. In addition, "plus points" such as 2K screen, 120W flash charge and 5000mAh battery further enhance the competitiveness of this machine. Of course, not mentioned earlier, X-axis linear motor, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, stereo dual speakers and other configurations, Redmi K50 Pro also does not fall. In short, this machine is very balanced, very "bucket", as to whether it is your favorite, I believe the answer is already in mind.
