If the Redmi K50 Pro is suitable for hardcore users who have high performance requirements and pay attention to the core experience such as battery life and screen, then the Redmi K50 equipped with Tianji 8100 is more suitable for users who want a flagship experience and pay more attention to cost performance.
Compared to the Pro version of the glow color we have on hand, the color of our Redmi K50 this time is ink feather. The color of the ink feather is immediately reminiscent of the same color of the Redmi K40 series, and in fact, the ink feather color of the Redmi K50 series does follow the design style of the previous generation.
However, compared with the ink feather color of the K40 series, the K50 not only integrates the overall texture of the universe-like high black and bright, but also adopts the nano-microcrystalline process, which micro-sculpts the crystal style to the surface of the diaphragm, and finally freezes the texture design from the olive meteorite in outer space on the surface of the mobile phone through UV transfer, giving people an imagination that contains infinite energy in the depths of the universe.
Given that the Screens of the Redmi K50 and Redmi K50 Pro are exactly the same, let's not go into more detail here and take a look at its performance.
The Redmi K50 debuted with the MediaTek Tianji 8100 SoC. This SoC uses TSMC 5nm process, Antu rabbit running score of 820,000, it can be said that the performance is very excellent; coupled with the Redmi K50 using the same full-blood version of the K50 Pro LNDDR5 memory and the upgraded version of UFS 3.1 high-speed flash memory, the overall hardware configuration is not much worse K50 Pro.
In terms of gaming, the Redmi K50 adopts the same heat dissipation specifications as the Redmi K50 Pro, and the stainless steel VC and 7 layers of graphite with an area of up to 3950mm do not fall.
In the actual testing link, 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 20 ° C, the surface temperature of the Redmi K50 Pro remained around 25 ° 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 30 frame mode in high-definition image quality.
From the monitoring software, the average frame rate of the Redmi K50 during the 30-minute game is stable at 29.83 frames, and the performance of stuttering (4 times /hour) and the worst dropped frame (2 frames) is very good.
From the frame rate and CPU call curve, the 30-frame "Peace Elite" is completely unchallenged, it seems that the game manufacturers still open higher frame rates and picture quality as soon as possible...
After 30 minutes of gameplay we measured the temperature on the surface of the phone using a temperature gun, the Redmi K50 screen is 26.3 °C, the center of the battery is 25.6 °C, the front and back sides of the SoC are 29.2 °C and 27.6 °C, respectively, and the temperature rise is very low.
Then we tested "Glory of Kings" that can turn on the 120 frame mode, which can give full play to the performance of the Redmi K50 120Hz high-brush screen and the Tianji 8100 SoC.
After 30 minutes of testing, the Redmi K50 was able to run at a full frame of 119.75 frames.
From the test graph, it is not difficult to find that the CPU pressure of the Redmi K50 rises significantly at this time, and the overall call rate and CPU frequency have increased significantly. It is worth mentioning that the multiple cores of the Redmi K50 Tianji 8100 are always dynamically called, and there will be no multi-core onlookers of a nuclear fire.
After 30 minutes of play, we measured the temperature of the surface of the phone using a temperature gun, the Redmi K50 screen is 33.3 °C, the center of the battery is 30.9 °C, the front and back sides of the SoC are 36.1 °C and 34.7 °C, the temperature generally rises by 5 ~ 10 °C, and there is a certain sense of heat when handheld.
Although the temperature of the Redmi K50 under 120 frames has risen significantly, but from the test point of view, these two new game machines can easily cope, so the final test focus is still to see the actual test performance of "Original God".
First, we chose to conduct a 30-minute stress test in Inari's main city to see how the Redmi K50's temperature control, frame rate and performance release performed.
Under a 30-minute stress test, the Redmi K50 Pro ran an average of 56.02 frames, a stuttering of 70 beats per hour and a worst 24 frame drops, which was not bad.
The focus is still on the curve change chart, you can see that the Redmi K50 will only have occasional small frame rate fluctuations in the first 20 minutes, and the overall curve is still relatively flat. After 20 minutes, you can see that the Redmi K50 has a more obvious frame rate fluctuation, from 60 to 55, and then to 50, the lowest will be 45 frames, and then return to 55 frames, and then repeat.
Guessing that such a temperature change should be a wall hit (temperature or power consumption) at 20 minutes, the phone needs to control the temperature by reducing the frame rate. However, in fact, considering our habit of playing mobile games, 20 minutes ago can run in full frame and is basically enough to cope with our daily use.
After 30 minutes of play, we measured the temperature of the surface of the phone using a temperature gun, the Redmi K50 screen is 40.5 °C, the center of the battery is 36.7 °C, and the front and back sides of the SoC are 41.7 °C and 44.2 °C, respectively.
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 average frame rate of the Redmi K50 has reached 57.47 frames.
Overall, the performance of the Tianji 8100 is still very good, compared to the Tianji 9000, it only has a certain disadvantage in heat, but if you consider the short-term high-frequency mobile game scene, this disadvantage I think is completely acceptable.
In terms of battery life and charging, the Redmi K50 uses a battery of up to 5500mAh, and supports 67W flash charging, which takes 53 minutes to fully charge the entire phone.
According to our 2-hour B station FHD video, 1 hour 4K video recording, and 30-minute "Peace Elite" game endurance test, the entire mobile phone still has 63% of electricity, which can be said to be quite satisfactory.
According to official data, the phone has a battery life of up to 1.32 days. And this is based on the fact that the entire phone is only 8.48mm - the same thickness as the Redmi K50 Pro.
Finally take a look at the photo shoot. The Redmi K50 uses a 48MP rear triple camera, of which the main camera is Sony IMX582, which supports OIS optical image stabilization.
The overall imaging style is not a high-saturation eye-catching idea, but a real style that restores the live environment, but the control of highlights in the extreme HDR scene needs to be optimized.
Both the main camera and the ultra-wide angle support super night shooting, and the dynamic range and imaging texture are good.
It can be said that the Redmi K50 is the strongest "standard version" in the history of the K series: it has the same flagship 2K screen as the Redmi K50 Pro, the same cooling system, and even wins in battery capacity; the only parameter is slightly inferior in charging speed, SoC, main camera, etc., which are still at the top level in other mobile phones in the price segment. With such a standard of products, there is no worry that the Redmi K50 series cannot weld the door of this year's flagship mobile phone.
