Last month, Redmi launched two products of the K50 series, the K50 e-sports edition and the K50 Championship Edition, catching up with the first wave of the release of snapdragon 8 Gen 1. However, even Lu Zong admitted at the press conference that although everyone was not satisfied with this "broken chip", it was still the most powerful processor that could be selected on the market at that time.
For Qualcomm in the previous two years, the withdrawal of Kirin has made it no longer rival in the flagship Soc of the Android camp, and many domestic manufacturers are facing the same "no other choice" problem as Redmi. At the end of last year, MediaTek finally challenged Qualcomm again at the end of last year, and the newly released Tianji 9000 Sword Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 was released.
Therefore, everyone is more full of expectations for the upcoming Tianji 9000 model in the K50 universe, "welder" plus "kicker", what kind of surprise will this combination bring? Today, through the simple hand-to-hand K50 Pro equipped with the Tianji 9000, we will take you to understand it together.
performance
I know that everyone is most concerned about the performance of the Tianji 9000 on the K50 Pro, so we went straight to the subject and conducted the performance test first.
According to the convention, AnTutu ran 1013291 points, although it was not as good as the official claim of more than 1.05 million, but this result was already very good, compared with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Of course, the entertainment rabbit is on the line, and below we test the CPU and GPU performance separately. K50 Pro GeekBench 5 CPU single-core score of 1306 points, multi-core is 4487 points, this score beat the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 without suspense, but also slightly higher than the OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition we tested before. In terms of power consumption, the GeekBench 5 platform consumes about 2.7W per core and 6.2W for multi-core, with a conversion efficiency ratio of 484 and 724, respectively.
In the GPU section, the GFXBench Aztec OpenGL 1440P off-screen test scored 41 frames, and the average power consumption of the platform was about 7.8W
The power consumption is much lower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 model we tested before.
Combined with the data we tested on the OPPO Find X5 Pro Tianji Edition before, it is proved that the CPU performance of the Tianji 9000 on the mass production terminal is indeed better than that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and the gpu comprehensive performance is slightly behind, but the energy efficiency ratio is significantly ahead.
Of course, it is not enough to have a theory, and we have conducted a game test. All tests are performed at room temperature at 25°C, in performance mode. The highest picture quality of "Glory of the King" is 90Hz, the average frame rate of 15 minutes is 87.4, which is basically stable throughout the whole process, but it is slightly more volatile than the previous OPPO Find X5 Pro, and the average power consumption of the whole machine is about 3.3W.
"Peace Elite" is also not adapted to the 90Hz mode, smooth 60Hz mode, the whole process is basically full, the average frame rate of half an hour is 59.4, and the average power consumption of the whole machine is only 2.6W.
"Original God" in the extreme quality 60Hz mode, K50 Pro half an hour average frame rate of 54.1, although not as exaggerated as the promotion of more than 59 frames, but it can be seen that Redmi let go of the limit performance, the average power consumption of the whole machine is about 5.8W, the energy efficiency ratio is good, but the temperature also increases.
Rao is Tianji 9000 such a power consumption control is good, let go of the run still can not resist the heating. Therefore, the K50 Pro still piles up a large area of stainless steel VC cooling system inside the fuselage, allowing the mobile phone to find a balance between the frame rate of power consumption and heat dissipation.
Previously, we also verified in the test of OPPO that Tianji 9000 does have the advantages of power consumption and energy efficiency ratio under low and medium loads, and the high load mainly depends on which aspect of the manufacturer's scheduling strategy is biased. OPPO in order to control the temperature rise and power consumption is conservative, Redmi let go of the run, the temperature will inevitably rise sharply, but from the perspective of energy efficiency ratio, Redmi is still a little higher. However, after all, most users do not often use such a limit scene, in general, Tianji 9000 is still stable.
devise
Of course, in addition to the Tianji 9000, the K50 Pro maintains the consistent style of the Redmi K series, and other aspects also try to meet the level of its "welder" positioning.
Last year's K40 series on the "ink feather" design let many people ridicule Xiaomi's excellent designers in red rice, it can be seen that the design of red rice is still more recognized, then this year's main color matching is upgraded after the "ink feather" 2.0, but this time we got a more metallic "silver" color matching, and then in the standard version of the hands-on time to show you the design and process after the upgrade.
Video
In fact, in recent years, Redmi has always insisted on using a straight screen, and it is not taking the "slender" road, which often looks wider, but in fact, the grip after getting started is still good. This time K50 Pro is still using a straight screen, the thickness of the whole machine is 8.48mm, the weight is 201g, it is not light and thin, but it is not too heavy and falling on the mobile phone.
This time the screen quality has also been strengthened, using 6.67-inch 2K resolution Samsung AMOLED flexible direct screen, and support 120Hz high brush, 526PPI, peak brightness 1200nit, of course, many online users are more concerned about DC dimming It also supports. There is also a claim that 16,000 levels of automatic brightness adjustment, but it is difficult to detect when it is actually used, and it is better than nothing.
Oh yes, this screen also supports Dolby Vision, when playing the video, the toolbox in the upper left corner also added the function of AI HDR, the actual experience down, the display effect is still very good, there will be no longer the previous one and Xiaomi mobile phone screen than the feeling of immediately dropping the price, but this time the fingerprint is still a side fingerprint program, and there is no screen fingerprint, as for no LTPO in front of these upgrades is not too much of a pity.
Similarly, the effect of stereoscopic double yang on the K50 Pro with Dolby Atmos is also very immersive, but the external amplifier needs to be turned up to a particularly large volume if it wants to achieve a better effect. There is also the asymmetry between the upper and lower speakers, when holding one on top and one down, there will always be accidentally blocking one of them, and it may be related to this that the external sound is not loud enough.
Battery life
Performance audio and video these basically K50 Pro is a proper flagship level, in addition to a relatively large upgrade point, that is, the past year everyone is discussing the problem of fast charging and battery capacity balance, this time K50 Pro is directly using 120W fast charge + 5000mAh single cell large-capacity battery combination, in addition to adding a self-developed surging P1 charging chip and a bunch of self-developed algorithms in the efficient and safe at the same time.
We measured it, the screen and open the battery option in the fast charge acceleration function, the power from 1% full time 24 minutes, did not reach the official 19 minutes, of course, this and the charging environment has been the difference between the device is also related, this speed is actually very good.
This time K50 Pro also built-in a lot of power saving strategies, such as 2K resolution, 120Hz, these have custom switches, the game for a long time without operation will prompt to reduce the resolution and refresh rate and so on. For battery life, we also conducted a five-hour endurance test that simulates various loads from low to high, and the remaining power is 50%, which is still quite good, and it is no problem to meet the daily use time of more than one day.
image
As we all know, imaging is not the strength of Redmi, but it should also be said that in the past, the lens module of the K50 Pro is a combination of ring triple camera and similar cloud level design, which is really a year-round change, unlike the e-sports version and the championship version.
Three cameras, the main camera is a 108MP lens using Samsung's HM2 sensor, upgraded OIS optical image stabilization, leaving two cluster lenses, 8 million pixel wide angle and 2 million pixel macro. At that time, the microscope head on the K30 Pro was still more interesting, and now it seems that Redmi is indeed not cold to the image, or leave it to Xiaomi to toss it. Having said that, we still took some samples, and you can see the actual shooting results.
summary
See here, basically K50 Pro should introduce the things are all talked about, as well as such as 160MHz WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 (this is the first to support, Tianji 9000 credit), Beidou positioning lane navigation, X-axis linear motor, NFC 3.0 and so on, basically is the bucket machine stacking routine operation.
Overall, the K50 Pro is worth affirming that the performance release of the Tianji 9000 is in place, tuned very well, and hopes to continue to maintain. This also proves that Tianji 9000 is really menacing this year, by not Being Nervous, volume one volume is always a good thing for consumers. However, I still want to sigh, using Tianji 9000 on the e-sports version, will there be a better chemical reaction? Other performances such as audio and video can also be remarkable, and solve the old and difficult problems of fast charging and battery capacity balance, and the design is basically online, and there is almost no big short board.
The rest is the price problem, in recent years, the price of mobile phones has risen, and the sub-brands that have been separated from each family are becoming more and more high-end, and Redmi cannot escape this trend. However, at the press conference this time, when the price was announced to be sold from 3499 yuan to 2999 yuan, the K50 Pro's cost performance has set a high tone. After this wave of Tianji 9000 correct name, there should be many models this year, we may wish to look forward to the same configuration conditions, whose price is more conscientious.
Finally, in fact, Qualcomm has a more headache this year, that there is no "firefighter" such as Snapdragon 870, and MediaTek in addition to the front of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Tianji 9000, Tianji 8000 series is also not to be underestimated. Tomorrow we will bring the K50 standard edition of the first Tianji 8100 to get started, so stay tuned!
