Top Direct Screen+Super High Energy Efficiency Ratio Strength Flagship Redmi K50 Evaluation

Red rice mobile phone ushered in a brand-new K50 series. This time, K50 continued to maintain its flagship dual-engine strategy and launched two products, K50 Pro and K50. The Redmi K50 series released this time not only adopts MediaTek flagship platform with better energy efficiency, but also pays more attention to the extreme stacking of core hardware. As this year's flagship "goalkeeper", the K50 not only uses the 2K flagship screen, but also has excellent performance in charging and battery life. Among them, the first Tianji 8 100 mobile platform also brought us a lot of surprises. Next, I will send you the relevant evaluation content.

The design of Redmi K50 can be said to be ordinary, but the retention of some id is remarkable. In the dreamland (blue) version in our hands, the whole back cover is treated with gradient color, which will gradually change from blue to pink under the influence of light. The overall look and feel is somewhat similar to the dreamland color matching of Redmi K40 series, but this bright color material is also easy to get fingerprints and stains. Inheriting the plastic frame of Redmi K40 series, it is polished by a new grinding process, which can reduce the weight of the product and bring good texture.

Back to the back, Redmi K50 is somewhat different in the design of lens module. In the rectangular double-layer array, a three-camera module wrapped in a circular star ring is accommodated, and the overall protruding amplitude is not particularly abrupt because of the two-stage transition.

For a product equipped with 5500mAh battery, the K50 machine's body thickness of 8.48mm and body weight of 20 1g are reasonable levels, but the large-size model will still be uncomfortable to hold in your hand for a long time. On the side of the fuselage, Redmi K50 is equipped with fingerprint identification function keys and volume adjustment buttons. This product still chooses the side fingerprint design. This fingerprint identification button can not only help users unlock their mobile phones quickly, but also have more customized operations, such as directly opening Alipay health code, WeChat scanning and other functions or some system applications.

Top-level direct screen, popularizing 2K flagship display

On the screen, Redmi K50 series directly reached a new height. Both Pro and Standard Edition use the same 2K bar screen. Redmi K50' s Samsung 2K screen has the top parameters in the current mobile phone screen, with the resolution as high as 3200 *1440,526 PPI, refresh rate 120Hz, peak brightness 1200nit, JNCD≈0.36, deltaE≈0.45, and supports AI HDR and Dolby Vision.

The display of the 2K screen is also very delicate, which is the watershed of the real flagship. Flexible straight screen can not only improve the front display effect, but also reduce the accidental touch of the edge during operation. In terms of optical performance, the resolution of 3200* 1440 and PPI of 526 make the display of words, pictures and videos clearer and sharper.

In addition to hardware specifications, K50 also has many advanced display technologies built in. Support full-range DC dimming, effectively reducing the stroboscopic problem under low brightness of the screen. In terms of automatic brightness, it supports the automatic brightness level of 1.6 million. With the light sensor, the automatic brightness level is more accurate and the transition is more natural. And the color temperature sensor can capture the color temperature of ambient light, so that the screen display can be accurately matched. Support P3 color gamut, HDR 10+ high dynamic range display and Dolby vision. When watching high dynamic range video content, the picture performance is more gorgeous and rich. In the use of the game, it also supports super-resolution touch technology, which improves the touch partition of the screen by 10 times, making the touch perception in the game more refined and the sliding trajectory more smooth and continuous.

Judging from the actual display effect, the whole screen of Redmi K50 is colorful. Whether it's picture browsing or video viewing, this screen can always present a good color impression relatively realistically. The detail improvement brought by 2K resolution is also visible to the naked eye, and the sharper text display also enhances the text reading experience. It is not difficult to see that Redmi will make this screen a differentiated selling point of the whole machine, which will make the overall strength of the whole machine go up a storey still higher, and at the same time let more users enjoy the visual improvement brought by the 2K screen.

Tianji 8 100 performed better than expected.

In terms of performance, Redmi K50 introduced MediaTek Tianji 8 100 processor. This processor is specially customized by Redmi, and it realizes 2K display, which is a certain upgrade compared with Tianji 8000. Using TSMC 5 nm process, it has excellent performance and more eye-catching energy efficiency performance. On the CPU side, four 2.85GHz Cortex-A78 cores are matched with four 2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. In terms of GPU, a new generation of Mali-G6 10 six-core graphics processor is adopted, which is the same as the Mali-G7 10 architecture of Tianji 9000, but its performance is slightly reduced.

In the evaluation of Ann Bunny, the total score of Redmi K50 is close to 840,000, and its performance exceeds that of Snapdragon 870, which is equivalent to that of Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 888 mobile platform last year, so the overall performance is still outstanding. In Geekbench 5 for testing CPU performance, Redmi K50 scored 907 for single core and over 3700 for multi-core. In contrast, the previous generation of Redmi K40 with Snapdragon 870 processor has a multi-core performance of 3,300, the previous generation of Redmi K40 Pro with Snapdragon 888 processor has a multi-core performance of about 3,600, and the multi-core performance of Snapdragon 8 100 exceeds last year's 888.

The same cat 8 100 is equipped with MediaTek HyperEngine 5.0 game engine. It supports four-channel LPDDR5 memory and UFS 3. 1 flash memory, which can provide high-speed data transmission. Tianji 8 100 series provides users with a smooth and stable game experience through the global energy efficiency optimization of the platform, and its excellent performance in energy efficiency also lays a solid foundation for the long-term battery life and temperature control of the terminal.

In the limit test of 3DMark's "Survival in the Wilderness" project to test the performance of GPU, Redmi K50 scored 99% in the running score of stability, and always maintained a stable frame rate. In the case of high load for half an hour, it still reached an excellent level. Even in the "Into the Wild Limit" test with 4K resolution, the stability is still above 80%, and the GPU has excellent compression resistance. From the data point of view, Redmi K50' s CPU, GPU, running memory and running score are very good, and it is at the upstream level in the current Android mobile phone market. Then, let's take a look at the specific performance of this product through the actual game experience.

First of all, in the test of the glory of the king, as long as the current flagship processing platform is optimized, stable operation is not a problem. Open 120 frame mode, and open the game with ultra-high resolution and extreme picture. The data shows that the overall frame rate of Redmi K50 is basically stable between 1 15- 120 frames during the half-hour test. During the game, both the movement of characters and the release of skills are smooth.

In the Genshin Impact test, turn on the 60-frame maximum picture quality setting. The data shows that the frame rate of Redmi K50 is basically stable at about 52 frames in the test of nearly half an hour, because it simulates the scenes of daily games, carries out different scenes such as daily tasks, outdoor BOSS, brushing materials, etc., among which there will be an obvious decrease in frame rate during conversion, and the overall frame rate stability is still very good in other cases. When the highest picture quality is turned on, the burden of the whole machine is heavy, especially when the camera in the main city rotates rapidly, loading too many scenes will lead to some obvious frame rate fluctuations. If you enter the secret realm, you can basically maintain the frame rate performance above 55fps with low fluctuation.

Redmi and MediaTek have been cooperating on many products. In the past few years, Redmi teamed up with MediaTek to launch a number of heavyweight processors around the world, and all of them have achieved excellent market reputation. The tacit cooperation with MediaTek has accumulated rich experience for Redmi in the adjustment of the flagship platform of Tianji, and made Tianji 8 100 get excellent overall experience and energy consumption performance after its listing.

According to the actual test, although Tianji 8 100 is a mid-range platform, its performance really exceeds my expectation. Thanks to TSMC's 5nm manufacturing technology, the overall gaming experience of Redmi K50 is basically the same as that of Snapdragon 888 flagship mobile phone tested before, and the heating control is more stable.

Long battery life Android flagship

As a flagship with high performance-to-price ratio, the Redmi K40 adopts the common three-shot scheme, with a 48-megapixel main lens (IMX582), an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens (1 19 field of view) and a 2-megapixel macro lens, which is slightly smaller than the previous K40. However, this time Redmi added OIS optical image stabilization, which greatly improved the film quality of the photo, even if it was shot by hand, it also reduced the blur problem.

The standard K50 is equipped with 67W flash charging, and the battery capacity is increased to 5500mAh with the same thickness, which further enhances the endurance while having a good energy consumption ratio. Even with the configuration of 2K screen, K50 still achieves the endurance ceiling of the current Android flagship mobile phone.

In actual use, K50 can last for more than one day when it is used in a moderate way, such as watching WeChat, brushing videos and playing games. Even if you play games for a long time, the battery display will be very reassuring, which is more reassuring than other flagship Android products.

This new mobile phone basically follows Redmi's continuous supplement and improvement of users' pain points. Although there are no attractive highlights in the design, Redmi can meet the hardware requirements of most users for mobile phones while achieving the best price. With the help of MediaTek Tianji 8 100, some pain points in the current use of Android phones have been solved. Let users get a pragmatic and better time-limited and endurance experience at the same price.
