After Xiaomi and Redmi split，originally belonged toMilletThe cost-effective banner is handed over to Redmi。at the same time，The image of the Xiaomi brand has become blurred，In addition to impacting the high-end annual drama，There seems to be no more memorable features。It seems to be the same for the product，As a high-end flagship, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is full of configuration，But there is no exclusive selling point worth remembering；The Redmi K50 Pro is excluding the starting price， Dimensity 9000 processor、2K high brush AMOLED screen、120W fast charging and other configurations are also impressive。
face this problem，Many netizens also joked that "Xiaomi is orthodox in Redmi"，So is this really the case? Today I will do a comprehensive comparison of these two products。
Exterior：money not in place，at a glance
for mobile，As a product that is inseparable from us every day，Whether the appearance looks good or not still greatly affects our mood of use。And for cost-effective models，This is also the easiest place to save costs。About the specific appearance of the two products，Interested friends can view previous reviews，Here we mainly take a look at the differences in the details of the two mobile phones。
Thanks to the curved screen，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro feels more rounded，The back cover of the Redmi K50 Pro is flatter。The thickness of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is 8.16mm (glass version)，Weight is 205g;The thickness of the Redmi K50 Pro is 8.48mm，Weight is 201g。On paper, there shouldn't be much difference between the two，But when you hold it in your hand, you can feel the obvious difference in the feel of the two phones.。Since the Redmi K50 Pro does not use a curved screen design，The curvature of the back cover is also relatively small，Makes it feel heavier in the hand。
besides，The combination of metal middle frame + AG frosted glass also makes Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro feel very round and smooth，by contrast，The cheapness of the plastic middle frame of the Redmi K50 Pro is more obvious，And the plastic bracket between the screen and the middle frame makes the transition not smooth enough，Fragmentation is more obvious。
The transition between the screen and the middle frame of the Mi 12 Pro is very smooth
Apart from these two obvious differences，Redmi K50 Pro uses a combination of side fingerprint + straight screen，The Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has an off-screen fingerprint + hyperboloid screen，The former is suitable for playing games but not so "advanced" in appearance，The latter is more beautiful, but the fingerprint recognition rate under the screen is not as good as the side fingerprint in some scenes，It's a matter of opinion as to which of the two is better or worse.。
while the stereo dual speakers、Infrared modules these equipment，Neither phone fell，The former is watching a movie、It can provide a good experience in entertainment scenarios such as playing games，The latter is very useful when you need to temporarily remote control some household appliances。
Overall，The Mi 12 Pro is a bit bland as a flagship，But compared to Redmi K50 Pro，You can clearly feel the sense of quality brought by the blessing of advanced craftsmanship。As for who looks better，Depends on personal preference。
performance：Flagship wafer，fairy fight
For these two phones，I believe that many friends are most concerned about the performance gap between them.。 After all, the Dimensity 9000 has already given everyone high expectations before the release of the mass-produced model.。Then let me pass the test to see whether the Snapdragon 8 and the Dimensity 9000 are stronger or weaker.。 before the test starts，We let both phones sit for half an hour，Enable performance mode，Make sure your phone's battery is above 80%。
The first is the traditional benchmark test，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro scored 956782 points on AnTuTu；Geekbench single-core score of 1196，The multi-core score is 3602 points。Redmi K50 Pro scored 957539 points on AnTuTu；Geekbench single-core score of 1301，The multi-core score is 4494 points。in the benchmark，Redmi K50 Pro has a certain degree of advantage over Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro。
And in the game test，We still choose Genshin Impact, which puts a lot of pressure on mobile phone performance, as the test project，Tested for half an hour at the setting of very high quality + 60 frames，The result is as follows：
average frame rate，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is 48.8 frames，Redmi K50 Pro is 54.8 frames。Specifically，The Redmi K50 Pro can basically maintain around 60 frames in the first 18 minutes (the 10-minute lag is caused by transmission)，Slight lag in the middle，but not obvious，Doesn't affect the game at all。Game starts to experience framerate fluctuations after 18 minutes，Frame rate drops briefly to around 40 fps，Go back to 60fps after a minute，In the game, you can feel the frame rate drop more obviously。The frame rate of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is not stable，Caton times are relatively more。
Finally, let's look at the heat，After 30 minutes of testing，The average body temperature of the Mi 12 Pro is 40.4 degrees Celsius，The average temperature of the body of the Redmi K50 Pro is 42.9 degrees Celsius。
Overall，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro in order to control the heat，Slightly conservative in performance；The more "open" performance of the Redmi K50 Pro is accompanied by more obvious heat。This also shows from the side that the impact of manufacturer tuning on performance is becoming more and more important。
image：One-sided crushing of the true flagship
About the video section，In fact, you should be able to guess the results before the test starts.。In recent years, the main selling point of flagship models is a better video experience，The cost-effective model due to cost constraints，There is not much room for improvement in this regard。
This is also verified in the configuration，The same three-camera combination，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro uses a full 50-megapixel configuration of IMX707 main camera + ultra-wide-angle + 2x telephoto，The Redmi K50 Pro uses a combination of 100-megapixel Samsung HM2 main camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens + 2-megapixel macro lens。
in the real shot，The difference between the two is also very obvious。First look at the main camera，In front of IMX707，The advantage of HM2 high pixel is not obvious；color，Redmi K50 Pro is obviously reddish，Mi 12 Pro is more real；And in the details，The smear of the Redmi K50 Pro makes the picture lose a lot of details，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has no problem in this regard。
If it is said that the main camera can be regarded as not much difference，The ultra-wide-angle lens is the one-sided crush of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro。The low pixel count and smearing make the trees of the Redmi K50 Pro almost mushy，In contrast, Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro can clearly see the texture of tree branches。color，Redmi K50 Pro inherits the problem of reddishness on the main camera，The color of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is a bit dull。
At the same time, thanks to the independent telephoto lens，in 2x mode，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro can also provide higher resolution films。Redmi K50 Pro can only be cropped with the main camera，The effect is relatively poor。
night view，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has stronger HDR power，such as branches in the background，Vaguely visible in the proofs of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro，In the Redmi K50 Pro, it almost blends with the black background。No smearing allows Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro to retain more details in the shadows，Photos look cleaner。
As one of the main directions of flagship models in recent years，Image is also one of the functions that can clearly reflect the positioning difference between Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro and Redmi K50 Pro。Compared with the camera performance of the Redmi K50 Pro thousand yuan machine，The proofs of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro have reached the average level of mainstream flagship machines。
battery life：Redmi ushered in the final counter-kill
Finally, let's take a look at the battery life and fast charging performance of the two mobile phones。 parameter，Both phones are equipped with Xiaomi's 120W fast charging technology，on the battery capacity，Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is 4600mAh，Redmi K50 Pro is 5000mAh。
First let's take a look at the fast charging performance，After draining both models to automatic shutdown，We charge it with the original charger，Timing after the phone can be turned on，During the test, the fast charging acceleration function of the two mobile phones was turned on，The measured results are as follows：
can be seen，with a larger battery，Redmi K50 Pro still takes the lead in charging by two minutes，This result is somewhat surprising。At the same time, the body temperature of the Redmi K50 Pro is slightly lower than that of the Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro in terms of touch.。
in the endurance test，Mi 12 Pro due to smaller battery，The performance is also weaker than the Redmi K50 Pro。We tested both phones using the 5-hour heavy battery life test model，5Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro has 46% remaining power after an hour ，Redmi K50 Pro is 53%。
Overall，The battery life of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro is quite satisfactory，The Redmi K50 Pro can provide a larger battery with little change in the weight and thickness of the body，Undoubtedly the performance of the first echelon in the current market。
This time, the comparison of what seems to be "Guan Gong and Qin Qiong" is here，We can easily draw a conclusion，Redmi K50 Pro is just a mid-range machine with performance comparable to flagships，The balanced performance of Xiaomi Mi 12 Pro without short boards is more in line with what a "true flagship" should look like。But such an obvious conclusion is actually like a piece of nonsense，what we should really discuss，In fact, these two phones are aimed at different groups of people。
for a long time，Flagship phones have always been constrained by the "all-rounder"。Because this is a flagship，So it should have a thin look、powerful performance、Excellent shooting ability、long battery life…… However, for many users，In fact, there is no need for such a "comprehensive and powerful" product。And the Redmi K50 Pro is precisely a response to this problem，By compromising image and appearance，Provides flagship-level powerful performance and battery life at a price of 2999CNY。For those users whose main requirement is performance，Finally no longer have to be forced to pay more for features you don't need。Hope more companies follow this trend，Meet the different personal needs of users。
