Redmi K50 Extreme Edition review

all along,Redmi K series flagships are very cost-effective,Also has a place in the 2K-3K market,It has become an important reference for many users when purchasing。Redmi's K series is very close to Xiaomi's orthodox digital flagship series in all aspects,But the price is often much lower,As a result, users who bought Xiaomi's digital flagship are always jokingly called "backstabbed"。And the just-launched Redmi K50 Extreme Edition lets us see this familiar scene again,It's just that it wasn't Xiaomi that was backstabbed this time.,But its own Redmi K50 Pro 。

In fact, I thought so at the beginning,After all, you said you were called the "Extreme Edition",The price is still the same as the Pro version,You are not stealing your brother's job, what is it? What do you think of those who bought the Redmi K50 Pro before? But the author has used the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition for a while.,I'm starting to understand why Redmi only priced it at 2999CNY,Because it really isn't any more powerful than the K50 Pro,More still in the middle,Don't be fooled by the name "Extreme Edition"。

Ado,Next, let's have a plate of this Redmi K50 Extreme Edition ,I'm sure you'll understand what I'm talking about after reading it。

Redmi K50 Extreme Edition

performance

Performance is one of the most prominent advantages of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition,This is what I think is the best thing about this phone.,It is also an important reason why most users choose this phone。

Redmi K50 Extreme Edition uses the latest Snapdragon 8+ processor,UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5 are also standard,AnTuTu can easily run to 1.06 million,In comparison, the Redmi K50 Pro is only about 1 million,The improvement on paper is quite obvious.,Is it possible to maintain a good experience in the game?,Depends on the actual situation。

Here the author selects two games, "Glory of the King" and "Yuan Shen".,The picture quality is the highest picture quality at the maximum frame rate.,Full connection to office WiFi,Room temperature around 25°C。

First, in "Glory of the King", Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is very easy to handle,The average frame rate is above 120 frames,The frame rate curve is basically a straight line,minimum wave,The same is true in actual experience,No obvious frame drops。

Next is "Original God",to be frank, The performance of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition surprised the author。We have tested a lot of Snapdragon 8/8+ phones before,Professional gaming flagship,high-end flagship,There are also performance-oriented products like the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is not the best,But the gaming experience is not bad,30The frame rate of “Genshin Impact” can be basically stabilized at around 60 frames per minute,Several of the more obvious stutters,Or did the author touch the menu bar by mistake?,cause the screen to pop out。It's safe to say, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is almost one of the best mobile phones to play “Genshin Impact” at this stage,This is undeniable。

Although the game is stable,However, the temperature of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is not low when playing games,30minutes after game,The maximum temperature of the rear shell of the fuselage is 47.5 ℃。It should be noted,The current indoor temperature (25°C) is lower than before,But the temperature of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition still exceeds expectations,Fortunately, except for the core area,The temperature of most areas of the back shell and the middle frame of the mobile phone is acceptable,At least it's not hot,The impact on the hand feel is not particularly big。

Purely in terms of performance experience, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is better than Redmi K50 Pro, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition has a good gaming experience,Whether it is the king or the original god, it can be controlled smoothly,If you only change the machine from a performance point of view,The author naturally recommends the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition 。

Image aspect, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition rear 108 million main camera,Support OIS optical image stabilization,The sensor is Samsung HM6,Size 1/1.67 inch,The secondary camera is 8 million super wide-angle and a 2 million "tactical" macro lens。This configuration is mainly based on the "100 million pixel main camera",Able to meet daily photography needs,But if you want to go further,more difficult。Talking is useless,Let's take a look at the actual proofs.。

Redmi K50 Extreme Edition The main camera proofs during the day are slightly whitened,The picture is slightly exposed,But the picture quality is ok,After all, 100 million pixels,After all-in-one, it is also composed of more than 10 million resolutions,Nothing to pick on the details。It's just that you may still need to follow some light when shooting,Or manually press the highlight,will perform better。

night view, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition main camera performance is also OK,especially in malls、Pedestrian street, where the light is relatively abundant, The color of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is accurate,The picture is also very clean,In addition, the suppression of highlights is also in line with the level of this positioning product,However, in some low-light situations, The performance of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is a bit inferior,Not only began to appear visible noise,I can't hold the lights.,Shooting against lights is prone to glare,The smearing feeling will be heavy。

Compared to the main camera,The other two lenses are more "improvable",800Wan's ultra-wide-angle is not the best among its flagships,What's more, there is a 2 million make-up macro。Of course,Similar configuration combinations are relatively common,Not only the Redmi family is using this year,But if this is Redmi K50 or Redmi K50 Pro ,i can understand,But since it is called "Extreme Edition",Isn't that a little conservative?

can also see,Redmi is also really restrained on the pricing of the Extreme Edition,Thinking about it, I also know that these camera configurations that "can't open the gap" really can't support the "price increase"。

battery life and screen

The Redmi K50 Extreme Edition still continues the good battery life and charging performance of the Redmi K series flagship phones,Built-in 5000mAh capacity battery,Support 120W super flash charge,Both important parameters are high specification,especially charging,120W is fast enough,Fully charge your phone in less than 20 minutes,The charging experience is basically not overturned。

battery life,Because of the 1.5K screen,Compared with the K50 Pro's 2K screen, it still saves a lot of power。From the actual test, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition 55% of the battery remains after 5 hours of heavy testing,This score is among the Snapdragon 8+ models we have tested,a relatively advanced level,At the same time, it is also higher than its own brother Redmi K50 Pro 。(test environment:25℃ at room temperature,phone volume、50% screen brightness,Smart refresh rate,turn off bluetooth,position,Connect to office WiFi)

In addition to powerful charging, Another big selling point of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is the 1.5K straight screen,It's also a big point of contention。On the bright side,1.5K is indeed more power efficient,This can also be seen from the above endurance test.。But for users,After all, its brother Redmi K50 Pro has already used a 2K screen,As the "Extreme Edition", it is a bit unreasonable to use a lower specification screen。Fortunately, in daily use,If you don't look carefully,1.5The difference between K and 2K is not very obvious,Overall pretty good,It is also a very good domestic OLED screen。

Appearance design, Redmi K50 Extreme Edition does not continue the design style of Redmi K50,It's more like the Xiaomi Mi 12 series,The appearance is not low,But the plastic middle frame is generally polished,The texture is a little off,Has a strong plastic feel。

be honest,Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is a very good model,Snapdragon 8+、1.5K screen、The 100-megapixel main camera is a bright spot,It also belongs to the recommended category among the models of the same price.。

But everything is afraid of comparison,Just as Xiaomi phones are often "backstabbed" by Redmi,The biggest rival of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is also its own Redmi K50 Pro。For most users,The "Extreme Edition" is not like the Supreme,The starting price is the same as the Pro version,It's hard not to compare the two together when choosing a machine。

But the Redmi K50 Pro itself is also a well-balanced model in every way,Due to the early release,Now there is a greater advantage in e-commerce prices,The price/performance ratio even exceeds that of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition by a lot,In this situation,How many consumers will still insist on choosing the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition?
