The Redmi K30 series was originally a price holy light that could not be avoided for 1000-3000 yuan. Everyone did not expect that Redmi would turn the commemorative edition into a new "price bomb". The K30 Premium Commemorative Edition screen was upgraded to a 120Hz refresh rate, the SoC was reduced to Tianji 1000+, and the price returned to 1999 yuan.
The great sincerity in price makes all compromises can be covered up by "what else bike do you want". Besides incense, what can we say?
Parameter comparison
After all, the price is too high. There must be some choices for the K30 commemorative edition. But Redmi is really good. For example, the main camera changes from IMX686 to IMX682 (the difference is very small and hard to perceive), and the ultra wide angle changes from OV13B10 to HI1337 with lower cost. The AG frosted glass design has been cancelled, and the whole system has become smooth (another saving).
The Snapdragon 865 has been replaced by Tianji 1000+. At the same time, due to the support of Tianji 1000+, the memory and flash memory have changed from LPDDR5+UFS 3.1 to LPDDR4x+UFS 2.1 (our version 8+512 is actually UFS 3.0 flash memory), which saves a lot of costs (MTK Yes!).
Packaging accessories
Packaging of Xiaomi 10 Premium Commemorative Edition and K30 Premium Commemorative Edition
The packaging of the K30 Premium Commemorative Edition has not been upgraded because of the Premium Commemorative Edition. The accessories include an antibacterial protective case with silver ions (much easier to use than the hard case of the K30 Pro), a 33W fast charging head (old friend MDY-11-EX), a data cable, a clip, and a Type-C to 3.5mm adapter cable.
appearance
The main appearance change of K30 Super Commemorative Edition is 0.2mm thicker and 5g lighter. There is no frosting design in the whole series, so the light color models will be better managed now (the fingerprints are not so obvious).
Pop up camera, true full screen with "no holes, bangs and water drops", infrared transmitter and dual speakers (only the volume and opening direction are asymmetric). Unfortunately, the extremely advanced 3.5mm interface has been cancelled.
Appearance comparison
The purple one is K30 Pro zoom version (the appearance is the same as K30 Pro), and the white one is K30 Super Commemorative Edition
The purple one is K30 Pro zoom version (the appearance is the same as K30 Pro). Except for color and surface treatment, the back cover is almost the same. The side antenna strip is almost the same except that the top antenna strip is slightly displaced.
The main difference lies in the front. The receiver slot of the K30 Super Commemorative Edition is wider than that of the K30 Pro (in the upper left corner, the purple version is the K30 Pro zoom version).
The lower corner of K30 Super Commemorative Edition is more square than that of K30 Pro. However, the screen fillet is similar to that of K30 Pro, which will be a little discordant if you look carefully. However, the gap is very small. The protective shells of the two machines can be applied to each other.
Left K30 Pro, right K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition
There is a gap between the screens themselves. Although they are all Samsung E3 AMOLED screens, the K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition with a 120Hz refresh rate lacks advanced mode (unable to fine tune) in its color style options, and also eliminates the anti flicker function (no DC like dimming, comfortable? Low-frequency PWM, comfortable?). According to existing information, It is rumored that there will be no OTA anti flicker function in the future (it is said that the color and uniformity will be too ugly).
Fortunately, the K30 Super Commemorative Edition is better than the K30 Pro in terms of both the brightness value and the degree of flash. Actually, the K30 Pro is warmer and redder, while the K30 Ultimate Memorial Edition is blue-green, but the differences are small. This screen is quite comfortable in appearance, especially with 120Hz fragrance addition.

The K30 Super Commemorative Edition has the same screen size as the Xiaomi 10 series, but the K30 series screen (1080 * 2400) has 60 pixels more vertically than the latter, and the screen and body are thinner and longer.
Contrary to many people's expectations, the chin width of the K30 series is very close to that of the Xiaomi 10 series, both relatively narrow, close to that of the iPhone, and slightly wider than that of the X50 Pro+(which naturally can't be compared with that of Note10).
performance
The CPU of Tianji 1000+is 4 × [email protected] +4× [email protected] ， The GPU is Mali-G77MC9 and supports up to LPDDR4x+UFS 2.1.
How strong is the performance? It is second only to Snapdragon 865/865+. Whether CPU or GPU, even Kirin 990 is not its competitor.
Because the firmware of K30 Super Commemorative Edition currently blocks GeekBench, GFXBench and 3DMark, the approximate score can refer to the iQOO Z1 of SoC.
The CPU performance of K30 Super Commemorative Edition is somehow better than that of iQOO Z1, and even surpasses Snapdragon 865+in Pi test (I always feel that there is something wrong, so I need to evaluate it carefully and study it slowly). The performance released by Redmi is already very good.
In the GPU test, the K30 Super Commemorative Edition cannot run for the time being. Please refer to the score of Z1 here
Flash speed
Memory: Up to 4x16 bit LPDDR4x@1866MHz The next Tianji 820 series has a frequency of 2133MHz, but only 2x16-bit.
Flash memory: The Redmi is very interesting here. The 512GB version of the top configuration is Kioxia (the former Toshiba, our specific model is THGJFCT2T84BAKB0100). However, Tianji 1000+can only support UFS 2.1, so the speed is only at the level of UFS 2.1. Our 512GB iQOO Z1 is not as good as the 256GB iQOO Z1 even for continuous read and write, but random write is quite strong.
In actual use, application installation and game loading are only slightly slower than Xiaomi 10 Memorial Edition of Snapdragon 865. The benchmark performance is still there. However, when the desktop slides, the core of the K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition is below 2.0G most of the time. In the case of application switching, negative screen and the like, whether the frame should be dropped or not, the 120Hz animation maniac MIUI 12 animation should be processed. The pressure is really high, and it needs more active regulation on OTA.
photograph
The K30 Super Commemorative Edition basically applies the camera settings of the K30 Pro, but the main camera and ultra wide sensor are slightly degraded:
Main camera IMX6826400W pixel, 1/1.7 inch, unit pixel 0.8 μ m, 4-in-1 output;
Ultra wide angle is HI13371300W, 119 degrees wide angle (K30 Pro is 123 degrees);
The long focus macro maintains S5K5E9500W pixels.
Main camera
Super wide-angle
2x zoom (actually the main digital zoom)
For the time being, there are only K30 Pro and K30 Super Commemorative Edition on the earth, which have a long focal length that is "invincible in the universe, capable of shooting sub pixels on the screen, and very fun", which is very suitable for children to broaden their horizons and the daily struggles of the geeks.
From the temporary experience, the gap between the main camera and the ultra wide-angle camera and the K30 Pro series is not very obvious, and the actual gap can only be determined through subsequent evaluation.
charge
K30 Super Commemorative Edition supports 33W fast charging, and the actual maximum power is about 26.5W. Basically, it runs at the speed of 10% power every 5 minutes, 11% in 5 minutes, 21% in 10 minutes, 30% in 15 minutes, about 60% in half an hour, and fully charged in 8 minutes in 1 hour. The normal 30W fast charging level is slightly lower than the mainstream in the flagship, just enough to see the level (we seem to have higher requirements for 1999).
Endurance
The K30 Super Commemorative Battery has shrunk from 4700mAh of K30 Pro series to 4500mAh. But even if 120Hz is forced on, the impact on the endurance is not as great as that of the Xiaomi 10 Super Commemorative Edition (if 60Hz is switched back, the power consumption of the game is only 5%), and the performance is better than expected.
other
Vibrating motor: similar to K30 Pro, linear motor roars.
Fingerprint identification: the identification position is slightly lower than K30 Pro, but still higher than the normal model. The recognition speed and angle requirements of the two sets are similar.
Dual speakers: the sound direction on both sides is different, and the top is the earpiece. The volume must be different. The volume and sound quality must not be as good as that of Xiaomi 10, but it is OK enough.
summary
The performance, photographing, charging and endurance that I have seen for the time being have some trade-offs (shrinkage), but in addition to the performance, the trade-off range is hard to detect. And 1999 yuan, what kind of bike? One last slogan: MTK YES！
