Tianji 1000+, 120Hz Samsung E3 OLED, when taking out this set of combo boxing, most people may guess that its starting price is as low as 2200 yuan or 2300 yuan. As a result, Xiaomi may pay homage to its original intention and directly give you a 1999. The top 8+512GB debut was set to 2499 in a frenzy. At that time, everyone shouted "really fragrant". It is no exaggeration to say that the K30 Super Commemorative Edition is actually the most exciting product for ordinary consumers at Xiaomi's 10th anniversary conference.
However, there are often many problems with the fragrance. I remember that when Meizu 16th released in 2018, Lei Jun's microblog was marked with "2698", followed by continuous shortages and missed the best sales cycle. After the release of the K30 Premium Commemorative Edition, the round after round of rush buying and out of stock caused by the high cost performance ratio really make people dream back ten years ago. Let's talk about some points that people may care about on the K30 Premium Commemorative Edition based on subjective experience+objective data.
The once uncomfortable 120Hz high brush experience
120Hz OLED should have brought an extremely smooth experience, but many users reported on the Internet that the 120Hz experience of K30 Premium Commemorative Edition was fragmented after they got the real machine. Many applications did not open 120Hz high brush, but were still limited to 60Hz.
We also met this situation when we first started. In the system setting interface and desktop sliding, some third-party applications such as Weibo and Taobao can run smoothly with a refresh rate of 120Hz, but many third-party applications such as Station B, iQIYI, Ku'an, Zhihu, etc. are locked at 60Hz, and when these applications perform the full screen gesture of returning to the home page and calling out multiple tasks, It is also operated at a 60Hz refresh rate, while the full screen gestures of the previous "white list" applications are 120Hz. This intermittent high and low refresh rate is really fragmented in the experience, and even makes people feel dizzy.
In addition, some games such as "Peace Elite" still run at 60Hz even if you break the 90 frame mode.
Because we were really unhappy with this experience, we went online to find a way to crack the global 120Hz of the K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition. Some posts mentioned an application called S20 Refresh Rate Control, which was originally used for Samsung S20 series to crack the 96Hz refresh rate. After using the K30 Ultimate Edition, some applications that originally locked 60Hz could run at 120Hz, Like Ku'an and Zhihu, but a number of applications such as Station B and IT Home are still restricted, and the game is still locked for 60 frames.
The other method is to enter application settings - application management, search for "power and performance", select "clear all data", and then switch to 120Hz mode in display settings. After such operations, all applications can run smoothly in 120Hz mode, and the game no longer locks frames. Games with adaptive refresh rates such as NBA 2K20 and Real Racing 3 can run up to 120 frames.
However, this method has a side effect, that is, the gyroscope will fail. You will find that the video software can no longer automatically scroll. Some games that need to call the gyroscope can no longer be played. After opening the built-in "compass" application, it will somehow switch you back to the 60Hz refresh rate setting. You need to manually switch 120Hz in the display settings.
Fortunately, after the firmware update of the latest version of 12.0.11 stable version, other applications and games have been able to run at 120Hz, and there will be no problem of gyroscope failure due to cracking, except that video applications such as iQIYI and Bilibili are forced to lock at 60Hz (the same setting applies to the flagship Xiaomi 10 Memorial Edition), I just hope that this kind of settings involving basic experience can be debugged when the new MIUI comes into the market next time.
How about the actual experience of Tianji 1000+?
before Love to play computer games In the first evaluation of the K30 Memorial Edition, some measured score data of the machine have been displayed, but after all, MediaTek SoC has returned to the high-end after many years. The X20/X25 series, which had a good score in those years, ran in a high load environment with severe heat and frequency reduction, and was notorious for "one core is difficult, nine cores are around", How does Tianji 1000+actually perform? I think running some large games can better reflect the situation.
First, we compared the graphic performance of Peace Elite. By default, the K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition can only open HDR HD+ultra-high (40 frames) settings. After unlocking the frame rate and image quality options with third-party tools, we ran several island map games with different settings.
The first is the limit (60 frames) frame rate+HDR high-definition image quality. Whether it can run at full frame is a benchmark for the performance of the flagship processor in the past. The K30 Pro averages 59.4 frames in a game, fluctuating 1.9 frames, and its performance is relatively smooth; However, when driving to the limit+ultra-high definition image quality, the average is 59.6 frames, and the fluctuation is 2 frames. The smoothness is even better than the former.
However, after trying 90 frame mode+HDR high-definition image quality, the upper limit of the chip's performance is reached. The average time of two runs is only about 82 frames, and the fluctuation is large. The heat dissipation pressure of the mobile phone is also very high. After a game, the measured maximum temperature of the back side is 46.3 ℃, and the maximum temperature of the front side is 49 ℃. The high temperature alarm of the mobile phone was even triggered halfway.
Then came the single player game NBA 2K20. All the special effects were turned on to the highest. This game ran twice before and after. Once, when all the games were still locked in the 60 frame limit, you could see that there was almost no fluctuation in the whole frame.
On the other hand, after 120 frames of unlocking, I was slightly surprised that I could only run to an average of 70 frames. Only the setting and pause interfaces could run full. Maybe the chip was not active in scheduling the game.
Finally, we also tested the Bright Mountains, which is a game on the surface but will not be played by anyone except for running tests. The 1080P resolution+picture quality is fully open, with an average of 47.7 frames in 10 minutes, which is close to the performance of many Snapdragon 865 models.
From the whole wave of measurement, I was slightly surprised by the performance of this Tianji 1000+on the K30 Supreme Memorial Edition. You should know that in the era of X20 and X30, MediaTek SoC was basically beaten by the competition of Snapdragon and Orion when running the game. Even the continuous performance output of a Snapdragon 625 can be better than that of the X20 with fever and frequency reduction.
The G90T launched after Fage returned to the middle and high-end market last year was not outstanding enough in terms of ultimate performance output due to the drag of the 12nm process, while the Kirin chip, which was nicknamed "Jazz doesn't play games" in the past year, has incubated 980, 810 and other models with excellent performance and power consumption; Judging from the performance of this Tianji 1000+chip this year, the chip of MediaTek may still be a little difficult to optimize, but the hard power of the process and core specifications is here, giving it room to play can still be close to the performance of Snapdragon 865.
From the market perspective, in the future, after Hisense Kirin chips are forced to exit, MediaTek will be the only one in the mid and high-end SoC market that has the strength to balance Qualcomm. The more outstanding the actual performance of its flagship chips, the more confident the manufacturer will be in continuing to purchase and use them. The more boldly Qualcomm will not dare to squeeze toothpaste, which is self-evident for its significance in promoting competition and product upgrading.

The camera configuration of the K30 Premium Commemorative Edition is basically the same as that of the K30 Pro standard edition, except that the main camera is replaced by IMX686. Previously, Io Machine had made a photo comparison between the K30 Premium Commemorative Edition and K30 Pro, and here we will talk about the subjective use feelings of the writer.
Sample:
(Ultra wide angle)
(1 time for main camera)
(2 times for main camera)
(Ultra wide angle)
(1 time for main camera)
The imaging effect during the day is OK, but the main camera and ultra wide angle are not good at detail performance and the strength of automatic HDR. Night photography is more selective in light and scene, and the performance is poor in low light environment. One problem currently exists is that the night scene mode in the latest system version does not seem to be able to perform normal multi frame synthesis, No matter what light conditions are when the shutter is pressed, the image is always directly imaged. Sometimes the image is not as straight as the normal mode. This is a commonly used camera function after all. I hope the official can repair it as soon as possible.
In fact, the 64 million IMX682 main camera and 13 million ultra wide angle camera of the K30 Premium Commemorative Edition can only be considered as the conventional configuration of the midrange computer. Instead, the 5 million pixel long focus macro lens can really highlight the differentiation.
Macro proofs:
Compared with many models, there are only 2 million pixels in the compact macro, The K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition has enough analytical power. Compared with the practice of using ultra wide angle as macro on some flagship aircraft, the long focus macro can capture more subtle images. Whether it is capturing the details of plant surfaces, bubbles on drinks or screen pixels, the image details are excellent, which gives it higher playability.
In a word, if taking photos is not your main demand for buying mobile phones, then the K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition can still be considered. Occasionally taking scenery photos can be competent, and even telephoto macro is a dessert.

In terms of battery life charging, the K30 Premium Commemorative Edition is just right, whether it is measured before or daily use experience. The 30W fast charge fully charged at 1 hour and 08 minutes can only be regarded as the level of mid tier computers. Considering the 65W flash charge that OPPO and realme have been charging for more than 30 minutes, some potential users with higher requirements for fast charge may be separated.
The sound of the dual speakers is average, but the retention of the Z-axis linear motor makes the K30 Ultimate Commemorative Edition maintain the same feeling as the flagship machine at the level of daily interaction. Previously, most of the mid-range machines with 2000 yuan or less were equipped with rotor motors, which exposed the product positioning at first hand.
summary
The K30 Premium Commemorative Edition is a mid-range product with appropriate choice and certain flagship quality. It is undoubtedly worth more, but it cannot completely replace the K30 Pro. It uses the best materials at this price point in two places with strong user perception and high use frequency - namely Tianji 1000+SoC and 120Hz Samsung E3 AMOLED. In other places, some are beyond the same price level - like the same model of K30 Pro, some are done carelessly - like a high brush experience and photo taking when you get it, and battery life is standard.
It's a pity that the realme X7 Pro next door has not pushed the price performance ratio to the extreme, so that now more than a month has passed, the rice noodles have to be snapped up or bought at a higher price.
