Checkpoint master, Redmi K60 evaluation: Snapdragon 8+and 30W wireless charging from 2499 yuan

The Redmi K60 series will be released on December 27, 2022. The price of the Redmi K60 with 3GHz Snapdragon 8+, 2K Chinastar OLED screen, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 5500mAh battery, 30W wireless charging in the nearby price range for the first time will start at 2499 yuan.

K60 and K60 Pro, mainly SoC, main camera, battery capacity and wired fast charge are different, and other parts are highly similar, so there are a lot of mutual references in the evaluation (appearance/screen/photography), please jump as required.


parameter

Personally, at the current price, the Redmi K60 is more sweet. The main reason is that the performance, fast charging and main camera are weaker than K60 Pro, but the battery is larger, and the price is 800 to 1000 yuan lower than K60 Pro. The price of K50 Premium has been reduced after all.

  • Moyu, Qingxue and Youmang (green) are all glass versions. Pure leather clear blue, as its name implies, is a pure leather version (exclusive color matching for K60). Appearance and size are very close to K60 Pro, 162.78x75.44mm. Glass plate 8.59mm, 204g. Plain leather version 8.79mm, 199g weight.

  • The same 6.67 inch 120Hz 2K CSOT C6 OLED, drill like arrangement, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM modulation, 3200x1440480Hz touch sampling, global peak 1000 nits, local peak 1400 nits.

  • 3GHz Snapdragon 8+, 5000mm ² Giant VC soaking plate, LPDDR5+UFS 3.1.

  • 5500mAh battery+67W wired+30W wireless. Infrared+NFC, 1012+1216 double lift, Raytheon 0809 X-axis linear motor.

  • Front 1600W, OV16A1Q, 1 μ m。 Main camera 6400W, OV64B40, 0.7 μ m. 1/2 ", F1.79+OIS. Ultra wide angle 800W, OV08D, 1.12 μ m. 1/4 ". Equipped with 200W micro pitch.

8+128 version of Redmi K60 is 2499 yuan, 8+256 version is 2699 yuan, 12+256 version is 2999 yuan, 12+512 version is 3299 yuan, 16+512 version is 3599 yuan


Appearance&feel&fingerprint identification&external display&vibration

The only difference between packaging and K60 Pro is that the word Pro is missing in the upper right corner and the model name in the lower left corner is different.

Although the 67W fast charging head of the Redmi K60 is still the ancestral MDY-12-EF, the printing font has changed. Magic change A, remember to keep the original wire.

In the era of Redmi K50, the characters on the camera matrix can be used to distinguish models. In the K60 era, the appearance of the standard version and the Pro version is really the same.

If you want people to recognize your hand as K60 or K60 Pro at a glance, remember to choose the plain leather version (K60 exclusive plain leather blue, K60 Pro exclusive plain leather champion version).

In the eyes of the owner of Shenzhen Bay No.1, Youmang (AG glass), Qingxue and Qinglan are more attractive, while the black Moyu version (glossy glass) and the champion version are somewhat like game phones.

All K60 series are 1012+1216 double Yang, Raytheon 0809 X-axis linear motor, convergent top short focus optical fingerprint, NFC and infrared transmitter, but the standard eunuch loses dual frequency GPS.

  • feel: Curved glass back cover+plastic middle frame+screen bracket, not as supportive as K50 series. The middle frame is more clean and tidy than K50 series, but it is a bit awkward.

  • External release: The middle frame has holes for the upper speakers, and the sound field is centered. The volume is medium to high, and the rear cover resonance is strong when the volume is high. The sound quality is average, and the sound quality of the lower speaker is obviously better than that of the upper speaker.

  • Vibration: The old friend 0809 X-axis motor, the actual vibration strength and tightness are average.

  • Fingerprint: Suddenly return to optical fingerprint, short focus scheme, low position, normal speed and recognition rate. However, I prefer the quick, accurate and ruthless side solid fingerprint.


Screen: the top of 2K domestic OLED

Vivid mode sRGB color standard


Primary color mode sRGB color standard


Redmi K60/K60 Pro is the top of domestic OLED: 6.67 inch 120Hz 2K CSOT C6 OLED, drill like array, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM modulation, 3200x1440480Hz touch sampling (touch IC on the ceiling), global peak 1000 nits, local peak 1400 nits.

The 2K resolution domestic OLED has not appeared on mainstream mobile phones for a long time. Previously, it was the 2K BOE Little Yellow Duck of Huawei Mate 20 Pro in 2018 and the Black Shark 3 Pro 2K giant screen that few people cared about in 2020.

The 1220P/"1.5K" screen of the Redmi K50 premium version, which is a mixed product of CStar C4/Tianma T7, will be available in August 2022. Unexpectedly, four months later, the 2000 price range of mobile phones will be able to use the domestic 2K screen (CSG C6), and All have 12bit color depth and 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, comfortable!!!!!


The K60/K60 Pro has the same screen. Even our K60 is slightly better than the K60 Pro.

  • Brightness/uniformity is sufficient: In fact, the full screen brightness of this CSOT 2K screen exceeds that of Samsung E4 and E5, and the local peak value is slightly lower than that of Samsung E4 screen of K50 series. In manual full white, the K60 four corner brightness is 487/484/487/490 nits, and the K60 Pro four corner brightness is 478/471/485/482 nits. The uniformity performance is good.


  • Color level change: Color accuracy is the obvious advantage of domestic screens this year. The color accuracy of K60 series primary color mode (sRGB) and adaptive mode (P3) is at the top level, not only inferior to that of Xiaomi 12S Ultra, but also more accurate than that of Samsung E6 screen iQOO 11.

The large angle effect of K60 series screen is slightly better than Samsung E6 screen. Below 20% brightness, it will switch from 120Hz DC dimming to 1920Hz high-frequency PWM, The words "eye protection" are written vertically and horizontally.

The domestic OLED screen has caught up with Samsung in terms of resolution, brightness, uniformity, color accuracy and other hard indicators, and has high-frequency PWM dimming, The rest is mainly LTPO Variable refresh rate (but thanks to the lack of LTPO, the degree of eye protection is not compromised).

If you want to complain, it's the K60 series There is no custom APP refresh rate function like Xiaomi 13 series But this is MIUI's pot, and the domestic screen does not back.

 

Performance: 3GHz Snapdragon 8+

The Redmi K60 is a 3GHz reduced frequency version of Snapdragon 8+, which is 5000mm in the light of its own big brother ² Huge VC soaking plate, old friend LPDDR5 memory+UFS 3.1 flash memory.

The 3GHz frequency reduced version of Snapdragon 8+TSMC 4nm process has the same CPU frequency as Samsung's 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, both 3GHz X2+3x2.5GHz A710+4x1.8GHz A510. The dragon 8+with 3.2GHz blood is 3.2GHz+3x 2.75GHz+4x2GHz. However, both GPUs are 900MHz Adreno 730.

The 3GHz Snapdragon 8+has replaced the original position of Tianji 8100. It is used by Glory 80 Pro, OPPO Reno9 Pro+, OPPO Find N2 and Redmi K60.

The room temperature is 19 ℃, the humidity is 48%, the screen brightness is 200 nits, the performance mode, the stability of Redmi K60 is 99.7% when tested at 3DMark Wild Life Ulimited; Wild Life Extreme Ulimited test, stability 85.9%. Thermal stability is good, but slightly lower than expected.


Then I looked at the temperature. The highest temperature was 41.1 degrees. It was a temperature controlled pot

After switching to the normal mode, even if the room temperature rises to 24 degrees, there is still 99.6% stability in the Wild Life Extreme Ulimited test, but the cost is that the performance output decreases from 2700 points to 2100 points, and the GPU default scheduling is obviously conservative.


  • The CPU and GPU of the Redmi K60 are functioning normally It is very similar to OPPO Find N2 of the same SoC, but the random read/write performance of the flash memory of Xiaomi/Redmi is better.

  • In fact, the multi-core CPU performance of the reduced frequency version of Snapdragon 8+cannot win the Tianji 8100/Tianji 8200. However, because the single core performance is more than 20% better, and does not need the same requirements for tuning as Fage platform, the daily fluency of K60 is higher than that of K50.

  • The GPU is the same as the Bloody Snapdragon 8+. The nearly doubled GPU performance makes Tianji 8100 hard to find, which is a huge benefit to the game.

  • and In terms of actual CPU scheduling, the Redmi K60 is surprisingly conservative. In the performance mode, when the APP switches (not only for the first time), it can fully open 8 cores, which is normal and should be, but the daily opening and overloading of the APP are large core 2.8G+medium core 2.3G.

I can see a question mark slowly. The 3GHz Snapdragon 8+can run freely. I don't know the MIUI team and TSMC 4nm+5000mm ² Is there any misunderstanding between VC soaking plates.



Although the current performance of Snapdragon 8+and the daily fluency of MIUI 14 and Redmi K60 are all right, let WeChat add more weight to these 3A masterpieces for another half a year, plus the impact of summer temperature, and then you may have to manually open the performance mode. I hope Jin Fan can hurry to OTA.


Endurance and charging: 2499 yuan can be charged wirelessly!

The Redmi K60 maintains a 5500mAh battery. After 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR HD+extreme frames+anti aliasing), 30 minutes of 1080P video playback at station B, 30 minutes of microblog short video, 30 minutes of Wi Fi and 5G surfing, and a total of 2.5 hours of endurance testing, the remaining power is 78%.

The endurance performance was excellent, but it failed to surpass K50 (Tianji 8100 is awesome!). This is the 3GHz Snapdragon 8+, and the daily scheduling frequency of MIUI is low, which makes us more suspicious of whether the screen power consumption is high. But after all, there is 1920Hz PWM dimming, and there is also a buff that supports domestic products. The power consumption is slightly higher. I also choose to forgive it.


The Redmi K60 is a 5500mAh battery+67W fast charge, with an actual peak value of 55.7W.


The 67W fast charge of the Redmi K60 is more conservative than that of the K50, and it will be full and disconnected in 53 minutes.

The 30W wireless charge has a low power, but it can maintain the input power of 30-34W for a long time (the actual power of the mobile phone will be lower after deducting the wireless charge loss). But it's also better than the iPhone Fast charging, no problem with practicability (Although 24 ℃ room temperature will intermittently fluctuate between 34W and 24W).

The Redmi K60 series can be compatible with Xiaomi's previous 50W vertical wireless charger, but the vertical placement is not very stable, and the horizontal placement is OK, which is very metaphysical.

The price of the Redmi 30W wireless charger is 149 yuan, The price is not too expensive. It can be handled. Put a wireless charger in the company, put your mobile phone on at work, and you can live a life without worrying about electricity. If the car is the owner, the perception of wireless charging will be more obvious, and the recommendation rating of wireless charging accessories will have to be adjusted to extremely high.


photograph

Everyone had expectations for the performance of OV64B, so K60 only participated in the photo comparison between K60 Pro and iQOO Neo7 racing version as a runner.

Since the photo comparison has been written independently, only some samples are shown here.

Redmi K60

  • Front 1600W, OV16A1Q, 1 μ m, 1/3.06" ,F2.45

  • Main camera 6400W, OV64B40, 0.7 μ m. 1/2 ", F1.79+OIS, 6P lens

  • Ultra wide angle 800W, OV08D, 1.12 μ m. 1/4 ", F2.2. Match with 200W tactical macro range


Redmi K60 Pro On the basis of K60, change the main camera to the IMX800 with strong 2 gears:

  • Front 1600W, OV16A1Q, 1 μ m, 1/3.06"    ,F2.45

  • Main camera 5000W, IMX800, 1 μ m. 1/1.49 ", F1.88+OIS, 6P lens

  • Ultra wide angle 800W, OV08D, 1.12 μ m. 1/4 ", F2.2. Match with 200W tactical macro range


IQOO Neo7 Racing Edition The camera specifications are also very close (so coincidentally, are you?). The main camera manufacturers are different, but they are all products of the same level:

  • 1600W,1 μ m,1/3.1",F2.45

  • 5000W,GN5,1 μ m,1/1.57",23mm,F1.88,OIS

In MIUI 14, K60 series has cameras and photo albums with character recognition. The text is automatically framed when shooting, which always makes me think that the focus is wandering.

IQOO Neo7 Racing Edition: The overall performance is slightly stronger, and the dominant advantage is not great, but the ultra wide angle algorithm is too much stronger than that of friends, which raises the average score. Continuous shooting meeting Sandwich "(partial sample algorithm processing is not complete), but the situation is slightly better than K60 Pro. The white balance is generally red and warm. The core advantage or light scene, whether it is highlight suppression (sometimes over pressing) or dark details, has great advantages. The disadvantage is still the ancestral painting+sharpening, heavy sense of oil painting, and ordinary details. For ultra wide angle, the algorithm can quickly process mosaics, but it is one gear better than the ultra wide angle of the same specification of Redmi.

Redmi K60 Pro: Typical snapshot optimization settings have fast shutter response at the cost of serious interlacing of continuous shots (quick clicks), which can only maintain the first two or three images with complete algorithm processing. The white balance is slightly cold, a little more accurate than iQOO (but there is a certain probability that the white balance will drift at night). The main shooting performance exceeded expectations, and the overall performance was commendable. The algorithm was not heavy handed, and the picture was relatively natural. UWA is the same hardware as K60, but its algorithm is slightly stronger.

Redmi K60: The HDR and night scene algorithm of the main and auxiliary camera are not as active as K60 Pro. The OV64B with 16 million pixels output has a small main field of view, high pixels, and some noise points, which makes it very good in the daytime and light scene discrimination, but the dynamic range is tight and the dark side suffers. However, the super wide angle multi frame synthesis is not active, and it is basically bright.


summary



At the time point of January 6, 2023, the direct competitors of Redmi K60, including K50 and K60E (which is cheaper to buy) in the above table, K50 Premium Edition (the screen is a little backward, less wireless charging, but the CPU performance is stronger), iQOO Neo7 SE/Neo7 Racing Edition (only the main photo taking advantage), and Ace Pro (as the K50 Premium Edition with camera enhancement, screen and appearance weakening), After all, they are all reduced in price.


The K50/K50 Pro is still a dual technology platform. The K60/K60 Pro will all go back to the Qualcomm camp (Fage said he was very good), while the Tianji 8200 (the 4nm+overclocking Tianji 8100) is "delegated" to the K60E. It can be seen from the ears that Xiaomi/Redmi is more Friendly than Qualcomm.

The starting price of Redmi K60 is 100 yuan more expensive than that of the previous generation, and the card position is accurate, not to mention the magic sabre technique, at least it has caught up with Lao Huang (It refers to the young Huang, not the old Huang who relies on the defense of the current video card pricing) The screen is stronger and more eye friendly, the performance is stronger (especially the GPU, although the scheduling is really too conservative), the practicability is OK+the only 30W wireless charger in the neighborhood. The introduction of domestic 2K screen and wireless charger can make K60 a symbol, a symbol of 2499 yuan.

As for plastic middle frame, photo and weight? Don't think about it. The wallet is the best tool to recognize the world. As we all know, the price is inversely proportional to the product strength. The lower the price, the better the texture of the middle frame, the clearer the camera, and the lighter the body. If I can reduce the price by hundreds, I will not need the glass back cover. I can feel the metal texture of the plastic frame.
