More expensive and stronger, Redmi K60 Pro evaluation: 2nd generation Snapdragon 8 from 3299 yuan

The Redmi K60 series will be released on December 27, 2022. With the second generation Snapdragon 8, 2K Chinastar OLED screen, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, the strongest IMX800 camera in the history of Redmi, and the first 30W wireless charging in the nearby price range, the Redmi K60 Pro will be priced from 3299 yuan.

K60 and K60 Pro, mainly SoC, 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, please jump as needed.

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, sink top short focus optical fingerprint, NFC and infrared transmitter. The K60 Pro has a standard version of the eunuch's 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.


Screen: the top of 2K domestic OLED

Vivid mode sRGB color standard


Primary color mode sRGB color standard


Redmi K60 Pro is the top of the domestic OLED: 6.67 inch 120Hz 2K CSOT C6 OLED, drill like array, 1920Hz high-frequency PWM modulation, 3200x1440480Hz touch sampling (touch IC of 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 mode, the four corner brightness is 478/471/485/482, and the uniformity 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: 2nd generation Snapdragon 8


Redmi K60 Pro is the second generation Snapdragon 85000mm ² Giant VC soaking plate, LPDDR5x memory+UFS 4.0 flash memory (version 8+128 is UFS 3.1).

  • Xiaomi's white list of running points is still very fierce. The Redmi K60 Pro in GeekBench is obviously better than the iQOO 11, which is also the second generation Snapdragon 8. But in the RAR test of non whitelist, there is still a big gap between iQOO 11 and iQOO 11 (basically reflecting the difference in daily scheduling).

  • GPU plays close. Flash memory reading and writing are vigorous In addition to continuous reading, it failed to win the Tianji 9200 platform, and both continuous writing and random reading and writing set new records.

Daily training is conservative: The daily information stream loading is 2.7G core+2.6G core, and the APP opening is 2.8G core+2.6G core. After the performance mode is turned on, the APP is the 3G core+2.8G core, and the information flow overload can touch the 3.2G core+2.8G core in a short time.

This reflects the adjustment difference between the orange and blue plants. The iQOO 11 daily APP opening/heavy load can be fully opened for 8 cores in a short time, but its daily main frequency is 2.5G large core+2.5G medium core.


Room temperature 18.5 ℃, 48.6% humidity, 200 nit screen brightness, Redmi K60 Pro in 3DMark Wild Life Ulimited test, stability 91.8%; Wild Life Extreme Ulimited test, stability 92%. Thermal stability slightly lower than iQOO 11


In the stability test, the maximum temperature is 47.8 ℃, which is 3 ℃ cooler than iQOO 11. "Thermal stability and temperature" is really the two ends of the seesaw.

The Redmi K60 Pro is the same as the Xiaomi 13 series. When the "GPU High Quality" is turned on, the original god can render 864P, and when the "GPU High Quality" is turned off, the standard rendering is 720P. Because the second generation Snapdragon 8 is close to conquering the original god, it gives up Loafing No test.


Endurance and charging: wireless charging milestone of 2000 yuan

The 5000mAh battery of Redmi K60 Pro has a residual power of 76% after a 2.5 hour endurance test of 30 minutes of "Peace Elite" (HDR high-definition+limited 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, respectively, at 200 nit screen brightness.

The endurance performance of the second generation Snapdragon 8 is not good, "just" close to the 1080P screen Snapdragon 8+model. We guess the reason may be related to the screen power consumption, after all, 2K resolution and no LTPO. In addition, for MIUI scheduling, although the peak frequency of APP startup and overload is not as high as that of blue factory, the daily frequency is slightly higher, which may also lead to increased power consumption.


Redmi K60 Pro wired 120W fast charge, peak power 96W.


The Redmi K60 Pro 30W wireless charge has a peak input of 34.7W (the actual power of the mobile phone is lower after deducting the wireless charge loss). Most of the time, it runs against the highest power. The system displays 100% of the power in one hour, and 16 off charges in one hour.

But this is the result of 20 degrees at room temperature. At room temperature of 24 ℃, after 17 minutes, it will periodically drop to 24W, and fluctuate in a cycle of 3 minutes.


The 120W wired charge of the Redmi K60 Pro is more conservative than that of the K50 Premium. The display is full in 22 minutes, and the charge is cut off in 27 minutes.

The 30W wireless charger has low power, but it can be maintained all the time. All time nodes are connected to the cable of iPhone , hahahaha, the damage is not high, but the insult is very strong.

The wireless charger of Redmi K60 Pro can be compatible with Xiaomi's previous 50W vertical wireless charger, but the vertical charging is not stable, and the horizontal charging 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.


Photo: The main photo is not bad

The opponent of the photo comparison is the iQOO Neo7 racing version, which has a release time and camera specifications similar to 100 million points, and takes the K60 with you.

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

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

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:

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

The Redmi K50/K50 Pro is only a mobile phone 10 months ago, and the K50 Premium has only been released for 3 months. I didn't expect the K60 series to come so quickly and be so voluminous (it is estimated that MediaTek didn't expect that the previous generation was still a dual MediaTek platform, and this generation will all return to the Qualcomm camp, and Fage said he was very smart).

The Redmi K60 Pro is 300 yuan more expensive than the previous generation, More expensive and stronger: Regardless of Xiaomi/Redmi's SoC adjustment, the Redmi K60 Pro will be able to use the domestic eye protection OLED, the second generation Snapdragon 8, IMX800 main camera and wireless charger that can step on the Samsung E4 2K screen The competitiveness of K50 Pro is significantly higher than that of K50 Pro

In fact, the domestic 2K screen is not as good as LTPO and consumes a little more power. Its overall performance is very good, and it is also enough to protect eyes. Redmi's second-generation Snapdragon 8 is a bit conservative in daily scheduling and wired charging, and its other endurance and main camera performance are commendable. It even "gives" you a 30W wireless charging that surpasses the wired charging of iPhone, There is nothing wrong with the product.


Some netizens think that it will be more practical to save the money for Wang Yibo to make metal frames. But now the glass version has 205g, and if the upper metal middle frame is used, it will be 210g. And the withdrawal of endorsement probably won't reduce the price, so I vote to maintain the status quo.

Once the metal middle frame is installed, the camera and Leica will not be able to compete with each other. Therefore, we estimate that K70/K80 is unlikely to return to the metal middle frame. We hope that reality will mercilessly hit us in the face (the K50 e-sports version at the beginning of 2022 is the last memory of Redmi's metal middle frame).

After the price reduction, the K50 premium version (weaker than the K60 Pro in all aspects, but much cheaper) and the one plus 11 (add money to replace the metal middle frame, curved screen and sub camera, and lose the wireless charger and infrared), which are competitors' products, are not fuel efficient lights. Finally, it is back to the era when consumers have to think hard and compete with each other.

K60 Pro is also the product that grabs the slogan of "Dare to skip" from friends. This time, it is the screen, SoC and wireless charger that skip. The main camera is not a weakness. It is better to choose the wallet and the features you value.
