Xiaomi Redmi K50 Ultra Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Xiaomi Redmi K50 Ultra - ultra flagship with minimal problems

The sub-brand of the Chinese company Xiaomi called Redmi this year pleased fans with a significant expansion of the flagship line. In addition, each of the new products is characterized by the highest ratio of price and quality, which is a rarity even for truly experienced manufacturers. In the hero of today's review, the eminent developer tried to show his full potential, while not forgetting the need to maintain a competitive price.

The design of the novelty largely repeats that of other representatives of the K50-series, but this feature is definitely not a disadvantage. The updated camera circle looks fresh and original, as well as the colors of the rear glass panels. Most likely, the black version with a texture thought out to the smallest detail will be the most popular among buyers. The frameless 6.67-inch AMOLED screen can be called one of the best for today in terms of brightness and picture clarity. The last parameter is achieved thanks to a resolution of 3200x1440 pixels. The positive impressions of the AMOLED display are further enhanced by a 120Hz refresh rate, the presence of a high-quality oleophobic coating and, of course, DC Dimming technology. As a result, the PWM effect coefficient is small, the harm to vision tends to zero.

It is difficult to imagine technical specifications more productive than the combination of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 CPU, 8GB / 12GB of RAM and an Adreno 730 video chip. Even after 2-3 years, the most technologically advanced games will function at the maximum graphics presets. Current Android games like Genshin Impact or PUBG: New State demonstrate not only stable, but also extremely high frame rates. But with heating and energy efficiency, the processor is not going smoothly. After an hour of gaming sessions, throttling appears, although not critical, but the heating of the case is unpleasant. The 5000mAh battery provides about eight hours of active screen time. You expect more from such a battery, but fast charging at 120W smooths out negative emotions. 100% capacity is filled in 20 minutes. The internal memory has been increased to 128/256/512GB of UFS3.1 format ROM . Taking into account the gaming orientation of the Android phone and the size of applications, it is recommended to purchase any of the last two versions.

The main 50-, 8- and 2-megapixel photomodules, headed by a modified Samsung GN2 sensor with optical stabilization, guarantee photo opportunities never seen before in the K-series. Now the user can not be afraid even of night shooting, because poor lighting conditions practically do not affect the abundance of details and the correctness of color reproduction. Videos in 8K resolution are also amazing. Compliments are also possible in the direction of stereo sound , pleasing with a balanced frequency response. And although the device is not ideal (plastic edging, lack of moisture protection and wireless recharging), for the money requested by a corporation from China, this is an excellent choice for purchase and a contender for the title of hit.
