Redmi K30 Pro 5G: With Snapdragon 865, 30x Digital Zoom

Redmi K30 Pro 5G has been officially released, and it did not miss the promise of the “true flagship”: it uses a full-screen pop-up solution. The Snapdragon 865 flagship platform, 5G dual-mode, and LPDDR5 memory. This year’s flagship phone does not have standard equipment In the absence, it was also unexpected that “following the above” brought UFS 3.1, which makes UFS 3.0’s Xiaomi 10 series side, and it can be said that this phone does not completely exclude the competition with the Xiaomi brand flagship.

There are two different versions of the Redmi K30 Pro series, one is the K30 Pro and the other is the K30 Pro zoom version. Based on the former, it has enhanced image capabilities.


Design & Appearance

In this “front window swing hole” era, Redmi K30 Pro is a rare 5G flagship with a true full screen. Since the K20 Pro, the author has been thinking about the true full screen. Although no holes, no bangs, and no water droplets can indeed give users a complete and full-screen visual experience, today, this time period of 5G has brought a certain degree of difficulty to pop-up full-screen, making it in becoming a lonely landscape in 2020.

Taking the Redmi K30 Pro as an example, the number of components is 3885, which is an increase of 268% over the previous generation K20 Pro. The surge in number has made it difficult to arrange the components of the motherboard, which was originally small.


Originally, the entire motherboard was divided into two “big pits”, which led to a significant reduction in motherboard utilization.


After the motherboard is divided, the heat dissipation becomes a huge problem. The biggest advantage of the complete motherboard is that the heat dissipation is very uniform. The heat from the central heat source can be easily conducted through the entire motherboard. In the case of two “big pits” It is impossible to center the heat source, and at the same time take into account a large amount of power to ensure the battery life of 5G users.


The Redmi K30 Pro insists on continuing to use the pop-up full screen on the premise of solving the above problems. So is the pop-up front camera durable? The author is not willing to easily drop the evaluation phone in his hand, here is the official effect display.


The Redmi K30 Pro’s pop-up design can withstand the test of 300,000 bounces. If you stick to taking 100 photos every day, you can use it for more than 4 years.


Redmi K30 Pro Cameras

Redmi is inconsistent with the past Redmi and finally began to exert its power in mobile phone imaging capabilities. There are two different versions of the K30 Pro series, the K30 Pro and K30 Pro zoom versions.



1. K30 Pro: 64MP Sony IMX686 + 13MP super wide-angle lens (123 °) + 5MP telephoto macro lens (AF 3-10cm) + 2MP depth of field lens (1.75 μm).


2. Redmi K30 Pro zoom version: 64MP Sony IMX686 OIS optical image stabilization + 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens (123 °) + 8MP 30x zoom lens OIS optical image stabilization + 2MP depth of field lens (1.75 μm).


With the addition of dual optical image stabilization and a telephoto lens, it is clear that the zoom version of the image will be even better. It happened that we got the zoom version, so we started from this phone to interpret the image performance of the K30 Pro.


In addition to the 64MP main camera that needs optical image stabilization, this time the K30 Pro zoom version is also equipped with 3x optical zoom and a 30x digital zoom lens. A little jitter in the telephoto shooting will have a great impact, so the telephoto lens also Equipped with optical image stabilization.


Redmi K30 Pro Hardware

In 2020, China-US co-produced blockbusters have not blossomed, and the 5G performance flagship phone has fully blossomed.


They all use the Snapdragon 865 5G platform + X55 5G baseband without exception, and the K30 Pro is no exception. Snapdragon 865 is a new generation flagship 5G platform released by Qualcomm in early December last year. It is one of the most powerful 5G platforms in the Android camp.

As for Snapdragon 865, I believe that everyone also knows a lot. This generation has upgraded the A77 large-core CPU, the Adreno 650 GPU with upgradeable drivers, the fifth-generation Qualcomm AI Engine artificial intelligence engine with performance up to 15 TFLOPS, and the Spectra 480 with 4 times the performance. ISPs also support LPDDR5, UFS 3.1 flash memory, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, etc., and they are almost perfect in almost every aspect.


Snapdragon 865 is so powerful, it is no wonder that Lei Jun stated at the Xiaomi 10 conference that “it may be the most powerful 5G flagship processor on the planet”-Lei is always very humble, using the word “possibly”.


Compared with the flagship phone of 2019, this year’s flagship phone no longer focuses on 5G-not to say that 5G is not important, it is actually too important. So these phones all support dual-mode 5G and Wi-Fi 6, everyone agrees on this point, 5G is no longer the only bright spot.


Therefore, in addition to 5G, the 5G flagships of the above-mentioned mainstream mobile phone manufacturers have made great efforts this year in-camera, performance, battery life, and gaming. Each mobile phone has its own one or two tricks.


The K30 Pro still focuses on performance. It has accidentally enhanced the image. Just now we have shown the image performance. The next thing to say is the performance it relies on.


Battery

Whether in the Redmi era or today’s Redmi, batteries have never been an aspect to worry about. And large batteries have almost become their long-established labels.


Sure enough, the Redmi K30 Pro is equipped with a 4700 mAh battery. So its capacity is close to 5000 mAh, and it still counts as a large battery in the 5G era.


The Redmi K30 Pro is also equipped with a 33W wired fast charge on the basis of a large battery. The official said that it can be charged 100% in 63 minutes. Next, let us test the battery life and charging performance of the Redmi K30 Pro through actual measurements.


The author uses the Bilibili client to play online barrage videos, 20% volume. 70% brightness, QQ, WeChat reserved in the background, using a WiFi network. And the mobile network is in 5G state, starting from 99% power, more than 1 hour later, The remaining power is 90%, and the power consumption is 9%


QQ and WeChat are retained in the background, starting from 89% of the power. And after 1 hour, the remaining power is 77%. The power consumption is 12%. But it should be noted that the picture quality is high definition and the frame number is set to high. If you adjust the image quality and frame rate to a higher level, battery life may be reduced.

The Redmi K30 Pro is equipped with a 33W charge pump for fast charging. The paper parameters are faster than the 30W of Xiaomi 10. We actually measured the blood pressure from 15% to 95% in 50 minutes when the screen is turned on.


Redmi K30 Pro Verdict

All in all, the Redmi K30 Pro as a Snapdragon 865 flagship. The zoom version can be said to have the strongest imaging system at the same price. And a high-quality 60Hz refresh rate screen, which forms the basis of K30 Pro’s strong competitiveness. Like the previous-generation K20 Pro, the Redmi K30 Pro is Redmi’s flagship with the ultimate price/performance ratio, so you can buy with confidence.
