Taking into account power consumption and display, 1.5K screen will explode? Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is off to a good start

#Redmik50# Previously, as the ultimate masterpiece of the Redmi K50 universe, the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition was successfully released, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ chip and 120W super fast charge, which was well received by users from all walks of life. However, what is surprising is that the 1.5K screen, which has been controversial before, did not have a bad review after it was listed, but the overall evaluation was good. It can be said that the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition has become the first person to "eat crabs", and it is also a new spoiler at the price of 3,000 yuan. Judging from the current consumer feedback, the 1.5K screen of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is comfortable to watch videos, play games smoothly, and take into account display and power consumption. , and because of this, the investment in domestic 1.5K screens has also gradually increased. 1.5K screens will explode collectively in the second half of the year, or will become the mainstream. According to the well-known digital blogger @Digital Chat Station, “Major manufacturers will use 1.5K high-frequency dimming domestic flexible screens on a large scale, mainly used in mid-to-high-end and On the sub-flagship fuselage, a lot is planned from the end of the year to next year.” It can be seen that in the future, the screen with 1.5K resolution may become the mainstream of domestic smartphones. At present, BOE has also brought its own flexible screen like drill row, in addition to supporting LTPO adjustment and high-frequency PWM dimming of up to 2160Hz In addition, the overall visual effect has been improved by 20%. According to previous exposures, OPPO and OnePlus have obtained the relevant screen parts, which can be arranged on the new machine soon. Of course, the 1.5K screen is still quite controversial now, because compared to the traditional 1080P and 2K screens, the 1.5K screen is a bit nondescript. Take this screen on the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition for example, the resolution is 2712X1220 From a practical point of view, it is quite good. After all, the 1080P screen is lacking in fineness, which is already a consensus, but the fineness of the 2K screen is achieved, there is still some waste in the display effect, and even power consumption is increased. In addition, the higher resolution screen not only affects the display effect and power consumption, but also affects the daily performance experience. According to the previous test results of Wild Life Extreme, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is a lot better than the 12S Ultra , but switching to the off-screen WLE Unlimited, the iPhone13 Pro Max is only a little better than the 12S Ultra, which is in line with the level of the Snapdragon 8+ chip GPU, and the theoretical performance is close to the full-blooded version of the A15, but under the 2K screen performance is slightly underwhelming. However, when you switch to the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition, the results may be completely different. After all, the screen resolution of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is 2712X1220, which is almost the same as the 2778X1284 resolution of the iPhone13 ProMax, and the performance can be almost the same. The Redmi K50 Extreme Edition is powerful in performance release. In fact, Redmi is not the first company to customize the screen resolution. Strictly speaking, Xiaomi is not the first company to customize the screen resolution. Among the mainstream manufacturers, the first to try a screen between 1080P and 2K resolution is actually Apple. From the 2436X1125 resolution of the iPhoneX to the 2778X1284 resolution of the iPhone13 ProMax, Apple has created a total of 4 screens with a resolution higher than 1080P and lower than 2K in five years, which is similar to the popular 1.5K resolution today. The biggest reason why Apple does this is because of the display effect. After the iPhone X, Apple began to use OLED screens on a large scale. Users who have a little understanding of the screen know that most of the pixel arrangement of the OLED screen is actually damaged. . If the 1080P short-side specification is the same as the iPhone8 Plus, the PPI of the iPhoneX may be lower than that of the iPhone8 Plus, which is obviously not conducive to the promotion and user experience, so the screen Apple chose to customize the 1.5K resolution screen. The purpose is to differentiate it from entry-level products. After Apple did this, the first manufacturer to follow up was actually the old rival Huawei. On the Mate30 Pro, we saw this 6.53-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2400X1176 and a PPI of 409. Later The P50 Pro has reached 2700X1228, and the PPI is as high as 449. Huawei's behavior has given itself a very good reputation, which ensures the display effect while saving power consumption and improving performance. Not only a number of manufacturers, but also large-scale use of 1.5K-like resolution screens, there have also been many such "non-mainstream" resolution mobile phone screens born before. The first is the FindX2 Pro of the green factory OPPO in the past two years. It is equipped with a 3168X1440 screen, which is the 3K resolution screen announced at the time. Unfortunately, it failed to persist and returned to the mainstream on the next-generation FindX5. 2K resolution screen. The second is the "belief" in mobile phones, Sony, which has launched many mobile phones with true 4K screens, a number of XperiaZ Premium series mobile phone products, the resolution is 2160X3840, and it is still an LCD screen, PPI has reached an astonishing 801, even later After the Xperia 1 was replaced with an OLED screen, the pixel density PPI can also reach about 640, but although the screen is very delicate, the result is the battery life of "diaper insipidus" and the drag on performance, which can be called a bad example. . If you want the screen to display well, you need to look at it comprehensively. From the current point of view, it is still too early to say whether the 1.5K screen will become the mainstream in the future, but what we see now is that, at least in the announcement, the red The 1.5K screen of the Mi K50 Extreme Edition has already "winned", which has caused extensive discussions among major forums and users. It has even spread to the laptop circle, successfully breaking the circle in unexpected ways. However, as a consumer, you don't need to care too much about the 1080P, 1.5K or even 2K screen on the announcement. After all, the screen is seen with our eyes, and the numbers can't explain anything. In addition, in addition to the resolution, the screen also has comprehensive factors such as color, eye protection optimization, refresh rate, touch sampling rate, etc., in order to judge whether it is an excellent screen. As for whether the final 1.5K can become the mainstream, it is also necessary to From the perspective of consumers' acceptance of the fineness of the screen, at present, the screen of the Redmi K50 Extreme Edition can be regarded as a good start for the entire industry.
