Gaming Performance

In the game testing session, we used the three popular mainstream mobile games “Glory of the King”, “Peace Elite” and “Yuan Shen” in an office environment with a room temperature of 21 degrees Celsius to test at the highest frame rate and record The frame rate of the game, the maximum temperature of the front and back of the mobile phone, and the performance of power consumption.

1. Glory of Kings

The first is the mobile game Glory of Kings. With a very high frame rate and ultra-high resolution, the game runs at a maximum of 120FPS. After a round of intense team battles for nearly 16 minutes, the frame rate of the entire game is as stable as a straight line. The average frame rate is maintained at 119.2 FPS, and the frame rate variance is stable at 1.9.

Next, let’s look at the power consumption performance. The average power consumption of the lower-load Honor of Kings is only 3.57W.

In terms of temperature, the highest temperature on the front of the fuselage is 33.6 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature on the back of the fuselage is 33.2 degrees Celsius. Holding it with both hands does not cause irritation due to overheating, but only a warm feeling.

2. Peace Elite

In the Peace Elite mobile game, when the smooth picture quality + 90 frame mode is turned on, the frame rate fluctuation is slightly more severe, but the range is not too large. The average frame rate is maintained at 88.9 FPS, and the frame rate variance is 3.4. The whole game is also considered Very smooth.

In terms of power consumption, the game for nearly 20 minutes only consumes close to 4W.

In terms of temperature, the highest temperature on the front of the fuselage is 35.2 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature on the back of the fuselage is 33.7 degrees Celsius. The high-heat area is mainly concentrated in the camera area. When holding the phone horizontally during the game, it is located in the lower left corner. When moving the character, it will feel slightly hot, but not affect the progress of the game.

3. Original God

The last is the hardware killer Yuanshin. With the highest image quality + 60 frame mode, after nearly 15 minutes of the game, there will be some fluctuations when killing monsters and zooming in, but the overall frame rate is relatively stable, maintaining at 59.7FPS, frame rate variance of 2.2.

In terms of power consumption, the average power consumption of a 15-minute game is 5.5W, which can be regarded as the daily level of the Snapdragon 8+.

Finally, let’s look at the temperature. The highest temperature on the front of the fuselage is 39.2 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature on the back of the fuselage is 39.2 degrees Celsius. Holding the phone with both hands will feel obvious heat, but it’s good to avoid the heating area.

Cameras

The Redmi K60 has a rear three-camera module, of which the main camera uses a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B10 sensor.

The OmniVision OV08D10 sensor with an ultra-wide angle of 8 megapixels.

There is also a 2-megapixel macro lens.

Main camera

In the daytime scene, the weather at that time was gloomy, but the proofs taken by Redmi K60 are more accurate in color reproduction, and the high-rise buildings and the sky behind them have a sense of layering.

Secondly, the proofs of the Redmi K60 did not take a very dark picture due to the weather, and these proofs are relatively transparent as a whole.

In terms of night scenes, thanks to the OIS optical image stabilization, the Redmi K60 is able to cope with scenes with complex lighting after a long exposure. Whether it is the restoration of colors or the suppression of highlights, the original picture can be displayed.

Ultra Wide Angle

In the ultra-wide-angle part, the color performance is consistent with that of the main camera, and the distortion on both sides of the screen is well-controlled. It is very suitable for shooting a wide architectural space and showing the tension of the photo.

The ultra-wide-angle lens also supports shooting in night scene mode. Although there will be slight astigmatism under pure white light, the overall performance is acceptable.

Macro

Redmi K60 is also equipped with a 2-megapixel macro lens, which plays a certain role in capturing the texture of close-up objects and small fonts.

Snapshot Camera

With Xiaomi Imaging Brain 2.0 technology, the underlying algorithm loading, calculation speed and snapshot logic have been greatly optimized, and the snapshot camera function has also been brought to the Redmi K60. Press the shutter button in the camera interface in quick succession to Take continuous pictures in batches.

We also tested the snapshot speed of the Redmi K60. Press the shutter button continuously within 3 seconds to take 12 clear and unfuzzy samples. High production rate.

This function can capture the gradual movement process when shooting moving objects, such as birds soaring from the branches and leaves, and cars speeding on the road.

Secondly, when the mobile phone has the ability to take snapshots when you encounter beautiful scenery when traveling, you can take out the mobile phone to record the beautiful scenery on a good day, so as not to miss any wonderful moments.

Battery

Redmi K60 supports 67W wired fast charging and 30W wireless fast charging and has a built-in 5500 mAh single-cell battery. The benefits of a single battery cell are obvious, such as a safer, thinner battery, lower charging heat, and avoiding battery loss.

Wired Charging Test

The Redmi K60 starts to charge from 5% of the power, then charges to 37% in 10 minutes, 63% in 20 minutes, 85% in half an hour, and enters the protection charging mode after reaching 90%, and the speed slows down significantly. It takes a total of 47 minutes to fully charge.

Wireless Charging Test

We use a 30W Redmi wireless charger to conduct a wireless charging test on the Redmi K60, starting from 5%, charging to 22% in 10 minutes, charging to 56% in half an hour, and fully charging takes 65 minutes.

30W wireless charging, although the speed cannot be compared with wired charging, considering that the wireless charging function is the first time Redmi has equipped it, it is completely sufficient for working in the office or sleeping at night.

Endurance test

For the battery life test, we use a professional battery life test tool – the battery dog ​​produced by Kuai Technology.

In terms of test items, we chose the limit battery life test and checked all the test items including CPU high voltage, CPU multi-threading, AI recognition, picture browsing, video playback, and web browsing to simulate user usage scenarios and restore the real load to the greatest extent. Infinitely close to the real power consumption.

We adjusted the screen refresh rate of the Redmi K60 to adaptive, adjusted the brightness to 50% manually, and conducted a battery life test t at 2K resolution. After testing, it takes 9 hours and 40 minutes for the Redmi K60 to drain from 100% to 1%, which can fully meet the daily use of daily users.
