The smartphone market has been quite lively recently. Major mobile phone manufacturers have launched their own new flagships. Each product is very eye-catching. It has indeed attracted the attention of many consumers. At the same time, some new phones recently launched have also appeared different. Fewer best-selling models.
Xiaomi’s Redmi brand released the K40 series flagship phone on February 25. This product is one of the current popular models. The first sales in 5 minutes exceeded 300,000 units. This achievement is placed in the domestic flagship mobile phone. It's a good result.
The Redmi K40 series has been released for a while, and half a month has passed since it went on sale on March 4th. Is this phone worth buying? The following author will share the experience of Redmi K40 with everyone.
The first is the appearance. The first time I used Redmi K40, my most intuitive feeling was that the body has become lighter . The weight and thickness of the mobile phones we have used in the past year have increased. The weight of 200g is extremely annoying for many users.
The increase in the weight and thickness of mobile phones is mainly due to the arrival of 5G, which has led to some changes in the internal structure of mobile phones. As 5G consumes more power, manufacturers have equipped mobile phones with large batteries, which led to this situation.
However, Redmi K40 adjusted the internal structure of the phone, and finally kept the thickness of this phone at 7.8mm, and the weight was less than two hundred grams, only 196g. The key is that the battery capacity has not been castrated, and the large 4520mAh battery is also Can meet the daily battery life.
The biggest feeling of using Redmi K40 is that I feel more comfortable. In the past, I used a heavy mobile phone for a long time, and my hands were easily fatigued. Now this situation has indeed eased a lot.
The second is performance. The white version of Redmi K40 I got started this time is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 chip . This chip really gave me enough surprises. Although it still uses the same architecture and 7nm process as the Snapdragon 865, the CPU and The GPU frequency has increased significantly.
And the Snapdragon 870 also supports LPDDR 5 and UFS 3.1. With the maximum 12+256GB, the performance of the Redmi K40 has been fully released, and it has a stronger strength than the Snapdragon 865 mobile phone.
Then there is the screen. The reason why Redmi K40 is so popular is that one selling point is the Snapdragon 870 blessing, and the other is the screen. All K40 series use the same screen, and this specification is also extremely high.
It is understood that the screen on the Redmi K40 uses Samsung E4 luminescent material, has a 120Hz refresh rate, a 360Hz touch sampling rate, a peak screen brightness of up to 1300nits, and a contrast ratio of 5000000:1.
It can be seen that every parameter of this screen is top-notch in the mobile phone industry, and it has also obtained DisplayMate's A+ rating . At least in the official parameters, we can't find any defects.
After the author’s daily experience, I found that this screen of Redmi K40 is indeed high-quality, unique in products at the same price, and it can show a clear enough picture even when used under strong light.
The last is battery life**. The battery capacity of the Redmi K40 was mentioned earlier. The 4520mAh is indeed good enough**. The large-capacity battery can fully meet the needs of most users for a whole day, and it is not a big problem to charge once a day.
Of course, it does not matter even if it is used heavily, because the machine supports a full-blood version of 33W fast charging, which can be charged from zero to 100% within 1 hour . This speed is also acceptable, although it can’t be filled in half an hour. Mobile phone, but this price can also be understood.
These are the advantages Redmi K40, we can say that this 1999 yuan from the sale of mobile phones, enough to do the ultimate in performance, but there are some flaws in some detail.
Specifically, one is that the main camera lens is indeed castrated, the rear 48 million pixel main camera, the Sony IMX582 sensor is still slightly insufficient, fortunately Xiaomi's algorithm is powerful enough, and the algorithm can be used to improve the image quality is still very good.
The other is that the middle frame of the mobile phone is made of plastic , which may be a trade-off to save costs!
In fact, these two points of castration are not harmful. Everyone knows that Redmi itself is pursuing the ultimate cost-effectiveness. It is basically male users. The cameras of these users basically scan a code, and the mobile phone usually comes with a shell and a plastic frame. There is basically no problem.
So I understand the Redmi K40 very well. It would be better to reduce some of the costs and upgrade the performance and screen quality of the phone. These users are more easily perceivable to be the strongest in the industry, which is the most successful place for the Redmi K40.
In short, the advantages and disadvantages of this Redmi K40, which is sold from 1999 yuan, are very obvious. If you are looking for a perfect flagship, it is obviously not suitable for you, so for users with higher pursuits, I would still recommend starting Xiaomi 11 !
