How to choose a 2000 yuan gear gaming phone?Honor 90 GT vs Redmi K70

New year, new atmosphere, in the face of the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, change to a new mobile phone to play games, isn't it beautiful? The theme of this content is:How to choose a game mobile phone in the 2000 yuan range?The protagonists participating in the comparison are Redmi K70 and Glory90 GT,Both mobile phones are new products released at the end of last year,Don't talk nonsense,Start directly。

Gaming testing

Since it's a comparison of game orientations, let's do a game test first. In terms of hardware configuration, both phones are second-generation Snapdragon 8, and the storage specifications are also LPDDR5X+UFS4.0. Since the hardware obtained by the upstream is the same, it depends on the tuning level of each company.

In the environment of 25°C + WiFi network at room temperature, both phones were connected to the PC through a data cable and tested with PerfDog. The first is Honor of Kings, both phones can easily run up to 120 frames without any pressure. In the performance of 1% Low, Redmi has two relatively large fluctuations, and it tends to be stable in the later stage, and there is a fluctuation at 1/3 on the Honor side (1% Low represents the performance of the lowest frame rate, and the picture micro card will be caused by too long a single frame time).

Then came the Peace Elite test, where the two phones continued to soar, running at 90 fps with ease, and the performance at the lowest frame rate of 1% was relatively close.

In the face of the highest quality Genshin Impact, Redmi's average frame rate is 59.2, fluctuating by 3.3 fps, and Glory's average frame rate is 59.7 fps, fluctuating by 2.8 fps. In fact, during the experience and testing in the past few days, although there are some differences in the data, there is really no difference in the physical feeling, the foundation of the Snapdragon 8Gen2 is good enough, and the tuning of the two is also good, which can be said to be more than enough to deal with these regular games.

Then Redmi and Honor have the option of super-frame this time, and Honor of Kings and Peace Elite can be super-120 frames. In terms of Genshin Impact, Redmi can exceed 90 frames, and Honor can even exceed 120 frames. For games like Genshin Impact that don't have native 120 frames, the effect of superframe will be particularly obvious, and the smoothness will be a notch higher. For a game with 120 frames natively, Super Frame will have more advantages than native in terms of power consumption.

Let's take a look at the battery life comparison between the two:Like Weibo、Douyin、Station B These daily apps,The battery life of the two models is very close,In the face of medium-load games such as king and chicken,Honor's energy consumption is slightly better than Redmi。

Then there is the comparison of charging, Redmi and Honor are both 5000mAh batteries, but Redmi's 120W is slightly stronger than Honor's 100W, judging from the measured results, Redmi can be charged to the front desk 100% in about 27 minutes, and Honor needs about 32 minutes to charge to the front desk 100%.

In terms of signals, both new machines are targeted and optimized. Redmi's side is to join the self-developed dual-wing antenna group, improve the layout of the antenna, increase the antenna radiation area, and then there is the Mi Smart Network algorithm, which is optimized for various network scenarios. Honor uses the self-developed RF enhancement chip C1, which has been equipped with this chip in recent generations of Honor products, and it is also optimized for algorithm optimization in complex scenarios, let's take a test:

First of all, in the indoor scene that is relatively close to the router, Redmi on the left ran out of downloading 336.86Mbps and uploading 55.38Mbps, and the glory on the right is not lagging behind, with downloads reaching 299.67Mbps and uploads reaching 65.97Mbps.

Then change to the underground garage on the second floor, Redmi on the left, Glory on the right, and the test results are slightly better. We also played a few games in the basement, and in terms of game experience, the two are relatively close, there is no difference.

But when you get to the very end of the basement, there is only the last block left in the signal bar, and after another round of testing, this time the difference appears. Redmi's download here is only 0.1Mbps,PING has risen to156ms,Eating chicken running pictures are basically flashing,It's not normal to play at all。 Glory is slightly better here,The download data is5.76Mbps,PING is 77ms,The game experience can also feel Caton,But it's barely playable,If it's not a confrontation game,It should be able to play normally。

Overall, the gaming experience of the two new models, the Redmi K70 and the Honor 90 GT, is very close, and it is difficult to judge the difference. Because the hardware configuration is very strong, and the algorithm optimization of the two companies is also very mature, it can easily cope with regular load games, which everyone can rest assured. In terms of superframe for games, both companies are also working hard to get a smoother experience with lower power consumption. Redmi's advantage is that the fast charging wattage is higher, and the blood replenishment is faster, and Honor's advantage is that it lasts longer, and both have their own winners and losers. But in the signal test in extreme scenarios, Honor is slightly stronger than Redmi, and it seems that this self-developed RF enhancement chip still has something.

Screen and eye protection

Recently, mobile phone manufacturers have aimed at a new direction - eye protection, Redmi has green mountains on this side, and there is an oasis on the glory side. The parameters of these two mobile phones are also relatively close, both are 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which can not only ensure the eye protection effect, but also solve the color problem under DC-like low brightness, and the look is very comfortable.

We put both machines under the high-speed shutter, comparing the performance at low brightness, Redmi on the left, Honor on the right, it can be seen intuitively, the screen flash speed of Honor is slightly higher than that of Redmi. Of course, you can't just judge who has better eye protection based on the flicker test, after all, everyone's eye sensitivity is different.

To do this, we invited 8 colleagues and friends to experience the two phones, and finally gave a choice.

Among these 8 people, 4 are iPhone users, 2 are OPPO users, 1 is a Xiaomi user, and 1 is a Huawei user. In the three rounds of comparison of daily use, video playback, and game experience, Redmi and Honor are both five or five, each getting 4 votes. But in the comparison of experiences in a low-light environment, Honor has one more vote than Redmi, a small victory.

In addition, Redmi also cooperates with Zhongshan Eye Center of Sun Yat-sen University to improve the eye care evaluation experience, and Honor also has TÜV Rheinland's flicker-free certification, all of which are full of Buffs.

Summarizing the screen and eye protection performance of these two phones, in my personal experience, I think both phones are A+ level. In the past, after playing with mobile phones for a long time, my eyes would always be foggy, especially at night when the light was dim. However, Redmi and Honor These two models have become more comfortable after high-frequency PWM dimming up to 3840Hz, and the price of 2000+ can have such a performance, and the real number is commendable.

Imaging system

Neither of these models is a product that focuses on images, so let's talk about it briefly here, without in-depth analysis. In terms of the main camera, both are 50 million pixels, Redmi uses Light and Shadow Hunter 800, and Honor uses IMX906. Then Redmi still has 8 million wide angles and 2 million macros on its side, and Honor only has two lenses and 12 million wide angles.

This is a set of sample comparisons of the upturned sky,First of all, praise this sky is really blue,Redmi and Glory's presentation is good,The dark details of the leaves are very clear,The overall texture is also great。

Let's compare another set of stone monuments, the stone texture in the foreground is very close, but the look and feel of the leaves in the back is different, the brightness of the glory side is significantly higher than that of Redmi, and the details are more prominent.

Next is a set of large backlit contrasts, and overall, the Honor will look a little better, with bluer skies and more detail in the backlit buildings.

When shooting a multi-color picture, Redmi will pull the saturation very high, and the look is very pleasing, Honor's algorithm is the opposite, and the presentation will be more realistic, closer to what the human eye sees on the spot. As far as this set of samples is concerned, I personally would prefer Redmi, and the beautified things are better than the real thing.

In the comparison of night scenes, the overall look and feel of the Honor is a little better than that of the Redmi. The brightness of the Glory's picture and the details of the dark parts are more prominent, but the Honor also has some flaws, and after the brightness of the picture is raised, the noise in the sky will be slightly more.

For the 2000 yuan stall of the main game-oriented mobile phone,Image is naturally not the focus of the force。 However, for daily shooting needs, Redmi and Honor can still be satisfied, especially under well-lit conditions, the imaging quality can be comparable to some models4-5000 yuan. However, in low-light environments, there is room for improvement in the performance of both models.

Summarize the testimonials

We've put together the important configurations of these two models to make it look a little more intuitive.

The configurations of the Redmi K70 and Honor 90 GT models are very similar, both are Snapdragon 8Gen2, 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and they also have the blessing of eye protection solutions and mature algorithm tuning, and the game experience is also indistinguishable. At the beginning of 2024, you can spend more than 2,000 yuan to buy such a model, and you can imagine what the current mobile phone manufacturers have rolled into.

Finally, let's talk about the purchase suggestion, Redmi's starting price is 200 yuan lower than Honor, I think this 200 yuan is spent on signal and battery life. If you want to pursue the ultimate cost performance, Redmi is more suitable for making friends. If you want a better gaming experience, spending an extra 200 yuan into Glory is a better choice.
