[@arjunkrishna1]

That f4.0 aperture is necessary in large sensor cameras. When we record video in bright daylight, even with the lowest ISO, the shutter speed should be 1/800 to 1/3000 to get correct exposure. Videos with that high shutter speed looks jittery especially if you're filming in 24/30fps. At f4, the shutter speed can be lower, creating slight motion blur that looks natural.

[@-_--le3zk]

​@@romidontplaythat5795 Well that is extra money you are spending,but yeah it does indeed help

[@JetBen555]

[@branimirteodorovic2297]

Smaller aperture is useful when you want to take a picture of something that is close and you want everything to be in focus: two people standing one in from of other, food, documents... It is also useful when you are recording 24/30 fps video in sunlight because it will allow longer shutter speeds which will make video less choppy.

It also comes with a bluetooth trigger gun grip which attaches to the side of the phone to replicate the look and feel of a Leica M camera.

[@SharpShots-hk4fw]

I feel like the f4 camera would be super helpful for video. The only reason 24p feels "jittery" is because when phone cameras have a f-stop value that is fixed super wide open, they have to take down the shutter speed to compensate which causes an unsettling lack of motion blur. Having a lense at f4 would likely help with some of that I feel.

Thanks for the review. Leica M/Q user here. Got the Chinese 13 Ultra. The shortcuts to the various 35/50/75mm lens are great fun and Leica-like photos effects straight off the camera if you dont want to spend time editing in LR. Great blacks, tones, low noise. Doesnt overexpose like Sam/IP. However this is my first time with a Chinese phone and there are some majr drawbacks on the OS (like google maps doesnt fully work, cant change deafult AI to google assistant ). So wait for the official launch in your country. Great camera otherwise (the rest of the phone is just top notch Android).

[@abanoubshahid9829]

I think the reason why the charging is slower on this one ("slower" but still leagues faster then Samsung or Apple's fastest which isn't included). Is that they finally added USB 3.x support. Technically the USB standard doesn't support 210 Watts of power, so I think a lot of it might be them changing pinout. But now they finally have their first phone with USB 3.X which at least for me is a big deal, as I use USB C to HDMI cables regularly, and you can use all in one docs and Samsung dex like features in the future. But all of these things require USB 3.X speeds. That's an addition to the obviously much faster transfers, it was one of the few things they were missing. So I hope they keep it going and don't return to 2.0. So people like me can plug their phone into TVs.

[@lukewt456]

Xiaomi finally supporting the features the USB 3.x "phone standard" brings is a game changer, one which could make my next main phone a Xiaomi-brand one. Having the ability to do what I want to on my phone is a necessity. And this is coming from one that likes the brand's phones, and have used a few from the different models and sub-brands it has.

[@PolyAndroidBenzene]

No, because there are other Chinese phone have 120W charging and USB 3.X support, the reason xiaomi went 90W for this phone is because of the energy density. The faster you can charge your phone, the lower energy density your battery get, because of the 4 camera system 13 ultra have, there is very little place left for battery, hence 90W with higher energy density.

[@Metamine0]

Finally someone says it. In my opinion, USB 3X charging speeds are fast enough when supported properly, so the extra capabilities are worth the tradeoff in charging speed.

It is not necessary for the phone to go into hibernation after reaching 1%. I used a Xiaomi phone four years ago, and you can set the battery percentage to trigger hibernation.

[@gauravshah8448]

The performance and stuff is okay, but can you make a video on reliability based on brands? Which brand has most bugs and such.

[@sawyerseth9832]

Hey @mrwhosetheboss! I have a suggestion for the comparison videos. I think it would be a better comparison if you weighted the categories. For example, audio is probably much less important than performance and camera to most people. So audio could be worth 5 points while the other ones would be worth 20 points or something like that. I think this would make the final score a lot more indicative of the user experience.

[@jackelbee]

weighting is mainly subjective.. for some it's imp like audio.. for some it's not very important.. like for me.. audio doesn't matter much.. so it would not be very fair.. in the last he mentions about his personal choice signifying he can actually rate it like this but he chooses not to make the comparison more organic and orginal for the viewers as it's their final choice to buy which one they like

[@sawyerseth9832]

@@jackelbee I agree that weighting is still subjective. But there are ways to find out what your audience cares about. It wouldn't be too hard to do some polls on KZbin or Twitter. I'm not criticizing the video. I just think adding a weighted grading system on top of all the great content that is already there would add extra value

Arun, our eyes cant think 12:39

[@inpursuitofhappiness366]

Arun - Aperture variations aren't for that. As much as we like background blur, when taking group shots, we cannot have someone out of focus just because they are standing even a bit away. Also when scanning documents, You simply couldn't get the whole page in focus. Agreed though they must allow 4k 60 on front camera and use better processing

[@MrDavidsic]

Good test as usual but a shame not to have talked about the zoom part because two dedicated sensors for that is not very common and it seems a good alternative to the S23U

[@planetminecraft411]

@geogodzhongli I'd honestly rather have 200MP and 10x zoom. Plus, in my opinion, One UI is better than MUI.

[@eriktenhag2022]

​@@planetminecraft411 miui is still not upto the latest one UI version but it is certainly getting closer to samsung's skin by each iteration. For me the problem with miui is the random choppiness in animations, it's not even because the phone is slow, maybe the phone is too fast for the UI to render or something. It doesn't happen often tho. Same with OneUI i have experienced choppy animations especially while multitasking and calling someone, but not as choppy as miui.

[@vivek_v]

I have to disagree with the point about variable aperture. I used that all the time on my S9+ with Pro mode. Having a super deep focal plane allows for macro shots without needing to do focus stacking in post. And yes, ultrawide cameras also do macro shots with a deep focal plane, but the lens/sensor quality and focal length are all far inferior to the main camera. It's also useful in moments where you don't have time to check on the focus. On my S23 Ultra, if I'm taking photos of any moving close-up objects, any time the focus catches the slightly wrong object, the photo is ruined. It's also incredibly useful for scanning documents, though a higher quality lens with a flatter focal plane is equally important.

[@mulanmaycry]

Just bought it today. Blown away by it camera results. And plus it's unique form factor stands out from the rest of current new lineups. Was stuck between picking ip14promax, Sony Xperia Pro I or Xiaomi 13 Ultra earlier. Totally sold me by the Olive Green eco leather back on Xiaomi 13 Ultra.

I remember using the mi 9t pro (redmi k20 pro) and when you were outside in sun the screen got even brighter and sharper. The phone did get quite hot. But it would switch back to normal when the sun wasn't shining directly on your screen. I found it a great feature.

[@Justgreen89925]

i have it on my Mi10T Pro too, it brings the brightness and the gamma to the max (you lose a bit of color quality because everything is gray-er)

F4.0 is for sunny countries ,Dubai etc. on Sunny holidays landscapes are much sharper ,less blurred edges etc. ,also better for close up shots when you want everything sharp ,eg. picture of laptop ,car for marketplace etc. I'm glad variable aperture is back

you also hope that your childrens can stay alive without oxygen? because the main problem with the chargers even the trade-in program not collecting that, so sooner or later it will land jn the trash can, that is a non ecofriendly e-waste, what is not the best for the environment when you throw them away. if you will buy 30 different phone in your life you will keep all the chargers for rest of your life?

[@TheRealGigaCat]

@@TamasKiss-yk4st bark like that when apple and samsung start providing the charger for free on request if not in the box. Otherwise shut your mouth and keep your opinion in your backhole. Also try to find out how much a 90 or 210 watt charger costs. You might lose your oxygen. And yes I will keep and use 30 chargers in my lifetime because i will live for 80 years. Not everyone changes phones like clothes. Ask how much apple is ecofriendly when they purposefully stop you from repairing your phone. You cannot even change the front camera ffs without destroying the functionality. Most of the iphone 8s are garbages now just because their home button is damaged. Macbook hinge sensor is harcoded with motherboard and cannot be fixed. Does any of this rings the bell?? Don't bark without knowledge.

@@TamasKiss-yk4st lmao, imagine actually supporting the greedy tech giants. the only reason they no longer put charging bricks in the box is because they know people will go out and buy their extremely expensive official ones. I know absolutely no one who would throw a charging brick in the bin, even if it was broken, and at the same time not supplying a charging brick is worse, because people buy the chargers separately. This in turn means there is more waste from packaging and the instruction manuals.

[@ericnoack1324]

it increases depth of field and that is important for photographers.I mean to say, cameras go up to F32 and we are only talking F4 .The whole idea is it actually brings objects into sharper focus , for instance, you can focus on your ear with a 1.8 aperture and the point of focus will be in a focus but every thing else will be out of focus after about an inch at a distance of 4 feet from the subject resulting in a lot of out of focus shots.Having f4 eliminates a lot of out of focus shots when shooting at a close distance for instance a macro shot will have more of what you are shooting in focus ., shooting someones face and using the tip of there nose as the focus point at a close distance will result in the face being soft using F1.8 but will be in focus using an f4 stop.

[@solas1183]

This battery feature when the phone is dead came from Huawei. They implemented it last year and now Xiaomi has 'adopted' the same tech

[@FawryFx]

I found the variable aperture very useful and gives you a lot more options and control over the camera. Even better if it can give more options than just f1.9 and f4.

[@romershrader2228]

they forgot to adjust the front camera specs😢 but maybe there will be sn update that will surprise everyone, 😅

Just to correct about the smaller aperture, it is very useful when taking photos of objects that are close to you since the depth of field is too shallow. For example, food.
