Xiaomi seems like a photographer's camera , while Samsung is Social media ready. Specially Samsung HDR processing is literally inventing Colours and making us believe what the camera would like to see. Xiaomi still has Chinese algorithms for face exposure and colours , bit of a problem that

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Pretty spot on! I do however see a lot of potentiol in the Xiaomi, it just needs to work on getting that out. But so far... they haven't fully utilized the hardware.

[@metelway]

@@ThroughJermainesLens I subscribed watching this video I enjoyed much. I am a S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra and I also have Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra needs updates because it s main sensor is very good but has failing mostly on dark areas and also night shots. Is a pitty that they didnt released with the software ready to spot on better shots at normal simple use of the cameras

[@hermes_abhi]

I love the shots from Xiaomi.. Its look like a shot from a professional camera whereas Samsung shots clearly determines that it is shot from a phone

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Agreed

[@magmasolution]

I really can't understand how many reviewers claims that Samsung is better . It's always been noticeable a better contrast, microdinanamic , depth of field, real bokeh and tridimensionality of the shots on Xiaomi 14 Ultra, but they still saying those flat images are better. I had really appreciated your comparison , it's reliable , and even more cause it comes from a photographer. I believe that Xiaomi has a lot to fix to get the best from the hardware , but since now is one of the few smartphones, that can shot proper Photos and not the usual computational photography.

[@fundamentallymartin9656]

@@ThroughJermainesLens You deserve praise. It's great to see someone doing brilliant reviews about the phones cameras. Cameras have become such a selling point over the last few years, but most reviews mostly bang on about all sorts of stuff and not the camera, in particular the stills. I'm not bothered about video, most will deliver something acceptable to me, if not I'll get a better visit video camera. Phones are about having an accessible camera to hand when required. I shoot full frame, APS-C, and micro 4/3. The latter gets the most (almost exclusive) use simply because of weight and portability. A great camera in a small size with larger sensor format like the latest phones such as the ultra 14 opens up the opportunity to capture reasonable/great shots with what I have in my pocket. I'll never give up using a camera, too flexible, too many creative opportunities and better quality, but being able to shoot great pics with what I have to hand is a game changer. I'm sure I'm not alone in appreciating a like minded individual taking the time to show us what we need to know and see. Hats off to you sir. 👍👍👍

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

@@fundamentallymartin9656 Yeah they are really becoming 1 of the key things on a phone for me as well, you can easily use phones on a daily with older chips, but improvements on the camera is where it currently is at! And talking about micro 4/3 I have heard a rumor that Xiaomi might think about that for the 16 (ultra i assume only? but of course still a rumor!) And if Xiaomi does it, I think Vivo will follow as well! Imagine that!!! And I do shoot fullframe as well if I don't forget to take it with me... which I may or may not have done when I was driving to switzerland..... yikes hahahaha And like you said, it is the flexibility of photography that is nice when it comes to a phone that has it sorted. Now again Xiaomi has things that they need to sort out! That is just where they are at currently where I don't feel like they are getting the best out of the hardware they use on it! And next to it, of course thank you VERY much for the compliments, I do really appriciate that!!!

[@fundamentallymartin9656]

Ooh micro 4/3 on a phone would be awesome! Also heard the same rumour, that will ( potentially ) be a game changer. Companies have pushed to make the camera quality the key selling point, well they should embrace that and give us what the tech can deliver. It's a balance of what the consumer wants. For someone wanting excellent photography and acceptable performance on other things is where I am at. There is a chance for manufacturers to see there is a market for us photo fans that will accept compromises elsewhere. Of course there aren't enough of us to create a viable and visible market at the moment ( that said, they are already trying to do this manipulation to increase sales with camera performance without giving us what we really want), but channels and philosophies like yours make this more visible and more marketable. Whilst I do love the look and feel of full frame, carrying around over 2kg of kit (and the expense of quality glass) is a problem... 4/3 is acceptable for most circumstances, better than I expected, it brought back the fun in photography for me as it's truly walkabout rather than drag about. 😂 Keep up the great work Jermaine, others out there get what you give. Ignore the Samsung fans, had them, used them and moved on due to the same oversaturated images they put out and that was many years ago, they haven't changed their approach. Thank God there are alternatives, otherwise we will have an over saturated and over sharpened concept in our heads of real life from social media that has no bearing on reality... Bravo sir. 👏👏👏

[@TheAshuV]

Why 5x zoom on samsung was not used ? Its the main zoom sensor

[@zujko100]

1" vs 1/1.33" sensor:) Have you noticed lens fog on xiaomi? What is the (14U) ergonomics like in your hand when you take photos or record videos, I assume it's better than on the S24U? I like the 14U and the photos it does, but I'm worried about that lens fog. On both smartphones, the camera still needs to be polished through the software

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

So I can only base it on my own experience, but I have heard about the fog issues, so far I haven't had that, no fog nothing. But I do understand why that is something people worry about because it sounds pretty bad! Ergonomics, well I shoot upside down most of the time, and there isn't much difference in terms of feel, I would say because of the effect Samsung has on their screen it is a bit better visible to see what you are shooting if you are looking down at an angled shot. And yes, both need work for sure!

Great video my guy! can you do a comparison with the samsung s post processing turned to maximum vs turned to minimum?.. my pov is post processing mostly helps in zoomed in shots to tidy it up...otherwise it just oversaturates the shot

[@ashouhdy]

Samsung wins sure , well exposed good dynamic range ,, xiamoi lacks hdr processing and all pics have Vignette effect to it.

[@zizimai7568]

If you ask me. Light or dark can be easily adjusted in just about any photo app/software. Noise however is way more harder to smoothen out or de-noise without affecting the overall pic quality & details. Now i can take a Xiaomi photo & easily make it social media ready with brighten image corner to corner with just a click. However, i will take a very very long time trying to change a Samsung photo into a Xaomi looking one even with software filters as you cant replicate the shadows & light rays correctly.

[@franciscoboassen7522]

How about the log video on Xiaomi?

[@escheidl]

Wow. Personal preference really plays a role here. I much preferred the Samsung shots in almost all of the samples shown. For me, "natural colors and lighting" are only preferrable in the real world where our eyes are processing the whole scene. A small cutout, or "square" of something needs a little help to make it interesting and not dull. I like my photos to pop and make the viewer say "wow, that's beautiful!" Only a photographer would look at a photo and say it has too much color, is oversaturated, or even notice a slight amount of noise. The rest of the population wants to be wowed by the picture. Take postcards for instance. How many do you think would sell if they all looked "natural." People take the ones off the rack that wow them with color and spectacularism. When I look at pictures of the places I've been and share them with others, if it was a dreary day I don't want it to replicate the dreariness of the day accurately. I want the camera to somehow cut through that and make it pop and look beautiful and enticing. And Samsung does a good job of that. Even if it is somewhat artificial, I still prefer it. I want my memories to be enjoyed by myself and others like a sweet bowl of candy that they can't get enough of. That's just my preference and that's why I would pick the Samsung hands down.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Yeah that is why I always say that with comparisons, preference is important! You can like something that I don't perfectly fine, I will mostly talk about things I have noticed and what my preferences are. But not shutting down someone's own preference. And I I get that there are people out that that want that POP in the shot, nothing wrong with that :D

[@fundamentallymartin9656]

'Only a photographer would look at a photo and say it's over saturated and had noise.' That's precisely the point. If you want over saturated and unrealistic shots that are clearly off a smartphone then go for the Samsung. Maybe this channel isn't for you as it's about a photographers point of view, which whilst subjective, many photographers would agree with Jermaine?

I think its quite bold of Xiaomi to use the Leica tuning - and kudos to them for doing so. It takes darker shots than your usual smartphone. Almost raw-like sometimes. But I do like that its different from every other flagship smartphone. Darker shots are harder to setup but if shot right with the proper settings/conditions etc. the clicks look amazing.

Hello Jermaine. I think s24 ultra's post processing is toward social media ready which tends to oversaturate, overexpose and oversharpen everything. I have iqoo 12 and my friend who has s24 ultra and we both agreed that iqoo 12 have better result than s24 ultra for smartphone that both prioritised on social media ready. I also considered xiaomi 14 also, but fogging camera issue keep me from it. Even some of demo unit in xiaomi store indonesia also suffered from this issue.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

mmmm I hear that issue coming more from that location mmm, for me I don't have any fogging, but if you see many there, I would as well avoid it! And yeah I loved the IQOO 12! Very solid phone for way less! And yes IQOO 12 is also a bit more saturated, but it does well I think for the aim it has. Samsung just is overprocesed and can have noise, which is just not on.

Any comment on the shutter lag on Xiaomi 14 Ultra? DXOmark reports around 300-500ms latency from pressing the button to taking the photo. Have you had a chance to test this on moving subjects especially in lower light?

Ik ben niet zo gek van dit soort vergelijkingen: Samsung vs. iPhone, Xiaomi vs. Vivo, Nikon vs. Canon, iOS vs. Android... Het leidt vaak tot van die rare emotionele reacties. Ik houd meer van films die laten zien wat er mogelijk is met een specifieke camera, gelardeerd met tips. Hoe dan ook, ik ben niet gecharmeerd van de aanpak van Samsung: teveel opgepompte kleuren. Ik vraag me wel af of onderbelichten het resultaat van de Samsung foto's zou verbeteren. De 'colour science ' van Xiaomi spreekt me veel meer aan, net zoals die van de Sony Xperia. Ik geloof alleen niet dat ik mijn Xiaomi 13 Pro inruil voor deze 14 Ultra, al is het variabele diafragma super tof.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Ik zou ook niet zeggen ruil de 13 pro in voor de 14 ultra, hoe het op het moment is... ik kies de 13 pro a beetje boven de 14 ultra. En ja ik vind het ook soms vervelend qua reacties, idd erg emotioneel, en dat kan soms erg irritant zijn, want fan boys zullen nooit echt luisteren. En daarom zeg ik ook echt dat voorkeur belangrijk is. En ja Sony is ook geweldig! Ik ben wel benieuwd naar de Vivo X100 Pro, maar gezien dat er een Ultra aankomt.... dan zou het een slecht idee zijn om die pro te kopen mits ik echt een geweldige deal vind. Qua Samsungs processing ja dat dus, en het voordeel voor Xiaomi is, hou je daar van, zet het over naar Vibrant, erg makkelijk. En EV controle maakt het ook dat je gewoon wat heldere shots kan maken.

From a Xiaomi user: I love the fact that Xiaomi capture almost the same things that can be seen with our own eyes. The captured details are dope. However, it is somewhat over exposed to light and sometimes make humans' skin somewhat pale. Anyway, I love every photos i took with my Xiaomi phone. I wouldn't mind adding a little more work in editing the photos or videos. If you like somewhat gloomy and natural vibe, Xiaomi may be one of your choices😊.

[@___David__]

OK. What I'm about to write is based on viewing the video on my phone (so I can't actually see any noise for example): I think Samsung actually crushed the Xiaomi here. With some very few exceptions, Samsung's results looked much better. I do *not* like excessive contrast in daylight photos and Xiaomi always delivered much darker photos with far too strong shadows. Yeah, sometimes that's a good thing, but I prefer the other approach: give me brighter shadows. If I want them darker, it's easier to darken shadows than lighten them up. Samsung's biggest issue here is the usual yellowish tint and oversaturation. They clearly use the "we'll give you an already edited photo for Instagram" results and that's not always the best thing to have. As you know, I would never buy either phone. But if I had, based on THIS video... I'd have sold the Xiaomi, not the Samsung 😅

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Honestly when it comes to preference you can never argue over that, if you like a brighter shot or less contrast, then that is your preference and perfectly fine haha, I am here to show the difference haha. For the effect on Samsung, yeah probably best way to describe it. Instagram shots, and I don't like that haha, I like natural more contrasty cinematic shots ^^

And about the noise in daytime shots with the Samsung i really couldn't see the noise in the photo u showed when u were talking about it If theres a critical mistake Samsung does i think its the bokeh effect.. it cuts the object in a way it looks cuted bu hand and sometimes it cuts big parts near the main subject and blurs them out and they get lost in the bokeh.. , it didn't happen in the shots in this video but I've seen it a lot in othet s24u shots.

I guess KZbin hasn't processed it properly, looking at the image itself from the phone I can easily tell the noise. and I can understand people finding the Xiaomi too cinematic :) You do of course have the option for vibrant, but didn't do much with it, because if I add that the video's would be crazy long hahaha.

[@wheely4405]

@ThroughJermainesLens ahhh no I've seen the vibrant mode , it's overexposed it looks like a creamy filter I prefer the natural or authentic or whoever it's called.. I'll check the noisy photo on a 4k tv I may be able to tell.. Ahh I see , it's noisy af , gotta be software issue

Xiaomi 14 ultra for me 👍🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥.. Samsung's not by mean bad but i don't prefer high hdr such as iphone google vivo etc. the dark moody on xiaomi giving the feels

[@TheRetroLime]

I prefer the Xiaomi, not keen on the Samsung tbh

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

[@alijan2k9]

Samsung tends to brighten everything up: even the shadows; oversharpen as usual, and in turn produces flat photos mostly... Also, trying to use HDR, it leaves haloing effects around objects too as you mentioned and we saw... Terrible job really... Xiaomi is superb in general, just the oversharpening bit in Zoom pics is really uncalled for and not welcome! Amazing job as usual Jermaine! 😊

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Yeah, shadows for me are key for a good shot, it creates depth, but Samsung... it dislikes that! BUT both need work! I do think the Xiaomi has a far better base to work on, then Samsung. And thank you of course!

[@alijan2k9]

@@ThroughJermainesLens Totally agree with you... Yes depth feeling is what I like most in Xiaomi, which comes from not over-brightening the shadows and keeping them... However, with Xiaomi 14 Ultra, I see that sometimes shadows are even too dark; darker than those of Xiaomi 13 Ultra...plus that oversharpening: which can't be removed easily, but can be added in a second if we need!

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

[@MDXZFR]

non photographer, lack of understanding the art of the photography will most likely choose samsung. They don't care about depth of field/bokeh and contrast/highlight. As long as the photos are bright, oversharpen and vibrant as painting, and fake bokeh, they'll choose

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

You aren't wrong. Well unless they start using the camera's in less then ideal light with the amount of noise you can get on the samsung 😅

[@solas1183]

Photos are better on Xiaomi but a bit too dark for my liking. I'd prefer it to be a bit brighter. The saturation reverses on video. Samsung is better here. Xiaomi's video has the Samsung look with colours similar to Samsung's photos and overbright video. Your skin colour in particular looked way different than usual on the Xiaomi video. Personally, wasn't overly impressed by either. Would prefer something in between for photos

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Honestly i van understand that:) good thing is that via EV adjustment which is just straight there you can adjust it, and for more saturation and less dark shadow vibrant is a great option^^

[@solas1183]

@@ThroughJermainesLens Thanks. For me i think I'll probably settle for an entry level flagship instead. Maybe something like the Nubia z60 ultra, oneplus 12, Xiaomi 14, Oppo find x7 or Vivo x100 or I might wait for the next generation of these models in October/November. The more I see of these ultra phones the less I feel like they are worth the extra cash over the entry level ones especially with the entry level models improving their zoom this year. Maybe with the exception of the Xiaomi 14 (which is a bit weaker for long range zoom) even the others I mentioned have quite good zoom up to at least 6-7x now with the OV64b periscope.

The G24ultra has too many tools, your able to get what shots you want and more, the criticism is fair, but I hope they don't change their profile. I prefer it. Any camera or mobile device will give flaws, but if you take the time to learn this device it goes way beyond any other phone. Specific preference can be had with things others can't achieve.

How did you know that i'm talking about samsung bcs you are a biased too. Not being overexposed doesn't mean being overly dark. Where is the HDR? Xiaomi photos are too dark and soft. True photography is being true to life in colors, sharpness and exposer. Not contrasty or cinematic or whatever.

I'm sorry but what I'm seeing on the pictures , samsung looks far better in my eyes . Xaomi color look flat and too dark . Vibrant look too saturated. I don't think you are comparing or just talking samsung down. I watched this alone and with my friend without voice and he still pick samsung pictures. I think you are promoting xaomi. Tbh I want a phones to keep pushing to make 3 top manufacturers to do more. But hate when promoting and called it comparison.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Xiaomi looks flat? that is just factually wrong, contrast allows depth in the shot where on the samsung it hardly has that... It is perfectly fine that you like Samsung better, your choice and your preference, but that is not reality when you talk about depth. And I am not promoting anything.

@ThroughJermainesLens we talking about photos that look more pleasing to the eyes ? Right, and your comments dosent make sense to what I'm looking at. I'm confused if you mislabeled the pictures. Believe me, I don't support any phone brands. I just want the best for my money, but most reviewers these days are misleading based on promotion as a comparison. I used so many phones, including LG and Huawei, iphone , and recently debate on 15 pro max with s23 but decided to wait for s24 ultra. Tbh it's not perfect but ticks all box .
