xiaomi 11t vs s21 ultra camera test

[@abrahamcortazar8691]

Eres un Chingón!! Great work!! Thank you men!! Congratulations from San Juan Teotihuacan México.!!

[@marciandesilva]

Your camera comparison videos cover every aspect. Great. 👌👍

[@davethevicar88]

Looked at these phones and to say this, is, one of the best comparisons between them is, unreal your very good thanks I'm getting s21 ultra monday

[@ab_31000]

Yeah the only big difference is the zoom quality. For the rest it depends on taste I would prefer the 11T because the colors seems more natural and the sharpeness on some shoots like the dog is amazing, but some people would prefer accentuate colors like the S21 Ultra.

[@billytubes]

Most detailed camera review ever. Thank you

[@jimmcnevin9367]

Marginal differences and often the shots came down to personal preference. About the only real difference between the two, would be the zoom capabilities of the Ultra.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Yup, it's always personal preference. Zoom results were expected.

[@ShawqiOtoum]

Samsung looks more cinematic, and zoom wise it is definitely better, but to be honest xiaomi did a great job, we are talking about two different categories, and for price difference I'll go for xiaomi, I'm having it today! And if xiaomi did some software updates, I think it'll be a way better choice!

[@zasrans]

Wow for xiaomi,good job as allways.s21ultra is one of the top cameraphones in 2022,and such a little difference.mi 11t is 390eur in my country s21ultra 1200eur.i probably would buy 11t+amd pc+digital camera instead of s21ultra😅😅

It's April 2022 and in the USA I'm able to buy 3x11Ts for the price of one new ultra. It's a no brainer for me to go for the 11T as camera is very comparable and overall performance is solid. Thanks for making my decision easy, great video!

[@the-dronepilot]

I have the Xiaomi 11T Pro and is very good! I instal the GCAM app and with this I have even greater photos! Great review! Great work!

[@MoMo-pd5hu]

Honestly, I was looking for this comparison the most! My first impression about the new Xiaomi 11T series was of ... reheated food ... A plus here, a minus beyond and so it turned out, in the end, a surprisingly good phone, especially after what I saw now. In the version with D1200 U processor and manages to deliver this quality at this price?!?!? Really surprising!!! If it had OIS for the main sensor ... How much does this option cost extra? Or probably Xiaomi chose not to hit in the Mi 11 series. Finally, a great LIKE for this material !!!

[@misterxinkognito1419]

Good job buddy!

[@skuzza]

Hi Great vid, I wanna ask if it's worth upgrading from 11tpro to sew ultra for cameras only but i don't see that big of a difference in terms of main camera..

[@TechNomadUK1]

Hello. I currently have the Redmi Note 10 Pro. Do you think the 11T's front & rear cameras bring a noticeable albeit incremental better photo processing (skin tones, dynamic range, white balance, low noise, stabilization) than the Note 10 Pro? Or would you suggest something else?

Regular day time photos the only real difference between the 2 phones were the colors and some minor details in the images macro shots zoom and night site I would give it to the Samsung also I wonder if the scene optimizer on the Samsung was turned on or off during these test because that could play a part in why the Samsung made the sky colors more blue in certain photos

[@beautyneytiri]

i've tried so many things but i guess as there are so many more options on this s21 ultra i'm just lost... the quality is just not crisp even though it says it's 1080p. can you please help me out with this ?

[@erick-gd7wo]

Looks like Mi 11T has better consistency in almost all situation, and still colourwise looks more natural for me, while Samsung has proven it's quality here though the colour is too saturated for my taste

[@GrantLikesTech]

True, fair enough.

[@MrRaksaChan]

I watched it on 32" monitor at 1440p, Samsung is much better in controlling high light in both pictures and videos. Xiaomi's pictures look mostly washed out in highlight area. I just dont understand how u think Xiaomi win in most situation... Even in Macro mode and night mode, samsung's pic look so much sharper. Do u even take much photos or videos?

[@petejung3122]

@@MrRaksaChan it's not a win. But Samsung always oversaturated the colours. So it's also a subjective thing. I have to say I'm surprised of the Xiaomi. Need a bit fixing on the renders when highlife, but fair to say it's up close. And selfies are for ....dummies.. So I pay no attention

i hardly take photos in daily use. even if i do it will probably be during the day. like 95% of the time will take day time shots. and given the fact that 11t is reasonably priced, it's a great bargain right there!

[@SBrown-ee8gz]

S21u looks better due to the saturation, xiaomi phones came up very close.but that's objective, depends on your personal tastes. The only 2 places Xiaomi was week in was night mode and zoom. However you should have extended this comparison with camera features single take is awesome on Samsung but I prefer Xiaomi movie mode or clone mode.

[@cokonat58]

Subjective*

[@reymarklavapie5228]

Watching this video while I use my xaiomi 11 t smart phone. I think for me much better the xaiomi 11 than the Samsung specially in camera not bcouse I use the xaiomi 11t today. But that is my opinion bcouse the photo that you will captured use the xaiomi 11 t is very natural I think the deffirent between this two is the sharpness of there camera and the brightness but we'll it's up to you who is the best between this two smart phone but for me xaiomi 11t is the best 😁😁✌️

[@talalrashid9268]

I would say, not a big difference except zoom capabilities. Even Xiaomi gave tough time and also won( in my opinion, everyone has his own choice) in some rounds Edit: EIS and OIS difference is clearly visible in videos

[@lucasvilasboas2200]

The differences in the 2 devices are VERY small. It is quite noticeable that the Samsung S21 Ultra has a camera with better light capture, stabilization (which is optical and better than the Xiaomi digital one) and loses less detail in the image when zooming. Samsung's night camera is also much better. However, it is noticeable that Xiaomi's 11T Pro has spectacular camera performance, and the device's focus speed exceeds that of Samsung, given that the 11T Pro has a much better processor than the S21 Ultra, which makes it Xiaomi's performance is better in this aspect. On the Front camera, for photos, I preferred (but this is personal) the ones of the 11T Pro, as I noticed that the front photos of the S21 Ultra are identical to those of the S20 Fe, they have a more "makeup" aspect, they don't pick up the physical details of the person's face. The Xiaomi ones, on the other hand, even catch the pimples on the person's face. I like this more "naturalized" aspect of Xiaomi better. About the video recording of the front camera, then Samsung wins, as it records video on the front in 4k, while the Xiaomi device records front 1080P Full HD at 60fps. However, the differences in camera performance are so minimal that, in the end, it's better to stick with the 11T Pro for the price, as the value of this device is less than half the value of the S21 Ultra. Xiaomi's batteries are better than Samsung's, the 11T Pro's charger charges the phone from 0 to 100% in 18 minutes, and the device runs any game at maximum due to its great 888 processor, the second or third best processor in the world. world today (since it is second only to the 888+ and 888 Gen 1 processors). Putting together all the analyzed aspects of what the 2 devices offer and what is the amount in which both are being sold, Xiaomi comes out WAY ahead of Samsung. A person pays less than three thousand to have a top-of-the-line cell phone, which easily competes with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the S22 Ultra.

I will be buying the 11t after watching this video

[@mr.b501]

Xiaomi 11T Pro was priced at €500 brand new when I bought it two days ago from my online shop site that I use... Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra refurbished priced between 7 to €850 and brand new it's still coming in at around €1200. I'll never pay over 500 on a smartphone, I like my Budget phones that compare with these big flagship boys.. Samsung batteries suck after 8 to 10 months in use, they start to drain...I had 3 A series Samsung devices before and they all did exactly the same thing after so many months in use, the battery started to drain faster. ..So I switched to a Chinese device called Realme 7 pro 18 months ago, guess what that device I still have and it's still running like new including battery life it's still the same, perfect... but I upgraded to Xiaomi phone two days ago to the T11 Pro... It's a Beast of a phone ... 💪🏻👍🏻

Does missing OIS really affects 11t picture or video quality? From the tests it seems fine to me.

Greetings from Panamá. I have 11T. In My personal opinion it is great in camera and performance. No issues, si far. Besides, almost 500 dollars price difference, for almost the same. I agree Samsung is better in some details, but not the most to say it is the Best.

What I don't like about the latest xiaomis is that miui is 3rd party launcher hostile. You can't use gesture navigation, the wallpapers become screwy and most of the time the gesture features from the 3rd party launchers will stop working and would need a soft reset.

[@isaquesperandio162]

I expect something more balanced... but it's not just in the zoom, but in the details, in the HDR, in the colors, in the video, in the front camera, anyway... there's a moment that the Xiami to try to make your face clear, it makes some tears in your skin, the outline is so strong... the comparison is very interesting... congratulations!!! but I expected a better dispute...

I know the colours look better but less realistic. 3:50 The zoom of the main camera - S21 Ultra is better here because the flower seems to have more details and the background is better separated from the flower, which means my eyes focus more on the flower 5:10 S21 Ultra definitely better Ultra wide camera is better in S21 Ultra because Xiaomi's pictures are bland and too smooth 6:44 I can't say what is better, the difference is so big lol Camera is worse in Xiaomi because of the stabilization and zoom Night mode is best in Samsung
