I have both Xiaomi 13U & 14U. This year is the first time me & partner have gone on holiday without our heavy DSLR & bunch of lenses ! The photos from the phone is just amazing. The ability to jump from wide angle to telephoto without having to change lenses like with DSLR is just an amazing experience. If those sensors gets any bigger than 1" in the future, we feel the need for DSLR will be even lesser. As of now, we can hardly tell the difference in picture quality versus m43 sensor photo without zooming in. But when compared to APSC or FF photo, there is still a significant difference in texture & details.

Thank you for your great comment and summary of your personal experience! And yes, I completely agree. Plus: you are confirming my "feeling" that this mobile phone is primarily for people like you, experienced photographers, who are able to use it properly and really appreciate its features...

Exellent photoes tbh. This year xiaomi took the game of mobile photography on another level where apple and samsung only dream of. Coz they are only busy making fool of people giving inferior hardware covering with software game and charging you hack of a money. If xiaomi keep doing the same amazing thing in future i am sure it will surpass these so called flagship companies. G8 work keep it up.✌️
@jan-rybar4 ай бұрын
Thank you! And yes, it is a good point that Xiaomi works its way more towards "real photography", so the results depend less on computation and more on lenses etc. But, to be fair, Samsung S24 Ultra is a great mobile phone as well...

Yup no doubt samsung and apple has good phones and cameras but the DSLR alike photoes from xiaomi is something big which they cant achieve. Their photoes (digital blur and oversharpening)anyone can easily recognise from mobile phone but from xiaomi very difficult to say. Hope you can underdtand where i am coming from. Cheers.

For example, at home, with the light shining through their windows through the curtains, the Samsung showed complete nonsense in terms of light and highlighting of shadows, color. Night photos are simply impossible, the sky is blue, the darkness is open.

That's because they can't copy camera brands camera presets because those are patented . That's why xiaomi partnered with leica so that they can use leica colors 😊

Im just stunned these are straight unedited JPEG and not RAW photos. Great review and you share my passion for photographing flowers. Love the vibrant look. Do you feel the colours are a faithful reproduction of real life? Shame you have no night or twilight shots as they might show a few weaknesses, but a fantastic review otherwise. Thank you 😀

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to shoot photos with the Xiaomi 14 ultra phone & sharing them on KZbin. I understand that you have put in a lot of effort to make this collection of images & have shown the prowess of all the cameras in the phone. However, I felt that you were jumping from photo to another photo too quickly and it felt visually very jarring. I suggest that you show each photo for a few seconds, so that we can appreciate them better. I understand that the video will be longer but then you can use a less number of photos. This is my opinion. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Hi, sorry for the late reply! Well, it is a great question, generally it really depends on the level of photography expertise of the owner... Samsung S24 Ultra is a great mobile phone for really wide spectrum of users, Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be loved mostly by those who really know what they are doing. In terms of using lenses, aperture and so on... So it is simply a tool for more experienced users... Best, Jan

Funny thing is, each mode - authentic and vibrant has its own filters to choose from - normal, leica viv and leica nat. I prefer the leica nat with vibrant mode. And you only get the vibrant mode when you switch to 50MPx.

@spaceshipearth3563 ай бұрын
I had the Vivo X100 Pro before I bought 14 Ultra and no, the vivo is not better. It lacks the variable aperture big time. That is why I returned it. When I compare my pictures of grass and trees taken with x100 pro I have to laugh now as it looks like from 5YO poco phone. It is that bad. The x100 pro is the over-hyped phone of 2024. It is crazy what you can get from 14U. The 50MPx photos is really a nice and useful option and also 50MPx RAWs! Some of my vivo shots taken in not ideal lighting conditions are noisy. 14U has some noise too, but it is a fine noise that they don't try to kill with de-noising and I like this approach.
