Xiaomi 14 Ultra Review: A Maestro or a Martyr?

[@reald3d23]

I may not agree with some of your opinions but i like the way you unapologetically express your views. Subscribed.

[@Chelseaman]

Recently switched from the Samsung S24 Ultra to the 14 Ultra, and it’s been a game-changer! 🌟 The 14 Ultra truly lives up to the ‘ultra’ name - it’s everything I was looking for and more.

[@edwardelric3643]

Anything that disappointed you coming from the S24U?

[@Chelseaman]

@@edwardelric3643 One of the main reasons I preferred the Xiaomi 14 Ultra over the S24 Ultra is its ability to capture high-quality night shots without overexposure. The photos look natural, without unnecessary highlighting, which is especially important in low-light conditions.

[@vanremsangaralte7686]

What about battery heating.

[@MOON-Hkr]

Xiaomi and Vivo are doing great in flagship league. Hope they pay some more attention to the software experience and then the game is on..

[@saurav4180]

Another detailed review, thanks a lot but poor portrait mode for naive photographers and no stabilisation on log video for professionals is making it bad for both worlds….

[@joelconolly5574]

Probably cause potrait mode on phones is a gimmick and LOG isn't meant for running.

[@saurav4180]

@@joelconolly5574 it might be a software trick but it does come in handy owing to a pocket friendly companion and regarding the log video, xiaomi literally in their advertisement showed it being used to produce a full production movie and not all shots in a movie are static I suppose.

[@okabekyouma3823]

I can understand your montage on "round icons", on a personal level.. I got hooked into Xiaomi mainly due to MIUI 7 and the theme store and customization... After nearly 7-8 years, they still have not given an option for circle icons.. I usually download the pixel theme from the theme store and set it as the icons.

[@mesheachace0201]

Love the review and your vibe bro Keep it up

[@namesake8075]

I downloaded poco theme and applied the icons, those are round icons. That's probably only option for hyperos as of now.

[@shubhankarchaugule1889]

@thetechphenomena how did you change the icons to circle, its looking so premium?

[@thetechphenomena]

I'm using a theme from the built in theme store... It's called "Risid Forever"

[@shubhankarchaugule1889]

@@thetechphenomena Thank you but I am not able to find it, it's not appearing when I searched Risid Forever. Please tel how to find it

Well I found it after searching for like an hour maybe an hour n half... Was bloody obsessed with getting round icons and then stumbled upon this theme

[@denzz3647]

I've been using it for 3 weeks now..loved it ❤❤, camera is awesome ❤️❤️, after i debloated some system apps and un useful Google apps I'm getting a great battery life too.. And the camera app and options it provides is super cool.. I won't use portrait photography usually and i don't care about portrait is bad or not.. I use pro mode always ❤❤❤

Did you make a list of apps you debloated?

[@denzz3647]

@@matthiasbollwein3618 I don't remember all KZbin, KZbin music, Google safety, Google tv, Google file manager, and some Xiaomi system and bloatware apps like mi notes, music 🎵,etc

The stabilization should be fixable with software updates right?

[@thetechphenomena]

That is my hope

[@edwardelric3643]

@@thetechphenomena how does the display compare against the s24 ultra?

[@thetechphenomena]

Stacks up quite well and I really enjoy the Dolby vision but the overall brightness is a bit higher on the S24 and the anti-glare coating is stunning

[@edwardelric3643]

@@thetechphenomena the higher brightness doesn't bother me that much. I need the display that offers better in low lighting. I tend to use my phone in dark environments more. Does it get dimmer than the S24U? Which one is better in this regard?

[@maximedupont8402]

I am so agree for theme now we got HyperOs, it is so difficult to have decent icons🤦🏻. Even the theme you choose in your cideo, I don't find it...

[@achyutbanerjee9020]

If you were to choose one between the 14 Ultra and the X100 Pro, which one would you go for?

[@rajunegi5653]

Bro are you facing any lens fogging in main camera.

[@thetechphenomena]

Nope

[@ramachandrana.s7953]

For the past 4 months, I have been saving to buy Ultra 14 bro. This video gives me more urge to buy can you tell me your experience with Hypermind. Does it work in Ultra 14? Does it have AI translation feature like S24 ultra please reply....

[@joelconolly5574]

Probably by end of this next two months I'll have enough to get either this phone, the Vivo X100 Pro or the next Xperia. I think in terms of camera phones these three take the cake. You're really not getting anything better than these three. But maybe I'll aim for the Xperia just because it's software is better than the other two, even if the price premium is there.

[@ayushdas2984]

Hey can u please name me the theme you are using for this phone Its looking awesome Please tell me the theme name

[@thetechphenomena]

Hi there, please do a review of Realme GT5 Pro vs Samsung S24 Ultra

[@AdityaSingh.OOO7]

Bro i follow you from last 1 year and i see that your subscriber growth is very slow and really you are very underrated your content is great valuable and your content is very rare ( i mean only 2,3 youtuber post video between high end flagship phone camera comparison in detail) . My suggestion is change thumbnail of video keep background bright rather than dark or black, change dark theme into bright theme. Make thumbnail of your video similar to big KZbinr ( those who get millions of views on their video ) i mean not 100% copy their thumbnail but copy 70-80 % . Lastly language if you can speak Hindi, try to switch on Hindi rather than English because hindi listening audience is majority in india and i guess your majority subscribers are from india so Agar hindi aati hai toh hindi mein video banao . Love from india❤

[@thetechphenomena]

I get what you're saying... But firstly I'm trying to differentiate my channel from others via the color grade and thumbnails... N the language thing doesn't matter coz I won't be in India for long.

[@pravinmurthy]

Watching it in my Xiaomi 14 Ultra.. I just love my phone ❤.. I recommend owners to remove the stupid Screenguard that comes with the phone & go for a good quality screen guard aftermarket..

[@humayunrocks7]

Hi bro...I too have 14 ultra . does ur phone overheat if using camera. Mine .over heats if I use camera app for more than 3 mins and then the UI starts to stutter and frame drops happen

[@The_Flying_Ambivert]

​@@humayunrocks7 yea heats up a lot, weirdly enough even if i don't use the camera app... Battery life is very bad... Soo bad that i literally could compare it to my 5 year old budget phone's battery life Even if it's on WiFi and not on 5G, the battery drain is soo much Red graphs almost all the time except for when it's on standby or light usage I'm hoping it's because of heating, the idling battery temp is 35-39 Goes all the way up to 50°C when pushed or charging Camera and processor goes way past 60°C

[@f1andcarcontent]

fun fact : redmi phones are louder than mi phones

Sound like you problem on why took to long not xiaomi. It's like buying iPhone then complain no round icons lol or buying smartwatch and complain that it's not circle. Sorry but that dig at Xiaomi is not valid

[@thetechphenomena]

I'll always complain abt iPhones being restricted and the same goes for Xiaomi... The simple fact is that other phones provide us with the option and neither Xiaomi or apple do... So it's a complaint... You may not not care abt it but that doesn't mean others won't
