Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra vs OnePlus 9 Pro Camera Comparison | After the updates!

[@DaveWestMedia]

Bloody hell, some work put into this mate!! 👏👏👏

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks Dave! Hope you're doing well.

[@SunitaDevi-hm5ix]

Let me just present my views...oneplus 9 pro really over sharpens the image over saturates the colours and due to over sharpening the pictures just gets a lot grainy on the other hand mi 11 ultra have some true to life colours and due to bigger sensors the picture are a lot more sharp and true to life and best for photoshop editting

[@dejavuvic1]

Except for portrait.. Mi 11 ultra wins. OP 9 pro tends to over process the pic. I would like more true color with detail. So mi 11 ultra is the choice

[@GrantLikesTech]

Yup, I feel the Mi 11 has more true to life colors.

[@BarryJohnson]

I would be happy with both! Great job as per usual Grant 👊🏽👊🏽.

[@GrantLikesTech]

I'm betting most didn't think OnePlus stood a chance. 😉

[@BarryJohnson]

@@GrantLikesTech LOL, correct!

[@coolpras26]

@@GrantLikesTech It actually didn't....until the updates, which have done a pretty good job apparently.

Can you do a in depth customer comparison beetween mi 11 ultra & s21 ultra exynos variant

[@Ikramautoshyderabad]

Wow that's a very deep camera comparison ever... Really good and appreciatable content ❤️👌

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@RCCARSOBSESSION]

Amazing video 👍🏻👍🏻 after seeing this video I guess nobody should jump on any other video to know about these smartphones camera specifications. 👍🏻👍🏻 Great work.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks!

[@xCyAx]

I like this. Keep coming back to mi 11 ultra after updates. Software is always improving and Xiaomi still has alot of room to do it.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Glad you like the update videos

[@Алекс-ы5т5я]

The electronic image stabilization doesn't work on Mi 11 Ultra in low light videos. Perhaps it has been broken with an update 😞 Btw, the comparisons you upload are getting better and are ones of my favorites! Thank you!

[@GrantLikesTech]

Thanks, yes I'm not sure what happened with the stabilization at night. I double checked to make sure it was on too.

[@sinnappanpablo]

Love the Oneplus 9 Pro ♥️♥️♥️

[@peterxdr]

Thanks for the comparison! I think both did really good. I have the oneplus 9 pro and the camera exceeded my expectations.

[@GrantLikesTech]

You're welcome, and glad you're enjoying your OP 9 Pro!

[@machtschnell7452]

Surprisingly I usually preferred the OnePlus 9 Pro. But there were disparities in both cameras when it came to light colors, white subjects and your skin tone. I wonder which one you preferred for the accuracy of your skin tone representation?

[@GrantLikesTech]

Mi 11 ultra has more true to life colors to me, but both are good.

[@machtschnell7452]

@@GrantLikesTech Interesting. I thought the Ultra was a little overblown on the HDR saturation. And a lot of the times I could see more detail in the One Plus 9 Pro. Image stabilization definitely favors 9 Pro.

[@jonathanberg3729]

I liked the photos from the Mi 11 Ultra (more detail and realistic colors). Video on the One Plus 9 Pro seems to offer better colors and more detail. One Plus like Samsung tend to over saturate prime colors - green, red, blue.

[@justsaiyan_]

Hey man, great video! Any updates on the video you were going to maken on how to shoot pro/raw on the OP9 Pro and how to edit the photos etc.. ? You mentioned it once, been waiting ever since, but 😆

[@GrantLikesTech]

Sorry, but I'd recommend Altered Tech for that. He's done great videos on it. kzbin.info

[@umdieecke6266]

Let's go Warriors ✌️ Thanks for the video. Unfortunately, I am still undecided. The Pro additionally scores in price and the update policy.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Let go! Depends what you value more in a phone and what region you're using it in.

[@kafismokie]

Thanks a lot dare for this..

[@GrantLikesTech]

You're welcome

[@MaickRock]

On the videos of you I think that the One plus is trying to make your face more pleasing to look by changing the skin tone and applying an softening filter. The Mi11 Ultra has more details on your face, but the skin tone is not as "Instagram ready". On daylight, the pictures, the Mi11 Ultra is clearly more saturated, losing some detail and on some shots it's overexposed and it seems like the HDR wasn't working, One plus on the other hand had less saturation and more preserved shadows and slightly less exposed shots, but the white balance was completely random, some shots with an blue cast, others with green tint, wasn't that consistent. On night shots, I liked how One Plus didn't overexpose the shot and didn't blew the highlights on normal mode, Mi 11 ultra kinda blew every highlight that it had in every picture. Night mode on both can correct flaws and they are pretty even. The normal mode ultrawide on the one plus is super soft my god, feels like one of those midrange sensors, the Mi11 ultra ultrawide is way better on normal mode, again night mode makes everything better for both. On night time video, the noise reduction algorithm on One plus is super agressive, everything looks soft and without detail, the Mi11 ultra has more noise but at least it doesn't look like an oil painting.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Great breakdown. I agree the OnePlus softens skin tones more even with the smoothing effect off.

[@yusufabdullateef6979]

So which is your pick in the end

[@HABO2210]

Why is the video footage on Mi 11's 5x zoom camera so jittery? Is it the periscope thing or poor processing?

[@GrantLikesTech]

Not sure, but it has OIS so could be a software thing.

[@machtschnell7452]

The 9 Pro was much better in smoothing out motion.

[@MafiaMendel]

I own a Mi 11 Ultra, and I have to agree, two most disappointing issues with the Camera are Focus & Stabilization. Stabilization feels broken somehow, and doesn't compare to the Reviews by Reputed KZbinrs. (There are several videos featuring reviewers running with the Mi11Ultra and the recorded video hardly shows any signs that the person is running) Second major issues is that the autofocus is a hit or miss (usually a miss), and even the pro mode doesn't help much because of the lack of stabilization, so distant objects or even near ones, are perhaps always out of focus. HDR hit or miss is another minor issue. However I must say, OIS is present only in two out of 3 lenses. A lot of users have mentioned on reddit, to be hearing a distinct sound coming from Camera module,while shaking the phone, some say something might be broken. Others say it is normal with Cameras with OIS. This my first phone with OIS so I have no idea.

[@deafpoolgaming]

I would say 9 pro is the winner overall snap and shot close & mid range shots, the AI sharpen everything to make it more 3D on sceneries but lesser details on human portrait. Mi 11 totally owned the long-range shot and amazing zoom details.

[@CarlosRodriguez-uz7hi]

Pretty close, I think it is more about color preference, quality looks about the same!

[@GrantLikesTech]

Fair enough

[@coolpras26]

I must say, the crappy cameras on the OP 9 pro have improved a lot with the software updates. Mi 11 on the other hand, has the best hardware, but unfortunately their software needs a LOT of optimization. It seems they didn't target the camera at all during the update, perhaps they thought they're already the best? Who knows. I could see blown highlights quite a few times with the Xiaomi, unfortunately. It's high time Xiaomi concentrates on their software. They can be the BEST then. Anyway, how's the battery backup and SOT you're getting with similar usage on both these phones?

[@tiagosouza8427]

Excelente vídeo, mostra cada detalhe de cada marca. Briga bastante acirrada, mas o MI 11 ultra é um pouquinho superior nas câmeras, já a Oneplus se sobressai com a Oxygen OS

[@themad5530]

Não vi onde o 11 ultra foi superior. Consegue me dizer os minutos que isso aconteceu?

[@djn3mesis]

Acho que mi11 é um pouco melhor, também com aquele trombolho de câmera atrás... Eu só estou esperando sair a versão global do oneplus 9 pro pra comprar, amo o sistema oxygen OS, leve, fluido e sem as propagandas que tem nos xiaomi 😍

[@GeovaneRibeiro160]

São dois ótimos smartphones, o que for comprado vai está muito bem servido. Eu comprei o Oneplus 9 pro, por causa do preço.

[@salaszamorano5155]

Please a compariso between mi 11 ultra vs vivo x60 pro plus camera

I'd love to do that if I can actually get a X60 Pro+. 😉

[@FarkyJ]

@@GrantLikesTech there is a new rereleased version called x60t pro plus. it was relesed a month ago.

[@vasanthapillai3420]

the main camera looks better in OnePlus, although con night it makes the color Yellowish (software); but the UltraWide of Xiaomi just blows away the 9Pro , imHo - the Imx789 is better than the GN2 on Xm, but the imx766 is not upto expectations as compared to the very popular imx586 on OP !! telephoto again xiaomi rockets ahead of oneplus.

[@Donniedangerously]

Oneplus seems to have a constant beauty mode quality, even in video.

[@Dizguyzer]

I'm not sure but can anyone pls check and confirm that if the metallic ring around the second camera has rust or is it how it is designed. I can see it in close up

[@coolpras26]

WTF happened with the low light video while walking man? It seems the Mi 11 ultra couldn't stabilize at all? OP9 did excellent job with stabilization.

[@malshebl54]

I'm confused what better ultra wide? 😥

[@coolpras26]

wow what is this place man? Beautiful location. Where is this?

[@GrantLikesTech]

SF bay area of Northern California.

[@roboticvenom1935]

the 9 pro is embarrassing for its camera partnership and price. Either way in the beginning please include a video recording of yourself with your DSLR/dedicated camera and then switch to the smartphones, so we can get some idea of color accuracy/tone

[@elordayibaesin347]

Why 30fps, not 60?

[@gamecopproductions9303]

I already bought the mi 11 ultra. The room of improvement with those sensors, mostly the main one, is huge so I expect to fix the focus fails on close objects and improve overall. The telephoto also can be even better, at least, less shaky. oneplus did improve a lot btw too!

Yup, pretty much what I've mentioned.

I myself uses a OnePlus 9 Pro at FHD + It depends on how much you're pushing the device. If you live on it, you're going to get a SOT around that range.

[@SiberianStar]

This particular review makes the OnePlus 9 Pro's camera appear much better than it actually is... In reality the Mi 11 Ultra's camera setup kills the 9 Pro in pretty much every category... Infact 99% of the reviews on youtube also highlight the fact that the Mi 11 Ultra is by far the best camera smartphone on the market right now.

[@GrantLikesTech]

Well then they must be right. Don't fall for the hype. They're good, but from my use and what I see, it could use improvements in focusing and stabilization. In the end, it all comes down to the person taking the images and how each person sees them. There's no one right answer.
