I always breathe a sigh of relief when looking and listening to these video's. Unlike other UA-camrs, who struggle to say as much words in a minute as humanly possible, and often with an atrocious American accent, this man provides useful information in a polite manner and at a leisurely pace. Keep up the good work. By the way, the variable aperture is really compelling to me, as aperture is one of the variables I always play around with when using my DSLR.
Gotta give it to xiaomi on this one, most western companies (yes I know samsung is korean, they are the exception) are going the AI way, but there's only so much software can do, chinese brands on the other hand are going the brute force way, trying to breach the gap with dslrs with big sensors, it feels like the west is trying to be the best cellphone camera while china is trying to put a phone on a dslr, I think the second aproach is the best
I wish Samsung would ditch the 200 MP and AI gimmicks and give us a new 1-inch sensor with the S25 Ultra. It is time for them to evolve. Also, the ultrawide and 3x cameras are due for an upgrade. They have been using the same sensors since the S21 Ultra if I am not mistaken.
@@yTcensored24Samsung mobile will need to persuade the other subcompany that produces the sensor (electro-mechanics?) in the first place. The two subcompanies seem to have their own direction instead of a unified goal.
"el software no puede hacer mucho" 😂😂😂el software es quién hace todo en teléfonos y sus cámaras, que si le sumas software y hardware se ve mejor que los que solo se concentran en software pues si, pero "el software no puede hacer mucho" es incorrecto.
@@yTcensored24 I absolutely agree with you. Samsung has very outdated sensors for 3-zoom and ultra-wide-angle, software algorithms alone cannot get a good picture, you need good hardware as well. I would prefer Oppo, Vivo or Xiaomi instead of Western phones, although Samsung is Korean, but still. Chinese phones have very strong hardware, but the software is also very good. For example, the system animations on Chinese flagships are much better than those of Samsung.
@VNUDrawingArt I still prefer Samsung overall. I trust the software more, plus there are features like Dex that are really useful. They now have the best software support alongside Google and Apple, and they have a good ecosystem (I have the watch and the buds). I was always a Note user, so the S Pen is a must for me. Overall, I really like the S24 Ultra, but the cameras are not the best, and the speakers are not the best, especially compared to an iPhone. The UI has been evolving, but there are phones that still feel smoother and faster. I would say there's definitely better hardware out there, but to me, Samsung is the best balanced overall.
I've seen hundreds, maybe thousands of comparisons/reviews, and watching this here doesn't make me think I'm watching a review or comparison, but appreciating a work of art, so well done is the video and so detailed every aspect of the cameras... I'm speechless... congratulations is too little... but that's it... thank you!
Hi Isaque, I saw the video and it was great. I deleted my X account as Euricovsky but I continue to follow the camera comparisons and so on. Miss your comparisons on my feed but I have to move on, bye for now.
@Multipolarist12 Thank you very much for the consideration in informing me... I will really miss you, but thank you for all the support... see you around... big hug! Be at peace!
It needs mentioning that Samsung has Picture Softening in it's camera settings menu, but only after downloading it's Camera Assistant add on from it's Galaxy Store. Setting Picture Softening to Medium completely transforms it's photography performance in my opinion. This feature should be on every Samsung device out of the box. It is only available for photos and not for videos, which is a pity.
Absolutely amazing review! Subscribed! I had the S24U, now using the X14U, and no regrets, i love more better the X, not just for the camera, even the 4 rounds curved glass on the display, more comfort to hold, i like everything better on Xiaomi. Keep it up lad, greetings from NI❤
@@NeverSettleForMediocrity fogging of the camera occurs once and goes away forever. I have a s24 ultra right now, but I'd prefer a Xiaomi, it's a different level.
Can you describe the overall Xiaomi phone experience a bit? I'm on an s21 ultra atm and looking at the s24 ultra vs the 14 ultra. I have no doubt the camera experience on the 14b ultra is much more suited to my needs but the whole phone needs to work just as well. How's HyperOS working for you?
@@michaelberg7201As a camera, the Xiaomi may be better but really not by much contrary to what the specs say, but as a smartphone, the Samsung is too much above the Xiaomi.
samsung give green blend on the photos so if you want to see whats happen on the real make pictures on non green objects ;) you can see what proressional photographer thing about that ua-cam.com/video/vVFQyb3b8Mo/v-deo.html
Finally the best comparison of all no matter what phones are used since the narrator shows real cases of using camera. He is the 1st narrator , who explained that apperture is used in extending shutter speed.
I've seen almost every xiaomi 14 ultra vs S24 ultra video and this is the first one to show that the S24 Ultra pen can be used to take pictures haha, thank you, it was an awesome video.
I'm using the Xiaomi 14 Pro and thank you for this comment, I was not aware of that feature until now. I saw it from the filter and it's under Bokeh. It's limited to 1080p30, but all good. I hope they can bump it up to 4k soon.
@@SiHorrocks Yeah! I don't know why hide such a feature and the fact that it works well on mine. Are they not confident with it yet? I guess so, since it can only go up to 1080p30. I'll take it anyways. Haha!
Hi Simon Great video - thank you. Always wanted to ask you which are those beautiful mountains in the background? In the shots where you focus on the village & chapel?
Hi, it is a great video, thx! But the Xiaomi 14 ultra has also "dual camera" option, but they hidden it little for some reason! It is available from the "more" setting option in camera mode and among the "short video" settings... And as at the Samsung, you can record with the front camera and you can also choose from the all four rear camera to use! 😉
Great review thank you. Your voice is sooooo relaxing though. You need to create some sleep UA-cam tracks. I don't know if it was a combination of the nice music in the background. But I feel asleep to your voice sitting in the sunshine. It was wonderful! Lol
I have a Samsung S24 Ultra. And got Xiaomi 14 ultra today. And first reaction?? "Never back to Samsung!" :) First impression of the Xiaomi is sooo much better than the Samsung, and especially the camera! I will not be back to Samsung for long time.
Xiaomi wins the hands down. Samsung is strictly no for me having lots of sharpening, purple tint, crap ultraeide 12mp using since generations and garbage edge detections.
Samsung offers a VERY effective three stage Picture Softening feature in it's Camera Assistant settings add-on. This is for photos only though, not for video. It's Ultra wide lens is too old for sure, and it will be replaced by a new 50Mp one next year, in the S25 Ultra. It's edge detections are not brilliant as you rightly say. The Vivo x100 Pro leads the world here.
I wish mobile manufacturers dropped ultrawide sensors and too wide main sensors (25 mm should be the minimum). Indeed, how can one enjoy having a distorted subject that doesn’t look like what the photographer sees in reality. I’d much rather have only 2 or 3 or 4 “big” sensors all featuring sensor-crop, macro, portrait mode and 8K video : ½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, 25mm or 35 mm (Who will dare?) with variable and fast aperture ( < f/1.8) ½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, between 50mm and 75mm with variable and fast aperture ( < f/1.8) ½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, between 75mm and 100mm with variable and fast aperture ( < f/2.0) ½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, between 100 mm and 150mm with variable and fast aperture ( < f/2.8) The same goes with zoom over x20 or x30 : what’s the point of having a zoom beyond 500/750mm, unless it be for a “binoculars” feature ? Mobile manufacturers should focus on image quality between x1 and x30, i.e. color consistency, color accuracy, exposure accuracy and sharpness across the different lenses. Speaking about image quality, I also wish manufacturers gave more information about and focus on the lenses manufacturing, material and coating instead of banking on A.I.. Sensor size-wise, Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo are the closest to these wishes. Yet, I own a Samsung S24 Ultra 1Tb. Why ? First, the trade-in scheme (S23 Ultra 1Tb) during the pre-order period in France and the give-away smartwatch that I sold made the phone down to 500€. Second, a phone is not all about photography : S-pen is quite handy when editing a picture, swiping on keyboard or even surfing on the internet ; with e-sim no hassle of ordering or inserting a sim card (Vivo has e-sim too) and customization is just brilliant. Finally, global versions of Chinese phones are not always available or not easy to get and Chinese versions are a deal breaker as they don't support some of 4G and 5G from European networks.
You may be right about a lot of things, but when it comes to the E-Sim, you are completely wrong, because: E-Sim should be banned in the EU or completely. This technology allows fraudsters to impersonate someone else or someone from your home country even more cleverly, to disguise themselves and hide, and makes it almost impossible to find the owner of the E-Sim. After a long search, clarifications and research, you might eventually find out that the owner is based in Nigeria, but neither the Nigerian state nor the local police there will help you track down the fraudster who sold you something you never received or who hacked your mobile and misused your credit card. However, E-Sim phone numbers from your home country (country code) can be bought in multipacks at a dumping price. This technology circumvents the ID requirement when signing a mobile phone contract so that the identity can be traced, which currently applies in many smart countries, and thus makes mobile networks unsafe and dangerous.
One of the best creators i have came across the detailed review cleared all of my questions as well as the practical videography and photography among the phones gave me a proper and clear picture that which phone i am gonna get, cinematic modes is well explained by sir and i believe that nobody else have explained this much in details other guys are just roaming around the cameras where as sir his highness actually explained what their camers are what mode we can play with and what the results gonna be, highly recommended and become a big fan sir
correction for 19:02 you can shoot pro video for all lenses. You have it set to 120fps UHD which limits it to those two lenses, same with 8K, but 4K 60, 30, and 24 works for all lenses
The majority of people use a phone to take snapshots and selfies. In my view, basing a decision on the camera is shortsighted. Samsung ecosystem is more important to me.
😐 if you want an ecosystem comparison you could look that up lol. This is a camera comparison so having a weird cop out for Samsung is odd given what this video is.
Amazingly helpful review for any photographer to decide between the two phones. Thank you so much. It's the Xiaomi 14 Ultra for me because of the variable aperture and the photography kit.
This means you can save 500 dollars and get a much better camera phone which even has a variable aperture and much much better charging speeds both wired and wireless. And a pretty crazy design with vegan leather too.
That's interesting re: exposure issues. I find that having dark objects on your head - in my case, I usually wear a black face mask when in public places to protect from the flu and pollution, and here, you're wearing a very dark beanie - can confuse some Chinese phones, which meter for these objects rather than just the exposed skin on your face. Also, you should be subscribed toBben's Gadget Review!
Hello Simon, thank you very much for this perfect review. I have a wish. Could you make a comparison video with the Oppo Find X7 Ultra and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra? That would be helpful for me. BR Jens
Because xiaomi using telephoto for macro shoot, it can focus really close, so you can get sharper and detail macro shoot with tele lens. And it's bette as my opinion, because i've seen another creator doing the comparison, not just once. And for the result, i've choice xiaomi tele close up image as better quality base on my opinion. Even im using SM note 10 till this day.. 😂
J'hésite entre le Xiaomi 14 Ultra et le iPhone 15 pro max. C'est essentiellement pour faire de la vidéo. Pas de la photo. Les tests parlent beaucoup de la photo et accessoirement de la vidéo. Du coup en création vidéo, on ne sait pas trop comment l'appareil se comporte, les limitations, le passage d'une focale à une autre. La stabilisation en 4K ou pas... Que conseillerez-vous ? L'univers Apple avec l'iPhone semble bien plus favorable au créateur vidéastes, n'est ce pas ?! 😅
Oh, I like this video and pictures. Its always a mix of pretty good pictures and important informations. You have the great feeling to make dreamfull pictures. I relax by looking this pictures . Thx.
Would I like Samsung to integrate the same quality of camera equipment as Chinese smartphones? Ooh yes !!! On the other hand, I know that it's not going to happen anytime soon, when you see that despite the super advanced hardware of Chinese smartphones, Galaxy S manages to do as well and very often even better. And above all, a smartphone is not just a camera 📹, and off camera, Galaxy S is completely above any Chinese smartphone. 🙏🏽
@@chanronnie5079 both are very capable point and shoot camera phones, but if you enjoy playing around with manual photography then xiaomi has more functions... Alternatively If you just open camera and take photos in portrait /auto and never change settings... get Samsung because I think it's the better phone over all. I have xiaomi 14 ultra, it does take incredible photos... But I found I had to learn the basics of apature/iso/ev/ shutter speed /focal lengths to maximise the functionality of the camera
One homework for Xiaomi is the color consistency between lenses, so far only Samsung and iPhone have managed to solve it. Another would be the front camera quality. Don't get me wrong, it's a major upgrade over the 13 series, but is still not the same level as the other two giants. OTOH, whatever Xiaomi has now that are absent in the others are their homework. So, overall Xiaomi is already in the same level of competition.
Thank you so much for reviewing, you are amazing. Xiaomi is a very annoying phone, I definitely do not recommend it to anyone. Definitely buy a Samsung to use it for many years.
There is not such a big deal for me there is photos that are better with s24ultra and there is photos better with the xiaomi 14 ultra but again... There isn't such a big deal/difference 🙏🙏
Dude can you make a video about normal phones the ones people can really buy, I know you get yours for free but most of us have only phones that don't shoot 8k or 4k is so tiring all videos I see is about expensive phones, both of these phones here in Brazil has the price of a used car. Just a suggestion. I have a Redimi 12 4g and never see anything about this model when we are talking about filmmaking.
@@SiHorrocks Love Xiome and am glad they support your channel. So you know well the high prices, and in the Global South, these phones are like 5x more expensive due to the money currency and local taxes.
Xiaomi software is the only reason you shouldnt get a xiaomi. HyperOS has bugs and they dont bother to fix them. Notifications dont come, google dialer crashing, whatsapp notifications not showing up when someone is calling. Delayed notifications.

Nice! What a great job. But, how did you shoot slow-mo 4K with the Xiaomi? Thx!
Really detailed review as always, great work man
Really good comparison video
Juz subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work
Thanks for your work ❤
The majority of people use a phone to take snapshots and selfies. In my view, basing a decision on the camera is shortsighted. Samsung ecosystem is more important to me.
😐 if you want an ecosystem comparison you could look that up lol. This is a camera comparison so having a weird cop out for Samsung is odd given what this video is.
I have a sony 1 V now and was wondering IF I want to switch to s24 ultra or Xiaomi 14 ultra how I can get my external mic to work hehe
Amazingly helpful review for any photographer to decide between the two phones. Thank you so much. It's the Xiaomi 14 Ultra for me because of the variable aperture and the photography kit.
This was really great, thanks! I hope Samsung sees it and makes some improvements, especially to the hardware on the 3X and the ULTRA WIDE. 🤩😍
awesome videos, thank u
This means you can save 500 dollars and get a much better camera phone which even has a variable aperture and much much better charging speeds both wired and wireless. And a pretty crazy design with vegan leather too.
That's interesting re: exposure issues. I find that having dark objects on your head - in my case, I usually wear a black face mask when in public places to protect from the flu and pollution, and here, you're wearing a very dark beanie - can confuse some Chinese phones, which meter for these objects rather than just the exposed skin on your face.
Also, you should be subscribed toBben's Gadget Review!
Hello Simon, thank you very much for this perfect review. I have a wish. Could you make a comparison video with the Oppo Find X7 Ultra and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra? That would be helpful for me. BR Jens
Not many youtuber explain the benefit of f things and how to use it. So i subscribe this channel for explaining it.
this guy's voice is smoother than cream fr
The Xiaomi looks like a real photographer, while the Samsung is just a phone. Good job, Xiaomi!
Thank you for sharing this video.
Sir what is your opinion Xiaomi or sumsang
ciao ti volevo chiedere nei video in 4k a 60 fps lo Xiaomi 14 ultra supera Samsung secondo te di come qualità e bellezza dei video
Sir you did nor cover macro capabilities for Xiamo Lenses
Please do Vivo v30 camera review, they have 50MP main camera and 50MP ultra wide camera too, such amazing i think.
I cant get over how over sharpened the galaxy is ... Xiaomi looks like a real camera imo
You have to show more the side by side pics.
Xiaomi front camera always been pretty horrible, they really gotta step it up here
Hiii there you first said that both have 4 rear cameras and then you explained about just three cameras on the s24ultra 🙏
4th is 50 MP 5 times periscope
Thank you for the in-depth review, going for Xiaomi
Dxomark scores, 144 for s24U and 149 gor mi14U
DXO is weird. Neither phone is that mediocre.
Wow nice review camera
What about huswei pura 70 is the too of iphone and all Android phones ❤
Xiaomi 14 ultra 🔥
Wow, didnt know Joaquin Phoenix is good at reviewing phones as well...
😂😂😂😂😂
Watching in Xiaomi 14 Ultra ! 🙂
What's ur opinion?
Where do you live
Bro Horrocks please do Triple Camera Battle between Huawei Pura 70 Ultra VS Moondrop Miad 01 VS Vivo X100 Ultra in May 2024
Anyways I would love to see how the Xiaomi fares against the vivo x100 pro. Cos I am torn between the 2 and don't know which one to get
Get xiaomi
@@Iqoensh5678 Thanks
My Xiaomi 13T have menu Selfie video bokeh, why 14 ultra doesn't have?😮
Fair enough
Why no Macro features on Xiaomi?
Because xiaomi using telephoto for macro shoot, it can focus really close, so you can get sharper and detail macro shoot with tele lens. And it's bette as my opinion, because i've seen another creator doing the comparison, not just once. And for the result, i've choice xiaomi tele close up image as better quality base on my opinion. Even im using SM note 10 till this day.. 😂
Wow this is incredible review, no obnoxious laughs, no obnoxious animations, no obnoxious music. Well done amd stick to this format 🫡
Xiaomi 14 Ultra ❤
جهازي الحالي هو Xiaomi 14 ultra
رائع للغاية والتصوير جيد جدا 🔥😍
مارأيك في البطارية؟
@@عليظلالرياض ممتازه
Can pl explain how u do "point-&-shoot"?
J'hésite entre le Xiaomi 14 Ultra et le iPhone 15 pro max. C'est essentiellement pour faire de la vidéo. Pas de la photo. Les tests parlent beaucoup de la photo et accessoirement de la vidéo. Du coup en création vidéo, on ne sait pas trop comment l'appareil se comporte, les limitations, le passage d'une focale à une autre. La stabilisation en 4K ou pas...
Que conseillerez-vous ? L'univers Apple avec l'iPhone semble bien plus favorable au créateur vidéastes, n'est ce pas ?! 😅
Xiaomi ❤
❤
Samsung s24 ultra ❤ ❤
For all Samsung fanboys, I cant love these devices because Samsung don't cater for PWM sufferers so can't even give it a go.
Oh, I like this video and pictures. Its always a mix of pretty good pictures and important informations. You have the great feeling to make dreamfull pictures. I relax by looking this pictures . Thx.
I'm in 9th min of the video I dont think there is comparison, 14ultra is kick ass
Would I like Samsung to integrate the same quality of camera equipment as Chinese smartphones? Ooh yes !!!
On the other hand, I know that it's not going to happen anytime soon, when you see that despite the super advanced hardware of Chinese smartphones, Galaxy S manages to do as well and very often even better.
And above all, a smartphone is not just a camera 📹, and off camera, Galaxy S is completely above any Chinese smartphone.
🙏🏽
"Completely above" I can't even get good shots with RAW on my S24 Ultra, 200MP is a gimmick, would much rather have a 12MP larger sensor
If you want to point and shoot Samsung... If younwant more control and creative capabilities .... Ultra 14...
I'm still puzzled - does it mean i can't point-&-shootcwf Xiaomi-14-ultra?
@@chanronnie5079 both are very capable point and shoot camera phones, but if you enjoy playing around with manual photography then xiaomi has more functions... Alternatively If you just open camera and take photos in portrait /auto and never change settings... get Samsung because I think it's the better phone over all. I have xiaomi 14 ultra, it does take incredible photos... But I found I had to learn the basics of apature/iso/ev/ shutter speed /focal lengths to maximise the functionality of the camera
Samsungs telephoto video/photos are so oversharpened 🤢
10:09 the background looks like a greenscreen, looks fake.
that's my garden. The blur is entirely optical, nothing computational involved
@@SiHorrocks yeah I get it, but the quality of the footage (terrible) is what I was implying.
Xiaomi cost-effective Samsung photo and video editing
Not about price, Samsung has objectively worse photos because of the sensors.
Best camera phone is Xiaomi 14 Ultra not the Samasung s24 ultra.
Samsung has terrible video sharpness.
Not really. By S24 Ultra user. My videos in gallery are cristal clear.
@@lepdra ну видно же, что у самсунга дикий перешарп.
@@tegkgiofJust turn on the high bitrate mode 🤷🏽♂️
One homework for Xiaomi is the color consistency between lenses, so far only Samsung and iPhone have managed to solve it.
Another would be the front camera quality. Don't get me wrong, it's a major upgrade over the 13 series, but is still not the same level as the other two giants.
OTOH, whatever Xiaomi has now that are absent in the others are their homework.
So, overall Xiaomi is already in the same level of competition.
No it isn't
Rubbish
@@afistfulofpimples1745 ok, garbage, didn't know you can speak
@@mariospiteri8561 for you, not for me
@@mariospiteri8561 Samsung has worse sensors
Chinese bots are commenting everywhere
No mate the kit s24ultra has it also exactly as xiaomi but isn't samsung made sry but i forget the brand's name
First to watch 👍👍👍
What?… Do you want a medal? Took a lot of effort, didn’t it?
Both phones oversharp alot
Thank you so much for reviewing, you are amazing.
Xiaomi is a very annoying phone, I definitely do not recommend it to anyone.
Definitely buy a Samsung to use it for many years.
"Annoying" in which way?
There is not such a big deal for me there is photos that are better with s24ultra and there is photos better with the xiaomi 14 ultra but again... There isn't such a big deal/difference 🙏🙏
which is better S24 ultra or the 15 Pro max, camera
Depends, if you like editing photos and videos, definitely iPhone 15PM, if you only do basic photography, and need the zoom, S24 Ultra
Invest on chinese brand is dumb decision
Commenting this is a dumb decision
Dude can you make a video about normal phones the ones people can really buy, I know you get yours for free but most of us have only phones that don't shoot 8k or 4k is so tiring all videos I see is about expensive phones, both of these phones here in Brazil has the price of a used car. Just a suggestion. I have a Redimi 12 4g and never see anything about this model when we are talking about filmmaking.
I'm only sent Xiaomi phones to review, most of which are lower budget. The rest I have to buy myself
@@SiHorrocks Love Xiome and am glad they support your channel. So you know well the high prices, and in the Global South, these phones are like 5x more expensive due to the money currency and local taxes.
Xiaomi software is the only reason you shouldnt get a xiaomi. HyperOS has bugs and they dont bother to fix them.
Notifications dont come, google dialer crashing, whatsapp notifications not showing up when someone is calling. Delayed notifications.
Nice phones but i'm still an iPhone user. Thanks
Anyways I would love to see how the Xiaomi fares against the vivo x100 pro. Cos I am torn between the 2 and don't know which one to get
Xiaomi
@@greenish16is it true tat in Xiaomi & to take a photo snapshot point-&-shoot way, i still hv to select the focal length, EV etc on each shot?
