@sammyt3514 yeah they are all expensive even the z fold 6 ultra will be pricy nowadays expensive flagship are just the norm unfortunately my s23 ultra was very expensive also my red magic 9 pro gaming phone but they were worth it performance wise
Agreed, using one now to comment 😊 Camera is brilliant. I have the Sony A7R V and now I only bring that out when I'm doing paid photography. This I take everywhere else. Very impressive
Will definitely grab the 15 ultra next year 😊. Hopefully xiaomi follows the trend of true flat displays for their pro/ultra variants next year. Really satisfied with my vanilla xiaomi 14 now
@@daryllarado4853 yeah those are the big 3 here for sure. If we do decide to get a phone from overseas its a problem getting connected with the carriers as they usually won't support it.
I have it I feel like the 3.2x, 5x combined with short focus distance gives it an advantage over the competition Processing could have been perhaps more natural on the default auto But night time processing is good, hdr needs to improve, because you can't multi stacked raw. But need to explore this part The sensors speak for themselves Audio is great Display too The ulra series never launches in India So this time I have gone for it and sold my old phone for an ok price Front camera though they could have used a better sensor. Even with raw it's difficult to get an excellent picture. You can still get a good picture
Agreed. This is the only phone that offers this facility. Why wasn't this explored? With RAW and ND or Polarised filters surely that is a whole other dimension. You 'COULD' do another video review on this aspect and really scoop the pool. I don't recall any other reviewer doing an expose on B&W shots quite this good. A filter edition would kill it.
@@GTasOz This review was very fair, and I like the way he make people remember the editing as a process in photography, unlike other reviewers who stuck to the unprocessed photos.
Iphone fan boy, dosen't use any Android flagship, and don't know how good work, Android and IOS equal for smoothness, animation, lag free... This is not 2013 or 2014 year, when Android gets lots lags, and problems. In 2024 year, Android is more powerfull, better camera, better battery life, better screens, better OS, faster charging, open software fro apk....Android better than IOS, my subject think, have both. IOS is simple and boring, so boring...
at the very least, it's not appropriate for a phone over $1000 to have such a small battery capacity. apple products always have under spec'd tech but somehow they make it work
Alright my friend, thank you for this wonderful video. However, I have a question and I need a frank answer to it. Do you truly recommend the Xiaomi 14 Ultra for using it to shoot video for professional content creation? Will it provide truly professional video recording with very high quality? Please answer me with complete clarity. And thank you in advance .
I had the 14 ultra, it's a beast of a phone but the battery is so trash, now i switched to Oneplus 12 and oh boy y'all be sleeping on this badass phone.
The camera kit would be much better if Xiaomi included an eye level viewfinder or a viewing hood. Using the screen in direct sunlight is just barely possible. OTW, it's a great kit.
do you need professional photography knwledge to operate this phone's features or is it fine for amateur useres ? i am planning to get one but i am scared of being lost in professional photography features.
From all the reviews I've seen the Vivo X100 seems to be best camera now, but not available in many parts of the world, but the camera is way ahead of all competition
How to click unprocessed RAW from xiomi 14 ultra... Can somebody tell me please... Raw and ultra raw seems too much like processed Jpegs in camera app. I have to use motion camera for unprocessed raw now. Help somebody please help.
I live in Sri lanka and i think i can only get the chinese version of the 14ultra but i think this phone would be great because the caera i kind of important to me but only the chinese version kinda puts me off and i am think about the oneplus12, any opinions.
I bought this phone and unfortunately it has a lot of things you don't know beforehand: 1) impossible to take photos at 50 mpx by default! You have to go to the photo menu every time, and in the "plus" tab choose 50 mpx. It's just nonsense! 2) You can't use the zoom lever on the professional kit if you choose the 'raw' photo format. This is really very disappointing for a camera of this price that claims to be "professional"!
No, it's because this phone selling point is it's Leica collaboration camera. This phone priority is more of being camera first then smartphone second. It really earned the distinctions of it being camera phone.
@@modestman6753 Yea Apple is actually using Google Cloud infrastructure to store your iCloud data and now they are also going to be using Google Gemini AI. :)
is it even fair to just start testing phones right after taking from box i think it should be done when you have installed apps on it and than use it in your daily life i guess that makes a different is it
And yet chinese companies are beating both of these in the camera department. And when its beating sony the one that literally provides the sensors for pretty much all phone brands thats saying something. None of the sony phones that sony made themselves could even compare to the Xiaomi
No it isn't. The Xiaomi blows the samsung by a mile. Esepcially with dynamic range and raw files. Xiaomi is the best phone for photographers not casuals
@@wouter.d.h. Sure but average consumer will leave it at auto. So... Not helpful. Samsung limited how bright their new M14 panel can get, due to concerns of burn in. Other brands are getting up to ridiculous numbers that will degrade the panel and burn in really quick.
It's an LTPO OLED which can achieve higher nits than Samsung S24 Ultra. Also slightly higher DPI. But in daily use probably difficult to really tell the displays apart
Xiaomi wie wie auch andere Hersteller setzen auf (interne .jpg Bildverarbeitung). Die RAW Dateien , geschweige denn dessen Dynamikumfang sind nicht vergleichbar mit denen der Großen Kameras. Die besten Ergebnisse erzielt man also hier hauptsächlich im jpg Modus👍👌
As a Samsung Knight, I admit that Xiaomi, Huawei, One Plus , Honor Magic etc offer amazing value
Value is RELATIVE.
It ISN'T tied to the cheapest price or the most bang for the buck product.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M Yup, every brand does offer

This particular Xiaomi, however, is even more expensive than the Samsung S24 Ultra.

Did you review the vivo x100 pro ?
Watching from my new mi 14 ultra😊😊😊
Not a doubt that it is a fantastic phone, but I am still in love with my Huawei P60pro, good video thank you
Is the 50mox camera binned to a lower resolution?
My future Chinese phone is either Vivo or Xiaomi. :)
Love the camera spec and photo kit, not available in Canada, shame.
The camera kit would be much better if Xiaomi included an eye level viewfinder or a viewing hood. Using the screen in direct sunlight is just barely possible. OTW, it's a great kit.
I agree with you. many compared with other phones on youtube, but they don't have idea about Lenses and Technology. What about the Videography?
masterpiece! good job!
Still confused which to choose between Xiaomi 14 ultra or vivo x100 pro . 😔
Easy, vivo for auto, xiaomi for manual
Only 14 ultra
@@alanbo859 This right here. Serious photographers will choose the Xiaomi
Great review of a great device! 😃
Thank You

do you need professional photography knwledge to operate this phone's features or is it fine for amateur useres ? i am planning to get one but i am scared of being lost in professional photography features.
It's not that complicated, plus you can watch tutorials about both photography in general and the phone as well.
From all the reviews I've seen the Vivo X100 seems to be best camera now, but not available in many parts of the world, but the camera is way ahead of all competition
It more the software that is better. The camera specs itself is not as good. However it does portraits much better because of software.
Xiaomi 14 ultra ❤
Will wait another 3 years when it'll become more affordable 😆

Use regular raw
Only ultra raw is processed

Great review. Do you have any samples of raw/dng files we can look at?
The original competitor is missing, vivo x100 pro 🤣🤣, the best camera phn i ever used.
Please test how motioncam pro app performs on this phone!
That's the best app since the google play store was invented 😂
This is the GameChanger we have been waiting for!
Great review
You should buy CHN version bigger battery more function and low price.
Miss audio jack for hifi sound entertainment
The photo images, shown in the video at 2:45 minutes, 2:56 minutes and 4:24 minutes, were deformed on the horizontal sides.
What about the video? Is the quality good?
100% agree with you~
I like that matte preset that you use, have you uploaded this to LR community, would like to use it myself.
Can we take Ultra RAW photos from all the cameras (UW, W, 3.2x and 5x)?
Yes you can do that, it will give you 12mpix dng files.
Is xiaomi 14 ultra heating? When does it heat? During normal day to day usage also will it heat?
no
Yes it does, at least in the beginning
@@АнонимМогучий-г5ф yes
I live in Sri lanka and i think i can only get the chinese version of the 14ultra but i think this phone would be great because the caera i kind of important to me but only the chinese version kinda puts me off and i am think about the oneplus12, any opinions.
So, why it doesn't lead the flagship camera benchmarks?
Like on DXO mark? I've got absolutely no idea I reckon that website just puts on whichever smartphone company pays the most, or somethin else idk

Solid performance Google pixel 😁😁😁
Can you buy it in America?
It is not available in United States
Gotta import
The kit is great; the ability to change aperture is amazing… but software is not that good, specially dealing with log system.
Is it better than oppo x7 ultra ?
Almost the same but I'd personally choose the Xiaomi 14 ultra
What about Videography?
hello , We have an affordable alternative to the xiaomi 14 ultra photography kit with more filter options, are you interested in testing it?
How much? Ive been waiting for this to happen.
The p60 pro does those star bursts
Great... how about videos, does it have good video capabilties like stabilisation etc? This should make it a go-to for content creators
That's what I'm wondering, he completely avoided it, it is part of the camera, right? lol.
Every phone has stabilisation
If you use pro mode to shoot pictures and videos
This camera is better than iPhone's video
Yes it has good video stabilisation, support for 8K video on all rear cameras, 10bit log video on the main camera, and much more..
@ You should have reviewed this lol.
teach me how to edit those photos like you do
Great lens and camera. But I don't trust these Chinese brands.

Xiaomi is great but it's inferior to vivo this time if you compare them side by side

is it even fair to just start testing phones right after taking from box i think it should be done when you have installed apps on it and than use it in your daily life i guess that makes a different is it
No log no by. X14u log video limited to one lens
Sounds like the Xiaomi 14 ultra is a camera that just happens to be a phone as well 😂
Then try vivo x100 pro
Stop referencing this masterpiece to garbage like iphone and Samsung
I guess video isn’t up to par since he didn’t even reference it!!!
Didn’t like the camera module design
