Note my Galaxy S24 Ultra got the new March update just in time for this. Good to see some big improvements over the first comparisons I made.
It's mind blowing how bad the zoom video is from Xiaomi. It looks completely out of focus. That's how blurry it is. Xiaomi is overrated
which is better in terms of video samsung or xiaomi

@@f.iph7291 but U HAVE 3 CAMERAS and i am just talking about the main 1inch cameras video quality
It will be interesting to test Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra's 10x zoom versus 9,9x zoom. GSMArena noted that the 9,9x zoom is substantially sharper and more detailed than the 10x zoom for whatever reason.
Samsung still hasn't been able to quite fix the purple night sky issue
Never will be it seems :D
an its oversharpend
Hopefully the next update, lowlight and dark mode is the next thing to be tackled!
It's not just the sky, it's any dark area has the purple. Check photo of the yellow lights and stone walling.
And the lag when you zoom in and out when you are taking a video :))
@Techtablets Did you enable the "reduce wind noise" option in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra?
Nope all shot with default out of the box setting no tweaks, no manual modes. No tripods etc But if it was on it would have done better but still can sound very muffled and off.
@@Techtablets I think this option was off in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
@@TheGuille72 S24 turn on this option??
which colour profile did you use on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra ? Leica Authentic or Leica Vibrant ?
Leica Vibrant comes in both 14 and 14 ultra
He asked which one he used in video, because vibrant is more photos like Iphone (like more coulored) wich authentic is more realistic photos ..@@deepu5948
did you use the leica vibrant or authentic for the xiaomi 14 ultra?
he seems to stick with leica vibrant with all the shots, but it'll be better if he mentioned it at the beginning of the video.
I prefer leica authentic
@@msmahmuda6887me too, more ralistic colours
Nice comparison as usual Chris! Do you plan to review regular xiaomi 14? Only regular xiaomi 14 will be launched in my country later this month, and i'm still torn between iqoo 12 and regular xiaomi 14. And software wise, which one do you think have less bloatware between hyperos and funtouch os 14? Which one do you personally prefer?
Kalo mau all around sampek kamera depan lebik baik xiaomi 14 sih, tapi xiaomi 14 itu kecil ukurannya
Actually i dont really care about camera at all, especially front facing cam. One of the most important aspect for me is actually ui, presence of bloatware, ads, and junk notifications, as my old phone (oneplus 5) dont have any of them.
Did you use HDR10+ for video? If not, in which scenarios should I use the HDR10+ option? Thanks in advance
I will suggest you to enable HDR10+ option for video in Day light Conditions because you will get an idea how colour rendering on HDR 10+ looks. And you can use in Night time when you have some good lighting conditions like near restaurants or parks. HDR10+ depends upon your device too how the algorithm works.
Thank you very much@@anujkadam4019
Great first look video for the 14 Ultra and hopefully most of their issues will be resolved over time especially that blurry 5x video on the coast. Using headphones though, in terms of audio quality in the daylight coast video, I find both Samsung and Apple's audio to be a bit lower quality probably due to noise reduction. The Xiaomi had pretty crisp audio quality but suffered from wind noise so not sure if it's the only one without the noise reduction turned on at that moment. In terms of color reproduction, that's to be expected that the Xiaomi wouldn't have the most realistic colors especially if you use the default Leica Vibrant one which is why I exclusively use the Leica Authentic on it on most cases (Still rocking a Xiaomi 13 Pro). Spot on observations still with Xiaomi overexposing on auto every time it detects a face on the scene and wish they'd dial it down in a future update else it will only ever be exclusively usable by those who exploit the manual settings and manually lowering EV's by a smudge. After visiting a ton of reviews as well, I guess Xiaomi tends to gravitate towards those people who love shooting RAW and editing in lightroom, just like what the Sony Xperias target as well as I've seen pro photographers saying that both phones have amazing responses to post processing usability compared to say, a Samsung or a Pixel photo. To wrap my personal thoughts up, most consumers would prefer either a Samsung, a Pixel or an iPhone just by sheer ease of use and fairly decent and all-around balanced video and photo quality while the Xiaomi would probably target mostly just enthusiasts like the Sony Xperia who want to get more out of their photos.
Agree!
I completely agree with you, Xiaomi seems to have changed the focus a little, device for enthusiasts than for common users. For me this is something wonderful!
Most premium phones come with good hardware but the problem is the image processing software.
Very helpful. Was looking for s24U and iPhone comparisons post update. Thanks! This was done with the February update?
March update fact just got it before I did it so perfect update timing! See here: twitter.com/TechTabletscom/status/1767601131767636010
I've been waiting for this one for quite long time
hey chris by any chance do you have a web page where you sell your previous smartphones?
I don't sorry and I keep most of them.
Your videos always have top quality content man
I appreciate that!
Great work as always I love all your videos.
Quick question, camera wise do you think the Honor magic 6 pro beats the Vivo X100 Pro or the Xiaomi 14 Ultra?
I currently have the Honor magic 6 Pro but I'm thinking about returning it and buying the xiaomi 14 Ultra or the VivO 100 Pro global.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks and keep up the good work
Can you please tell me about your experience with the Honor magic 6 pro? How does the camera perform? Thank you 😊
@@m3alemmajnoon137Honor is a good phone but not great. Camera always seems to overexpose and photos of people come out oversaturated with unrealistic skin tones. Photos of scenery look good. Zoom capabilities are poor. Very poor considering all the hype with the 180mp camera sensor. In general the photos are sharp and look like they have been taken on a high quality camera but I feel the pixel 8 pro takes better photos apart from the selfie, Honor selfies are better. Battery life's very good but the software's lets the phone down. You can't hold an app icon to uninstall it or go to app info. Other couple of things with the software that just put me off like lack of customisation e.g not being able to change icons unless you install a launcher like Nova launcher and even that had problems when I installed Nova launcher, the recent button stops working. Also the curved screen is so 2020 just feels like we need to move on from them now. Also, charging is not as fast as you would expect. Speakers are great. Probably the best speakers I've heard on a phone. Lastly, there can be delayed notifications
If you've got the Honor why are you returning it? Its currently number 1 on DxoMark and as much of a Xiaomi fan as i am i dont think they'll beat Honor on DxoMark. Its great for a lot of shots but overall i think Honor would probably be better based on reviews ive seen and watched and my personal experiences with Xiaomi from Mi 8 all the way to my current 13 Ultra. Dont have the 14 yet.
@@m3alemmajnoon137 Sorry I did reply to this comment explaining why but it might have been accidentally deleted while I was editing it. Please check my reply below to the next question. Thanks
@@sconcepx The Magic 6 Pro is a good phone but not great. I have taken well over 200+ photos with the Magic 6 Pro and the google pixel 8 pro side by side. The camera is good at taking photos of scenery but 9/10 it overexposes and over saturates the photo. Photos of people are not colour accurate and lack detail when zooming into hair or items of clothing. The Honor photo's make the person look good but not realistic, almost like it has a permanent beauty mode that cannot be deactivated. I've shown the 200+ photos side by side with the pixel photos to several people, family, friends, colleagues and all have said the same thing, the pixel photos are better in most cases. Also moving objects like children and pets, the shutter speed is not as fast as the pixel and the photo will come out blurry. And finally the zoom camera is very poor on anything over a 10x zoom even after all the hype over the 180mp sensor. The selfie camera is very good and beats the pixel 8 pro's selfie camera in all scenarios.
Then the software, it's not great, it lacks some basics such as holding an app icon to uninstall it or go to the app info page. Also it's not very customizable, you're stuck with the same colours and icons. And when I installed Nova launcher and set it to my default launcher, the recents button along the navigation bar stops working so nova launcher is a no go on the Honor Magic 6 pro.
The speakers are great, probably the best speakers I've heard on any smartphone. The battery life is also very good, but not so amazing that it changes the way I use my phone. The charging speeds are average, nowhere near as good as the 80w charging would suggest. Even the pixel's 30w charging speed in real life daily use is quite comparable if charging both phones up to about 80%. It's only when you try to charge the phones to 100% that you really feel the difference in charging speeds.
Also the app opening times are the same on both devices and in day to day use you will hardly notice any difference in the SD 3 and Tensor chipset. The Pixels AI just makes it a much much better phone to use in daily use.
As regards to DxoMark ratings, I wouldn't trust them or at the very least make your decision on their rankings alone. Having had the Magic 5 Pro & the Magic 6 Pro, something about their 1st place rankings doesn't add up or seem right.
I've returned the Honor and have purchased a Vivo X100 Pro International & a Xiaomi 14 Ultra. In the end I will be keeping one of them and selling the other on.
Thanks for the video! I really love how the S24 U handles zoom even when it comes to videos! Well done Samsung!
There's so much improvement with the Galaxy S24 ultra camera.
Wow! That's great 👍
Yes big step up from the first firmware I reviewed it wit hand did those camera comparisons. Now patch #3.
Especially during that zooming. The stabilization is soooo stable and not jittery.
Also super awesome audio! Even in the most windy setting. Samsung nailed this.
s24 ultra is better it seems that the update did well but xiaomi 14 ultra.. the night has good photos but some are not good but both the s24 and 14 ultra need to receive more updates to improve... good work for the video
Xiaomi 14 ultra is better in everything

@@VxYxR. Not really, your xaiomi phones are pretty crap compared to Samsung, I'd take a Galaxy S9 over a xaiomi 14 ultra, your phones are just too outdated and can't compete.

Did you enable wind noise filter?
What is correctly exposed? Please have a look of the zone system of photograpy.
Mixed feelings about Xiaomi.. Y prefer previous models. Great comparison!!!
i always read your opinions and reviews...you are so honest my friend....just always !!! Congrats !!!
Gream comparison again. Thanks a lot 🙏
Finally. A comparison I've been waiting for.
In your opinion, which is better in photography and sound quality?
Did u use Leica Portrait or Master Portait on the Xiaomi?
What‘s the difference?
Hi @Tec ! -
I should start with the obvious, another great comparison video from the man himself!
That said...
I really think you should include a "best possible photo" for both night and day in a challenging situation. You can compare the point and shoot result, the 30 seconds tinkering result, and the 3-4 minutes tinkering result, all 3 on a mini tripod.
These phones are just as much for photography enthusiasts who will be happy to manually lower the exposure on Xiaomi, or choose a different white balance setting on S24U / iphone in night mode.
Great video as always, your content is popular for a reason. A bit like the Xiaomi has with you though, I'm left wanting a little more.
Which city in Spain you took this video?
I'm curious about the pictures shown in the video. Why doesn't it look good?
Would love to see a comparison against the Vivo X100 pro too!
Was the nightography video of the S24 Ultra shot on Auto mode? Look at the color reproduction!
I really like the Iphone low light shots. Seem so real. And I think by keeping some noice thay also keep more detail than the other two. I prefer a detailed even if noisy photo than an oil painting.
Samsung is terrible at those “oil paintings”
Most of their pics, if zooming at all, take on a very drawn or painted quality that is very natural, where iPhone keeps it real.
Interesting, thank you !
I'm glad to see your real reviews of smartphones. I would really like to see in the next videos a comparison between Samsung S24 (especially with Exynos) and Xiaomi 14 and some smartphones that are not top of the range. I look forward to your new releases.
Maybe I'll have to see. Can't buy everything.
Thanks for another great comparison! Harder and harder these days to declare a clear winner with so much versatility. What a wealth of riches!
Really like your reviews. Feels like these are only ones that are not biased that much (cause I think its impossible to make 100 % non biased review, but you are pretty close).
Thank you.
You always give us the most beautiful nature locations. To be honest, no one is ever going to beat you when it comes to that. thank you 🎓
S24 ultra front facing video quality and HDR 💥💥
Best comparison ❤
I'm excited to see what Xiaomi does with the first camera update. Samsung has already received the first one but still has problems with purple/green - ish photos.
Xiaomi has been out long enough in China that there are unlikely to be noticeable changes
xiaomi always do overexposing in camera. So its not gonna change that much. Lack of optimization and image processing
I look forward to a comparison between the Huawei Pura 70 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra ia really. great, I going to buy this for sure
Great camera comprision keep it up as always Chris Sir
Thanks 👍
The only phone I could not make drop frames is the Xperia 1 V and Pro i. Maybe the predecessors as well. Yeah the iPhone also dropped quite some frames back in my iPhone 13 Pro test.
Great comparison.
I think the Xiaomi's optimized AI zoom works from 30x on only. So 25x will look as bad as everyone elses.
True. The Ai zoom seems to be just adding/guessing details that are not really there according to Chinese reviewers. I think from what I've seen so far it seems to work better for buildings and text as it's easier to guess the details but doesn't seem to do as well with trees and greenery
@eoin4597 To put it simply, anything complex and it will mess up
true. I've seen other videos of the 30x AI zoom of the xiaomi as well and it's very much scene dependent as other samples are pretty superior compared to the competition and only the Vivo X100 Pro came neck and neck@@eoin4597
Xiaomi needs a lot of software optimizations as it's struggling hard. The Vivo X100 Pro is better than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in its current state.
Struggling how exactly?
Xiaomi 24 ultra destroys x100 pro
Xiaomi 14 ultra destroys x100pro
wake up buddy xiaomi 14 ultra is pretty weak for now@@VxYxR.
Nice oictures and videos. Where is thatbplace looks amaxing for a short vacation
Denia, Spain.
@@Techtablets thanks
Chris very good video, I totally agree with you 💯
Thanks for watching
I like your video boss✅❤
Watching from s23u and i am ok no need any competitions now 😊
The Cost in England for all 3?
welcome back, greatest youtuber
Did I leave?
Very helpful video. Definitely passing on the xiaomi but not sure the budget affords the s24 ultra.
I have the s23 ultra and I am impressed with s24 ultra stabilization
it does drop stutterering frame on xiaomi during the night video shot. em the update on s24 ultra really did better to their camera but still a lot of works need to be done on their picture algorithm...
Which image is closest to the real thing?
Very impressed by the 8K performance on S24U compared to 8k on Xiaomi 14u
For average users all of them are good and top notch 🔥. I love to color grade so xiaomi 14 ultra isn't a big problem at all 👍🏼 good level of sharpness shadow less lens flares. I will definitely tone down Samsung's saturation. It's just a matter of personal preference. The problem with samsung is that you'll end up taking blurry photos on fast moving subjects and also it can take a couple seconds to process pictures. So think of that.
I have google one subscription that comes with hdr support and when i click a photo with my iphone15pm, google's hdr comes into play and fix those pics with hdr issues. Tbh my pics turn out to be great

Bring in the Vivo x100 pro as well...
Xiaomi 14 ultra 899usd phone doing great against 1500+ USD phones. Imported mine and i love it
This video goes to only Samsung and iPhone lover 😂
It seems like the update helped Samsung cameras.
It sure has as the first firmware was quite poor.
This usually happens with Samsung phone first releases, happened past two years at least 😅@@Techtablets
Great comparison!
Thanks!
Can xiaomi 14 switch cameras while filming? (e.g. without stopping the video... some phones prevent this if you start filming at 60 fps (asus zenfone 9), others don't e.g. huawei p30).
Thank you very much for your work! Awesome channel. I like the honest truth you share with us with your reviews. I really like the 3 phone live comparisons!
Yes it can
Even the sound on S24 is amazing!
Xiaomi 14 is not overexposed. For me it looks good. You probably using vivid mode on display that's why it look overexposed to you
Vlog video seems overexposed
Have you turned on "lower frame rates for brighter videos" option
Yes
very nice comparison, I wonder why chinese manufacturer always make some strong EIS that makes the video very jittery in low light... the everything is bouncing everywhere, especially when there is some light spots on a very low light scene
otherwise xiaomi is doing pretty good to be honest, but it is really amazing to see what samsung is able to do with "lower spec" lenses / optics
and I don't understand why there is so much overexposure on xiaomi / even on my S23U... seriously they have to fix those overexposure problems
The only one you exclude vivo x100 pro is still the king.
Xiaomi 14 ultra is for professional so you have to set the leica vibrant and aperture to 2.0 and other settings then you see the magic 😊
Of course but to keep things fair auto mode used for all. Not going to manual tweak and use pro mode just on one.
@@Techtablets now use the pro mode then shoot some masterpiece and upload on yt 😍
Could you test Leica Authentic instead of Vibrant?
It was authentic for the day shots and vibrant for night (as it was better at night)
Nice comparison...really happy to have Samsung
Man tell me please about that known drop frames in video ! I had 14 ProMax for the last year it's amazing , i want to upgrade but i'm lost 🫤, i want to bring s24 ultra instead of 15 pro max but i'm afraid of that "jadder" and drop frames in videos i don't want to regret !!
I have mixed feelings.... Phone is great (speed / screen), but my 100x zoom and photos from 200mp camera are very bad...
@@xdefesdatv3728 yeah i have the s24 ultra too everything is good except for the 100x. But in its defense its still the best zoom unless you pitt it against the s23 ultra which is worse in everything else other than zoom
But iPhone better, I use iPhone video camera, stabilization iPhone better, and video quality
How about a Vivo x100 in this mix??
I went for the Xiaomi, just bc the design of the samsung doesn't appeal to me that much, and the spen is of no use to me, is there a version withouth it? Would like that, even better without the extra space to store it. Iphone never even an option, for better pricess I just can get a lot more with other brands.
Goodo! I think you need one of each...
It's definitely the galaxy for my next purchase
Don't understand how come that Apple can not still fix those green lens flares while recording at night....On top, in 9min reason why on iPhone so many noise is present is, that in low light, iPhone is not using optical lens to zoom but making crop from main which is bad and we can not influence it...
Great video
Thanks for the visit
there is problem on xiaomi on far lights i though its only on okd phones but wht hekk
Please review samsung a55 sir
Apple really needs to sort out their zoom, so far behind the game (as they are in most things)
Your videos are about point & shoot and that's ok. People who use point and shoot still take multiple photos to capture the moment in the best way possible. For things like the zoom shot, it's difficult to believe that was the best photo from a batch.
It would add more credibility to your videos in general to show a couple of shots for each camera. The reward-to-work ratio here seems like a win-win too. A couple of extra seconds to snap a few shots on each location / setting, maybe an extra 10 minutes editing to include them in the video with the result being a video that feels more complete and trustworthy.
Other youtubes have indeed achieved better results than you show with the 14U in general. Maybe they're fanboys tryharding, maybe they were paid by Xiaomi, impossible to know. All you can do is continue to improve your own content and give your videos as authentic a feeling as possible.
4:44 Look at the Xiaomi's cutout near his head, it was able to identifyeach hair... its the best
Xiaomi create most realistic picture and colors.Battery charge faster,faster night vision picture capturing.....
XIAOMI IS KING 👌
omg, now i regret it. i wanted to check xiaomi in hk, to be honest.
nice video, for me xiaomi wins in everything, the image quality is real and close to reality, for the other 2, too much artificial intelligence to modify the image to make it LOOK better.
Lots of algorithm is needed and software to produce good image for a phone . Xiaomi has better newer camera hardware but poor at software execution and their software needs lot of improvement to be on par with those phones. Software is as important as hardware in a phone imaging coz of sensor size of camera to be packed in a small compact body
Keep it up
The best tech reviewer .. the others just read out the specs which we can all do.. only tech tables puts in the real-world usage and proper testing
As Xiaomi starts gray sky, I stay with Samsung and iphone, in face tones I stay with Xiaomi, 1:25 Xiaomi the beach and the green of the mountain I see it more faithful to reality, stabilization iPhone and Samsung better than Xiaomi, at night I see more faithful the colors of iPhone, photo portrait 4:08 iPhone, cat 4:55 iPhone, 9:10 palm tree iPhone has more noise but colors faithful to reality, 9:40 Xiaomi warm, S24 violet, iPhone dots of light.. but more real.
In short, some modes win Xiaomi, others Samsung and other iPhone 👍🏻 remember that Samsung and Xiaomi are newer and they don't beat the iPhone in everything, I expected much more from him, Xiaomi with the one-inch sensor
Was so looking forward to getting my Xiaomi until I watched your videos on the device 😂 Damn that's really irritating. Great videos as always but I'm depressed about the results haha. How does apple do it!? On paper it shouldn't even be close.
Compare with Vivo x100 pro and oppo x7 ultra
i was speechless when see xiaomi result
Heavy customised lover love any Xiaomi device....
Rich people ego satisfaction with Samsung and iphone
Samsung S24 ultra is a beast ..i think Xiaomi will get better with updates i reckon
Oh it sure will, only on the second firmware so far.
Wanted to ask all of you, if i should buy a go pro or Xiaomi 14 ultra, as smartphones do worn out with time
Go pro
Great!
All I care about is the camera because I have a personal phone to handle all the other stuff... So if the price won't vary much, I'll go for the Samsung.
If it would, Xiaomi of course.
Can you do more review on how xiaomi 14 ultra front camera performs against s24 ultra in various lighting conditions. I wish to purchase xiaomi 14 ultra. But i also need to be 100% sure on its front camera performance.
Front camera on Xiaomi sucks. Stick to samsung or Apple if you prioritize front camera.
Xiaomi 13 Ultra user here.
Wife has the 14 Pro Max
How come the Xiaomi failed so miserably with the zoomed in videos compared to the Samsung low res lens o.O Everything keeps looking blurry with these 50mp zoom lens on Xiaomi, been that way since the 13 Pro, yet they get more and more expensive without any improvements
Can you add Pixel 8 Pro into the mix for the next comparison? It performs the best, in my opinion
Sorry sold mine due to toxic pixel fanboys.
@@Techtablets Oh, sad to hear. Thanks for the responding :)
@@TechtabletsPlease don't let any fanboys matter to you so much. They don't deserve so much importance. Keep dishing out your unbiased videos 👏🏻
There's definitely a noticeable difference in the S24 Ultra compared to the software it was released with, a real improvement. The Xiaomi looks like it needs a lot of work in that direction as well, it needs a few patches to sort out its issues, hopefully the global version will be better than this. And as I'm a confirmed android user the iPhone is ruled out for that reason
Definitely would not brag about being a “confirmed Android user”
