    I've watched your Xiaomi 14 Ultra review as a photographer and I am extremely happy with the fact you truly do try a lot of the different possibilities with the hardware. A lot of reviewers lazily take a few shots and call it a day, it's genuinely hard to find someone who cares a lot about pushing hardware to its limits.
    I recently have imported an Iqoo 12 from China, and while I was making an informed decision and knew the kind of camera performances I'd be getting, I was still blown away by how strong the camera was. In fact, I just never saw anyone try hard enough with it! Reviewers are mostly not photographers, and for reviews of camera centric products, it really makes reviews meaningless...
    Thanks a lot for the inspirating videos and keep up the amazing work. Your editing is relaxing and well paced, the shots looks good and professional, keep it up!

      Thank you ever so much for the kind words, much appreciated 😃 I know indeed a lot of people review tech as tech and not as a tool to create art aka these cameras have such MP count, they can do this and that but my take on it is that one can achieve great things as soon as they start forgetting they're using a phone but start concentrating on the principles of photography. More content on the way 👍

    I think something you could do that no one and I mean literally no one has done is go really in depth on how far you can push the dynamic range I think it would be really informative and it could differentiate yourself from other people that do mobile photography. Like they will do it with any other sony camera or some flagship like they will wax poetic about the dynamic range but they never really show how far you can really push it
    Outside of that keep it up cheers to 2k subs and I really look forward to more of your content

    Could you do a video highlighting the variable aperture...its probably the most important part of this camera, and phone cameras overall. Many thanks .

    Thank you for all the honest reviews! I am currently in the process of buying a new phone focused on photography. At first when I heard of Xiaomi 14 ultra, I was thrilled but after tons of hones reviews I watched....well..hm...I don't know now if its smarter to invest in Iphone 15 or something else, so honesly, what would you reccommend? 😅

    • @UpsideLens
      @UpsideLens  4 місяці тому

      I mean it all depends what you want. The Xiaomi has the best camera setup of any phones still in 2024, it is the phone to beat ! Now if all you want and point and shoot then a Samsung or an iPhone will have you covered. But like I said if you're confident with manual and raw mode then the Xiaomi is the phone to get, no other phone comes close, iPhone 15 pro (or 16 pro indeed) don't come anywhere near what the Xiaomi produces though, they're not "photographer's" phones, they're just good all rounders for like I said point and shoot average Joe. Hope that helps

    • @UpsideLens
      @UpsideLens  5 місяців тому

      Thank you for the kind words 👍 you have a beautiful country ! Been there a few times in the past and absolutely love Singapore ! Now for the settings you're looking for they're hidden in the more/features section in the photo app (by default you scroll to the right to find those settings where it says video, photo, portrait....)
      Now I personally wouldn't use those as for one you can only use them in jpg, meaning you wouldn't be able to edit them properly afterwards but also this type of processing won't give you realistic results, it's all trickery and post processing. I suggest instead to switching to manual mode instead and playing with exposure length (slow shutter speed) 👍

    • @UpsideLens
      @UpsideLens  5 місяців тому +2

      If photography is the one thing you're after then the Xiaomi. I'm not familiar enough with honors OS to make any recommendations but purely on the photography aspect the Xiaomi hands down, as a whole it's just the phone to beat in 2024 for the cameras
