  • The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has been out for a decent time, and there were complaints that I had about it! But how is it now after the updates to HyperOS 1.0.9!?

    I dread the day when a company hires you. You can make a 100 dollar budget phone's photos look better than the S24 Ultra's one so there could be some insane marketing stuff they could do lol

      Yeah that's because you have the photography skills. I respect that, you don't brag about it or anything, you're just chill and normal, like real skilled people.
      Keep making these cool videos my friend, you're one of the real ones and the algorithm has truly blessed me by recommending your videos.
      I hate people who act like they know everything like MKBHD and Mrwhosetheboss just because they have expensive hardware like the Red cameras or Sony Alpha cameras doesn't mean they're great at photography or know too much about that stuff. They say they own that stuff and just act like shills for big companies. I truly despise these reviewers now, acting like the S24 Ultra is "as good as it gets" and "why bother getting anything else?" Truly a 1984 moment, living in dark times now. I used to be a Samsung fanboy, but not anymore after the S22 Ultra.
      They forget to mention the Pro features or the extra features like you mentioned the sliders on the X100 Ultra and stuff like what are they even doing reviewing these products I wonder? They just take a shot with Auto mode and call it a day. It's like taking a Ferrari to drive to your workplace where there's a 40 km/h speed limit and then saying the car is overpriced and not much better than a Toyota Camry what's the point? I used to love Samsung and these youtubers, not anymore lol, just browsing through all small creators like you and supporting them in any way I can, liking vids and subbing and stuff.

      @@kaiserfakinaway5909 Seriously kind of you!!!!! You're making my day, because I have pride in what I do, and I am still on a learning curve myself, so these kind words I turly appriciate!!!
      And yeah, as person I like MKBHD, he seems nice when I spoken to him, same for some others, but I started this whole channel because simply put, I NEVER after their reviews knew what the phone could do when it comes to the camera because shots are to simple, they just take the most basic ass shots as possible! Even though at MKBHD they have a huge talent in photography in the form of David I think his name is! But yet, when they take pictures with phones, they don't take it seriously, they don't play around and they don't seem to understand how to make them work at all! That frustrated me so much! Because well i never got they answer from them in terms of that!
      And clearly I am not the only on!
      And yeah I knew I would get a lot of crap when I basically said that the S24 Ultra is shit in terms of camera/photography! Because it is.... It had noise issues, dynamic range issues, image just look very flat and uninspiring! Software sure, there I like Samsung, but camera wise they are just poor!
      And yes! That slider is such a damn big part of the phone! But that not alone, look at his Sony Xperia 1 review.... I think it was the V or IV? Where he said, I want a smaller phone, lower resolution display, and some more comments, that bloody turned it into the Sony Xperia V! A phone he has reviewed from memory! Like how do you not see that! And from what i have heard, even used shots of the previous 1 series instead of shots from that sony. Not to mention the lack of using the app as it was suppose to be used! Don't get me wrong Sony have thier issues, even more so with the current one I think because of the camera app, but they just have no idea how to use it! While again having a person like David on their team! USE HIM!
      It is a real shame to see! And like you said, it's like taking your Ferrari to your workplace where there is a 40 km/h speed limit the whole way...
      Thank you so much again for your kind words! And also stay tuned for more content on thet X100 Ultra! I was planning to do a nice trip, but my car has some errors, so I cannot drive to far at the moment! But I will be making more on that phone! As well as the Z60 Ultra That new one, and Z60S Pro! And maybe some more indept stuff with the X100 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra! Thank you! you're a legend!

      I didn't hate marquess before, I thought he was just "fine". Just another youtuber but in the past year or so his reviews have gotten so positive yet so basic I just wonder what's even the point. He just reviews stuff for the sake of reviewing and getting money, not to provide info to the average people. Also yes, the videography in his videos is outstanding but clearly it's not his own doing, he has other guys do it for him. I think the average person wouldn't know that and think he is youtube's Roger Deakins or something.
      Anyways, let's ignore all that. Let's just say they take photos in the simple auto mode. Well, even my mum takes photos with filters/different styles on her iPhone and even my dad changes the exposure. Idk about Americans but are they so incompetent that MKBHD and others can't provide photos with tweaked exposure and tap to focus if the AF isn't working? This is like the most basic of things and yet they just point and shoot only. Truly mind boggling stuff man. People don't buy phones just to get the least out of it. If the phone has a problem they don't switch to other phones, these reviewers have the luxury of having multiple phones so they can switch but the average person can't. So they try to make up for the faults and try to find fixes. I just don't like how reviewers just sum up all of this as "phones have gotten so good you can't complain, everything's only personal preference or just stylistic differences". I just wonder, if things are so good that people can't complain, why don't they just use an A55 or an iPhone SE? They all act like they know so much and need the best yet they don't use it. Triggers me lol
      Also, I like the concept of the Sony phones, I just completely hate the execution. They refuse to have proper cooling nor large sensors. Their main sensor in the 1 V is smaller than an IQOO 12. Like bruh. They don't even have variable aperture and their telephoto is as small as Samsung's. I like their processing but imo anyone can just take a Pro Mode shot and either use the less processed photos they get from that mode OR use RAW photos to get far better images on other phones. Like I think the only thing the Xperia properly excels at is videography, and even that advantage is lost if you install some third party apps on a Xiaomi 14 Ultra for example. I think Xperias are overpriced, like why don't Sony and Samsung put their best sensors in their flagships lol, I understand that you like that the Auto mode takes natural shots and the pro mode gives you lots of control but idk man, for 400 dollars less, sure it'd be a masterpiece. But I'd rather get a Vivo X100 Pro and take shots in Pro mode if I want the natural SDR look. They have competent auto mode processing and nice sensors as well. There would be no point in driving a Manual Honda Civic if you can get a Porsche 911 for the same price, imo at least.
      But anyways, yeah the Xperia is overhated still I'd say. They don't even take into account the extra features, they just gloss over the fact that you can. I just wonder, what's the point of reviewing something if you don't even know what you're doing? If I don't like Pasta or don't understand the point of let's say white sauce on pastas, I'm not gonna review it. Why even bother? It's like giving my dad a pc with an RTX 4090 and him saying it's nothing crazy cus he only looks at facebook lol but yeah MKBHD has a photographer with him on his team and he doesn't even give out the effort to use him, sad really. People just pile up on Sony and side with marquess. If you're popular/you're confident enough people WILL trust you. CZcams has shown that to me time and time again for the past decade.
      Also, WOAH I'd love more content on the X100 Ultra. If it's not too much of a hassle, I'd like a camera deep dive. Like, taking a screen recording of the whole camera app and going down into the nitty gritty, showing some before and after shots of let's say changing the saturation or sharpness sliders or using filters or something. Yes it's a lot of work but it'd be some excellent content due to your photography skills and also informative too. Like the X100 Pro camera review by The Tech Phenomena. Anyways, no one really does deep dives of camera apps like the Oppo Find X7 Ultra has a Master Mode with Hasselblad colors and no one shows it! Like why!? Oh and speaking of, it'd be interesting to see if you can get a hold of an Oppo flagship at some point, I think Oppo is the most balanced and inoffensive Chinese brand, in terms of photography style. They have overall the best photos imo and their sensors were bonkers till the X100 Ultra came lol.
      Have a nice day my friend and keep up the good work!

      I did experience VERY bad fogging with the 14 Ultra, so I refunded my first unit, and ordered a second one. Sadly it also had fogging issues the first day when taking photos on a cool weather, but only the very first day; a week or so later the lens did fog up again during the rain-BUT ONLY when the droplets fell on the lens and stayed there. I'm guessing it has to do with temperature differences and the size of the lens.

    I did notice improved consistency over the last couple of months I've used the XM14U, even though yes, changelogs alone aren't that exciting. You can tell Xiaomi does put in the work, and it's great they have a feedback system built right into its native apps.
    Processing for front camera has also gotten better after turning AI Image Engine for HDR on. It's another one of those hidden things where it's obscured if someone doesn't really explore deep into the settings.
    However, the results for front camera processing does change depending on whether you tap to focus, or don't. If you just whip out the camera, and take a picture with the default focusing, it'll take the whole scene as the subject.

    sadly there are so less people which tests audio on video capture (both, main cam and front cam, because often they do not use same mics).
    Always these camera tests on the chinese smartphones, but no audio tests. Also the vivo x100 ultra is such a phone. good camera, but bad microphone and therefore video capture is uselss.

Be that as it may, optical rules. ))) I try to photograph large and half-length portraits and choose a location so that the background is further away. Well, I still don’t strive for everything to be blurred into mush. ) It seems to me that a slight blur is enough to separate the portrait from the background.

      I wouldn't say it's there just yet, images of flowers can still be nicer on something like the 13 pro, but it is muchhhhh closer now, and still slight inconsistancy for portrait mode, and x10 zoom still has a hase to it.

    those who can say something about the update are not on you tube, since they live in China and are the happy owners of the Chinese version. Few purchased a smartphone from China, while the rest bought the global version, which was not updated. This is very strange, because the new vivo, which positions itself exclusively as Chinese, provides more opportunities for global users without restrictions... the deep, incomprehensible jungle of the Chinese soul...

      I know that outside the standard video mode Xiaomi 14 Ultra Pro Video modus gives much better results than the standard/night mode.
      And in Pro Video mode I can go up to ISO 32.000 in 4K, and it is pretty amazing what I can see.
      (In Pro modus I set auto ISO but manual shutter to 1/24 and than turn up the EV to like + 4.0.. then I switch to Night Video and back into Pro Video mode.. and there (when it is dakr enough, the ISO kicks up all the way to 32.000..! (And shutterspeed can go to 1/8th sec.

      --I know it's only usable in stable (none panning shots), compared to the Xiaomi 32.000 ISO in pro modus which is very usable even with panning shots.
      And if in Pro video modus the x100 Pro/Ultra actually also can go higher than the 12.800 ISO.. ?

I have not been paid for the loss of the phone, long story but never use Assurant for phone insurance! You have been warned.

    I respect Xiaomi, but that lens fogging issue, and their lacklustre reaction, is going to haunt them (like Apple's infamous butterfly keyboard issue). A dedicated subreddit topic states this is an existing issue as far back as the 12, so it looks like a design flaw. Make sure your hardware is flawless, then bring me your software updates. I'll have a look at the 15 Ultra when it releases. Fingers crossed.
