Last year I was not really impressed with the 12S Ultra and actually doing blind tests proved me that it was not even close to other smartphones, but this year's 13 Ultra is really really impressing me, that's a hell of a step up
Where did u do blind tests. Big screen test raw or jpg doesn't matter, 1" easily beats every other phone. I am a professional photographer. And with gcam, it is untouchable, nothing comes close. Maybe 23 ultra, except for oil painting.
@@rizakayan MKBHD conducted a blind test site last year and I did it in a 55" 4K TV as a monitor and it did not go well for the 12S Ultra.

You can be as professional as you want but stating that a 1" sensor is better than ALL OTHER when it comes to smartphone cameras is not the final truth at all... there will be other aspects to put on the table as well, and since we're talking about smartphones and not DLSR, and also about this video's content, it all comes down to opening the camera app and shooting, and the 12S Ultra from last year was bad.
Mi phones are just boring and the camera is just not good enough like Vivo or Samsung. I sold my 12s ultra and bought vivo x90 pro+ and totally satisfied Looking at this video i feel 13 ultra is copy paste of 12s ultra. Never again!
With this phone, I can eliminate carrying my heavy old trusty DSLR 7100 Nikon with all the pointless lenses. As a tourist, this will make my life easy. Amazing coverage of this phone & specially the detailed tech specs of the cameras.

8k24 at 5x would be so useful while doing commercial video work, if you've got a tripod. That F4 option on the main helps, as well, for limiting shutter speed on video. I've used it sometimes for video on the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, but Xiaomi going the extra mile and making it selectable in all modes (not just pro) is super sweet.
Rather than having a camera bump, just make the phone one thickness and use the extra space for battery and i/o sockets. Other than that, it looks good, be interesting to see how the sw handles the sensor etc
I had to stream this video in 1080p 60fps to truly see what that camera is all about. I don't care about 1080p selfie video though I think with such a prize it should have but I'm amazed by how good this phone is and the most important thing of all Xiaomi offers 3 years of OS updates and MIUI is more polished than ever. I'm getting this as my daily driver once it hit global stores ❤😅
Thanks for the comprehensive review. But a couple things I'd like to point out. It's a camera centric phone, so talking about manual video recording would've been great. Adding to that, my guess is the 4.0 aperture is there also to let the user record "cinematic" videos during the day, since the sensor is so sensitive to light that its probably jumping to insanely fast shutter speeds during the day, probably somewhere around 1/10k or faster. The 1900 fps is not "frame by frame", it's software based. At 1080p, this is the only option so far. The real fps is probably the 3rd of that. The interpolation is clearly visible in your video. Telephoto camera in this phone is 5x, so saying that it gets 10x "in lense" is a bit misleading.
What about the sound during video recording? In another review they showed video from this phone with sound, and for me, being used to iPhone sound which is great, this one seemed a bit lower quality😢 some echoes and overall not as good as the iphone's full stereo sound recording... or so it seemed from a youtube review. did you test that out, how was the sound in videos from this phone?
Nice camera review. I still wonder about its slow motion capabilities you briefly mentioned. Not all reviewers talk about this. What is the maximum fps at 720p ? You said it can take 1080p at 1920fps. That's nice. How about maximum continuous shooting frame rate for 1080p ? Can it record 1080p 240fps continuously ? That would be awesome for sports events. I think it should be able to take 1080p at 240fps if it can take 4K 60fps technically. And also I believe the Chinese manufacturers block the 4K mode on front camera deliberately in software, not because the hardware is not able to do it. Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Oppo Find X6 Pro, Vivo X90 Pro Plus triple camera review will be very well appreciated, just so you know.
Hi Nick, I like your review - you cover most things relevant... But one question remans in my head: Would you use Xioami 13 Ultra to record your RUclips videos? Can you make one so we can see how good is it in doing a real job?
To a Brazilian channel that did this with the Xiaomi 13 Pro and said that he would easily use it instead of using the cameras he used. Channel name is 35 MILÍMETROS
A popular backup pocket camera for photographers has been Sony's RX100 series when they don't plan to carry a full fledge DSLR. This Xiaomi 13 Ultra is now going to be a strong contender given the price is similar to the RX100 Vii.
It's awesome to see eastern manufacturers stepping up their game big time. Chinese companies now have the best hardware. 4 high quality cameras may sound overkill, but if a 900 dollar phone can do it, then anything above that can and should have it. The bar has been set.
@@craigdjones1978 From what I can gather, the Chinese audience doesn't care a lot about the selfie camera. It's a trend among chinese manufacturers not to enable 4k in the front camera and I, too, don't understand why. It's certainly not a hardware limitation. But it's definitely not a deal breaker for me. I hardly ever use the front camera. If you find the front cam so important, you should look into devices that specialize in that, some even have dual front cameras. The camera kit on the back produces photos much closer to a dslr than any other phone(except the x90 pro plus and a couple others), and that's the most important aspect for me.
I have the Samsung s23 Ultra. I'm not looking to buy another mobile. It's just a hobby of mine to keep up-to-date with what's going on with all the different flagships that's all mate. I just feel that they should've added a better front camera and 4k video cos the phone would be the best at everything on the planet. I think that Xiaomi will do this on the 14 Ultra
Nice review. My first comment since i started following your channel. This phone is absolutely unique. It's packed with almost everything because i heard you mention the Ir blaster too. I wish this actual model will come to Nigeria but without the 5G network, because i don't think we have 5G here yet.
If this gets in my country I'm buying this, i don't need this not at all, but when I'll want something that makes awesome photos then this is it. That continuous 4k/60fps from the ultrawide to 15x zoom is something that blew my undies away.
I'm still laughing about how I would still pay almost 500€ less for a Find X6 Pro imported from China than I would for a locally buyable S23 Ultra at 1600€.

@@ezechieldzimeyor4541 that’s your personal preference but for many people selfie camera is just as important as main camera The camera king should have the most balanced overall camera system There is no phone that will win every aspect of camera comparisons But the king wins the most categories as possible Being a 2023 flagship with a crappy selfie camera is un acceptable this is not a mid range device..this is a premium top tier device
it has a dual flashlight too. i think you forgot to mention that. i have this phone and i tought it was quite pointless first, especially when its that close to each other.. until i used it. the light spreads a lot wider than you might think, in comparison to other smartphone flashlights.
@TechNick Please can you tell me what zoom options are available in Pro mode for each lens with RAW capture enabled? I'm curious since RAW capture doesn't allow digital zoom as it captures raw sensor data
Depends on whether it covers the bands in your country. For people in many European countries the Chinese model is a bad option due to no band 20 (it has the worst band support of all Chinese version flagship phones. All other companies provide it). If it has all the bands for your country and you don't mind the Chinese OS, and you want to save a bit of money you could go with the Chinese version.

Even naming the thumbnail "End of DSLR" shows that this guy has 0 knowledge about (semi-) professional photography since DSLR has been dead for a couple of years now and no camera brand focuses on their DSLR lines anymore. Rx100 mk1 will make way worse photos than a current flagship smartphone given that it doesn't process the pictures, so you will have to edit the photos extensively to make them look great.

This camera system seems more advanced then what Samsung, Apple, Honor, and Oppo have to offer. I'll of course make to watch comparison videos before I make up my mind but I don't think I'm the only one where meh selfies don't bother me. This product doesn't really seem like something most mainstream people would go for let alone know exists so while they shouldn't have cheaped out on the selfies I don't think it will bother the very niche group of people that end up buying the phone
@@ezechieldzimeyor4541 that’s your personal preference but for many people selfie camera is just as important as main camera
The camera king should have the most balanced overall camera system
There is no phone that will win every aspect of camera comparisons
But the king wins the most categories as possible
Being a 2023 flagship with a crappy selfie camera is un acceptable this is not a mid range device..this is a premium top tier device
it has a dual flashlight too.
i think you forgot to mention that.
i have this phone and i tought it was quite pointless first, especially when its that close to each other..
until i used it.
the light spreads a lot wider than you might think, in comparison to other smartphone flashlights.
@TechNick Please can you tell me what zoom options are available in Pro mode for each lens with RAW capture enabled? I'm curious since RAW capture doesn't allow digital zoom as it captures raw sensor data
should we wait on the global or grab this now🤷🏾♂️
Depends on whether it covers the bands in your country. For people in many European countries the Chinese model is a bad option due to no band 20 (it has the worst band support of all Chinese version flagship phones. All other companies provide it). If it has all the bands for your country and you don't mind the Chinese OS, and you want to save a bit of money you could go with the Chinese version.
@@solas1183 appreciative my guy...im in the states phoenix arizona ...guess i need to check the bands
wait
@@rjrex8 ok
Damn, the ultrawide camera is so good, both video and photos, first time I'm seeing a android phone being perfect all round.
Does it have a built-in screen recorder that records video chat calls with sound on both sides?
What about finger print scanner, its optical or ultrasonic?
very extensive and informative review, well presented and very clear video. My only gripe was the voice audio -it is echoing and sounds metallic. Hope u can change your microphone. Thanks
Not the end of DSLR, but definitely the end of point and shoot. Besides full frame has it's advantages after all.
DSLR is not even a thing anymore. Most professional use mirrorless cameras today
@@RacoonFighter Pro still use dslr since there is no need to change something that works.
I believe even an rx100 mk1 will take better photos than Xiaomi's new flagship, samples look bad.
@@alexokanenas7456 No lol, the big majority use mirrorless cameras. Even naming the thumbnail "End of DSLR" shows that this guy has 0 knowledge about (semi-) professional photography since DSLR has been dead for a couple of years now and no camera brand focuses on their DSLR lines anymore.
Rx100 mk1 will make way worse photos than a current flagship smartphone given that it doesn't process the pictures, so you will have to edit the photos extensively to make them look great. I saw a test a few years ago with iPhone 13 pro vs Canon R6 and you couldn't see major differences in the pictures.
Point and was over a while ago !
Nick, can you review xiaomi pad 6?
What is the lowest the display can go? I have problem with most phones that it's too bright even on the lowest level.
Probably has extra dim button in the pull down menu like Samsung and most other androids at this point.
@@jtec99 maybe it does, mine mi9 doesn't have it, that's why I'm asking. It's not funny when your retina blows up when you'll wake up at 2am and open your phone to see what time it is xD
@@kosteztelnice i believe miui does now have that feature, but i could be wrong
@@kosteztelnice yeah same here bro. I've never owned one of these so indodnt have a reference point
Mi 9 is too old, buy Xiaomi 13 Ultra
I actually do see it as the end of DSLR / mirroless cameras. Its the first time I don't feel like I need my regular camera
Thanks for a great video -it's good that you covered all the relevant points in one piece
I'm def getting xiaomi 13 ultra, looks amazing phone
Will gcam allow 4k recording for the front cam?
Have we got a UK release date ?
Is it coming to UK?
Does Google Assitant work on 13U? I have 11U and it is not working.
is this flagship model still advertisement base? I own Mi Note 10 and it's a good phone but basically out of box adware if not self fine tune it away in settings..
What is different between 13 altra and 13 pro?
Thanks to 13ultra being launched, I ordered a 12s ultra on discount 😅
Good choice 😀
How much and from. Where?
@@MirSarwar if you are in europe, tradingshenzen is very reliable
@@Blue-sb9fy I got my mi 11 Ultra from there. However they make you pay a high premium on the China price
727€ from trading shengzen, bought the base version
great camera review man..
I would lik a review of 13 note pro +5g it has 200 mp is that any good , i also like suoer macro mode as i take pictures of my flowers and leaves . Can telephoto do the same as super macro , i love my redmi note 10 pro it takes great pictures but i need to change now ,what would you suggest after reading my coment ?
Cheers love your review they are very clear and straight to the point 😊
Can u plz tell me about xiaomi 13 ultra phone overheating issue while recording videography and photography. How long can you make videos continuously without overheating?
Plz give me a genuie answer. Thanks.
Eagerly waiting for comparison
S23U 13u
While I agree this is the new camera king, to say that it's ahead by a large margin is a bit of an exaggeration. This is still top of my list to possibly be the first phone I import to the US of Sony doesn't do anything this summer.
Amazing. Did someone noticed that f*cking wonderful place too ?
HELLO;
According to you, what is the phone with better camera ? Xiaomi 13 ultra ? Thanks for your answer :)
Hi Nick.. Next time can u aslo talk about astro photography capabilities for all the phone's camera
The design reminds me of Panasonic cm1... Even more with the texture
Was wondering how this takes pictures of stars? Whats the longest time the shutter can be set to?
dmmn that main camera is super sweet
Fantastic review.
very satisfied for this review. hope it will be re-review after a month. 😊
Ini hape yg saya tunggu2
Sy lanjutin nunggunya sampe harga 4jutaan
Can switch lens without stop recording on 60fps video?
We need Battery drain test of this device
would be interesting to see how it stands against the find x6 pro
Happy to see all phones now are competing on cameras. Photography is keeping the competitions and youtubers’ livings. Anything else is just thing u can survive without with.
Because of the price difference in Europe to China what would be the downside to importing it from China? It has google services
Can you also review the ROG Phone 7?
please review it's global version .. chinese version is oriented to their markets only .. there's a difference in camera colours and skin tones
Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Try RF 135mm 1.8 on R5 and review again😊
Camera 13 ultra and magic 5pro which better?
