The iPhone video and pictures bring out the highlights without losing the dynamic range which makes the photos look more dramatic, less flat. In most cases for me this looks better. I've tried tweaking photos on the pixel 7 pro but can never match the same taken with the iPhone.
But that's all software and they destroy the photos that way, they are calibrated with crazy post processing software and when we check this in a big screen their photos are tortured with over sharpening edges everywhere. The same for Pixel and their Gcam. It's obvious when we use Gcam in other atual highend phones and compare the fidelity of the photos taken with gcam and native in a screen 34 inches or more. IPhone is the worst highend phones taking photos at night, iPhone is only good managing videos due to almost none exposure oscillations but this can be the compression method and not the camera it self.

Biggest problem is that these comparisons rarely have a good reference. If you had a RED or SONY camera system in the 8000-10000USD peice range, you could compare against a „real“ benchmark. Without context, you go for the phone camera that looks nicer or more pleasing, not the one that captures reality.

I love your low light video comparisons, especially when they include the ultrawides. Low-light ultrawide performance is THE most important feature for social dancers, since they need to take videos in very dark places, from a very close distance (hence the ultrawide) to the dancing couple they are trying to capture. If you could find even darker locations and if you could also test the focusing while recording this would be awesome!
@@ciklop4206 pixel size rather than sensor size, if no binning is used. And sensor technology also, whether microlenses are used, whether back side illumination is used etc. However, in case of the ultra-wides we are still far from the point where these kind of things are the only limiting factor IMHO. My hope is that some manufacturers start using high quality sensors with high sensitivity for the ultra wides also, coupled with optics with an F number smaller than 2. These changes alone would make a huge difference. Still, @TechTables comparison videos ROCK! :)
I don't think the iphone is color accurate but people still say it has a better white balance when it makes pictures look greenish yellow. I don't know if that is what we refer to as white. And surprising when a phone has a proper white representation in the night mode they still give it to the iPhone because of the color of the light at that point in time. I would rather prefer the original look of the place by filtering the color of the light and giving it the natural vibe.
Bro, I'm using Redmi note 11 pro china version. 1080p 60fps is shaky and 4k 30fps as well. I use google photos . Press edit and then stabilize. Works like a charm if you don't mind the editing everytime you will record videos.
Apart from the Video department! The 13 pro did trade blows, with the IPhone. And to my surprise the video audio quality sounded way better on the Xiaomi! 👌 Excellent and interesting comparison Sir Chris. 👍👍
I think the iPhone in general but especially video is the winner but one thing that surprised me about the Xiaomi is the audio quality which for my ears are much better than the iPhone
ngl, the one inch sensor from xiaomi is better than the iphone, with better color accuracy and natural look, but problem is that xiaomi needs to do optimization for their software to fully use the sensor's capability. Bigger sensors usually wins when it comes to dynamic range, color accuracy, shadow details and more.
At the 7:55 minute mark: Look at the lower right where it says 'Raymarina' on the boat. The sharpening or whatever happened there on the iPhone made a complete mess of the text. Same goes for the antenna on the top of the hill. Excessive sharpening does not mean more details and Apple has a bad habit of it with their latest models. Unfortunately many people, including reviewers, don't seem to know any better. They see an over sharpened image and start praising it. Thanks for the comparison, it's well done and clearly shows the advantage of the Xiaomi when it comes to natural sharpness.
En fotos y video, el iPhone es mejor. El video de xiaomi se ve bien, pero hay mucho contraste y textura, en cambio en el iPhone mantiene su fidelidad y realismo al grabar los videos. Un ejemplo de esto son los primeros segundos del video, fíjate bien el brillo, contraste y textura del Xiaomi, y luego fíjate el del iPhone (es fiel a la realidad). Otro ejemplo de video es cuando grabo el color del mar y las piedras. El del Xiaomi se ve increíble, pero pasa lo mismo con lo q te mencione antes, hay mucho contraste y no es fiel a la realidad
As far as the mic goes, my theory is this: assuming he labeled them correctly in the video, I think the iPhone is trying to separate the audio coming from the front from the audio coming from the back, while Xiaomi is just capturing 360 degrees. I noticed in the opening "selfie" shot, the iPhone sounds much better, because in that scenario it was actually trying to capture his voice.
It's a hard one to decide on. iPhone has the advantage on it's image staying consistent, so if processing is applied, it can be easier to apply the same processing to all shots. The Xiaomi has a more pleasing look at times but easily gets over exposed, not so sharp so easier on the eyes and vibrant... but quickly that look becomes over processed and has quite the opposite effect to being pleasing. iPhone if you plan on processing your videos. I need it for professional filming so iPhone is better, but as a consumer I would probably prefer something that I can shot and post much easier... I want my day at the beach look bright cheery without adding any processing. But, if I have the time to process, I could it getting looking much much better with the iPhone
I'm using xiaomi 11T for about a year. Xiaomi sucks at software update I recommend google pixel, samsung, or iphone. If Xiaomi promises software support for upcoming years don't believe it. Just avoid chinese phones.
Excellent comparisons :) Any Idea when is the international/EU version of Xiamoi 13 pro coming? The Chinese version has no google assistant and google drive support, so I would wait.... :)
I'm watching this comparison right after watiching the one with Xiaomi 12 T Pro and Samsung S22 Ultra. Looks like 12T Pro is better than 13 Pro. Does that make sense or its only a impression?
Can you do a long time camera review on Xiaomi flagship (chinese model specifically), because usually software updates do improve a lot on Xiaomi from my personal experience.
The fact that a Chinese company can even compare to IPhone is an amazing feet. All those who use social media professionally will definitely use iPhone along with GoPros etc. But a casual user who does even travel and like to share pictures online won't have any problem going for Xiaomi.
Hey! Do you still have the Pixel 7? I'd be interesting to see it go up against the latest Android flagships instead of the iPhone. It's cheaper and it has great photo and video performance.
when you do these tests, do you ever walk away with a definitive opinion re: which one is just overall the best? being a tech head (i assume like everyone who watches the channel lol) i get so caught up in certain aspects outperforming rival devices that i can never pinpoint which one has the edge in general
That's hard, as it changes all the time. But for video, overall best the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro max. Photos my best is the Mate 50 Pro, second pixel 7 Pro or Vivo X90 Pro+ (my top 3)
You weren't comparing the microphones of these phones, but I am more inclined towards Xiaomi for producing clearer audio as it's coming from some lav mic.
Hi Chris. Somethings wrong with the iphone's audio when you recording video from the back camera. It sounds like the stereo image get distorted. When you record from the front camera at the first part of the video the sound is good from both phones.
The Iphone seems to produce steadier video when running (though, not always as we can see on 1:07, where Xiaomi wins), but on pictures like 0:39 some can clearly see that Iphone distorts colours and does too much of internal photoshoping. In fact so much that it distorts lines, dithering some details. iPhone tries to produce "juicier" picture, as on 1:17, but I guess you can do it as well in post-editing mode on Xiaomi. So, it is as it was like last 5 years: iPhone is better in standard preset photo app, but is beaten by Xiaomi in general.
When I upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Samsung S21 Ultra, both of which feature high-end cameras, I was disappointed because I thought it's the best phones, now I preferred the Xiaomi 11 pro, but it's possible that we just have different preferences.
I once took a picture of a dog raised in a restaurant with an iPhone, but I hated it because it was automatically corrected as if the dog had shaved all its fur.😂😂
I try my Xiaomi 13Pro today ... Comparing Dolby Vision in HEVC vs AVC,, the Dolby Vision Color Reproduction is better than oversaturated default setting,,, but when try to color grade in LightRoom the result become unusable for HEVC,, artifacts destroy the Quality,,, i try switch back to AVC, it work wonder
For all photos the iphone is over sharpened, especially on greenery (grass, bushes, trees etc.), the photos have an artifical almost plastic look about them. I'm sorry but I do not like iphone day-time photos at all. Night time photos cannot really display what we actually see, although white balance is important during day light, at night its all about artificial light. Wherever we may take a photo it will be under conditions of artifical light and very little artificial light is white enough to truly reflect daylight colours. The xiaomi seemed to better cope with this condition on all even when an orange tungsten type light and yellow lighting were combined for a view that you suggested was best on the iphone, yet what would prevent me opting for the iphone's photo was the intense artificiality of the floor tables etc that the oversharpening of iphone produced. This same over sharpening is evident in the iphone's videos and this is what makes the iphone's videos appear superior (Though both seriously failed on nighttime videos). The videos may appear better but I question if they actually are, for example ; the greenery on the video of that small house is appalling on the iphone almost oil painting style, though I guess someone may claim such sharpening as "digital art". I understand the need to have a steady video shoot when moving/jogging/running etc. but i do not understand the modern trend of eliminating judder from movement all together. It is artificial and utter nonsense when compared with the reality they are supposed to capture. Both phones fail at this. I think this comparison showed the failings of both phones and today's phone trends in general.
Wait until it is properly released worldwide and it gets a first day patch. I'm sure it will be better than the iPhone in all areas. Heck, this is possible even now with the gcam, but of course the point is not having to do that.
🤣 sorry no. Xiaomi is always lower quality and lower price. If you want best camera just stop looking at xiaomi. Always been like that. And I'm not trying to defend the iphone here. If you want the best camera quality/price ratio then look at the pixels
I would like to share my thought about vdo. On 11:30 paning shot with wide lens, i think xiaomi is distortion a bit better than Iphone. I am iphone user
Absolutely love your detailed reviews.. Which phone should one buy for the camera xiaomi 13 pro or Google pixel 7 or 7 Pro The mic of xiaomi really impressed me considering i will be doing sm vlogging and the telephoto Iam also looking at the upcoming vivo x90. Basically want the best cameras under 600$
@@Techtablets wow that's a big statement but no offense I lookedat dariutech review of camera pixel 7 vs Samsung s21 fe (snapdragon) and even that beat pixel 7 or was good.. Cz xiaomi 13 pro has telephoto which 7 lacks. Are you sure or are you talking about the 7 pro Also how does it compare to the vivo x90 Thanks for the reply
PLEASE do yourself a favor and get instead for the same price or less a Pixel 7 Pro, Galaxy S23, Realme 10 Pro+. As the previous owner of a Mi9, Mi10, and Mi11, they have never improved their video quality or audio compression, put your money elsewhere, even the Nothing Phone or Oppo are better.
It will be interesting to see how and if Xiaomi will iron out some of these kinks, especially with the main camera. And if it does, I will have to take a good, hard look at my Pixel 7 Pro and consider if I really want to keep it...
@@bananawarlock3981 Xiaomi it is. Pixel is outdated and overpriced. Xiaomi are good, fast, smooth, and reliable. Hardware-wise? the xiaomi will beat the pixel.
So idk you guys. You're hating on xiaomi quite a bit for the "less detail" in the shots but all im seeing is actually just a less artificially sharpened and contrasted photos. Like honestly i think they take practically the same quality photos and if you tweaked the xiaomi photos in an editing app to have more sharpness end more contrast the shots would look identical to the iphone with a few exceptions where the the better HDR of iphone makes the difference. And like The mic... it's just so much better in the xiaomi. Also the night photos are overall better in the xiaomi. It captures more detail and only sometimes gets the colour pallet wrong, but egain you can tweak that in the editing app and overall get better low light photos with xiaomi. And the video? I think that xiaomi has actually more detail in the video. You'd think its the iphone, but if you look closely you will see the same thing as in the photos. Iphone has more sharpened and contrasted shots which makes us think it has more detail at the first glance but if you remove that, the videos will look awfully similar or even play in favour of xiaomi (of course with a few exceptions where the extreme HDR kicks in and the iphone wins for a moment). And so that you don't say im biased towards xiaomi I will admit that the dynamic video looks better on iphone. Whenever you move more, the iphone shows it's better stabilisation and more detail in those fast moving shots, but that's kind of the lack of frame rate on xiaomi's side. Over all I think that xiaomi should win this, I think it's better, but depending on what you're looking for you might choose the iphone. PS. If you include price to quality ratio in the comparison then xiaomi most definitely wins.
Con el xiaomi puedo sacar fotos tan maravillosas de las que hace supuestamente el iphone, pero antes juego con las calibraciones y logro así obtener una buena foto. Incluso usé un xiaomi POCO y a al ajustar las calibraciones muchas veces sorprendí con las fotos, incluso decían que parecía una foto tomada con una cámara reflex.
The audio from the iPhone was either wrongly exported or something else is at play here, but I only hear it with the left headphone so it most definitely isn’t normal.
I'm rather unsure why the mic sounds so terrible on the iphone. I feel like your phone stand or setup might have something to do with it cause I've tried iphones before and I haven't had it sound like this.
8:08 win to the iphone? u are joking! look at the distorted elements on the main yacht - the lines, the metal bars, the text on the boat - all looks shoddy in the iphone photo. Sorry I'm trying to pick my next phone, so I'm extra critical right now (and I dont want the Xiaomi, but it has a better photo there, eof)
@@Techtablets I did not say that it made you pick it, jsut that you looked at the wrong thing. Look at all the text on boats - apple is using some sort of ai sharpening - the letters have turned to a new language. I only mentioned I am not after xiaomi so you dont think I'm randomly hating on apple just because
5:39 that background blur on the Xiaomi is horrendous. That iPhone shot looks superior in every single way, the blur in the xiaomi looks incredibly artificial. The face pops far more on the iPhone, and it’s sharper.
Sky blue , depth of field , natural colors , 4k video - iphone is way ahead ... As a video editor for various finance channels , recently we used the regular iphone 14 and it works ....

Xiaomi needs an update to prevent video shaking. Photos and micro are excellent
Sure does
Bro, I'm using Redmi note 11 pro china version. 1080p 60fps is shaky and 4k 30fps as well. I use google photos . Press edit and then stabilize. Works like a charm if you don't mind the editing everytime you will record videos.
Apart from the Video department! The 13 pro did trade blows, with the IPhone. And to my surprise the video audio quality sounded way better on the Xiaomi! 👌
Excellent and interesting comparison Sir Chris. 👍👍
Thanks for sharing
I think the iPhone in general but especially video is the winner but one thing that surprised me about the Xiaomi is the audio quality which for my ears are much better than the iPhone
ngl, the one inch sensor from xiaomi is better than the iphone, with better color accuracy and natural look, but problem is that xiaomi needs to do optimization for their software to fully use the sensor's capability. Bigger sensors usually wins when it comes to dynamic range, color accuracy, shadow details and more.
At the 7:55 minute mark: Look at the lower right where it says 'Raymarina' on the boat. The sharpening or whatever happened there on the iPhone made a complete mess of the text. Same goes for the antenna on the top of the hill. Excessive sharpening does not mean more details and Apple has a bad habit of it with their latest models. Unfortunately many people, including reviewers, don't seem to know any better. They see an over sharpened image and start praising it. Thanks for the comparison, it's well done and clearly shows the advantage of the Xiaomi when it comes to natural sharpness.
Nunca pensé que Xiaomi iba a estar por encima del iPhone en cámara y no solo en fotos, también en vídeo, increíble!
En fotos y video, el iPhone es mejor. El video de xiaomi se ve bien, pero hay mucho contraste y textura, en cambio en el iPhone mantiene su fidelidad y realismo al grabar los videos. Un ejemplo de esto son los primeros segundos del video, fíjate bien el brillo, contraste y textura del Xiaomi, y luego fíjate el del iPhone (es fiel a la realidad). Otro ejemplo de video es cuando grabo el color del mar y las piedras. El del Xiaomi se ve increíble, pero pasa lo mismo con lo q te mencione antes, hay mucho contraste y no es fiel a la realidad
@@Gab01ss eso también depende ah muchos les gusta los color vivos y saturado
As far as the mic goes, my theory is this: assuming he labeled them correctly in the video, I think the iPhone is trying to separate the audio coming from the front from the audio coming from the back, while Xiaomi is just capturing 360 degrees. I noticed in the opening "selfie" shot, the iPhone sounds much better, because in that scenario it was actually trying to capture his voice.
Так и есть. У Xiaomi звук более натуральный, а у iPhone направленный
It's a hard one to decide on.
iPhone has the advantage on it's image staying consistent, so if processing is applied, it can be easier to apply the same processing to all shots.
The Xiaomi has a more pleasing look at times but easily gets over exposed, not so sharp so easier on the eyes and vibrant... but quickly that look becomes over processed and has quite the opposite effect to being pleasing.
iPhone if you plan on processing your videos.
I need it for professional filming so iPhone is better, but as a consumer I would probably prefer something that I can shot and post much easier... I want my day at the beach look bright cheery without adding any processing.
But, if I have the time to process, I could it getting looking much much better with the iPhone
I'm using xiaomi 11T for about a year. Xiaomi sucks at software update I recommend google pixel, samsung, or iphone. If Xiaomi promises software support for upcoming years don't believe it. Just avoid chinese phones.
Great job as always
Excellent comparisons :) Any Idea when is the international/EU version of Xiamoi 13 pro coming? The Chinese version has no google assistant and google drive support, so I would wait.... :)
Hi I believe it’s mid February or late Feb for MWC the global launch.
@@Techtablets Thank you :)
Wow this is an amazing video comparison 💕
Can you make camera test with Xiaomi 12T Pro
I'm watching this comparison right after watiching the one with Xiaomi 12 T Pro and Samsung S22 Ultra. Looks like 12T Pro is better than 13 Pro. Does that make sense or its only a impression?
I think the 12T Pro in some shots like low light yes are slightly better.
Could u compare the Xiaomi 13 pro with the regular xiaomi 13?
Great comparison hands down!
Can you do a long time camera review on Xiaomi flagship (chinese model specifically), because usually software updates do improve a lot on Xiaomi from my personal experience.
The fact that a Chinese company can even compare to IPhone is an amazing feet.
All those who use social media professionally will definitely use iPhone along with GoPros etc.
But a casual user who does even travel and like to share pictures online won't have any problem going for Xiaomi.
Hey! Do you still have the Pixel 7? I'd be interesting to see it go up against the latest Android flagships instead of the iPhone. It's cheaper and it has great photo and video performance.
does xiaomi 13 have 60fps @ 1080 for ultrawide ?
The biggest issue is the slow charging on the iPhone…
6:59 the iPhone picture is way too far away and wouldn’t even have macro mode on in that photo.
Man the audio is far better on the Xiaomi in video recording
My man ur here just wanna say huge fan
@@effefiomasuquo7794 That is very kind of you, thank you!
@@ThroughJermainesLens u're welcome sir
when you do these tests, do you ever walk away with a definitive opinion re: which one is just overall the best? being a tech head (i assume like everyone who watches the channel lol) i get so caught up in certain aspects outperforming rival devices that i can never pinpoint which one has the edge in general
That's hard, as it changes all the time. But for video, overall best the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro max. Photos my best is the Mate 50 Pro, second pixel 7 Pro or Vivo X90 Pro+ (my top 3)
You weren't comparing the microphones of these phones, but I am more inclined towards Xiaomi for producing clearer audio as it's coming from some lav mic.
The Xiaomi audio is the best but if there is any wind it becomes the worst really bad wind noise.
Smartphones really needs a build in nd filter for video. Would make daytime footage looks so much smoother.
Would be great if they did that!
Hi Chris. Somethings wrong with the iphone's audio when you recording video from the back camera. It sounds like the stereo image get distorted. When you record from the front camera at the first part of the video the sound is good from both phones.
iPhone: better quality
Xiaomi: Better Audio
The Iphone seems to produce steadier video when running (though, not always as we can see on 1:07, where Xiaomi wins), but on pictures like 0:39 some can clearly see that Iphone distorts colours and does too much of internal photoshoping. In fact so much that it distorts lines, dithering some details. iPhone tries to produce "juicier" picture, as on 1:17, but I guess you can do it as well in post-editing mode on Xiaomi. So, it is as it was like last 5 years: iPhone is better in standard preset photo app, but is beaten by Xiaomi in general.
When I upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Samsung S21 Ultra, both of which feature high-end cameras, I was disappointed because I thought it's the best phones, now I preferred the Xiaomi 11 pro, but it's possible that we just have different preferences.
2:00 There is a twitchy focus on all Xiaomi smartphones. Nobody would buy Xiaomi
I once took a picture of a dog raised in a restaurant with an iPhone, but I hated it because it was automatically corrected as if the dog had shaved all its fur.😂😂
Oh that is bad!
I can’t believe Xiaomi finally has good microphones
I try my Xiaomi 13Pro today ... Comparing Dolby Vision in HEVC vs AVC,, the Dolby Vision Color Reproduction is better than oversaturated default setting,,, but when try to color grade in LightRoom the result become unusable for HEVC,, artifacts destroy the Quality,,, i try switch back to AVC, it work wonder
Try shooting LOG 4k30 then grade that. The X90 Pro+ has Dolby vision mode, but only 1080p
For all photos the iphone is over sharpened, especially on greenery (grass, bushes, trees etc.), the photos have an artifical almost plastic look about them. I'm sorry but I do not like iphone day-time photos at all. Night time photos cannot really display what we actually see, although white balance is important during day light, at night its all about artificial light. Wherever we may take a photo it will be under conditions of artifical light and very little artificial light is white enough to truly reflect daylight colours. The xiaomi seemed to better cope with this condition on all even when an orange tungsten type light and yellow lighting were combined for a view that you suggested was best on the iphone, yet what would prevent me opting for the iphone's photo was the intense artificiality of the floor tables etc that the oversharpening of iphone produced. This same over sharpening is evident in the iphone's videos and this is what makes the iphone's videos appear superior (Though both seriously failed on nighttime videos). The videos may appear better but I question if they actually are, for example ; the greenery on the video of that small house is appalling on the iphone almost oil painting style, though I guess someone may claim such sharpening as "digital art". I understand the need to have a steady video shoot when moving/jogging/running etc. but i do not understand the modern trend of eliminating judder from movement all together. It is artificial and utter nonsense when compared with the reality they are supposed to capture. Both phones fail at this. I think this comparison showed the failings of both phones and today's phone trends in general.
You would be better off enjoying a $100 Android phone with no O.I.S and E.I.S. on video.
Hi great video, what setting are you using for the night photos on the Xiaomi. I have the Xiaomi 11 and getting crazy night glare from street lights.
Upgrade to the 13 Pro problem solved.
you should show the installed firmware versions when doing a comparison video like this. Just to calm down the haters 👍😂
Go to excuse of Apple fans.
@@bbwblk Android*
did you mess up the audios? they seem to switched
Nope it was double and triple checked. The worst audio was the iPhone
@@Techtablets woah, didn't expect that
Thanks for this comparison chris, Please do a Pixel 7 Pro Vs Xiaomi 13 Pro
Pixel is better for sure, no need to watch a comparison
The video skips while the camera is turning left and right. How do we prevent this?
Yet the iPhone doesn’t do it. Not sure how to fix it with Android they all seem to do it some worse than others.
Wait until it is properly released worldwide and it gets a first day patch. I'm sure it will be better than the iPhone in all areas. Heck, this is possible even now with the gcam, but of course the point is not having to do that.
It has had patches already and one for the camera. But yes I'll do this again with the global model when I get it.
🤣 sorry no. Xiaomi is always lower quality and lower price. If you want best camera just stop looking at xiaomi. Always been like that. And I'm not trying to defend the iphone here. If you want the best camera quality/price ratio then look at the pixels
I would like to share my thought about vdo. On 11:30 paning shot with wide lens, i think xiaomi is distortion a bit better than Iphone.
I am iphone user
I like video in the iphone, but i will choose xiaomi because price
What are you talking about? it’s more expensive than a Galaxy S22 or a Pixel 7 Pro
@@RaulBaracus maybe a secondhand one but not a new one
Absolutely love your detailed reviews.. Which phone should one buy for the camera xiaomi 13 pro or Google pixel 7 or 7 Pro
The mic of xiaomi really impressed me considering i will be doing sm vlogging and the telephoto
Iam also looking at the upcoming vivo x90. Basically want the best cameras under 600$
For the camera the Pixel 7 is better than the Xiaomi 13 Pro I feel having used both
@@Techtablets wow that's a big statement but no offense I lookedat dariutech review of camera pixel 7 vs Samsung s21 fe (snapdragon) and even that beat pixel 7 or was good.. Cz xiaomi 13 pro has telephoto which 7 lacks. Are you sure or are you talking about the 7 pro
Also how does it compare to the vivo x90
Thanks for the reply
PLEASE do yourself a favor and get instead for the same price or less a Pixel 7 Pro, Galaxy S23, Realme 10 Pro+.
As the previous owner of a Mi9, Mi10, and Mi11, they have never improved their video quality or audio compression, put your money elsewhere, even the Nothing Phone or Oppo are better.
Great point and I agree ☝️
Great video! Thank you so much!
It will be interesting to see how and if Xiaomi will iron out some of these kinks, especially with the main camera. And if it does, I will have to take a good, hard look at my Pixel 7 Pro and consider if I really want to keep it...
Xiaomi have awful judder, they always have even on the ultra models. The pixel 7 pro blows it out of the water.
@@chrisshaw8481 Not a deciding factor for me. I don't care about video. Hardly use it.
@@bananawarlock3981 Xiaomi it is. Pixel is outdated and overpriced. Xiaomi are good, fast, smooth, and reliable. Hardware-wise? the xiaomi will beat the pixel.
So idk you guys. You're hating on xiaomi quite a bit for the "less detail" in the shots but all im seeing is actually just a less artificially sharpened and contrasted photos. Like honestly i think they take practically the same quality photos and if you tweaked the xiaomi photos in an editing app to have more sharpness end more contrast the shots would look identical to the iphone with a few exceptions where the the better HDR of iphone makes the difference. And like The mic... it's just so much better in the xiaomi. Also the night photos are overall better in the xiaomi. It captures more detail and only sometimes gets the colour pallet wrong, but egain you can tweak that in the editing app and overall get better low light photos with xiaomi. And the video? I think that xiaomi has actually more detail in the video. You'd think its the iphone, but if you look closely you will see the same thing as in the photos. Iphone has more sharpened and contrasted shots which makes us think it has more detail at the first glance but if you remove that, the videos will look awfully similar or even play in favour of xiaomi (of course with a few exceptions where the extreme HDR kicks in and the iphone wins for a moment). And so that you don't say im biased towards xiaomi I will admit that the dynamic video looks better on iphone. Whenever you move more, the iphone shows it's better stabilisation and more detail in those fast moving shots, but that's kind of the lack of frame rate on xiaomi's side. Over all I think that xiaomi should win this, I think it's better, but depending on what you're looking for you might choose the iphone.
PS. If you include price to quality ratio in the comparison then xiaomi most definitely wins.
Xiaomi did Great in photography
While iPhone did Splendid in Videography
And in price iPhone wins with huge margin 😂😂
What? Price of all things?
Are they both using the same camera sensor?
The mics on xiaomi is suprisingly good!
Bro why aren't you doing any videos on the redmi k60 series??
Please review them soon 🙏
No plans to buy them, I can't buy everything and I hope to review the phones as the POCO F5 and F5 Pro

Great job Xiaomi. Its a battle between edited vs raw.
Any heating issue for xiomi if we use camera long time??
The Xiaomi 13 Pro looks actually better.
Please, leave the drugs.
@@RaulBaracus you first
@@Kats0unam1 i do agree on photos it feels better and more natural for Xiaomi, video wise i personally think iphones is better
Selfie cam is trash video(jittery) usable in low light it was pulling ahead but all around ximi is not the king the crown goes to iphun as always.:)
Some shots Xiaomi, and some 14 pro max... In my opinion we should buy both and s23ultra... 😢
Sir please tell which camera is better in image colour
Con el xiaomi puedo sacar fotos tan maravillosas de las que hace supuestamente el iphone, pero antes juego con las calibraciones y logro así obtener una buena foto. Incluso usé un xiaomi POCO y a al ajustar las calibraciones muchas veces sorprendí con las fotos, incluso decían que parecía una foto tomada con una cámara reflex.
The audio from the iPhone was either wrongly exported or something else is at play here, but I only hear it with the left headphone so it most definitely isn’t normal.
Xiaomi still didn't get the recipe right. Clipping is still a huge problem, no matter the model. Hope they'll come with an update
use gcam, problem solved
@@ChiekoGamers I do, but why they just improve things that are working that way for years?! If they improve 2 algorithms/year is enough to get ahead
I forgot the best feature which is the price difference
The iphone looks overprocess
Yeah in some shots it does seem to have some sharpening and exposure
😊😊😯😯
I'm rather unsure why the mic sounds so terrible on the iphone. I feel like your phone stand or setup might have something to do with it cause I've tried iphones before and I haven't had it sound like this.
8:08 win to the iphone? u are joking! look at the distorted elements on the main yacht - the lines, the metal bars, the text on the boat - all looks shoddy in the iphone photo. Sorry I'm trying to pick my next phone, so I'm extra critical right now (and I dont want the Xiaomi, but it has a better photo there, eof)
Apple paid me to pick it of course! No, I was looking at the whole imagine in general.
@@Techtablets I did not say that it made you pick it, jsut that you looked at the wrong thing. Look at all the text on boats - apple is using some sort of ai sharpening - the letters have turned to a new language. I only mentioned I am not after xiaomi so you dont think I'm randomly hating on apple just because
5:39 that background blur on the Xiaomi is horrendous. That iPhone shot looks superior in every single way, the blur in the xiaomi looks incredibly artificial. The face pops far more on the iPhone, and it’s sharper.
3:15 Look at the edge of the mountain, Xiaomi needs to fix that HDR algorithm issue.
very interesting comparison!
which colors were the real ones, though? the video colors were so different xD
I don't know about the cameras, they both look decent enough, but in the mic department the 13 Pro completely murdered the iPhone.
your review videos are realy awesome, thank you a lot.
have you enabled HDR on daytime videos on Xiaomi ?
Sky blue , depth of field , natural colors , 4k video - iphone is way ahead ...
As a video editor for various finance channels , recently we used the regular iphone 14 and it works ....
Iam no apple fan but apple auto focus , stabilization , cinematic video etc iphone is very underrated .
The 1 inch sensor of xiomi is nothing without a decent software integration.
Just look at the sky on all his video , rhe xiomi lens just simply whiten evwrything ....
Iphone is very underrated this year.
Is theres zoom in portrait mode in xiaomi ?! Like iphone
It's because the mic on the iPhone based which cam it uses. If using the rear, mic will be switched to the rear.
Watch where he talks on cam with the iPhone 14 pro max. Clear and crisps!
Hi buddy. Great video,. Help me out. I want good camera, I play a lot of gaming and editing for my gaming channel. Please suggest ne a good mobile under $1k.... Is Xiaomi 13pro still better?If not suggest me the best mobile for both gaming and camers
most important question...... are the recording times on the xiaomi still capped at 8 minutes for 4k an 6 minutes for 8k?
8k24 is 6 minutes. 4K no cap now. And the Vivo X90 Pro+ no caps
@@Techtablets hhmmm. I actually switched from my xiaomi 10t pro to the axon 30 ultra which has no caps all around..... But exif data shows that they're not 4K 60 they actually go as low as 4K 47 in video recording for it. I haven't had a 4K 60 video yet out of it my Max has been like 4K 55 averaging 4K 50
Can you compare the xiaomi black shark 5 whit the iPhone 13?
The iPhone rear camera is really good, the details and the stabilisation. Xiaomi mic sounds better than iPhone in some areas.
Video quality on main and telephoto camera seemed better on Xiaomi. Also mic was hell better.
