Agree with Jermaine's comments about consistency in the camera's image. When the camera gets it right, photos look great. I just returned from my vacation & for the first time i went on the trip without my DSLR. That took a huge load off my backpack.
Very good Jermaine. Intro is great, I love it 😊 Also great shots ... Portraits were great and the dog picture just wow😮🙂 good work , you should be proud
Finally!! An honest review from an awesome photographer!! I love your videos about the 14 ultra, very honest clear and i got the answers that other videos did not answer! Cant wait to get my unit!!
Hi...tolles intro hast du da gefilmt...und Klar ist da noch eine Menge Arbeit für Xiaomi an Verbesserungen aber man darf auch nicht vergessen für ein Update liefert es wahnsinnig tolle Bilder ab ....andere wie Samsung brauchen ein halbes Jahr mit zig Updates und kommen nicht an das 14 ultra heran.und AUch das vivo 100 ultra wird natürlich besser sein als das xiaomi aber es ist zu perfekt....und mal ganz ehrlich wenn ich nur auf den Knopf drücke und bekomme immer das perfekte Bild wo liegt dann der Reiz an der fotografie....so freust man sich noch über ein Perfektes Foto wenn alles zusammen passt wenn nicht dann nicht so ist das leben😊...toller Kanal Daumen Hoch....grüsse aus Germany by Ralf
Oh, ich stimme der Meinung von Samsung voll und ganz zu! Sie sind einfach nicht gut... Ich liebe ihre Software, aber nicht ihre Kamera, sie ist für den Preis ziemlich schlecht. Bei diesem Xiaomi sind zwar Aktualisierungen erforderlich, aber es ist sehr solide, wenn nicht sogar das Beste, wenn es die Aufnahme gut einfängt! Ich liebe das Gefühl bei der Aufnahme auf dem Xiaomi! Und natürlich vielen Dank für die netten Worte!!
here's my tip for xiaomi. just enter the pro mode. switch to photo and setup your custom photographic style - contrast, saturation, tonality and sharpening. I reduced the contrast and sharpening and now... now I'm satisfied. Just use it and enjoy the result! by the way, you can set all other parameters on auto and basically you'll lose only the HDR... no the best HDR anyway
Thank you for the video. I have been using this smartphone for over a month now. I'm very pleased, but there are a couple of nuances. Many people will agree with me that most people take photographs of other people. And when photographing people, you need to use a telephoto camera so as not to disturb the proportions of people. So, except for the aperture, they did not change the telephoto camera. Same sensors as xiaomi 13 ultra. These sensors are already very small, compared to, for example, OPPO find x 6 pro and vivo x 100 ultra. Another disadvantage is the inability to shoot 4k 120 frames on all cameras. Also, Dolby vision is not compatible with all video modes. But overall, I am very pleased and have practically stopped taking the Canon R10 for walks.
Nice intro indeed... Puts your video up another level😊 It will be interesting to judge the Xiaomi against the 100 ultra after your longer term assessment
At the moment Vivo X100 Ultra has a unpolished OS. Bugs in it's camera settings. Perhaps later when Vivo updates the phone to iron out all these then it's a good comparison & competition. Until then Xiaomi 14U is a much better option.
Loved the intro.🔥🔥 Also love the new format you did here. It indeed helps to get across your views about the 14 Ultra. It is a phone that has so many capabilities and still a lot of potential to be even better if the pain-points are addressed, so you probably wouldn't have gotten that across in your usual style (which i love too btw).
Thank you very much!!! Drawn everything out that I had in my head to then film it, which... well wasn't easy hahahaha. The tripod and position was hard to get right hahaha. And agreed, I feel like this was needed to really confey that message, so I am glad it did! Thank you!
@@ThroughJermainesLens yeah, probably isn't something to do for every video. Which isn't needed either tbh. You usually get the point across just fine, but this case was indeed special. I have the 14 Ultra as well and although I love it, something felt a little off but I couldn't quite tell what it was... I am just a photography fan and far from a Pro like you of course, but I do see the inconsistency too. And seeing this video, it all fell in place for me. Still, I hope Xiaomi is working on a serious update, I find it strange that we only had one update so far. I have the OPPO Find X7 Ultra too since March and that has gotten 8 or 9 updates so far. And huge ones too, seriously improving things.
@@pe_1980 yeah, the chinese version foes seem to have had a good amount of updates, we however... Not lol. For me being a Pro i wouldn't day that, i would still myself amateur or maybe a step above that xD And yeah i perfectly know how you feel about the 14, hard to truly describe because man when it nails it, it is so damn good
@@ThroughJermainesLens You don't have to say it, we will do that for you.😅 Well, to me you are a Pro so, compositions, editing... All are great. It is my first Xiaomi phone, so not exactly sure what to expect in terms of updates. Don't really care about updates, as long as everything works. And they don't take like 4 months or so to come.😅 For now I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, Samsung hasn't fixed its camera problems either after 4 or 5 firmware updates.
@@pe_1980 i do appreciate that! I do! And yeah the number of updates doesn't matter to me, but it needs work so no updates stand out 😅 And Samsung yeah that one is just a lot of no for me 😅
I've been using it for more than a month now. I would say the camera quality is damn amazing, and I am very satisfied with it. However, there are also times when I am disappointed. Sometimes the pictures are overexposed, and the skin tone is somewhat oversaturated which requires adjustment. The issue that I would love to see on this phone is battery life. SOT is around 3 to 6 hours from 100 to 20% depending on the usage. Most of the time, for me, the SOT is 3hrs and 30mns to 4hrs and 30mns.

Hope they can fix the inconsistencies with further software updates.
Well described about xiaomi. It needs to work hard on their hdr rear and specially on their front cameras. They are in urgent need to patchup the potraits perameters by update. But we all know it is very slow in that case but i am sure infuture they will. But i must say even without the update currently the xiaomi cameras are leaps and bounce ahead of so called flagship samsung and apple cameras. Anyways well presented thoughts and love the intro, keep it up.
I have also owned a Xiaomi 14 Ultra since pretty much the official launch in Europe. My experience with the device is similar to yours. I am torn between the two. Sometimes the 14 Ultra takes really fantastic photos only to completely fail a little later. What I have noticed as a big weakness are HDR photos. Xiaomi really needs to work on that again. Sometimes I don't even dare to take landscape photos in the sunshine anymore, because I always have to worry that the sky is completely overexposed. I actually had the Vivio x100 Pro in mind at first, but decided against it because of some non-existent frequency bands and the lack of Android Auto support. But I still have some regrets about the Vivo, especially for HDR shots. Hopefully Xiaomi will release a few camera updates for the 14 Ultra to fix the problems.
it is so odd right!? and HDR, it really depends indeed! And the Vivo X100 pro doesn't that have a global release? So that should come with android auto?
@@ThroughJermainesLens I am unsure about the Vivo x100 pro. When I do the compatibility check at Tradingshenzen, for example, the 800Mhz band is missing and it tells me that Android Auto would not work. Maybe it's because Tradingshenzen sends the Chinese version and not the global one?
@@ThroughJermainesLens exactly in my opinion they need better sensors too. And better video as well. The fact that Xiaomi has log but Sony never imported any slog profiles into neither the 1 series or the PRO I is insane to me
Interesting points. I've read reviews on the Xperia phones. They sound great, but many have said they're still not as good as a Rx100, for example. I guess they are good for what they are, but are smartphones trying to compete with point-and-shoot cameras when they cannot match them, realistically? Meaning, isn't it much better to get a Decent separate camera instead? How would you position the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in this?
This is a great video. Is it possible to compare this to the Sony Xperia 1 vi please. Does the xiaomi have the same pro level style adjustments in the photography department? For example as the Sony etc. Thanks 👍
@@sense2001 mmmmmm i would say go vivo x100 pro probably;) current Xiaomi isn't the best with focus in video when it comes to the periscope, and i have heard great things gor the vivo about that
As a 14 ultra user i 100% agree. Inconsistency is an issue. If it hits, it hits hard. But i hate the sleepy software updates. 1.0.11 seems to have upgrades for the camera. We are on 1.0.6
@@hubert_rutkowski do you have firmware 1.0.11? I have the CN version as well and am on firmware 1.0.09. No new updates pending for me either so idk...🤔

@@njamutohbertrand9318 Usw xiaomi firmwarefinder so you can see whats the newest version for your region. Thats the issue right there with all the updates
@@ThroughJermainesLens i already researched. It that much money i can buy a hohem professional gimbal and k&f premium nd filter. 🥲 I am trying to contact yt reviewers if they want to sell by any chance. Anyways thanks for help and i like your reviews. ❤️
Those log shots 🤯🤯🤯 And pictures are always over exposed 😢,I am really confused with this phone right now waiting for a good update Update :I love this phone right now , after spending some time on it I am starting to get good pictures and videos 😅
Coming from the s22u, which would last me most of the day, often needing a short boost towards the evening to make it to bedtime... My 14u (CN version) has been a noticeable upgrade in battery.
At the end lenses with this small sizes will never be able to make real good photos, no matter what kind of sensor they have. Smartphone photography will always be limited in my opinion.
Vivo x100 ultra will definitely beat xiaomi 14 ultra in terms of telephoto lens sensor size but those who like Xiaomi leica color tuned will love it. Vivo is going too much on HDR which is definitely good for whoever likes it
Vivo is for average phone user where users expect everything comes out looking sharp & bright. Not for photographers as it can't handle dark shadows by brightening everything up to daylight.
I will buy xiaomi 14 because of Jermanie
