Can confirm on the battery part. Was borrowing my friend's 14 Ultra and after only an hour or so dropped from 40% to 20%. No idea how it's that bad after the 13 Ultra has good enough battery life. Either the camera is sippin all that juice or Hyper OS isn't as battery efficient as I like. Or screen who knows. All I know is battery is it's weakest link
I totally agree with the battery draining 🙃. It's awful. Even when it is screened off, the battery is still draining like crazy. Wonder when will this issue be fixed 😢
Thank you for the update - most appreciated. I just hope Xiaomi are watching and address the few remaining points to make thsi a truely award winning phone, which indeed it should be. Hopefully mine will turn up some time today...!
Great overview. Meanwhile I am waiting for HyperOS 2.0 arriving for me on my chinese device. Talkong about the camera grip. They should add the 3.5mm mic jack as well on it or allow for the USB-C to OTG on the grip so we can use wireless mics with the grip on.
You can use the mini USB as a headphone port, I got a JBL headset that plugs in to the mini USB then I checked 4 different phones and it works on all of them
honestly I would realisticly say they are on 1 line for me, the vivo is more consistent, better macro, nicer modes for portraits, and better battery life. The xiaomi 14 Ultra has the better photography feel in shots where characther really matters, and of course a global version.
Very interesting review, feedback and personal thoughts and experience at the same time. Just wondering whether you would pick up the Galaxy S24 Ultra over Vivo and Xiaomi if looking at photography + battery life? I had it for a few days along with OPPO Find X7 Ultra and was pleasantly surprised. Cameras performance appeared to be a way better than I thought. Cheers
Thank you;) and no, s24 ultra great software, love the display, camera is however pretty poor! Not only dies it laxk character or any feel, it also struggled in daytime with noise in some cases, and over sharpening. On my through jermaine's lens i did a few videos on it to showcase how it performs
I am a supporter of paying the least attention to software bokeh. It still remains a poor attempt to imitate natural depth of field, which in itself is an amazing optical phenomenon. Depth of field is not just separating the foreground from the background, it is an opportunity to capture the magnificence that nature gives. I think artificial bokeh will never be able to capture dust particles in the air that fall into focus and smoothly disappear, expanding in space as they move away. Like the ends of hair in the rays of the sun. But now you can already observe this when photographing from a close distance. I'm just waiting for mobile photography to reach a new level.
The camera does sip the juice of it but its an incredible device and i am very very happy with mine. Especially since the pixel 7 pro let me down big time
Hello, how does Always on work on X14U? Does it turn off in dark room even when it's set to be "always on"? Which kinda kills the "night clock" feel of like samsung and pixel, where it is true AoD.
I gave Xiaomi a chance with the Mi 11 Ultra, top specs on paper, best snapdragon of the time. All together a pretty good package if it wasn't for the horrendous browsing experience where I would get flickering black sqears in any browser.(Proves to me, Android just isn't there yet) and I'm not even starting on the broken promise of SW-update. That is unforgivable for a 1200€ Flagship wannabe.

Do you also have that issue where the grip keeps charging even when it's 100%? And even when the option to stop charging when it reachs 80% is enabled...
I love photography so i got the 14 Ultra but it has horrible soft focus issues so i returned it and got another one but that had the same issues mainly of the 75mm and 120mm. Portraits were just soft wiith no focus or clarity but not every shot so it was hit or miss but mainly miss so i returned that. Now ive pre-ordered the 14T Pro. I teaed it in the shop and i was really impressed plus i saved some money. 😂
I would say we are getting closer to the new releases, so wait and see what that offers, if it isn't much more then the 14 ultra, you can at least get that 14 ulta on a discount because of the new release.
@@Conceptcreator thank you, and yes next year is getting closer. I'm currently more in favor of vivo, but I'm gonna wait for next releases to see which one is the best. Hope you get to review oppo next time too, its also a beast!
@@Conceptcreator you did mention 'not like others', when talking about the battery. So yes, you brought others in the conversation by saying 14u was bad on battery. But you didn't mention other brands, that's correct.
That's a lie! Don't use your bad experience with the phone as an example for everyone... I use my s24 ultra from 80 to 20% and I get 6 hours sot! And nearly no heating

HyperOs is very very very bad for battery. My pad 5 went from 5 days to 2. That's not at all the same user's experience.
I totally agree with the battery draining 🙃. It's awful. Even when it is screened off, the battery is still draining like crazy. Wonder when will this issue be fixed 😢
@@andylive974 it do be like that for unoptimized software. Gonna wait a lot more for that.
@@RithyEK-vj1qdis it fixed already up to this date?

no problem! And yeah it has a lot of potentiol!!!

Yes! That is a great idea about the 3.5mm headphone jack! And we know we will have to wait for a while and me longer 🤣🤣
Man
Imagine the next grip having most of the ports of mirrorless, sd card slot 🥹🥹
xiaomi 14 ultra or honor magic 6 pro?in term of UI, software update support and battery life in long term experiences
You can use the mini USB as a headphone port, I got a JBL headset that plugs in to the mini USB then I checked 4 different phones and it works on all of them
Would you choose it over the vivo x100 ultra (considering the UI , gaming experience, multitasking and for sure the cameras)?
honestly I would realisticly say they are on 1 line for me, the vivo is more consistent, better macro, nicer modes for portraits, and better battery life. The xiaomi 14 Ultra has the better photography feel in shots where characther really matters, and of course a global version.

100% correct!!!!!
Xiaomi 14 Ultra or Vivo X100 Pro - battery, gaming, photos, display? Maybe you can compare Vivo vs Xiaomi - after updates?
as a xiaomi user, vivo software is better, but only the chinese versione, also it's getting android auto
Honestly, only the tele is good on vivo. I returned it and now own 14U. But the lens fogging can be an issue for some.
Sir which one better phone between s24 ultra or xiaomi 14 ultra
Moi aussi j'aimerais bien savoir
Please en anglais😅
Pour ma part, je parle pour les photos
I would easily pick the 13 ultra for camera, software support will be better ok Samsung
Good day! Been having a blast with my 14 ultra, but i could not seem to find out how to make the multi cam work.. have you tried it?
yeah I tried it, and didn't work for me neither ;)
i was waiting for this video. thank you for explaining everything
no problem!! :D
The camera does sip the juice of it but its an incredible device and i am very very happy with mine. Especially since the pixel 7 pro let me down big time
Love the start of the video the car part but i have to say even with the updates i have to say i would not buy it myself
hahahaha yeah you don't need something like this! And thank you ;)

Can this camera make phone calls.

I'm still to try a Xiaomi, perhaps next year will be the year. Great review as always, surprised about the battery life 😮
Yeah battery life isn't great and something they should work on without a doubt!
Do you recommend Xiaomi 14 ultra OR Samsung s24 ultra sir ??
For me easily Xiaomi, s24 ultra was very lackluster for me when it comes to the camera. software is good though

Does your 14 ultra have a lot of sounds when you rotate or shake your phone? sound from the camera OIS I mean
It's just the hardware. Once you go into the camera app, it will disappear 🥹. You can try shaking your phone while in the camera app; the sound disappears.
It doesn't disappear for me
A lot, a lot, a lot. Even when making videos
And stabilization is very bad at x30. Impossible to shoot
@@andylive974 Once I faced this issue, but I switched to pro mode it became ok. because stabilizer in pro mode is always working, to for just zooming
Hmm. Thinking of buying Xiaomi 14 Ultra or iPhone 16 pro just for the photos..
Might be getting the 16 pro if contract is accepted, will compare the 2 if it is
Do you also have that issue where the grip keeps charging even when it's 100%? And even when the option to stop charging when it reachs 80% is enabled...
I have
People have complained of lens fogging are you getting this?
I have heard that yes, but i haven't experienced anything like that
@@Conceptcreator 👍 that’s good to know
Has anyone purchased insurance for Ultra 14? If so, could anyone recommend a good all-round insurance plan for this phone with international coverage?
Which version of software is the phone currently on? I'm on 1.0.11
recently I got 1.0.12 ;) but it was 75mb from 1.0.09 to that
I love photography so i got the 14 Ultra but it has horrible soft focus issues so i returned it and got another one but that had the same issues mainly of the 75mm and 120mm.

I like xiaomi over vivo mainly because of hyper os and other features
fair fair :)
HyperOs is might be good in there flagship but I don't think it is same for budget Xiaomi (i have redmi k50i)
Im currently using the mi 11 ultra, should I get any of the current flagships or is it better to just wait for next releases?
I would say we are getting closer to the new releases, so wait and see what that offers, if it isn't much more then the 14 ultra, you can at least get that 14 ulta on a discount because of the new release.

1tb isn't available global.
First ! Lol. Sorry I took slightly longer !
whuahahahahahah it's fine
@@Conceptcreator Lol. Thanks man ! Great video so far !
We want curvy women and flat screens.! Fact
Battery problems, that other phones doesn't have. Ehm, you obviously never tried other phones. S24u can't survive 1 day on the slightest heavy usage.
I didn't bring any other phone into the conversation when it comes to battery life. Just saying it isn't good at all on the 14 ultra
