I always breathe a sigh of relief when looking and listening to these video's. Unlike other YouTubers, who struggle to say as much words in a minute as humanly possible, and often with an atrocious American accent, this man provides useful information in a polite manner and at a leisurely pace. Keep up the good work.
By the way, the variable aperture is really compelling to me, as aperture is one of the variables I always play around with when using my DSLR.

I've seen hundreds, maybe thousands of comparisons/reviews, and watching this here doesn't make me think I'm watching a review or comparison, but appreciating a work of art, so well done is the video and so detailed every aspect of the cameras... I'm speechless... congratulations is too little... but that's it... thank you!

Absolutely amazing review! Subscribed! I had the S24U, now using the X14U, and no regrets, i love more better the X, not just for the camera, even the 4 rounds curved glass on the display, more comfort to hold, i like everything better on Xiaomi.
Keep it up lad, greetings from NI❤

Gotta give it to xiaomi on this one, most western companies (yes I know samsung is korean, they are the exception) are going the AI way, but there's only so much software can do, chinese brands on the other hand are going the brute force way, trying to breach the gap with dslrs with big sensors, it feels like the west is trying to be the best cellphone camera while china is trying to put a phone on a dslr, I think the second aproach is the best

[scabento]

watching this on my xiaomi 14 ultra.
such a great device. so fun to play with!

The Xiaomi has a selfie portrait video. I use the Mi 10 Pro which is 4years old and it has this feature.
It's likely embedded into the filters.

‏‪9:37‬‏ This shot explains everything
Wow Xiaomi

[NicolasDR]

13:20 i disagree on this point. Samsung is oversharpening everything. To my eyes, xiaomi is better due it's natural processing

[fandcarcontent]

Definitely for the camera and video quality Xiaomi wins but for style and show Samsung is good

[CEKTAHTb]

Finally the best comparison of all no matter what phones are used since the narrator shows real cases of using camera. He is the 1st narrator, who explained that apperture is used in extending shutter speed.

I've seen almost every xiaomi 14 ultra vs S24 ultra video and this is the first one to show that the S24 Ultra pen can be used to take pictures haha, thank you, it was an awesome video.

[albertoyape]

i love using Director Mode using Xiaomi. 🎥

You can Drag and drop on Xiaomi just click edit 19:32

Hi, it is a great video, thx! But the Xiaomi 14 ultra has also "dual camera" option, but they hidden it little for some reason! It is available from the "more" setting option in camera mode and among the "short video" settings... And as at the Samsung, you can record with the front camera and you can also choose from the all four rear camera to use! 😉

I Have Got Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra 2 Months Ago I Really Like It❤

[alcibiades]

Hi Simon Great video - thank you. Always wanted to ask you which are those beautiful mountains in the background? In the shots where you focus on the village & chapel?

[kirstyhutson]

Great review thank you. Your voice is relaxing though. You need to create some sleep YouTube tracks. I don't know if it was a combination of the nice music in the background. But I feel asleep to your voice sitting in the sunshine. It was wonderful! Lol

[Abeti]

Just the comparison I was looking for. Thank you for the great video!

I wish mobile manufacturers dropped ultrawide sensors and too wide main sensors (25 mm should be the minimum). Indeed, how can one enjoy having a distorted subject that doesn’t look like what the photographer sees in reality. I’d much rather have only 2 or 3 or 4 “big” sensors all featuring sensor-crop, macro, portrait mode and 8K video :
½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, 25mm or 35 mm (Who will dare?) with variable and fast aperture ( < f/1.8)
½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, between 50mm and 75mm with variable and fast aperture ( < f/1.8)
½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, between 75mm and 100mm with variable and fast aperture ( < f/2.0)
½” to 1 inch sensor, 50 MP, dual pixel PDAF, between 100 mm and 150mm with variable and fast aperture ( < f/2.8)

The same goes with zoom over x20 or x30 : what’s the point of having a zoom beyond 500/750mm, unless it be for a “binoculars” feature ? Mobile manufacturers should focus on image quality between x1 and x30, i.e. color consistency, color accuracy, exposure accuracy and sharpness across the different lenses.
Speaking about image quality, I also wish manufacturers gave more information about and focus on the lenses manufacturing, material and coating instead of banking on A.I..

Sensor size-wise, Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo are the closest to these wishes. Yet, I own a Samsung S24 Ultra 1Tb. Why ? First, the trade-in scheme (S23 Ultra 1Tb) during the pre-order period in France and the give-away smartwatch that I sold made the phone down to 500€. Second, a phone is not all about photography : S-pen is quite handy when editing a picture, swiping on keyboard or even surfing on the internet ; with e-sim no hassle of ordering or inserting a sim card (Vivo has e-sim too) and customization is just brilliant. Finally, global versions of Chinese phones are not always available or not easy to get and Chinese versions are a deal breaker as they don't support some of 4G and 5G from European networks.

I have a Samsung S24 Ultra. And got Xiaomi 14 ultra today. And first reaction?? "Never back to Samsung!" :) First impression of the Xiaomi is sooo much better than the Samsung, and especially the camera! I will not be back to Samsung for long time.
