When the video started I already knew s21 is gonna win. RIP DXOMark.

There is a wide conflict of opinions among the Reviewers... Some say, Mi 11 ULTRA is the best and some others say SAMSUNG S21 Ultra is better....They are really confusing the Subscribers and the prospective buyers...So, it's better to see with our own eyes and decide..👍😁

Goes to show Samsung has really knows what it's doing (so long as they don't rush to market). Glad I traded my S20 U for a S21 U

[johnp.]

I prefer the camera of S21 Ultra as it's more consistent and has better zoom quality. Having said that, Xiaomi is getting real close to Samsung and this is good for us the consumers.

[kapilaseth]

I will choose S21 Ultra as Samsung is consistent in software updates and dynamic range and colors are more vibrant as well as natural

4:25-4:30 Xiaomi was winning but he had to say that you can get a similar result on the S21 Ultra if you manually switch to the night mode. Well you can get better selfies on the Mi 11 Ultra if you turn off beautification features. Since the S21 ultra needed assistance from night mode to take a better photo in a dark room why didn't he turn on the same mode on the Mi 11 Ultra in the same room? What a joke. At 7:58 the zoom comparison is the worst I've ever seen. It was basically a normal photo comparison. Instead of making a detailed comparison of details, edges, shadows, cropping and backgrounds of more than one photo and scenarios he quickly jumps to video comparison and we all know the S21 Ultra has better video zoom. A proper zoom comparison is when you snap something 100 meters away and zoom till you see the better details but since that's one aspect in which Mi 11 Ultra beats S21 Ultra it had to be rushed. When Xiaomi takes better photos or videos he says it's hard to choose the winner. When Xiaomi takes natural colors he says they are bleaker or washed out so they're bad. When it takes beautified colors he says they're fake. When S21 Ultra takes natural colors he says it has better judgement. When it also takes beautified photos he says they're vibrant so they're good. I believe the S21 Ultra is still better than Mi 11 Ultra overall but making Mi 11 Ultra look bad in aspects where it is better than the S21 Ultra is misleading. That said there wasn't a proper zoom and night mode comparison, exact areas where the Mi 11 Ultra shines.

Someone has been watching MrWhosTheBoss recently

it is true that color rendition on mi 11 ultra is worse than s21 ultra, BUT as far as it concerns main camera texture and details are far better on mi 11 ultra, that is why you should have given that point to mi 11, cause you can change color rendition with some software update in the future but you can not add texture or details no matter what software you are gonna use. So could you tell us please why you did not mention anything about texture and details only color rendition on your review?
P.S. Before anyone saying I am a Xiaomi guy or anything like that, since 2008 and until today I own ONLY Samsung phones and for the first time I am considering of buying something else like m11 ultra (or maybe upcoming xperia 1III)

The best phone, "Samsung S21 Ultra". But in low light the video its better MI 11 ultra.

[RishabhLyt]

Still would choose s21 ultra : better ui, better updates, decent bloatware, good ram management, goof cameras and one of the best displays in the industry 🔥🤷🏻‍♂️

[fedegrox]

i havent heard you saying that S21U has the very latest camera software update, while the Mi11U its in an alpha state cam software. and the back screen on the Mi11U isnt a killer cool feature?. you are not partial.

[jackkelly]

Good video, wow great review bro nice work 👍👍

[AndrewSmith-yysd]

Nice & fair comparison. Usually when I watch camera comparisons where the xiaomi won you can tell that the reviewer favored the xiaomi by the way they hype up the brand in the beginning of thier video making it clear its thier favored brand, nothing neutral about thier comparison. The S21 is the obvious better overall camera & phone. How good are xiaomi phones with updates & security patches overtime??

[clausgedved]

Thank you for a very good comparison.
It seems to me that ultra wide camera on the S21 has better dynamic range.
Did you use the Qualcomm version of the S21? And did you have any issues with depth of field with Xiaomi main camera

[oviandre]

Good video.just wait until mi 11 ultra get couple software updates and do this comparison again.s 21 ultra had 5 software updates on first month on the market.its not fair..

[ayushkumar]

In India S21 Ultra Is Prices roughly $250 more than Mi 11 Ultra. So for Indian Market going for Mi 11 Ultra over S21 Ultra is No Brainer.

[krantig]

S21 ultra has better camera setup and 3 good software updates so far. As of now it's better. Mi pictures are inconsistent as of now.
But Mi ultra is still on beta stock software, has better cpu performance, better charging, brighter screen, louder speaker, faster charger and rear display to take pics which also is going to have video support in next update. Value for money is Mi11 ultra. In india it's much cheaper than S21 ultra

[moditb]

Xiaomi messed up with the front camera lol

[RsAT]

Is this a SD888 S21 Ultra in the Video ?
