The hardware is already perfect, they just need to do some finishing improvements on software on next year's 14 Ultra.

Last year I was not really impressed with the 12S Ultra and actually doing blind tests proved me that it was not even close to other smartphones, but this year's 13 Ultra is really really impressing me, that's a hell of a step up

You've really come along way tech nick I remember when you were actually doing a lot with the Samsung S20 ultra 3 years ago and now it's all "Xiaomi Xiaomi Xiaomi". I'm glad to be part of this family😭 Arigato #technick

Honestly loved the review. Great details and great work

I like the lower amount of sharpening when shooting at 50 megapixel compared to the 4:1 binned mode

[nikytamayo]

8k24 at 5x would be so useful while doing commercial video work, if you've got a tripod.

That F4 option on the main helps, as well, for limiting shutter speed on video. I've used it sometimes for video on the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, but Xiaomi going the extra mile and making it selectable in all modes (not just pro) is super sweet.

I'd like to see and hear more about the image results on the 1" sensor unbinned (full res)? That was the strength og the Mi 10 Ultra. Curious to compare.

I had to stream this video in 1080p 60fps to truly see what that camera is all about. I don't care about 1080p selfie video though I think with such a prize it should have but I'm amazed by how good this phone is and the most important thing of all Xiaomi offers 3 years of OS updates and MIUI is more polished than ever. I'm getting this as my daily driver once it hit global stores ❤😅

[saireddy]

That camera/case accessory thing is so cool, sad you missed that in the video.

[SEVE_P]

Rather than having a camera bump, just make the phone one thickness and use the extra space for battery and i/o sockets. Other than that, it looks good, be interesting to see how the sw handles the sensor etc

Thanks for the comprehensive review. But a couple things I'd like to point out.
It's a camera centric phone, so talking about manual video recording would've been great.
Adding to that, my guess is the 4.0 aperture is there also to let the user record "cinematic" videos during the day, since the sensor is so sensitive to light that its probably jumping to insanely fast shutter speeds during the day, probably somewhere around 1/10k or faster.
The 1900 fps is not "frame by frame", it's software based. At 1080p, this is the only option so far. The real fps is probably the 3rd of that. The interpolation is clearly visible in your video.
Telephoto camera in this phone is 5x, so saying that it gets 10x "in lense" is a bit misleading.

Xiaomi didn't go all out. Xiaomi should have used imx 890 for secondary cameras, just like oppo find x6 pro. It would have been legendary.

[MarkVictorson]

man! Good to see you like always! Good nerdy reviews are what we need more of!

[PSYCHOPATHiO]

With this phone, I can eliminate carrying my heavy old trusty DSLR 7100 Nikon with all the pointless lenses. As a tourist, this will make my life easy. Amazing coverage of this phone & specially the detailed tech specs of the cameras.

[Stenlius]

Great review as always, but please provide some 100% crops when comparing the photo samples.

[kosteztelnice]

If this gets in my country I'm buying this, i don't need this not at all, but when I'll want something that makes awesome photos then this is it. That continuous 4k/60fps from the ultrawide to 15x zoom is something that blew my undies away.

[fernandofonseca]

Great review!
I'm very impressed with this beast.
Unfortunately, it may come to europe at 1500€ price😢
You forgot to mention the optional camera grip and lens filter and cover which IMO was a great enthusiast surprise😊

[justbegula]

Sucks to not have 4K on the front camera, but as someone that rarely uses it, the 13 Ultra is the best phone for me!

[relaxationmusiccertified]

Probably one of the best video recording audio I've heard.

[yildiraykomurcu]

Nice camera review. I still wonder about its slow motion capabilities you briefly mentioned. Not all reviewers talk about this. What is the maximum fps at 720p ? You said it can take 1080p at 1920fps. That's nice. How about maximum continuous shooting frame rate for 1080p ? Can it record 1080p 240fps continuously ? That would be awesome for sports events. I think it should be able to take 1080p at 240fps if it can take 4K 60fps technically. And also I believe the Chinese manufacturers block the 4K mode on front camera deliberately in software, not because the hardware is not able to do it. Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Oppo Find X6 Pro, Vivo X90 Pro Plus triple camera review will be very well appreciated, just so you know.
