The 12T Pro did an amazing job against the 14 Pro Max and S22 Ultra! I might just buy the 12T Pro! For the price, it offers amazing performance!

[TheJackweiser]

The audio quality on the S22 is simply brilliant as opposed to the other 2. That's a surprise to be honest, especially when the 13 Pro Max had way better audio quality. Even the selfie portrait on the S22 Ultra was wow. Kudos to Samy this season. 👏

[toxmustdie]

wow the 12T pro doing a lot better than i expected, especially since you put it against 2 beast of cameras phones !

[KJEstefan]

You're too hardworking man! Thanks for your dedication.
Im surprised with the performance of 12T.

[harveydonovan]

The fact that the 12T Pro is 200 EUR cheaper than the S22 Ultra and nearly half the price of the Iphone 14 Pro Max makes it quite interesting here

[archie]

Agree with all the result your scoring ✨
12t = best potrait
s22u = overall photos
14 pm = videos
14 pm = best macro

I think Samsung was the most consistent of all them .The iPhone colors were not true to the subject matter.

[Tomoa]

At half the price, not half bad! I was put off by the mere 8MP wide angle camera, but it came out quite on par after all.

[YYLiow]

Colours are more important for me. So definitely the 12T pro for me. With the pricing it's a steal.

I have been using the Xiaomi 12tpro for more than two months, a device that is used in an easy and smooth manner, and it has a large random memory, and its processor is of the type Snape Drakon 5, and it has a very good front camera, compared to the three versions. I advise you to buy it

[TheLox]

considered that the xiaomi 12t pro is against 2 phones that cost 2 times more, its amazing value for the money. it wins hands down just for the price difference, even its not the best of the three phones.

[jaffarbh]

Indeed it felt vary challenging to compare these three phones, which means they were pretty close (overall). Prices aren't though!

Nice comparison, . but being a photo lover (you can check my unsplash page) i noticed some imperfection on your review. You confused sometime some photography idea's. For example most of the time you don't noticed how bad are skintones (and in general color precision and retention) in iphone, you only started to notice a bit in lowlight and described as blue tint, when it's not tint at all, is just chroma denoise processing that apple is doing that is literally killing color precision to the point that plenty of shades of colors are missing from the final image: xiaomi and samsung have much better color retentions and precision, where they fault a bit is a bit of excessive saturation (and you saw that in flower color rendering of things, caused by this plus a bit of overexposure, iphone sffer less in that because of huge lack in colors rendering and desaturated looks...basically he did so wrong that in the opposite cases like flowers one ends up winning: the best will be an adaptive saturation but oem seems like they are not able to properly create it). Another thing where iphone is much worse than other 2 is overall processing of sharpening, every iphone photo is overprocessed to the point that on big monitors the photo looks like an oil painting, mch more than 12t pro and s22 ultra, plus denoise is worse than other two most of the times (as you described in selfie one at nigh for example). Then hdr talks, apple and samsung use an aggressive hdr, that's why they have more dynamic range in that seaside test you did, but in generale this extreme hdr can only lead to innatural light rendering, that in photography we HATE, for example i prefer to close shadows as much as i can preserving highlights, instead of creating a flat in range image that is useless from a photography standpoint, and that explains why you feel that too the 12t pro photo as the more natural from the 3, is just less cartoony and processed, plus better color science as i said above. Now in terms of photo the things that surprised me are the depht processing much better on xiaomi (even if i hate fake bokeh as a pro amateur entusiasth) compared to apple, i literally not expect this, and ultrawide camera being better than i think too, but this one is easily exaplainable considering that both apple and samsung use bad sensors on ultrawide, basically not better than the one used in 12t pro, except for the 8mpx.

Now, video's department, again, the ones from xiaomi and samsung have plenty more color precision compared to apple ones, eis is much better on xiaomi on daylight, decent on lowlight, where apple have better eis (samsung much worse). In terms of dynamic range is the same things as photos, with apple to the extrmish hdr values, that ends up with innatural looking footage (that uyou described as oversaturated, instead is not saturation problem, is just overhdr), plus usual oversharpen. In terms of audio recording i noticed that actually even with 96kbps xiaomi is clearer (crazy) somehow and less muffled than iphone, and very close to samsung if not better in some footages you sended here: iphone audio is muffled, many times artifacted from wind noise reduction (literally the worst awind noise reduction on the market right now). Basically feels like xiaomi have the best mics processing of frequencies but overall quality is lowered by high compression compared to samsung that to me looks like the best in audio deparment in this video.

So final note from my side, hoping that this comment will be noted from someone instead of being just dead words: to me it looks like xiaomi (the underdog from years) did a hell of a job, not only the phone is literally half priced than other two (HALF), but it is better on processing, main camera sensors, microphones, and crazy enough even on ultrawide (and selfie too sometimes), lacking only the periscope camera of s22u (but iphone lacks that too). The in sensor zoom works well up to 4x (that's why 5x is decent but not awesome, this is upscaling from 4x crop) in photos, less good on video's but considering the price this phone looks like a very solid phone, that excells on main camera photos and videos. If 12t pro price will go down a bit, like 500 euros can be a total flagship killer without any other words, considering how solid is phone in terms of battery, screen, soc, charge, and storage performance.

Really hope that my comments can help someone to better judge without considering prices or logo of just consumer things.

With the price and outcome of the comparison, i will go for 12T

[chunliongtan]

Thanks Sir, I just pull my trigger with 12T Pro. Actually not expected to compare to those flagship but it's seen 12T Pro really standout with such price point

[amitjesur]

This is your first video that came in my recommendation and I really like the content. Liked and subscribed. ☺️💕

[rolins]

The S22 Ultra will never stop impressing me.

Honestly, I'm not for 108 and 200 mpx sensors, but this Xiaomi and the Motorola Ultra are really starting to make me believe that this 200 mpx sensor has potential and that supplemented with Samsung's algorithms it can really give something not bad 🤔.

Ps: although I would have really preferred that Samsung use the Isocel GN sensor used by Xiaomi in its Mi 11 Ultra .

[mohammadzein]

Another great camera comparison from you Chris that puts things into perspective.
Appreciate the hard work that you go through Sir, to provides us with very enjoyable and informative content.
✌✌👍👍

[dujankees]

really impressed with Xiaomi's camera improvements, which i thought started with the mi 10 ultra. If this was a blind test, xiaomi's got a good chance tbh

i think their R&D did pay off. Looking forward to the xiaomi 13 ultra!

[hyrenaj]

Great to see this video go viral, I've been watching you for years and always thought you deserved more views.
