Hi everyone, I'm just a regular guy that likes to make videos. I like to review tech and show the camera capabilities on the newest mobile phones.

Great phone and amazing pictures. I just have got mine in yellow color - it looks stunning!
Leica Authentic color profile looks exactly like Leica Q2 camera colors

My thoughts:
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is one the best camera smartphone this year. Well, the rear cameras have one of the most versatile camera set-up because of it has 2 telephoto cams and a variable aperture on the main cam. Also I would like to mention that, Xiaomi will improve the software experience, hopefully.
The selfie cam thought is kinda a letdown, especially for a flagship camera phone.
Hope that will change for the Xiaomi 14 Series next year.

Now this is a good camera review. Might take a while to adjust the settings but I think people should learn their apps more just to be more creative with their shots and not just always point and shoot. Considering more phones are adding fun camera tricks and modes, like Sony Xperia 1 V's Creative Looks, iPhone's picture profiles, Vivo's Leica look and Oppo's Haselblad style, learning to play with these should be a plus, especially since these are feature rich flagships. My friend always takes his time to choose his settings and picture profiles before taking his shots on his iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Smartphone photo experience might be mostly point and shoot now but these modes definitely makes them more fun again. Definitely recommend to play with your settings before taking your shots.

I would love to see a review of the camera grip accessory as well which I think is perfect for cinematography using an ND filter. Xiaomi really thought through the process well. Hopefully they'll bring back the quick aperture toggle in a future update.

Aside from the common complaints of them getting rid of the quick swap aperture and UI at the top disappearing when turned off, my main complaint would be lack of options in 50MP mode, I really wish there was a way to change aperture, modes and add HDR in 50MP, I imagine this is more of a software than a hardware problem seeing as a lot of flagships do this yet a GCAM version 'fixes' these and tends to work. Also the HDR mode being off or auto is quite sucky

Many thanks for your review. Dxomark mentiones a delay after pressing shutter to capture the foto. Did you notice this in the quality of fotos? What do you think about honor 5 magic pro in comparison to xiaomi?

[gbdr_ps_fan]

Thank you for those additional thoughts. Definitely helpful.

Love your video content and subscribed! Love the fact that the 13 Ultra includes a 75mm f1.8 lens which is the perfect focal length and large aperture for portrait with nice bokeh in the back without the use of the artificial portrait mode. Wish you have covered more on this area since most of the time, we are taking photos of human instead of just sceneries.. Could you share more on this area? Btw, looking forward to the announcement of the 14 Pro next week!

Pleasant format with your feelings at the T time. The glass that covers the 4 cameras can be used as a mirror for selfies and 4k selfies videos but it is clear, this 4k front is terribly lacking in order to no longer support criticism, however justified at these price levels. I hope 202"4" will bring this "4"k front for their future ultra. And yes to finish Xiaomi must optimize its camera interface for better ergonomics (focal aperture, HDR, portraits) as you said.

Hey 👋 thanks for sharing your thoughts!
What do you prefer between Xiaomi 13 ultra and Vivo x90pro plus?

[ariesaries]

I love the way you present this video. I feel like listening to my friend who shared his experiences and concluded it with his own thoughts. That's insightful. Thanks!

[jkpisces]

how about generally as a business user experience for the xiaomi 13U? is it full of bugs and have issues with day to day operation?

[Draconis]

Thanks for your thoughts! Yes, more of this style please.

But is there a way disable that two main Leica profiles completely to shoot at Normal'ish in default shooting mode ? Why do i have too choose between the two of equally inconvenient pre-assigned profiles ? 😳

[Sambo]

i have that phone first, "steady video" settiong is not available in 4k only 1080p. At low light for photos, the camera will use 1/25 min shutter and when i set it to 1/5 in pro mode the photos came out sharp at lower iso. so indoor food for example better not to use auto mode.

Overall my sony ZVE10 camera kill this phone for both videos and photos

[mohamedwasfy]

I need your opinion which one is better to buy Xiaomi 13 ultra or vivo x90 pro plus ?

[isaquesperandio]

Daniel I really liked your explanation I think I understood everything correctly congratulations
I believe that the ideal would be an authentic mode with HDR as good as the vibrant mode

[phungmoe]

Another annoying is - when u use motion detect .. u can't run 8K
I loved this camera but from Oppo back to Xiaomi.... I realized the MUI not improve much at all.

[georgeti]

They should bring back those quick shortcut buttons, but I do like that they added focal lengths to the camera app. 2X, 3X tells me nothing. I would also like for them to add focusing speed adjustment. Sometimes it's better to have a slower, smoother focus shift

[illchangelateridk]

The colors and dynamic range are so much worse in the cinematic mode, what's up with that?
