I must admit, I felt quite anxious during the making of this video as it took much longer than anticipated. I didn't want to simply showcase the photo sets with background music like I've done before. However, this approach required significantly more time, and I'm unsure if I'll continue with it. Any suggestions? Definitely sub: www.youtube.com/@SamiLuo and my Twitter: twitter.com/samiluo
I noticed it. This video looks more professional than your older videos. And honestly, it's more appealing. Thank you for the videos.
Definitely much prefer this more in-depth style
Will you make some new test if Xiaomi fix camera with updates?
Iphone noob...
XIAOMI ULTRA 14 VIDEO IS BETTER PERIOD
Vivo won this battle but that doesn't change my love for Xiaomi ❤ I love XIAOMI 🔥🔥
Leica style on xiaomi got so much art!!! It is radically different from the rest
Wow. Xiaomi still haven't fixed the judder in their videos. The stabilization judder at night time on the Xiaomi is so so bad.
They will probably fix that with a future update
@@AlperAltun86 people have been saying that for 10 years
what is stabilization judder at night video?
@@AlperAltun86 10 years excuse 😂
@@TedThomasTT 10 years ago ppl barely knew about Xiaomi lmao 💀
Thanks Sami, the photo section was the better! I have never saw you doing this in your videos, keep that! Fundamentally, the portraits without portait mode with the 1 inch sensors are incredible!
This is the comparison I was waiting for thank you!
What's the sense of making a macro comparison using the main camera which, on Xiaomi 14 Ultra, is the only one that DOESN'T support macro? 75mm and 120mm are floating lens to support macro and you took photos only with the 23mm...
Thank you Sami for this comparison and all the work you put in! I like this style better with more explanation. I like the Xiaomi better because of the less sharpening and less saturation. It's makes me a little sad that it has less dynamic range and the video jitter at night is bad. Vivo is amazing for the price now.
Very good that you included some cropped in comparisons that shows us the actual detail differences! 🥰
Glad you liked it!!
I like this style of review. you're now doing commentary this is better!
this was by far your best camera video 👏👏
This comparison is really helpful! Thank you Sami!
6 years on KZhead but I have never come across a camera comparison review video like yours. Wow bravo 👏🏾🎉😊
Great video Sami, keep up the good work!
In short. Vivo take a nice normal and portrait photo. Xiaomi win in zoom department. But how many time we actually zoom and take photo/video. So I think vivo win in this. And vivo x100 pro is cheaper
Vậy ip đắt nhất , nó là cái điện thoại kém nhất à bạn . 😂
@@chienbui9379 Like he said, it depends on the type of shooter you are. I take zoom photos alot. I'm rarely standing near the thing I want to take photos. Others maybe take portraits alot. Others might do video more. It's nice that there is healthy competition in this space so each mfr keeps improving. Unfortunately the majority of people don't care about photo quality and might care more about blue bubbles. So companies like Apple/Samsung don't bother trying to compete anymore.
What's price got to do with it? It's a camera comparison all in interested in which takes the best photos price is of no concern
You did a really great job comparing these two! Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks a ton!
can't wait to see it in EU ! Very usefull and informative video thanks mate, loved it !
Hi Sami thank you for the comparison. in the camera settings on Xiaomi there should be an option to choose exposure metering preference for face or entire scène. maybe this can make a difference with the overexposure in portraits and regular pictures? Not 1 reviewer showed this in action, I am curious if it makes a difference.
As an old user of 12 SU I can say that it is very much about using full manual mode. It is still ok in auto but other main flagship cameraphones are at least as good and usually more predictable with results. Its pity very few comparisons cover what you can don manually on different phones and they can be VERY different in this section. (Say Pixel effectively has no manual mode out of the box).
I prefer these longer videos over your short videos. Your short videos where you do a quick unboxing are honestly a waste of time to watch as you don't gain much information from them. These longer videos have so much valuable information in them so we definitely appreciate the time you've taken with it.
Thanks a lot for the great comparison but damn, was really looking forward to upgrading my 12S Ultra to the 14 Ultra but the night video is so incredible jittery. Very disappointing. Hope they can fix that with an update. Might wait for the Vivo X100 Ultra.
One of the best reviews I have seen between the two monsters. Great job Sami
Glad you enjoyed it!
Vivo thanks to special processor V3 gonna be always the best in photography
Nice video Sami! Any chance you can do an Oppo Find X7 Ultra vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra? Thanks!
Hi Sami, thank you for this review! Can I ask you - did you hear some weird buzzing sound like there is something broken or detached in the camera of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra? I got the blue chinese version and the seller is trying to convince me this is a normal problem/sound.
Hello, very good comparison. You've got a new follower. Greetings from Extremadura, Spain 🇪🇸.
Awesome, thank you!
Great review this. The stabilisation on the ultra 14 at night doesnt look great but this might get fixed on a future patch as its not released generally yet. It could also be due to compression for upload? Maybe it looks fine on the device or computer? Think for what it can actually offer and deliver on the xiaomi has more potantial, looking at it as a whole.
12SU user speaking: xiaomi ultra is so-so choice for out of pocket shooting. Not bad, but not great eather. But it can do A LOT more in pro mode.
The bias is very strong, when Samsung camera not that good people said just release, when xiaomi 14 ultra release, people expect it to be done without update.
amazing video my friend, photography part a little more "serious", you covered a lot, with very good analysis and explanations, very professional work, you covered a lot on videos too, with your very energic and happy mood, it is an overall extremely in depth, detailed and good video, thank you very much ! PS : do you take photos during night WITHOUT night mod, only point and shoot ? if not, it would be very very good in your next tests that you add this : non night mod part in low light, and night mod part in low light (and even maybe some shots night mod vs non night mod), and while i talk about night mod i even talk about the automatic 1 or 2 second exposure vs fast point and shoot without those longer exposures keep up the good work my friend i love your videos regarding the cameras, xiaomi is sooooo jittery during video recording, this is really a deal breaker for me, and even more at night it is unusable would be nice if you could test again the honor magic 6 pro against some big phones like the s24 ultra that has got a big update and maybe the oppo x7 ultra (obviously if this is something you want to do)
Bro, you are super fun to watch. I really love your reviews!
Glad you like them!
Nice review. I prefer this style of review to the previous one. Keep up the good work, Sami. 🎉
Sami I love you man!! Awesome vibes and content. Even though I am a Xiaomi fan, I am so surprised with Vivo, the portait shots and the night stabilization, are maybe the best in the industry as of right night. It's like sorcery. Well done Vivo, you caught my attention 👏
Totally agree
Nice comparison. The only thing which is missing for me is comparison of Pro mode as nobody yet on KZhead has touched this subject. I'm wondering if either of this phone can shoot full 50MP RAW files or only 12MP binding? Would really appreciate if you can let me know.
And it is especially an issue when talking about Xioami's Ultra series as it is very much focused on using pro mode (using 12SU since it just released). If you need to just take the phone out of the pocket, point and shoot - Pixel, Vivo, or Huawei are nobrainer choice, imho. Manual mode - is where Ultra shines.
I feel like the engineers that used to work for Huawei's camera department now work for Vivo. Fine showing from the Vivo there.
True 😂😂, Vivo and Huawei.. still the boss at camera
huawei is massive they arent going to let people go to a rival. This isnt an oppo situation
After seeing a lot of comparisons, I can easily say that Vivo X100 Pro has set a milestone for all the upcoming premium smartphones in terms of camera. It's literally the phone camera to beat in 2024.
Indeed, can't wait for x100 pro+ ❤️🔥
should I wait for it? do you know if it'll be globally available?@@markus4979
lol it takes pictures - not photos! Funny how easy to buy people who doesn't know anything about photo! Vivo pictures 60% of photo and sometimes the result has nothing in common with the reality.
@@chanceobrien5560 LOL. Your reply does not make any sense here. We as humans are liking and enjoying pictures taken from Vivo X100 Pro. They are more pleasing to our eyes than the ones taken from any DSLR/Camera in auto mode.
@@iazamkhan it means that you have zero brains, keep enjoying pictures instead of photos, lol
Excellent work, amzing!!!!🤩😍🥰Which one do you prefer?which one is your favorite?
Hello Sami, thanks for the camera reviews. I like the features on the Vivo but, I still prefer the Xiaomi mainly for the periscope lens with lossless HD image quality. On till this day no other phone has the same periscope image quality since they started with the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, the 12S Ultra, and now the 14 Ultra the periscopelens is a powerful tool and very useful, digital zoom is useless.
vivo remains unbeatable, man what a phone im a professional shooter who uses pro cameras and vivo has amazed me so much i just dont like vivos software xiaomis much better but oh man what a camera beast im gonna buy it anyways as a pocket camera
What do you not like about vivos software? I've had my X100 Pro (global version) for almost a week now and the experience has been fantastic. I'm also used to shooting with cameras (A7 IV) and the photos out of this phone are so impressive.
Where did you get the global version from?
@@lucifer1001 I got it from wondamobile
@@lucifer1001 wondamobile
I like the fact that the watermarks are enabled. Be checking the aperture lens on both phones, it's good that Xiaomi's can be adjusted if you can adjust as same as Vivo's it will be better, my opinion 3:53 you see the apeture lens were the same f/2.5 on Xiaomi n f/2.5 on Vivo but Xiaomi looks better Xiaomi really needs to optimise their apeture lens in certain photos esp the portrait mode to reduce the over exposure
Thanks for the comparison. Does the Xiaomi 14 Ultra have a pre-installed screenprotector?
Yes
When Oppo find x7 Ultra vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra?
VIVO 😍 I don't like natural colors VIVO is cheaper but still its better in my perspective
ivideyum 😮
@@najiya958 Yup, technically I searching for X100 Pro's reviews. Its a amazing device Planning to buy it Normally I watch English reviews, so
@@najiya958 Yup, do I know u from any other comment section ? normally I watching English reviews & really interested in X100 series, so
Vivo 👍
We see your hard working and day by day you much improvement in video editing then yesterday❤❤❤
9:54 why light is shaking on Xiaomi 14 Ultra? what does it called when light shake in night time videos?
I like the softness and low contrast on 14 ultra, idk maybe I'm bias bc I love analog look.
Vivo, Xiaomi and Oppo realy did it this year... there is no bad thing on any of them... just minor differences. And your videos... that's impressive work. Thank you. 😁
thanks for tuning in :D
Oppo Vivo Realme are from the same company. better buy a xiaomi
Vivo is still the best camera for its price! Good comparison
Not just it's price, overall in the market right now.. waiting for Huawei P70 pro and x100 pro+
@@godwinalekeobor5274 You can wait as long as you like, x100 pro+ will come out no one knows when and no one knows how much it will cost. I'm talking about the fact that right now x100pro has the best camera phone for the money
I will probably get vivo x100 plus depending on if its better then the Huawei P70 ART when it is released
In Xiaomi, we can press and drag shutter button to take burst photos. also, the Fastshot option is very useful for high motion images.
What impresses me the most about Vivo is how damn good they are at in sensor digital zoom. The 2x zoom looks as good or better than any 2x telephoto on any smartphone.
So, how is Vivo regarding the sound quality? It is said that the video sound is bad, what is your opinion?
Xiaomi has some tuning to do ... And it was what I feared when seeing the press shots. Hopefully some of the camera issues are addressed because it is clear there's problems compared to the vivo series or oppo find x7 ultra. In some respects it's very baffling.
If you use your smartphone with point and shoot (like 80% of people) then choose Vivo and it takes better photos. If you use RAW files for professional work, buy Xaomi. Generally speaking, these are the two top cameraphones to beat.
Some of the zoom photos comparison are not like for like. Some of the vivo photos which look blurry are shot at half the shutter speed of the xiaomi. Which can drastically effect the photos at longer focal lengths.
Do either of these smartphones support HEIF format?
Hum. I went from Huawei P30 Pro to Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra. There's quite a few occassions where I would prefer the good ol' P30 Pro. I've always been interested in the Vivo Pro + models. Let's hope they do a X100 Pro Plus that annihilates everything in its path... maybe that's the phone I need.
P30 pro was amazing, gave mine to my dad and got a Vivo x90 pro plus, now giving that to my son and pre ordered the Xiaomi 14 ultra
I find myself liking most of the photos and videos from Vivo, so for me, Vivo X100 Pro > Xiaomi 14 Ultra And Vivo X100 Pro+ / Vivo X100 Ultra hasn't even arrived yet 💀
you should compare the ultra vs ultra version, not pro vs ultra, here there are lots of funny debates 😂
What about a challenge for a fast capture between xiaomi 14 ultra and samsung galaxy s24 ultra? Many thanks!
whats better xiaomi 14 ultra, vivo x100 pro or galaxy s 24 ultra?
Please do a comparison video between Vivo X 100 vs Xiaomi 14
Vivo still king❤🎉
عمل رائع ياخي وجهد مشكور عليه ❤
we need to see xiaomi after 6 months having the xiaomi 10 ultra limited edition and no w moving to the 14 . I know for a fact that xiaomi will need maybe up to 6-8 months to optimize the post processing
For each of the pics you took, you really need to zoom in to see the details to compare. I did a x100 Pro vs Find X7 Ultra comparison. When I zoomed into each pic, you really noticed the lack of details from the X100 Pro.
Find x7 ultra is better, than x100 pro?
@@user-iv9od3pz8v most situation x100 pro destroy x7 ultra.
@@user-iv9od3pz8v yes, especially in portraits. Images from the X100 Pro, are flat without details.
so buy Oppo and be happy to zoom every single photo :DDDD
@@GrDmitriyL You know what? I really did it. My oppo is on the way from china xD
Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Oppo find x7 ultra vs Vivo x100 pro
should be done after the X14U camera optimization, maybe by June 2024?
Both have telephoto macro?
Sorry but Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a big disappointment for its price. Not that much better than Vivo.
No
@@wouter.d.h.It's OK but not much hardware improvement over 13 ultra and they've increased sharpening a lot compared to the 13 ultra. At least they've improved portraits though. They were poor on the 13 ultra
Yes, according to the price it should be better But I like VIVO's pics more, not a fan of natural colors X100 PRO is still a champ
EXCELENT, FLAWLESS VICTORY☠️
considering Vivo is like 400$ cheaper and in most cases it got more detailed and pleasant photos it's a winner
Who does better? Portraits and zoom Photos?
Xiaomi seems to "blow up" the highlights with certain signs/objects. Like 5:15 and 8:15 for example. Other than that you can't really go wrong with either phone.
Nice comparison
please do a comparison 14/14pro and 14 ultra
I pre-ordered an Ultra. It will arive on my birthday.
OMG! That Vivo X100 Pro is lit 🔥
Front 4k saporting or no
Many thanks for another excellent video 👍
Zeiss coating is the winner. Very important feature that makes difference in DSLR/mirrorless lens is the coating!!! Always buy phone with Carl Zeiss camera colaboration. Remember Lumia 1020?
Which have better ultrawide?I make half of photos in ultrawide
9:23 I don't like Xiaomi's stabilization at night... there are those strange micro vibrations that create those bounces if you look especially at the lights while you move... instead Vivo is nice and stable even on the lights.
i have vivo x100 pro and i am looking to buy another device. which recommended ?? Oppo find x7 ultra or Xiaomi 14 ultra. I really like oppo, but the color os software is not good.
What's the vivo x100 pro light in sunlight. My Vivo x80 pro crashes when trying to do videos or images outside in sunlight or warm weather. Im reluctant to buy another vivo because of it.
@@kirstyhutson1117 Vivo has great cameras. Everything works fine. But the funtouch os is the worst of any os.
Thank you sir
Good review
I hope the movie mode becomes 4k30 in the future.
Great job. Love from india.
Dirty curry
vivo top notch stability at day and night ❤❤❤❤ camera quality ❤❤❤❤ i thnking whether s24 ultra or vivo x100 pro for secondary mobile now i decided so i may go to vivo x 100 pro for my secondary mobile
i hope next will be oppo vs xiaomi thanks for the comparisons,👏👏
On the way
Vivo wins. Period. At 9:02 the difference in the stabilization test at night was just massive.
But it's the opposite when it comes to sound
That 4K 60 running is something
Hi Sami ....Xiaomi 14 ultra vs Honor magic 6pro...which one will you prefer..my focus is longevity of Software updates..Battery life..and Camera....thank you
Is Vivo software Funtouch or Origin !
I think Vivo is more consistent and also provide natural colors. Over sharpening on Xiaomi is just nasty.
U mean oversharpening on Vivo!
😂 => 3:20 poor sheep 🤡🐑 meeeh! Meeeeh! Vivo its crazy fuc kin good, but xiaomi its another level of exposure, details, natural colors. Sure x100 pro easy destroy 15 pro max, oneplus 12, s23/s24u, x7 ultra, and other, but actually king photo is xiaomi. Waiting for may 100x pro plus on the vivo. Maybe vivo still king next a few month. Im sad with my s23u. 😢 i selling and probably buy 14 ultra, or x100pro. No mettwr for my whos better, because the key is 1" sensor its another lvl of quality photo most situation at night. Les noises etc. Sorry for my english
Xiaomi 14u literally look more natural while vivo x100 pro looks saturated and oversharp
@@furieux6742 you just pointed out digital vs optical zoom💀 ofcourse its gonna be sharper💀
@@furieux6742 Its a personal preference bro, I don't like natural colors. So X100 Pro 😍
I believe that after few years Xiaomi will be the best technological and reliable brand in the world🎉
I'm starting to think that maybe the new Sony Lyt 900 isn't as good as the 989.
The Vivo has been tuned well after software updates. I remember when it first came out, it had a few of the issues that Xiaomi has with juddery video, poorer front camera video, and some other issues. The Vivo's ultrawide is not very wide, like older Huawei phones. The 14 Ultra can definitely be improved with software updates. Both are great phones though. I'm still debating between the two as I really don't like the Vivo's older design and it's OS layer but the Xiaomi is about $300 more expensive as it is brand new.
@SamiLuo :: Which one you like most out of this two?? Overall experience
man in 15:35 you say xioamy has moredetais is because you cant see in a wide screen or what because in the video is the other way arround
M confused overall xiomi 14ultra vs vivo x100 pro which one is better
Xiaomi has a camera cover as an accessory , so it is a big plus .
Can i have one of your phone, i want to make a film or cinematic videos my current ohone rn is mi 10 lite
What camera does this Vivo have maybe this is the best camera in smartphones right now I watched a few reviews just unique vivo
xiaomi 14 ultra camera system is so good but pity the software is just not as polished as vivo in term of the processing of both video and stills
