I love this series man. You find gorgeous locations to photograph and your edits come out so beautifully. Now we need to find you a friend, a family member or a volunteer for those portrait shots.😝 Keep it up and this is seriously looking like a better buy than the 14 Ultra.🤔 Something special about that floating lens.
Thank you man!!!! And i love doing it!!! And haha female friend be nice 🤣🤣🤣 (i like photography of woman better, or old man that have a story because you can tell it in their eyes
I've got the 14 pro that has the variable aperture and it is even more impressive. Pretty sure that the 14 series will be the android phone of the year
I'm debating if I should trade my S24 Ultra for the Xiaomi 14 which right now comes bundled with a free Xiaomi Pad 6. My preferred zoom range is 2.8x - 3.5x and Samsung's 3x camera is pretty disappointing. I'd give up the 5x lens, some software features, but I feel like I'd enjoy taking pictures with the Xiaomi phone more. I also really like the Leica image processing 🤔
@@_Funonwheels Photography wise 100% the Xiaomi will do a much better job with true to life experience. That is based on using the s24 Ultra and not the regular s24, but I doubt they would switch up the whole thing. And thank you :)
Most flagship phones can do good stills and videos. The differentiator for me is can the camera also capture pictures of moving subjects(e.g. kids) mostly blurry free.
I use Xiaomi 14 Pro and I do mobile photography, so open the camera, touch the sign on the top tab, pull down and activate motion tracking focus, the results are seriously successful.😊
Waiting for someone to compare xiaomi 14 to s23 ultra, yes to ultra because it is too big and not have great camera. Xiaomi 14 looks like a great option! Great video!
Hi Jermaine! I watched few times your review (and others). But yours probably was the one who made me buy the Xiaomi14 and I must say it exceeded my expectations. As a photographer in my spare free time, I must say that the camera array on this phone is really really good, way above S24 or other phones maybe more expensive. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Thank you VERY much, I truly appriciate the kind words! And of course I am very glad you are pleased with the results!!! And it is really good! Even more so for the size of the phone itself! And yeah if you love photography... don't go the road of Samsung... ugh, they need help...
Yes@@ThroughJermainesLens, I really began to "hate" those massive bricks of phones that are popular these days. This one is a powerhouse in every aspect and a breeze of fresh air in terms of form factor...really like it a lot! Cheers!
Great video as always! Ultra wide isn't usually a priority on most phones unfortunately and this one looks pretty good I'd rather have a telephoto over an ultrwide tho And maybe that thumbnail needed a pic for the phone to pop more 😅
yeah I thumbnail is hard hahahahaha And yeah true, I focus least on that, but in some cases the ultra wide does have a nice space! Like in that train station ^^
Hi Jermaine, I've been subscribed to your channel for a few months here in the UK and am really enjoying your in depth photography reviews. I love the fact that you travel to different locations to test out the phones and not just walk down your local street or park like the other reviewers do, it really makes a difference 😀 I was really impressed by the photos from your Xiaomi 14 review and I'm going to pre-order the Xiaomi 14 ultra soon, but I'm going to wait until there's a few reviews to study 😀 I'm hoping that your Xiaomi 14 ultra arrives soon as the Xiaomi pre-order offers end on the 31st of March 🤞 Keep up the good work 👍
First of thank you for the long sub!!! I truly appriciate that and it allows me to grow and hopefully have more oppertunities in the future!!! And yes! You have to travel, that is such a big part of photography for me, exploring and capturing moments you don't exspect! Locations you discover, angles and more! If I shoot my own city the whole time it feels like a repeat, so doing this is the joy! And nice!!! Getting that 14 Ultra! I am getting it hopefully soon, but unsure if I will finish it before that date? I am planning a cinematic video intro, currently working on drawing it all out for that next level experience ^^ And I think if you order before hand you can still return it? Though I doubt that you will ^^ Xiaomi has impressed me a lot with their photography!
@@ThroughJermainesLens I totally agree with you about travelling Jermaine, if you're photographing the same stuff around you all the time it just gets boring. I love to travel, especially in Europe, I've been to the Nederland's, Belgium, France, Austria, Switzerland and Germany and I've taken some great photos with the different phones I've had. But never with a Xiaomi device, this will be my first one 😀 I'm going back to Germany this year and I'm hoping to take some great photos with it 👍 Currently I have the Oppo Find X5 Pro which still takes some great pictures.
oohhh nice!!!! Well in that case, got any locations that you say, you MUST visit that!? :D And I heard greta things about the Finx X5 pro ^^ @@andyttv1264
@@ThroughJermainesLensYes I'm going to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria and I'm hoping to take a trip up Zugspitze, at 2962 meters it's Germany's highest mountain and it should give me some fantastic photo opportunities 🤞 I'm also hoping to go to Lake Eibsee in Grainau, close to where I'm staying which is supposed to be quite beautiful and I'm also planning to visit various local towns and villages and I'm going for 11 days, so I should have plenty of time to capture some great pictures with the Xiaomi 14 ultra 😀 I think I might take my Oppo Find X5 Pro with me as well and compare the photos from both devices 👍
Thank you!!!! And glad it helped out! And thanks for the compliement! Still good some things to learn, but loving the process of doing so! And the challenges phones gives you!
I have preorder the Xiaomi 14 Ultra here in Europe. There is no shop in here in Austria so I bought it from Alza for 1499€. Sadly without any preorder benefits Hope it`s gonna be a great successor to my Xiaomi 12 Pro :)
Wait, you cannot get it via mi.com?.there it sells with benefits for most countries i think, though some get crazy deals :O and Aistria, need to go there someday!
Nice video, not the first one I see and like from you then...subscribed :) I ordered the 14 Ultra but still I like the form factor of this 14. It is good to know that this one has great camera performances.
Sorry missed your comment^^ and glad you are liking the content! I truly appreciate it, and of course i want people to enjoy it 😁😁😁 and Thanks for the sub!! And yes agreed for the form it has a great camera setup! Also ordered the 14 ultra, but had to do a trade in with the 13 pro, i phone i seriously have loved!
not a photographer but really happy with my purchase. i use the 3.2 zoom lens to shoot maco shots outdoors and the background naturally blurs and it gives the pictures this really "pro" feeling vibe. i get tons of compliments on my social media and i don't even know what the heck i am doing. quite shocking, my last phone only had budget to midrange camera quality and was several years old, so i was shocked how good the pictures are.
Im between the Xiaomi 14 or the iPhone 15 Pro, both seem to have great cameras but I’m afraid Xiaomi will downfall in social media posts like Instagram which is my main usage
How does this compare to the 14 Ultra? Will you make a video about this? I'm torn between the two, and I think watching your unbiased videos help camera phone enthusiasts like me decide which phone to buy. Thank you!
Great video with superb photos 👍I have the feeling that both Xiaomi 14 and 14 Ultra beats Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in photography, maybe even OnePlus 12 which I bought on launch day here in 🇫🇮 EU. OnePlus 12 can take some amazing photos but not in all conditions. Is Xiaomi/Leica in your opinion better than the OnePlus/Hasselblad collaboration?
Thank you very much! And yeah it will beat Samsung, samsung lacks character, a proper natural look, and of course noise problems sadly, the oneplus is hard for me to judge because I haven't used it sadly!
It's nice to hear something about Xiaomi's phone from a photographer's perspective. Very nice video. Is the regular Xiaomi 14 worth buying if I own a 13T Pro and cannot afford the 14 Ultra? Or should I consider another option?
That is never an easy one, several things, 14 is better in shutterspeed, and has more character and is more natural, the xiaomi had better ranges from ultra wide to periscope, as well as higher video recording, and of course the rear display. As well as a different style that can be liked better then what you get on the 14
Hey mate, thanks for the review! 1 question, though, were the photos edited in Lightroom on pc? Or mobile app? If by app, do you have the presets, or were manual adjusted? Thank you! 😊
But Jermaine, I was just in the Xiaomi livestream and people said that Xiaomi phones can't take good photos and videos. Did they send us fake units? In all seriousness though, great video.
Xiaomi 14 at 650€ vs 14 Ultra at 1200€ (with photography kit). Is the 14 Ultra worth that double price? I mainly care about camera and especially the 3.2x
Honestly I think when it comes to the 3.2x zoom, right now, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is the best, it doesn't oversharpen, and I feel like it is a bit nicer in it. And is it worth twice the price, simply put if you mostly care about that... no... unless you of course want the photography kit!
Wonderful Photos Indeed. I am very willing to get it but it holds its price here in the UK At Launch it was £900 and now is £800/850 which is an amount I am not very willing to spend. The 13T on the other hand is just £350 at the moment so wanted to ask how do the two Devices compare in the Camera Department?
SO honestly the 14 will do better in segments like zoom, macro and ultra wide performance, but is it worth double the amount? I don't think so.... and I honestly would be looking at the Xiaomi 13 Pro, that one will do better for you at possibly a lower price then the 14. And I prefer the 13 pro over the 14. did a comparison between those 2.
mmm While I would do it for myself, it isn't going to be a mental update, it will do better for sure, but not crazy, if you however can find an amazing deal, it could be worth it! ^^ for like 100 euro/dollar, I would say yes
Loved the review, as usual! You truly have a talent for photography. How do you think this phone will hold up against the Mi 11 Ultra in terms of camera performance? Are you planning to make a comparison video?
Mmmm mi11 ultra, now that is an interesting take, problem is the mi11 ultra was aimed to be a very different phone, it is more ultra where this is the low high end if that makes sense? 🤣
@@ThroughJermainesLens Makes sense! I still think the Mi 11 Ultra holds up pretty well against today's flagships in terms of camera performance and just amazes me. If not the Mi 11 Ultra, can we expect any other comparisons such as the Xiaomi 13 Pro?
yes the mi11 ultra still holds up well :) I try to always use it for my POV photography shots. And the 14 will be compared to the 13 pro yes :) @@Snakelandlevel11
Great work as always Jermaine… kudos! Would you recommend a switch from the xiaomi 13 pro to the xiaomi 14? Since the 14 pro and ultra aren’t launching in my country… and I really like the smaller form footprint and the flat display… but at the same time I don’t want the camera experience to be lacking or a downgrade by any means since I do love the one inch sensor on the 13 pro… what do you suggest?
I would stick with the 13 Pro realistically if you already have it:) but if you do like that smaller form factor, then yes this would be a good upgrade for you, and it still has great sensors:)
Hi Jermaine! Dario hier, uit Brabant. Ik ben fan van je video's en kijk ze altijd graag. Ik heb echter je advies hard nodig. Ik heb nu een S23 Ultra en ben er in het algemeen heel tevreden over. De telefoon is echter veel te groot voor me. Ik zit te kijken naar de Xiaomi 14 en vindt het wel een aardig toestel, alleen maak ik me zorgen om de camera prestatie tegenover de S23 Ultra. Nu weet ik dat je laatst best kritisch was over de S24 Ultra, maar hoe zou je de S23 Ultra vergelijken met de Xiaomi 14?
leuk om een nederlander te zien of course! en dankje! voor je teleofon, vind je het resultaat op je Samsung mooi? als ik meer vel qua kleuren enz? Want Xiaomi heeft in basis wel een andere aanpak, echt meer de fotografie approach. en dan de volgende vraag, gebruik je de x10 of x3 veel? en is fotografie erg belangrijk voor je?
@@ThroughJermainesLensIk moet zeggen dat ik qua camera niet een geavanceerd gebruiker ben. Ik ben het type wat de camera app opent, een foto schiet en eigenlijk dan meteen het beste resultaat hoopt te krijgen door 2 a 3 foto's te nemen. Zoomen doe ik redelijk veel maar 5x is echt het maximale. Ik heb in het verleden een Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro gehad, die in het water is gevallen. Ik was heel tevreden over de camera, echter was video een nachtmerrie. De Samsung doet tot nu toe alles perfect, heb altijd goede foto's kunnen schieten en heeft me tot nu toe niet in de steek gelaten. Ik moest in het begin wel een beetje spelen met het contrast, maar dat zit nu weer goed.
@@mrbanlieu6429 mmmmmm dan zou ik eventueel houden wat je nu hebt of kijken naar de kleinere s24? Dan heb je wat je gewend bent met de resultaten zoals je gewend bent. Alleen kan ik niet zeggen hoe die het doen tegenover de s24 ultra, die soms wel echt tegen kan vallen qua grote hoek foto's
@@ThroughJermainesLens Hahahaha ja dat wel. Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik sinds het begin van de introductie van Ultra wide op een smartphone er nooit fan van ben geweest. Het resultaat valt altijd tegen vergeleken met de primaire lens. Het contrast van de kleuren is vaak minder en de foto heeft te veel noise. Dat is tenminste wat ik ervaar.
Arrivato 14 ultra due giorni fa la main camera mi si è appannata già due volte, il problema sembra interessare solo la main camera e la 2x, successo di sera temperatura esterna sui 14 gradi, in compenso c'è da dire che fa foto e video che né s24 ultra né iPhone 14 max pro riescono a fare, è proprio un altra categoria.. se ogni tanto si appanna qualche minuto amen
im not sure if i should get the next gen xiaomi or samsung software and design just make me want to get samsung but xiaomi’s camera just keeps pulling me
@@ThroughJermainesLens I probably won't get a vivo because I don't really like the software but I want a good camera, good support and I want to be able to get some work done on mobile (3d modelling, editing etc.) and I haven't gotten a PC yet
Yes, but it is done via that zoom wheel, there is a bit of an example of me switching in this video:) zoom unsure though, doesn't look like it, but ultra wide for sure
@@SocialPerspective101 max video recording os 4k 30fps :) yes i am unsure why also, maybe because it creates more heat and because of it being smaller? But
@@ThroughJermainesLens Quite weird considering this is a sd gen 3 phone! Another thing is except pixel 7, 8 pros & s24 ultra, no other Android seems to be able to do 4K60 lens switching...something that iPhone 15 pro max can do
Well, you could always go to a certain street in Amsterdam with some coloured lights that ends in a Church and pay for a "model" for the Portrait Mode... I'm just not sure how RU-vid would react to it... 😂 I'll also pretend you didn't call an enormous 6.4" display "compact"... 😅
Honestly a lot of shots are different and you mess around with the settings, it isn't really 1 fits all xD if that makes sense? But I can send one, what is your email?
@@ThroughJermainesLensmag ik vragen waar je de Xiaomi 14 ultra besteld hebt. Ik ben nog aan het rondkijken aangezien ze in verschillende landen andere cadeaus erbij doen.
