Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Ultra Which Ultra Camera Reigns Supreme? 

If vivo would look less processed would have been great phone for me. Prefer personally as a photographer the Xiaomi better.

I look at the xiaomi 14 ultra settings for excessive sharpness in portrait mode and I turned off the option called "portrait HD", now it's nice and soft. Btw two beast of photography!

I'm excited what would the successor of vivo and xiaomi camera quality looks like 2025. In 2050 it will be a black magic cinematic rig camera with phone features😂

I think these two are the best camera smartphone of 2024.

It's tough between these two, sometimes I prefer the Vivo, sometimes the XIaomi. I definitely don't regret my purchase of the 14 Ultra; I do like it more design wise (no curved screen, the vegan leather back)

I did have Nikon D500 and I have been a professional portrait photographer and Vivo X100 Ultra blows me away with its black and white pictures, a mixture of light color pictures and portrait pictures. You can always put less AI and sharpening, if people look too beautiful or you want less sharp pictures : ) I think they both are like super sports cars, you have to know how to use them and when you find the relation and feel for them, they are going to give you a lot.

I don't think there is any mobile camera that can take down Vivo X100 Ultra on Night photography yet.

i still believe Xiaomi is better for a genuine authentic photography,, Vivo should tune down the post processing they do, the pics looks like auto enhanced and sharpened to my eyes

felicissimo di aver puntato sul vivo. xiaomi non mi sembra migliore, nemmeno sull'ultra grandangolare

I wish I lived in Europe or China. So many great locales to film.

I stopped buying leica phone after they team up with xiaomi. That xiaomi os system is nightmare

Also on the 14 ultra the periscope camera has an improved focus distance compared to the 13 ultra in particular. you can actually get close to a subject with it and get macro shots whereas that wasn't the case on 13 ultra. For me when i was debating between getting these two phones what really made me edge towards the xiaomi was the vivos processing can be too much as times. Either way i think both of these phones are the top 2.

To b an owner of either of these two phones,, camera which captures more realistic skin tones and details is prefered... most of photos taken by phone camera owners are human subjects not the artifficially created objects or nature. This important part is missing in this camera comparision. I hope U can come out with another video esp for comparing the human subject. Else very good camera comparision.

I love how you described it, with the autumn and summer

12:46 I felt here based on your other camera you were recording with. Vivo captured the accurate hue and then boosted saturation. But Xiaomi captured wrong hue. Saturation or exposure or contrast can be easily toned down in post, you needn't have to be at the spot. But for hue you need to physically be there to watch and match the hue. Its pretty painful how often my Xiaomi gets the hue wrong

Easily the best comparison between arguably the best two phones for photography on the market. Too bad neither is officially available in the US but my next phone will definitely be ftom one of these brands.

Had my Xaiomi 14 ultra for about 4 months now. No problems, no fogging, no overheating, phone works perfectly and takes awesome photos. I fully recommend this phone

I feel that the Vivo is very colorful, very bright, for quick and action-packed shots, it is a sensational camera, no doubt, but to my taste, Xiaomi takes calmer photos, so to speak, a calmer tone, in my opinion more professional, Vivo is very into lakes, beaches, forests etc, and Xiaomi is more into urban shooting, museums, sculpture, rain environment and books, I don't know if I explained myself well But each one depends on your way of being, how you see things and how you want to convey them to others, there simply is no best cell phone, there is the best one "for you" 😄

I think the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra might actually be able to beat some of the best newest phones with it's cameras if using the Gcam apk on the 11 Ultra 😎

Very interesting comparison! When it comes to the top camera phones in the market, I cannot think of much else besides Xiaomi14U and VivoX100U (the FX7U too to some extent). I've watched a ton of comparison videos and have kept splitting hairs on which is overall better in camera experience. In this particular video, I felt like the Vivo shots mostly looked better. The Xiaomi shots looked a little desaturated, as through there was a slight fog in all the images (needing some 'dehaze'). The Vivo photos in this comparison looked more punchy and ready to post, but were also a bit more burnt at times. Ofc there are so many more aspects to consider for a phone - The O.S., features, and most importantly global availability and pricing in your region. In India, getting Vivo X100U is practically ruled out, not sold anywhere. So Xiaomi 14U is the only option. Xiaomi here also gives around 5% off during their initial sales. It'll be nice if high-end phones had like a DSLR mode, that basically gave you the most neutral DSLR look possible with those sensors. Vivo stock has this really good feature of sharpening control in the stock mode, hope Xiaomi includes this in their 15Ultra. Vivo also has better Zeiss T* coatings for controlling all sorts of highlights, has better auto focus I believe?, better stabilization etc. In some of your earlier comparisons I felt Xiaomi did a better job with the mood/feel/colors etc. But in this one, the Xiaomi did not look that good - very few shots like [the ceiling of the cathedral with the chandelier] where Xiaomi colours looked nicer. I've always wanted a DSLR in my pocket kind of phone. Each of these phones, Xiaomi or Vivo, applies their processing style and preference, and the only way to get a neutral DSLR like look with very little sharpening is by editing the RAW files yourself. They could provide denoise and sharpening options in the stock mode, but colors/HDR is a very difficult subjective area, and that is what seems to control the mood feel of the shot. Having 'styles' is one step in that direction, but the color enhancement needs more subtle control options. Sorry for the longer message. Just typed out my thoughts as they came.

Super comparativa, a mi modo de ver, Vivo es unos puntos mejor, Xiaomi también es super, creo que le supera en el enfoque cercano, el vivo necesita estar un poquito más optimizado, por lo demás me voy por Vivo!! Saludos desde Guatemala!!!

As an Xiaomi User I would choose Xiaomi 14 Ultra not because of usage but Camera Style especially the Leica's colour Science which has that cinematic looks to it. Vivo this year has made major changes with their cameras which are Great especially ZEISS colour science. The colors, quality, depth, Great Dynamic ranges, shadows, highlights, HDR,etc. I think you can't go wrong with both of the Ultra's. It comes down to the preference in which both doesn't disappoints. Loved your Videos which actually has the technical understanding. Great Content❤.

Xiaomi 14 ultra best camera❤❤❤❤❤

Vivo always seems to be brightening everything up. Shadows and darkeness as important as light, it's' about what you see and what you dont see!

I find it a bit weird that you judge the Vivo based on how accurately it portrays the colors compared to the Xiaomi, yet you do not use the realistic "ZEISS Natural" mode. That mode is well calibrated is very lifelike. Goede review verder wel. Kan niet wachten op de X200 Pro, die ga ik meteen halen om mijn Z Flip 6 te vervangen haha

Ive had both a few months now. Using both, Xiaomi more shots... I mainly shoot leica vibrant with Xiaomi - better, somewhow more detail too than authentic (?). Vivo better with portraits (awesome) and tele low light. closing main aparture a bit on xiaomi (f4 in good light) bumps up natural level of detail.

We'd like to see how Xiaomi 14 ultra stack up to iPhone 16 pro max 😌🔥🙏🏽

Round camera module looks so outdated that it feels 90s era phone 😂 , every Chinese brand now a days is known for just slapping the highest mp in the camera, they are busy in collaborating with any European camera brand to just get the work done. Innovation only creates problem, no innovations no problems 😂

The Vivo It has the Zeiss the set Up not that I am Bias 😉🙃

Not much nature or anything else, take more pictures of people, portrait mood and normal mood.🇧🇩❤

How do you get that filter that you did on the pictures of xiaomi in 11:25? Can you also do that in vivo?

I never usually write that... Just wanted to beat the usual folk who do that lol

I know iphones don't stand a chance with these phones bc of lack of sensor size, but still wanna know your opinion.

Is there any setting to reduce sharpening and saturation in vivo? Also contrast is to much.

good day, and in what mode is xiaomi shooting? vibrant or authentic. Now I am in a state of choosing a phone and my soul lies with xiaomi, but I like many moments of photos in vivo, as well as honor magic 6 pro. I can't decide what is better to take for a photo, mostly portraits

Both cameras phones are not accurate or true to life. A really good camera should be able to take true to life pics.

vivo specs are impressive...but Xiaomi 14 ultra tells the story

The autumn and summer description was just poetic ✨

I am a vivo fan since X70 pro plus, having also X90 pro plus. Now I own X100 ultra. And this because in terms of photography i feel more secure going out with Vivo. Besides that and because we also talking about..... phones, Xiaomi's hyper OS is very annoying in many ways, while Vivo's when you get rid of all Chinese stuff and it is easy to do it, it is super.

Vivo win🎉

I can't decide which one, i want a phone that can take crispy image even when it is zoomed in and it can also take a very good picture at night. help me

Pick Jermaine! PICK!

Please make comparison of xiami14 vs pixel 9 vs samsung s24+

I really love how you describe both phone: 14 Ultra: Autumn VIVO: Summer Because in terms of quality you can measure with specs, histograms and any other parameters, but to describe the feelings that belongs to each camera you need to feel the photography, very nice review, almost poetic or maybe it is ♥

And compared to honor magic 6 Pro Max?

i have a xiaomi 14 ultra and love it

Turn the camera 90 degrees!!!!!

13:19 Vivo did better. Because of inferior hdr on Xiaomi and inferior hue accuracy. Vivo got the hue and hdr bang on in this case. But Vivo needs to tone down the sharpening

Xiaomi portrait mode made you look like a vampire 🧛‍♂️

For me, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra just gives better CAMERA vibes. That's not to say Vivo X100 Ultra has bad cameras, on the contrary, it has amazing cameras. The distinction for me, the Vivo X100 Ultra still shoots like a smartphone while the Xiaomi 14 Ultra shoots like a camera. And for that reason alone, it's why I decided to keep the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and send back the Vivo X100 Ultra.

You're right with saying the pixel is just too limited, i love this phones, wish i had one😂

12:23 well-encapsulated how I feel with mobile photography in general. Xiaomi 13 (w/ Leica) is what made me fall in love photography.

Always nice to see rhe video keep up the good work

On Vivo forums they find the Vivo x100 Pro camera better then ultra - the pro gets more updates then the ultra

I don't think it's fair to compare the Vivo X Hundred ulta with the phones that are out there today, no one but a lunatic will ever compete with it.

Please make a video on the latest rising Infinix Zero 40 5G with great camera sensor hardware and improved camera software.

Auto processing, not raw Xiaomi - Autumn Vivo - Summer iPhone SE 2020 - Autumn when Autumn, Summer when summer, Winter when winter. Forget the sensor size. The auto processing on iPhone ensures to replicate exactly what you see with your eyes and that should be be primary goal of any camera and any autumn/summer filters should be like additional options that you can pick up from while capturing

Even iphone 15 pro max and s24 ultra cant against vivo x100 ultra⚡

Vivo ❤

You see the 50MP tele regular raws and its over for 14U or any other phone

Vivo👑

BIG HANDS

For me this is a really hard choice because I love the sort of deep shadows of the Xiaomi but I shoot portraits so much, idk maybe i should just go for the vivo and just use the vintage mode at this point

Is it me or did the xiaomi not give the contrast-y punch it used to in previous videos

The best feature with Xiaomi ecosystem is You can make any use any app with dual apps and they really need to give option to stop charging at 80% like apple gave 😢

Any tips on how to get Vivo X100 Ultra in the Netherlands? :)

as a lover of photography, I am interested in long-range photography, then how well the object will be captured in the frame, observing it incognito. For example, wild animals or people in a natural environment. I don't know why I'm obsessed with zoom photography, maybe it gives me the feeling of an invisible man, a superpower.. especially when you just have a smartphone out of your pocket, and not a bulky, weighty device. In this case, the new hp9 200 MP sensor gives a slightly better result and according to some information The new Xiaomi 15 ultra will use it in combination with a 4x optical zoom. It's funny how technology manufacturers are only slightly improving the new product.))

Great Video!! 🙌

Both can beat the Samsung s24 Ultra in a camera compartment. 😂

X100 Ultra 👑

Great comparison and 2 great camera phones.

Man the Vivo's pics look awesome! Which camera modes and settings were you using most of the time?

Xiaomi is best in portrait mode.

ONE DAY! Just one day, I'll land one of these (Vivo priority number 1)

40th comment

iPhone 16 pro max vs Xiaomi 14 ultra ? can you make a video for between this phone

Why don't you compare the vivo100ultra with the iPhone 16 pro .. that's gonna be a really good comparison

Hi jermaine, would it be possible to take some photos in authentic and vibrant mode indoors and at night and compare them as if you were comparing 2 phones. I would like your enlightened opinion as a photographer on these modes in these conditions. Greetings

You are only making it harder for yourself with getting the Find X7 Ultra as well.😅 But you can't go wrong with either of them. Most people only have the one device and can't compare it to another one, and in that case both are excellent choices.

what the minimal distance u need to focus on a subject whith the ultra wide camera??? on both of those thank for ur help

Your video is so interesting but You need change background music during video Because music is so boring and older

I was on the verge to buy xiaomi but my friend who buy it two weeks ago have had a fogging issue that he cannot resolve. He send his unit back and want to try with another one one but I'm not sure now. I don' want to have hustle with 1000 euro worth phone.

ILL CHOICE XIAOMI 14 ULTRA OVER ALL DESIGN IS MODERN , VIVOs X100ULTRA DESIGN IS OUTDATED ESP THE FRONT AND THE UI IS LIKE 2020 YEAR PHONE 😢

I am currently using the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and I really love its camera experience.

i love my Xiaomi 14 ultra

Which phone captures spring and winter better?

Thanks man.. Long awaited video.. 😊

The LOG footage of the Vivo looks bad compared to Xiaomi. It is too oversharpened.

OMG.06:25 are you telling me we have 200mp raw on Vivo x100 ultra periscope lens and then a 50mp raw on the main lens. That's quite amazing What are the corresponding file sizes for those? I have the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and use the 50mp raw. But I really need to have a stable hand to get a non blurry image Can you post sample raw files from Vivo if possible? It would be the first mobile phone then to allow for a 200mp raw

Each has his own merits

Can you make a google Pixel 9 pro xl vs xiaomi 14 ultra vs vivo x100 ultra comparison pls🔥

can you do a camera comparison between small phone ? ie; sub 6 inch phone because many of us want a good camera phone but do not want a huge phone. thanks and i enjoyed all your camera content.

leica leitz phone 1 Why don't you make a video about it?

I'm surprised that you are using the 'textured' setting on the Vivo. Was the reasoning for that just it was most similar to the 14 Ultra? It is my option the default zeiss profile is far nicer

It was a shame your macro shots on the Vivo were completely out of focus. I guess you didn't notice until you had got back home so were not able to retake them?

14 ultra more natural and unit color

Cinematic Xiaomi

should include zte z60s pro..

10:10 hdr on Xiaomi has always been a weak link. Unfortunately, this is the one area you can't recover in Raw as well. Their multi stack processing needs a revisit. That's why you see crushed shadows and usual underexposure. It's either too dark to capture the light and loses other info or too bright to over expose the light. They need to stack up images from three varying ranges of exposure atleast. Not sure if they are doing that

awesome shots ,😍
