Simon, great review. I communicated with Xiaomi Support via their X account and then through the Feedback in setting (at the bottom) about the camera unable to switch between front and back camera while recording. They replied saying "We have included your suggestion and will communicate with the product PM to consider whether to add this feature in subsequent product updates. Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions." The more Xiaomi 14 owners request this feature the better chance they will add it.
I did that 9 years ago to get the moisture out of my Sony Xperia phone. Opened the sim tray and turned on the camera to heat it up internally 🤣 worked 👌🏼
Actually you can use manual settings shooting RAW on the 14. If you are shooting in Ultra RAW you can't. But Shooting RAW 50mp on the main camera gives you control over SS and ISO and everything else.
I have same issue and I had kept it in silica ball for 1 week every night by removing sim card but still fogging issue not solved please please please help me 😢 please
In the Xiaomi 14 I can't switch the selfie camera to back camera and visa versa when recording. Have to stop recording them switch the camera lens and restart recording. Really hope Xiaomi can fix this with an update.
In camera settings there's a option for you to set the exposure to your face or whole scene its called metering. So yeah they didn't look over the front cam
Xiaomi has released Hyper OS 1.0.7 for Ultra in which they claim they've fixed Exposure issue & improved Portrait shots.. So not sure whether your phone had this already..
You have shared wrong information regarding settings for iso,shutter etc That we cannot change in RAW mode It's actually you can change in RAW mode But you cannot change in Ultra RAW for Regular 14.
YOU CAN CHANGE IT IN THE SETTINGS!! its called metering in camera settings which will let you choose if you want to set exposure so that the face is brigher or set the correct exposure for the whole scene
@@haikalabubakar2372 go to camera settings, there will be a option for front cam called metering change it to whichever you like to well exposed either your face or the whole scene
Hi, thank you for the review. I was already fixed and shortlisted for the Xiaomi 14 , but now I'm again confused 🤔 after this comparison with 14U. Obviously i cannot afford the 14U, but this tempting me to wait for the 14U to be affordable. Could you please assist me in deciding...
I am in the same boat. I'll never pay that much for a phone and the size of 90% of phones is to big IMO. I am still going for 14 since it's better in all these photo features than Samsung Apple and better priced. If you wanna wait for Ultra to be better priced you will have to wait for release of 15 and get a used Ultra. And who knows how much of these software things will be added by update to 14 and how many will 15 add.
@@smetljesm2276 that means i'll have to wait almost another year which i'm obviously not going to. I do own rather old Redmi Note 10 Pro now and really wanted the next phone to be the best upgrade in all sense. So i was expecting to get one 1" sensor phone, because i'm a part photographer. The Xiaomi 13 U was my candidate, but 14 just filled all checks except the 1" and smaller size. 14 U is too much, rather Samsung S24 Ultra is still cheaper than it in my place.
8:36 4k120 on the 14 Ultra looks more like 720p@120 to my eyes, it looks very digital and overprocessed, which on Sony Xperia phone it looks like a proper camera
Wow... More than a bit disappointed that i can only get custom profiles in Ultra😢😢 That was one of the biggest upgrades to ohoto mode I was looking forward to in 14😢 Still gonn aget it as uts the most capable of all flagships in features etc... The raw mode where you can't adjust exposure sounds more like than a deliberate ommision. That is crazy😅
i face same problem in 14 ultra,but xiaomi service care said,this mobile replaced and new phone gave from xiaomi.....but now same problem in my replacement phone....
What did i gather from this Wonderful comparison, well IMO the Xiaomi 14 is a much better choice theres really nothing that makes the ultra worth the extra money over the 14. So im buying the 14
That rattling sound should only be while the camera app is not active. When the camera engages the lenses should lock and not rattle. That's what my Mi 11 does.
hey simon glad to start commenting.. do u think the white variant will get dirty over time? im getting anxieties of any white plastic leather turn yellow
no it wont as matter of fact i purchased the green varient which has the same material as the white but the black varient is matt balck but the green does collect a lot of finger print but putting it in a case doent really matter :)
Hello, does the Xiaomi 14 Ultra Global version you tested have a 5300mAh battery? I ask this question because mine has a 5300mAh battery. And let me be clear, it's a Global version. While at the presentation of the official Xiaomi Global version, it was announced that the battery was 5000mAh for the Global version even on their official website it's 5000mAh. This is the reason for my question and my concern. Normally, the 5300mAh version was only intended for the Asian market. Thank you for your reply.
May I ask where did you get the 5300 mah global version, cause as far as I know it only comes with the Chinese Rom version. I want to get the 5300 mah version, but couldn't find the global rom version of it.
Does anyone have problems with camera fogging (going from warm to cold or vice versa) Xiaomi 14 ? I'm also interested in the battery life (if someone uses 2 SIM cards, a little playing games, a little photography, using it for surfing the Internet and social networks / applications, while the mobile Internet is turned on non-stop)?
Sir, please make a video about checking xiaomi 14 ultra's human shots with portrait shots, portrait videos, just check on human shots not animal and nature please sir😊 request & love from india😊
Disappointed with the fogging lens issues with the Xiaomi 14, it's N expensive phone and least Xiaomi could have done is try rectify the problem instead of ditching the phone.
Open the sim tray, start a video record on 8K and let it record for an hour or so, let the phone heat up, the moisture will escape, and then put back the sim slot, congratulations, you just solved the lens fogging issue
@SiHorrocks greetings from Brum! did you not experience lens fog on the main lens when you tinker with pro mode and you shoot outside? I have a 14U and it has happened to me several times already..
At first I thought I had finally found a compact flagship specs device with the X14, but now that there are more serious reviews like this one, I am increasingly distancing myself. That only makes the choice more difficult 😗
I wonder, does Xiaomi will improve the Xiaomi 14 camera through software updates or rather only the Ultra or not at all? One Plus 12 seems more likely to get updates.
Simon, thise device have lenses from Sony all the lenses are Sony and images get processed by Snapdragon Chipset and the Camera app by spyware king 💩 xioami 💩 so could you tell me what is the part of Leica here? What Leica do here? Nothing from Leica is here in this phone if i am not wrong.
@@RennieAsh %100 made by Sony. Sony and Leica have no collaboration or business at all. So it's a Fake advertisement. All the lenses made by Sony, designed by Sony, developed by sony Pureeeeee Sony. Just sonyyyyy
@@RennieAsh also the same lenses made by Sony exact same model you can find in other device from different manufacturers 😅 oohhh Boi you don't know anything
A major problem like lens fogging at any price segment, let alone this expensive is totally unacceptable….i’ve read many users complaining on reddit, it’s kind of a dealbreaker for me tbh…
I don't understand how Leica can Co sign with xiaomi. it's destroying their reputation putting that hideous front camera with bad hdr and tone mapping. I don't get it, why can't they fix that?
@@masoomumidigi5429 if this was apple or Samsung they'd be absolutely roasted. give these companies the same energy so they wouldn't produce shit like this.
There's a setting for front cam to either set the exposure to your face or the whole scene its called metering so yeah they didn't look over it. Its just set to the face by default
Dear RU-vidr, kindly answer my question as soon as possible. Does the Xiomi 14 ultra has "The 3 finger screenshot" feature unlike other Android phones? Please answer my question as my decision to buy this phone depends on this answer..
Yes you can use the 3 finger slide down screenshot, you can also screenshot using volume down and power button, you can select one or both in settings.
@@RSCB Dear are you sure it has? Some people are replying that it doesn't has. Another answered that Xiomi 13 ultra had it but 14 ultra doesn't has this feature even though it's an updated model. Kindly help me so that my money doesn't get wasted. I will not buy it if it doesn't has 3 finger sliding screenshot feature. Appreciate your honest response.
Celulares chineses maioria estouram infelizmente em vídeo o hdr sooo usando uma Gcam, Huawei, Google pixel e Samsung são os que não estouram o hdr resto só lamento quando se Diz câmeras nativas xiaomi tô bem desapontado com a marca tô no quinto xiaomi já, de momento um xiaomi 13, mas pretendo próximo troca de marca um Oppo find X 6pro, ou um s23 ultra
