Xiaomo 14 Ultra versus Pixel 8 Pro camera comparison 

Almost always preferred the Xiaomi apart from selfie pictures and a few hdr situations. I don't understand the comments.

Yes, Xiaomi has worse HDR. But when you take picture with iPhone and Sony A9 II, sony will have worse HDR than iPhone. Does it mean that iPhone is better camera? To be honest, I prefer look of the photos from Xiaomi much, much more. They are more natural. Some time ago when pixel introduced that HDR look, everyone was hating it. Now it is standard in smartphones, and I am not a big fan of it. So I am just glad that we have some variety of devices with different look, so everyone can find something for him/herself.

The Pixel was impressive! Excited to get the 8 pro.

Great helpful comparison, most detailed that I have seen on RU-vid. Thanks

Night Video is where the Pixel Ai algorithm sharpening & lighting adjustment cant keep up on the fly and you see the pixel struggling... Photo is also where the Pixel looks like a phone photo, trying to even out every area while the Xaomi is not shy to over expose area where it should be just like a SLR & what you see with your eye.

The pixel is a great camera phone for your instagram and social media ready shots, just like the iPhone and S24 ultra....From a photographers point of view the Xiaomi 14 ultra is in a completely different league, years ahead from a technology and processing point of view - it's the closest thing to a dedicated point and shoot camera that you can get right now.

Most of the situations it's Pixel 8 pro for me, that Pixel software makes up a lot even without 1inch sensor

Pixels algorithm is next level I would love to see xiaomeme 14 Ultra with Gcam ❤

Pixel still likes to raise shadows a bit too much for my liking. For example, at 2:20 the Ultra preserved the atmosphere better, the Pixel raised the shadows too much, flattening the image and taking the focus away from the main subject in the background. At 2:50 the car's tire is too bright on the Pixel, it's almost white; on the Ultra it's black, as it should be. On the other hand Pixel handled challenging conditions better. At 3:50 and 4:35 the Ultra really clipped the light. I preferred the Pixel in video overall, surprising because video is usually Pixel's weakspot. Night shots were close too, but I prefer the way Ultra handles artificial light, Pixel washes away colour at 8:44, and at 10:15 Ultra handles the light in a more pleasant way. Very close overall though, you can't go wrong with either. Which begs another question, is it even worth going through the effort of importing the Ultra?

Xiaomi 14 Ultra momental best photo phone.

Thanks for the beautiful comparison between the 2 phones. It's kinda a mix bag. On one hand, the Pixel is reigning supreme and on the other the Xiaomi is excelling. However, although you pointed out the shortcomings of the Xiaomi, `I'd still pick it up for a few points: 1- The One Inch Sensor and where it's doing a good job at night. 2- the color rendition is much butter on Xiaomi. 3- Pixels uses high ISO therefore, it's images come brighter and more detailed in shadowy areas but at the same time the image quality is noisy. Thanks.

Honor 90 is a midrange phone and it does record 4K back and front camera.

is Pixel 8 (non pro) get same photo quality with the pro model ? except Telephoto of course

Daylight video on Xiaomi appears to be 1080p and not 4k

Thanks to the author for taking into account the comments on the past comparison! 👍👍👍

its like xiaomi 14 ultra > have taken the stock google cam and modified it as per their mood and style > but video skin tone was quite impressive 👀 No one can beat HDR of google cam ever > absolute banger

I love your choice of music for the night test it really suits the ambience.,👍

The Pixel has artificial dynamic range, called HDR. Therefore pictures look computerised as with a lot of phones.

And why doesn't anyone mention how overexposed all the photographs are on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra??? It's what stands out the most and no one says it...I don't understand it. The Pixel 8 Pro is clearly superior and that's without use UltraHDR with the maximum resolution of all the sensors, whose processing is better and more natural, which then literally destroys it, and let's not talk about Video Boost (I don't understand why it hasn't been used in the comparison), since it is superior in every way, especially in low luminosity. If you have resources in the P8P it is to use them, and even without using them, it clearly surpasses the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. In addition, it heats up and drains the battery, on the other hand, The P8P has clean and fluid software, without advertising, with continuous updates and improvements, it does not need a one-inch sensor to be the better, as seen in the video. I don't understand RU-vidrs' obsession with not using UltraHDR and Video Boost in comparisons. If they did, the P8P would be even higher. that how I know? Very simple, because I have the P8P, and I bought the Xiaomi 14 Ultra at launch, I compared them and the P8P was better in everything, and when I saw the problems with the X14U, I returned it a week after buying it

Wow, very surprised to see the Pixel 8 Pro do so well considering the huge price difference here in the UK, there were some situations where I preferred what I was seeing from the Pixel, others where I felt the Xiaomi was technically better, especially if I was to tweak in post but, as a point and shoot, I was surprised the Pixel 8 Pro did so well (computational photography making up for the smaller sensor size?) against a phone camera that everyone's talking about, along with the Oppo and Vivo rivals.

I like the way Xiaomi controls the face exposure in darker situations although it might not be completely accurate to real life conditions but I personally like it better But when it comes to environmental exposure control there's absolutely no doubt that pixel does it better, it seems every camera has a problem with exposure control, when there's too much light and too little on some parts of a subject the camera just outright can't focus on both areas unlike the pixel, the pixel also keeps focus and precision better, But well done to Xiaomi still.

سيدي تقوم بعمل ممتاز دائما 💕👌🥰📸 كلا الجهازين لهم مواصفات قوية

Wow xiaomi is in another league specially for the rear camera department giving pixel a very tough competition this year. Needs to improve a lot in front camera though. Would pick up xiaomi anyday as there are lot more stuff to do with phone other than camera in which pixel's tensor just cant compete with SD. Thanks for the caperision✌️

it's weird it couldn't get some highlight details on daylight here in the video. not unlike xiaomi. it captures better neon details at night, so idk what's with that on daylight. maybe the AI has to be turned on. or HDR doesn't get triggered.

Authentic, i love it! 😊 About the two smartphones, both are good. Sometimes one do a better job than the other and conversely. I love Xiaomi but i think on this test i choose Google. Thanks for your job 👍

Good comparison. I think it all comes down to personal preferences. I like my pictures and videos more natural, as well as I like to tweak them myself in post-production. This way, my first choice will be Xiaomi. On the other hand the people who like to click and share and don't like to edit their pics and vids, Pixel is a good option. For my taste, pixel looks too processed and artificial compared to Xiaomi.

What's the background music though 🙏🏻, please do share

This is the first time in 11 years Ive watched a comparison on a monitor and wow, the pixel 8 pro just found a new level of respect. Ive always watced on my phone for convience but im glad a got my 8 pro for $200 after trade in of my Note 20 ultra, it looked better in everything, great job Google.

Great video 👍

I'd pick a Pixel phone for snapping photos over everything else, any day.

both phone is good but I had bad experience where my xiaomi mi10t pro died suddenly I don't know why. Now I'm kinda had trust issue with xiaomi brand even my sister xiaomi phone also died in the past (pocophone x3 nfc). I hope my 2nd used pixel 7 may last longer and not randomly broken like my past xiaomi.

Pixel 8 Pro is still a capable camera but in this comparison video I think the Xiaomi is slightly better. Nice comparison video thank you

In my opinion Pixel is good at selfies and ultra wide ....rest of the categories belongs to Xiaomi😃

I want ask you mr,how fast you charging with the best fast charger pixel 8 pro from 10-100%??????.please answer me.thank you🙏

I have the P8P, and I am happy to see that in almost every photo case it was by far the best! However, for video I use the iPhone 15PM. I don't know how they do it, but it is light years ahead of the video from the Pixel. Google needs to fix this!!

Why put such hideous music in the background. it a camera comparision video not a music video. the music completley ruins the video

More telephoto shots please🙏

Actually the dynamic range of the main sensor on 14 Ultra is objectively better. You can't judge dynamic range with just default capture from auto exposure. If you can't be bothered to adjust the ev to taste then that is not the fault of the sensor.

vivo x100 pro & pixel 8 pro its super

Waiting for Pixel 9 Pro smaller size.

Looking at the photos from the 14 ultra makes me think how i want to edit them. But the photos from p8p looks like i won't even look twice at them. They are way too over-processed , colors are bad, highlights and shadows don't have any character and let's not forget oversharpening . Pixel photos remind why i stopped doing photography with my phone camera.

in most parts of your video i like the pixel 8 pro photos and videos far better than the xiaomi 14 ultra in this video. thank you

Xiaomi 14Ultra needs to fix overexpose and potrait mode issue.

UW pixel 8 pro

The 14U still can't quite beat Pixel 8 Pro yet even though it has better hardware.

Thanks

Looks like Xiaomi has nicer colors, better shadow/contrast handling, and very pretty bokeh, but poor hdr makes daytime photography awful lol Xiaomi easily wins at night

Is it only me or most of Xiaomi photos are blown up? I mean, look as most main shots & Xiaomi is unable to handle HDR in most of them.. 😮

I'm curious about the battery in Pixel, I heard it's weak. How did the Pixel battery last during a whole day of shooting videos and photos? Will it last all day or did it need to be charged?

暗いところではセンサーサイズの差が出ているように見えますね。それ以外はピクセルの方が画像の処理が上手い感じがします

Pixel's dynamic range is artificial, based on HDR, and hence computerised. Good for the casual and unpretentious point-and-shoot social media snapshots, whilst the Xiaomi reminds me of real photography of the old. One had to make choices. Which part of the photo needs to be properly exposed and one had to adjust Ev, shutter speed and aperture. Furthermore, I don't find it necessary to see everything in the shadows. Blacks can give stills that special ethos.

По цене Pixel раза в три дешевле Xiaomi, и учитывая что по фотовозможностям он превосходит китайца, выбор очевиден, но у обоих есть минусы перед Самсунгом и Айфоном, у которых в разы стабильнее операционная система, лучше видеосъемка, у Pixel самый слабый процессор из всей четверки, но учитывая что мне посчастливолось купить новый Pixel 8 pro за 400$, я очень доволен. Ха эти деньги на рынке нет ничего лучше .

This time nights are for the Xiaomi. And if needed "Pixel effects" i guess we'd go for the GCam on Xiaomi too...😁

Xiaomi is overexposed, the Pixel has such a better dynamic range, would be good to see how it compares to Honor magic 6 pro

Just sold my iPhone 15 Pro Max and got the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. No regrets

Was HDR enable on Xiaomi ? Since it can be easily done while taking picture, to explain those differences in bright light ? I have pixel 7 pro, but prefer images from xiaomi 14. Pixel too much hdr, would be nice to have the option to mute it

14 Ultra performance is amazing. 👍

Pixel 8 Pro wins in photos (front and back cameras) and Xiaomi 14 Ultra wins in video. Were all the pics taken with the same settings for both?

Pixel image processing is top notch (next level)

Pixel 8 pro is better, better HDR and selfies.

Except for the selfie, Xiaomi all the way

Xiaomi is inconsistent, in some vidoes, it blows Samsung, Google and Apple out of the water, and others, it performs like this

Wow that^s all I can say

I'll ultra... and good for the price.

Pixel 3. In a walk.

Pixel is overall better.. xiomi is a little better in low light.. and pixel has googles support and software updates.. xiomi .. not available in the USA. so pixel for me.. !!

Je vote pour Google

i prefer the xiaomi 14 ultra watching it on my tv, i can see the pictures are much better, there are few cases where pixel did better, but overall i prefer xiaomi and i own both the xiaomi 14 ultra and pixel 7 pro, google has too much processing which sometimes makes your photos look unreal, those who own pixel phones will know, xiaomi is more natural

Pixel 8 Pro ❤, who wants to buy Mi 14 Ultra with their lens condensation issues. Pixel Google OS is mind blowing better the much hyped hyper OS. 7 years of OS update on the pixel is excellent.

xiaomi looks more canon/fuji cinematic, pixel is sharper, almost too sharp and harsh. pixel makes selfies look like you are 15yrs older

Pixel

Professional photographers would prefer Xiaomi 14 ultra anyday

Let's say the AI of the pixel produces "better" photos but are they still your photos? Typical pixel postprocessing style.

Just install GCam 8.9 BSG and you ll see Pixel melt down

Pixel is King of HDR

It's an easy win for pixel.

I noticed that there's no contrast in every Pixel 8 Pro photo. All the HDR processing just makes the photo looks flat and dull in every Pixel photo, even the night shots.🤔

Google Pexel 8pro Winner 🏆

I like the Pixel better in this test..

Both are doing great but the Pixel is definitely ahead for realism and details

Overall, the pixel is much better.

Дякую за порівняння 🔥

How I see - GP8Pro is full vinner.

I'm sorry Xiaomi, but Pixel is still better 🙁

I wanted to like the xiaomi because of that awesome photography kit but the pixel really does look better most of the time

I had no comment. I love using a professional camera and xiaomi is working perfectly to my taste. The colors the dark the contrast the shadows brightness and casual blown out over exposed is similar to a professional camera. Sorry pixel! I don't like too much HDR. but decent users may like it

Poxel does better overall. Xiaomi does better in low-light due to it's bigger sensor.

Xiaomi even sucks in video too. Check 3:46.

Xiaomi blows away pixel . Pixel sucks at hardware

Xiaomi wins at the selfie camera, the highlights are smooth and shadows are nicely lifted up.

Uw, 5x and 1x pixel 8 pro wins

Do not need to see the comparison to know that the Pixel is better...

Why do you guys keep using the pixel 8 pro to compare with much more powerful phones? The pixel isn't flagship level

You supposed to give your viewer correct information..it is never good to sharpen up the picture with too much HDR like what pixel does... Also it is clearly shows how stronger and better is Xiaomi at lower light and darker scenes in video and photos at controlling highlights and color reproduction. Physics can not be beaten and Xiaomi has much better and bigger sensors and this always shows in lower light situation not sunny and bright environments. In bright environments almost all flagships are more than good with little difference. It is the lower light environments tgat makes them apart specially shows the hardware strength.

Спасибо за обзор! По нему у меня сложилось впечатление, что видео лучше на Xiaomi 14 а фото лучше на Pixel 8 Pro😊 ...За редкими исключениями... 😊

Xiaomi por el simple hecho de no exagerar las luces y los detalles me gusta más, su filosofía es más natural. De noche la diferencia es más notoria.
