The hardware is already perfect, they just need to do some finishing improvements on software on next year's 14 Ultra.

Honestly loved the review. Great details and great work
That camera/case accessory thing is so cool , sad you missed that in the video.
Last year I was not really impressed with the 12S Ultra and actually doing blind tests proved me that it was not even close to other smartphones, but this year's 13 Ultra is really really impressing me, that's a hell of a step up

Where did u do blind tests. Big screen test raw or jpg doesn't matter, 1" easily beats every other phone. I am a professional photographer. And with gcam, it is untouchable, nothing comes close. Maybe 23 ultra, except for oil painting.

@@rizakayan MKBHD conducted a blind test site last year and I did it in a 55" 4K TV as a monitor and it did not go well for the 12S Ultra. The test used the mais camera's stock configuration for all of the entries, so no RAW/professional/editing comparisons, just straight up common user/consumer test, which is the main focus and purpose for every other phone and actually what's shown in this video (and previous videos). You can be as professional as you want but stating that a 1" sensor is better than ALL OTHER when it comes to smartphone cameras is not the final truth at all... there will be other aspects to put on the table as well, and since we're talking about smartphones and not DLSR, and also about this video's content, it all comes down to opening the camera app and shooting, and the 12S Ultra from last year was bad.

Mi phones are just boring and the camera is just not good enough like Vivo or Samsung. I sold my 12s ultra and bought vivo x90 pro+ and totally satisfied Looking at this video i feel 13 ultra is copy paste of 12s ultra. Never again!

Great review as always, but please provide some 100% crops when comparing the photo samples.
Nice review. My first comment since i started following your channel. This phone is absolutely unique. It's packed with almost everything because i heard you mention the Ir blaster too. I wish this actual model will come to Nigeria but without the 5G network, because i don't think we have 5G here yet.
8k24 at 5x would be so useful while doing commercial video work, if you've got a tripod. That F4 option on the main helps, as well, for limiting shutter speed on video. I've used it sometimes for video on the Huawei Mate 50 Pro, but Xiaomi going the extra mile and making it selectable in all modes (not just pro) is super sweet.
Thanks for the comprehensive review. But a couple things I'd like to point out. It's a camera centric phone, so talking about manual video recording would've been great. Adding to that, my guess is the 4.0 aperture is there also to let the user record "cinematic" videos during the day, since the sensor is so sensitive to light that its probably jumping to insanely fast shutter speeds during the day, probably somewhere around 1/10k or faster. The 1900 fps is not "frame by frame", it's software based. At 1080p, this is the only option so far. The real fps is probably the 3rd of that. The interpolation is clearly visible in your video. Telephoto camera in this phone is 5x, so saying that it gets 10x "in lense" is a bit misleading.
Awesome review Nick... Just awesome! Ty.
man! Good to see you like always! Good nerdy reviews are what we need more of!

I had to stream this video in 1080p 60fps to truly see what that camera is all about. I don't care about 1080p selfie video though I think with such a prize it should have but I'm amazed by how good this phone is and the most important thing of all Xiaomi offers 3 years of OS updates and MIUI is more polished than ever. I'm getting this as my daily driver once it hit global stores ❤😅

Great review,thank you
Really need to see it side by side against s23U!
What about the sound during video recording? In another review they showed video from this phone with sound, and for me, being used to iPhone sound which is great, this one seemed a bit lower quality😢 some echoes and overall not as good as the iphone's full stereo sound recording... or so it seemed from a youtube review. did you test that out, how was the sound in videos from this phone?
Taking into account international availability, would this be a better option than the Honor Magic 5 Pro?
very satisfied for this review. hope it will be re-review after a month. 😊
"End of DSLR" UNBELIEVABLE!!!
With this phone, I can eliminate carrying my heavy old trusty DSLR 7100 Nikon with all the pointless lenses. As a tourist, this will make my life easy. Amazing coverage of this phone & specially the detailed tech specs of the cameras.
great camera review man..
Nice camera review. I still wonder about its slow motion capabilities you briefly mentioned. Not all reviewers talk about this. What is the maximum fps at 720p ? You said it can take 1080p at 1920fps. That's nice. How about maximum continuous shooting frame rate for 1080p ? Can it record 1080p 240fps continuously ? That would be awesome for sports events. I think it should be able to take 1080p at 240fps if it can take 4K 60fps technically. And also I believe the Chinese manufacturers block the 4K mode on front camera deliberately in software, not because the hardware is not able to do it. Xiaomi 13 Ultra, Oppo Find X6 Pro, Vivo X90 Pro Plus triple camera review will be very well appreciated, just so you know.

The 1920 is interpolation and not real frame capture imo. Real slow mo tends to be the 240fps and 120fps options.
Excellent Nick 🎉
Rather than having a camera bump, just make the phone one thickness and use the extra space for battery and i/o sockets. Other than that, it looks good, be interesting to see how the sw handles the sensor etc

What about the 6 minute recording limit. Is this just for 8k or also 4k ?

Can telephoto do the same as super macro , i love my redmi note 10 pro it takes great pictures but i need to change now ,what would you suggest after reading my coment ? Cheers love your review they are very clear and straight to the point 😊
is this flagship model still advertisement base? I own Mi Note 10 and it's a good phone but basically out of box adware if not self fine tune it away in settings..
I actually do see it as the end of DSLR / mirroless cameras. Its the first time I don't feel like I need my regular camera
If this gets in my country I'm buying this, i don't need this not at all, but when I'll want something that makes awesome photos then this is it. That continuous 4k/60fps from the ultrawide to 15x zoom is something that blew my undies away.

Can switch lens without stop recording on 60fps video?
That cooling system is insane
While I agree this is the new camera king, to say that it's ahead by a large margin is a bit of an exaggeration. This is still top of my list to possibly be the first phone I import to the US of Sony doesn't do anything this summer.
Excelent..
The one that makes me want it more because of the photography kit. But the only problem for me is that most of the Android only updates for 2-3 years, unlike Apple. The last most of my family members are in the Apple ecosystem, which means I need to make good reasons otherwise, I need to bring two phones. The idea is that the best camera is the best camera you can carry around every day and this phone offer that.
You also get a backdoor RAT baked into the firmware.
WHAT A BEAST
Happy to see all phones now are competing on cameras. Photography is keeping the competitions and youtubers’ livings. Anything else is just thing u can survive without with.
