I actually think the most shocking thing about this video is the fact that i actually prefered the Xiaomi video. Generally speaking no one can compete with apple on video but xiaomis because of the larger sensor i expect is actually more natural less over processed and crisper and the stabilisation is amazing. When it comes to stills, yes xiaomi needs to sort out their over exposure and personally i think iphone takes overly warm and overly contrasted images that dont look natural but xiaomi have doen an amazing job. Also all of xiaomis photos have noticibly less grain. Apple has done some greeat work on portrait masking though. For me though the pixel is still the still image king when it comes to balance and colours.

Xiaomi 13 ultra killed the 15 pro max is almost every instance except the selfie cemera. I thought this day would never come but look at the surprise xiaomi has given us... Really great job xiaomi 👏🏻

Did Xiaomi just beat Apple in video! 😮 incredible work Xiaomi!!!

I love that we came down to this type of differences nowadays. You can't go wrong withany of the flagship

I’d agree, I’d give the 15 to the average user who doesn’t rly do or fiddle all too much, but for someone who knows what they’re doing I’d hand them a Xiaomi 13 Ultra every time.

Wow quite impressed with the 13 Ultra's cameras.

Thank you for the videos! I know you put in a lot of time making these.

Solid work Ben. I always wait for your real life reviews on new phones. Some review channels I watch are just for entertainment, but you my friend are a different breed. You're one of the most unbiased reviewers in the game. Kudos!

I Always appreciate it man !!! Doing a good job !! Keeping people informed !!

Amazing camera from Xiaomi 13 Ultra. It's mind blown to see 13 Ultra still a top notch although the phone considered older than Iphone 15 pro max.

Have some rest Xiaomi 13 Ultra is the best

Nice work Ben! My findings between these two phones and Oppo Find X6 Pro are more or less the same. I still find Find X6 Pro to be my fav low light camera system, but overall I'm really impressed by what I see from my 15 Pro Max this year!

Thank you Ben for the nice comparison video

Always enjoy your camera comparison videos.😊 Looking forward to pixel 8 soon.

Good content. I like the effort you put in your reviews. Keep it up

Another great video Ben!!

I appreciate you label the sponsor segment and how you tell us when your are not filming with either of the phones thank you

I like the way you make the comparison, good video

The best camera comparison by far, but as a xiaomi 13 ultra user i will say no phone can compete with 13 ultra nowadays but the portrait shots have change a lot after few updates and they make even worse improvment

Great video 👏 must've been a ton of work to edit all these different pieces of footage together

I would lean Xiaomi. Unfortunately, after the first two weeks with a phone I always switch to Pro Mode shooting exclusively. Great video as always.

Great work Ben! Thanks 😇

i really like how you address this content , is very entertaining, how the differences are emphasized from a very precise perspective, which is cool , thanks.

Love the work you do, i understand the struggle

Thanks for the great content. This was fun to watch. I'm enjoying my 15 pro max so far!

i've been waiting for your review Ben! most trusted opinion =) thank you!

Thanks for this amazing content!

That's a fair review. Thank you for this video.

❤ Love your Video, Amazing review.

Welcome back home dude! ✨👍

I still preferred the brighter photos of Xiaomi. It's easier to post correct overexposed shots than brightening up underexposed photos

iPhone 15 Pro Max heats up to very hot temp that is becomes difficult to hold and then it auto dims the screen brightness and then starts cooling down. When it auto dims you can't even increase its screen brightness manually no matter how hard you try it will not increase till the phone gets cooled down. This happened to me in 15 Pro Max in India , on using video camera for merely 40 to 60 seconds.

Keep creating this type of content thankyou

Thanks for your videos. I'm waiting about your Pixel 8 Pro video

Xiaomi is 300 usd cheaper on amazon and is just as Good. Exposure issues im sure can be adjusted slightly. Its also probably because of the 1 inch sensor

Interesting to see iphones having worse autofocus than xiaomi also, xiaomi's video quality was impressive. I think xiaomi should include more aperture options in their main camera. And the macro shooting capability of xiaomi 13 pro should come back. And maybe the new sony Exmor-T sensor can be used in the 3x telephoto

I have to say I mostly preferred what the imagery via the Xiaomi 13 U, damn shame they never released it in the UK

Great vid. Yeah man camera comparisons are so much work. Still sitting my mate60p iPhone 14pm vid 😂 gonna do it all over when my iPhone 15pm arrives this week too

We need to see the comparison between the iPhone and Vivo and Huawei

Both did a great job, great camera comparison but at this time Xiaomi 13 ultra move to advance 👌

Thanks for good content

Thanks man, great

4:40 You need to turn off live photos if you want a fair comparison between photos. When live photos is turned on the phone has to take a photo AND a short video at the same time. I'm not sure how much it degrades the photo quality but I assume there is some reduction due to splitting resources.

Good comparison! Cheers! Some idea's coming from a long term photographer/videographer that might be of interest for coming reviews. 1) Regarding evening photography. Some phone's will lower the shutter speed quite a bit more compared to others. They do this to get lower ISO's and reduce noise. First reviewer response is usually: "Ah, so this phone is better at night, because it shows slightly less noise" But there's no free lunch... the lower shutter speed creates a higher chance of a blurry pic. It's nice to have clean pic's, but it's also nice if your uncle with a bit less steady hand can also take the family picture at your brothers nephews sisters former roommate's wedding. So please add the exif info for evening/night shots. 2) There are short bursts of blur in the video at the 1:18 mark. It is more obvious on the iPhone because the iPhone apparently uses a lower shutter speed for video. It's a known side effect of digitally stabilizing video where the shutter speed isn't up to par to keep every frame sharp. 3) In their efforts to reduced noise in photo's to an absolute minimum, phone manufacturers tend to increase noise filtering to untold levels. At the same time they want to keep the images look sharp and thus they increase the artificially sharpening to equally untold levels. Don't fall into the trap of 'more sharpening and noise filtering = better photo. 100% crops of dogs or cats is a good way of telling what's happening. Any other camera manufacturer has figured out ages ago what a good photo should look like, so it's unfortunate this filtering/sharpening thing still seems a stubborn issue with phone camera's. It has no technical reason to do it anyways. Apple has been tone-deaf for years on this issue (the internet is full of this), but luckily with IOS17 they finally decided to make a change for the better. The Oppo Find X6 Pro started with excessive sharpening too in it's post processing, but luckily after the second update or so, the sharpening was toned down.

Great video my guy, proud to see Xiaomi trumping Apple in atleast some areas and actually being competitive 👌🏾🔥

when see the comparison smartphones camera... i can confirm that DXO mark was biased

I love street photography. That's what I mostly love to take. So. For me. The choice is obvious because of two reasons. 1 - I love Chinese phones a lot. I'm super loyal to them ❤️ I've been fan of them since 2018 when I had my Huawei P20 pro back in the days. 2 - I like street photography. So. I am going to choose Xiaomi 13 ultra 🔥

Feels like apple changed a bit of their philosophy in the video side of things especially in low light. From what i watched before they used to expose darker so the video has better framerate and looks less jittery but now they seem to crank up the brightness and lower shutter speed a bit resulting in more of that jelly like effect when you take a step

I'm really amazed at how Xiaomi holds up to this flagship. I wonder what the Xiaomi 14 Pro/Ultra will be like. Hopefully they'll improve on the sensor. My first preference will always be Xiaomi, the amazing incredible MIUI software and its plitheria of undending excursions.

Thx for work. But...if u use prores log vs normal xiaomi 13 ultra... what Is Better for video? I mean what Is most similar to a real camera?

Honestly, it just goes to show how good the Xiaomi is... The only flagship I have not tested this year is the iPhone 15, but my experience is that I carry the 13 Ultra for everyday and also the Huawei P60 Pro - these two cameras have dominated 2023 for me, over the S23U, Honor Magic 5 Pro, Vivo X90pro, Xiaomi 13 Pro

they are two beasts but the iPhone the photos both day and night have excellent quality but the xiaomi 13 ultra is better I don't understand during the day the photos have strange colors... which leica mode did you use... but yes this year Apple is strong with its iPhone 15 pro max... so far... because the pixel 8 pro and the xiaomi 14 pro are coming.

Great content

thanks for hard work in producing this comparision video. i do alot of night vidography, was wondering if i shoud get the 1" sensor vivo x90 pro+ vs xiaomi 13 ultra or this iphone 15 pro max. any advice?

I own a 15 PM and X13 Ultra’s performance in this video is damn impressive! I might even give the W to it!❤ thanks for the video!

Xiaomi for the W. Not gonna lie this was very closed, but the 13 Ultra delivers big on this one, for me personally. But I would rely more on the iPhone for futures majors updates.

Mr Ben did you misplaced your Vivo X90 PRO PLUS? You've not made a comparison with it yet. Please do

A really, really good video comparison, and genuinely unbiased, which is my cup of tea.I kind of hope that Ben does a camera comparison of this iPhone 15 Pro max with the upcoming Google Pixel 8 pro.From past history, the Google Pixel doesn't have overexposure problems, and the skin tones of that phone are the most accurate, and the night time photos are usually better than what you'd from the iPhone.I think that pattern will continue with the Google Pixel 8 Pro honestly.

Hey, great comparison 👍 Can you compare iPhone with Oppo find x6 pro?

Nice because comparisons with the 13 Ultra are not common because the device is not very popular here in Europe and I imagine in America compared to a Samsung or an iPhone. I have the 13 Ultra and I notice inconsistencies in the exposure, sometimes underexposed (especially 5X and ultra wide angle), sometimes the opposite. Otherwise it is efficient with its large sensor which gives good fine details without really being over sharp. Thanks for this comparison 👌

Thanks ben fir yoir reoewd. You forget the huawei p60 in camera department....? Have a good day.

Hi Ben any info on the Red Magic 9, hopefully will be my next phone

Hey Ben! I wonder if you're gonna compare the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max to the upcoming Vivo X100 series? or the X90 Pro Plus at least? Thanks!

Great video Ben.👍. Just wish the Ultra wasn't a single market unicorn.

Ben please do a side by side test of the iPhone 15 Pro v Vivo X90 Pro Plus and do night time Lit up shop signs and Neon Lighting.

Interesting. Thanks for all the hard work to make the comparison. I may have missed it; were you in Leica Authentic or Vibrant for the Xiaomi? I wonder if that would explain some of the exposure and color differences.

There is a settings in the Xiaomi camera app which brightens the image unnecessarily just keep it off and everyone will click pictures from your camera only.

in iphone you have option to reduce exposure and save it as default . no more highlight issue

Yes more bokeh is shallower depth of field, more depth of field is sharper background. Closer than I thought, btw I heard the regular iPhone 15s have a better camera than the pros this year. Newer 48mp sensor, closer focusing distance, that's why the flowers won't focus here. Smaller sensor but somewhat sharper. iPhone 5x portraits are insane, looks like a camera. In terms of color profiles, I like realme cinematic tone.

Ultimate camera comparison.

9:37 (left) You were in Berlin? 😃👍 Couldn't you have announced before? 🤭😂

7:09 could it be you're too close to the flower, that's why it doesn't focus? IP15 Pro/Max have big-ass sensors so minimum focus distance is severely compromised.

7:18 the iPhone looks like it doesn't focus as close; you can see how it was switching to macro mode because the main sensor minimum focus distance is larger. It wasn't focusing because it couldn't physically focus with main sensor is my guess

How does the vivo x90 pro plus compare to the iPhone 15 pro max?

Ben ,I saw/heard what you did at 2:56 😂😂😂😂😂,first Jerryrig now Ben 😂😂😂

Can you do 15 pro max and mate 60 pro camera comparison

I love this in-depth comparison between Xiaomi Ultra and iPhone Pro Max and the iphone have shine in the department of balance exposure while Xiaomi is flawless with the autofocus mode. Xiaomi overexpose in many areas but the overexposed in Xiaomi had an edge over iPhone in two photos captures like the 5x zoom. I love this close in-depth comparison. 😎💯💯💪🏾👍🏾

Ben, are you testing the China or global version? Were you able to check 5g reception in the US? I'm hoping the 13 Ultra works will with T-Mobile.

well done 👏 bro

The iPhone - more refined, but doesn't use the best hardware especially the ultra wide and telephoto. Main sensor is good enough. And the light orbs... Many Androids have great hardware but the software especially on Chinese phones loves to be over exposed, or has some funky stuff going on with HDR/colours

To be neck and neck with Apple's cameras is actually huge. Props to Xiaomi for this Leica collaboration

When comparison to vivo x90 pro Plus especially with current software it improved allot

Why did you use the Leica vibrant? On 13 ultra.

Could you compare iPhone 15 Pro Max with Vivo X90 Pro Plus please?

Ben, if you look closely at 5x, the image is more stable or clearer on the xiaomi, iphone might have the accurate color rendition but at 5x i think it loses to the Xiaomi in both stills and video

Any reason for shooting live on iphone ? Selecting a single photo to keep from live would be a jpeg

Iam looking for a phone with the best quality videos and camera when i watch concerts... I think i found it.. Thank you for your video 😍

I love xiaomi 13 ultra. Iphone is good too but 13 ultra is my go to

Why didn't you just turn off Leica mode so that Xiaomi would stop overstating the exposure? Or you could switch to sport mode and get excellent detail and correct exposure

Worth comparing the 3x lens of Xiaomi vs the 15 pro 3x crop

Wow it blown me away the underdog makes stabilization a hell of Greatness so stable how they did make it and apple did their best for that ehh

I like your voice, its calming n cool

The stabilization works when you do action mode on zoom

The P60 Pro / Mate 60 Pro Vs Iphone 15 pro! That's what I wanna see ! I've been asking for it and only you can give us that in-depth comparison and you know why. Ones that's been following you for a while now know why. Either way dope comparison this one But please do one Vs Mate 60 Pro/P60 Pro.

Almost all iPhone's photos looks overprocessed and dark.

Bought a Xiaomi 13U last month (in part based off your video). Have been loving it, but the auto-exposure problem is a huge pain!! It is constantly over exposing and especially when a face enters the frame. In pro mode you can take excellent photos but the UX around auto-exposure and needing to tweak it constantly is truly bad.

Never expected that! Good work Xiaomi.

What's the whitespace on your nose on the photo

What i dont like about the Xiaomi photo processing is the soft look in some cases. For example the picture of the dog in 3:05 is to soft and blurry in my opinion. I currently own the Xiaomi 13 and have the same issue in some cicumstances.
