Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Honor Magic 6 Pro - Mega camera battle - New champ?

not sure what's wrong but every time I go out and want to do a camera comparison it's like a gloomy day and it looks like rain will fall uh just in a few seconds nevertheless I have today two of the best Flagship phones from honor and from xiaomi the xiaomi 14 Ultra against the honor magic 6 Pro so let's get [Applause] started look at that cloud seriously it's going to rain in a few minutes here we have those two bad boys the shami 14 Ultra against the honor magic 6 Pro and you will see that we are missing a sensor on the honor to compete against the xiaomi is that so we have a large T Zoom 180 megapixel kind of camera on the honor magic 6 Pro where we have two t Zoom cameras on the xiaomi 14 Ultra which is the 3.2 times T Zoom that also features macro capabilities and the five times Zoom here otherwise we have a main 1-in type sensor there on the xiaomi 14 Ultra that the honor magic 6 Pro doesn't have both feature however variable aeres xiaomi is a bit better because you get a little bit more from F1 Point what is it six or something like this iph 1.4 I think even to F4 where we only have like two difference uh f1.6 I think or f1.4 to and F2 on the honor magic 6 Pro I have to get my specs right but you will see it here on the spec sheet as well and of course we have some front-facing Shooters there as well 32 megapixels and 50 megapixels and I think we start off with the front-facing cameras uh front- facing video 4K 30 but we can also record 4K 60 on the xiaomi 14 Ultra and I was a little bit I think too fast on Twitter saying that the xiaomi 14 Ultra fixed the audio Buck but what I noticed that I still have it last time when I was checking out the 14 Ultra against the Vivo X100 Pro that there's still this bug there I'm using another microphone now lavalier microphone now attached to my blink 500 because I noticed that it's working a little bit better there with the sound quality and the compression or noise reduction that xiaomi does by the def fault so what do you think about this front-facing shooter here like I said it's a very gloomy day but there's a bit of sun I think maybe there in the background but you probably don't see it because HDR is not so good here on the front-facing camera of the xiaomi 14 Ultra otherwise stabilization should be fine when I'm walking around here and of course the colors should be fine as well I have to hold Timmy a little bit short because there are bicycles here usually so um yeah what do you think about the front-facing camera of the xiaomi 14 alra ra and this is now 4K 30 frames per seconds recording on the honor magic 6 Pro we have zoom levels one times and 0.8 times I like the 0.8 times because I don't have to stretch my hands out so far how about HDR I think maybe a little bit better than on the xiaomi 14 alra what do you think I see a little bit more there of the clouds uh in the background um yeah nevertheless this one here has also good stabilization I think how about colors here are they a little bit more Punchy than on the xiaomi 14 Ultra what do you think about the front-facing camera here on the honor magic 6 Pro 4K 30 frames per seconds here on the xiaomi 14 Ultra I think it is recording with F2 as the aperture here on this device and the 1-in type sensor so we get nice background blur what do you think about this one here and of course I'm recording 4K 30 I have the possibility to zoom out like I can go to the ultra wide angle there we go I have a button now for the ultra wide angle so I use the slider now because I map because I'm holding Timmy and he's like always on the run and uh yeah what do you think about the alra wide angle here 4K 30 frames per seconds I also can record 4K 60 frames per seconds and can switch between all lenses which is quite cool that the xiaomi 14 vanilla or pro model don't have so what do you think about the stabilization about the colors here on the xiaomi 14 Ultra now recording on the honor magic 6 Pro and I think this one here has also the the F2 as aperture by default when recording video because I see the aperture blades literally on the main camera sensor here so we have maybe a little bit less blurry background because we have a smaller Sensor One 1. 3 in size sensor which uh we have here and uh yeah what do you think about this one 4K 30 and 4K 60 frames per second I can switch between all lenses but I'm recording 4K 30 here I have a button to go out to the ultra wide angle so this is the ultra wide angle on the uh honor Magic 6 Pro so what do you think about this one here in terms of stabilization in terms of colors and also yeah colors look at the colors HDR maybe eventually as well uh colors usually they tend to be a bit over Punchy on the honor magic 6 Pro what do you think about the colors here on the honor magic 6 Pro also my face color look at this and compare it with the xiaomi 14 Ultra which one you think is better in terms of videos for vlogging so let's perform the zoom test here with the uh xiaomi 14 Ultra I go to 3.2 times Zoom by pressing a button you can see a slight uh switch of the lens and exposure change the same happens with the five time zoom and then I can go in uh 10 times if I want to I have even the possibility to go in further 15 times Zoom there we go stabilization is fine it's just Timmy pulling on the leash they can Timmy you can see 15 times Zoom one-handed now and uh yeah this is the the maximum Zoom that you can get and uh switching to one times you can see the animation again quite smooth isn't it yeah Timmy wanted to go down the stairs as you see and now the zoom test with the aom magic 6 Pro we have only 2.6 times Zoom there that we can switch to you can see that the switching here is much smoother than it was on the uh Magic 4 timate so we don't have like this uh exposure change that we had before and I can zoom in um this is now times and then I can go maximum 10 times here on the honor magic 6 Pro so what do you think about the quality here let's go back to one times this was like not an animation this 2.6 let's go again 10 times Timmy don't pull and now let's go back to one times was there an animation on screen I didn't see any animation what do you think about this one here front facing video let's compare this with each other what we can see here is almost the same kind of quality a bit more yellowish kind of face there and we go a bit further you will see it as well where it's a bit more natural looking on the xiaomi 14 Ultra when it comes to the Quality itself if you play it back you see we have a nice and sharp maybe a bit oversharpened on the xiaomi 14 Ultra you can see also a bit of noise creeping in from the sides already and overblown highlights in the background magic 6 Pro it's a bit softer there I like this a bit softer kind of look HDR however is um also not the best there we can also go like here where we can probably get like a little bit of HDR comparison as you can see here this one against this one I think the onor magic 6 pro has a slight Edge there in terms of HDR but nevertheless both are very very uh comparable and almost equal to each other when it comes to front-facing videos main camera video what we can see here immediately is a wider field of view on the xiaomi 14 alra we have again this more yellowish kind of face on the magic 6 Pro a bit more contrasty look on the xiaomi 14 Ultra the xiaomi 14 Ultra has a lot of oversharpening going on there is no noise but it is a little bit oversharpening my face I think and the magic 6 Pro looks a bit softer there and more pleasant to my eye I have to say and it's also a bit closer by as you can see there in terms of stabilization both are doing a fine job there also the uh xiaomi 14 Ultra is doing a fine job as you can see here and uh yeah both are pretty pretty good in that regard let's go and take a look at the ultra wide angle the ultra wide angle looks a bit oversharpened on the magic 6 Pro but when you zoom in you what you see is just the HDR looks a bit weird where the xiaomi 14 Ultra has like a consistent very consistent look the uh Magic 6 Pro you can see has this red or warmish yellowish kind of face problem there and when you go to the ultra wide angle it's changing the color slightly there as you can see it's much warmer here and there it's much cooler there um in terms of HDR both doing a fine job when it comes to stabilization and so on I think also both doing a fine job there's a bit of noise going on that you can see here on the ultra wide angle of the xiaomi 14 Ultra that you don't get so much on the magic 6 Pro because everything is a little bit smoother there also I think the stabilization might be tiny bit better on the magic 6 Pro in comparison to the Shi 14 Ultra but this is like nitpicking in terms of video they are very very close together here let's check out the zoom and here first of all when we are outside there you can see like this is I think Ultra wide angle one times um much more contrasty look again much more warmer look on the magic 6 Pro less contrasty look when we zoom in and you see second there's I think the switch is important there on the shiai 14 Ultra you see how that for a second slit second there was a blue kind of screen we don't have this we don't get this on the magic 6 Pro so when you zoom in on the magic 6 Pro you can see it has a change of exposure so basically the shiai 14 Ultra I think you see is very very close but it maybe gets a little bit tiny bit warmer there so very weird but yeah but this one is a huge jump from the magic 6 Pro from this color that we have here to the totally bluish kind of color you can see the color shift there tremendously also the colors are wrong on the magic 6 Pro is like the sun coming from the left side so yeah it should be like on those gymy sun and here yeah just ignore the Timmy stabilization test there but the xiaomi 14 Ultra is not getting only yeah closer there but also more noise free where the magic 6 pro has way more noise there so I think this is a win for the xiaomi 14 Alo when it comes to the zoom capabilities let's take a look at the photos on the left over is the xiaomi 14 Ultra on the right over is the magic 6 Pro we start off with action shots both feature an action mode that you can activate in the normal photo mode there's a little uh runner icon there if you press it they are going into their action modes for yeah fast moving objects like my dark here in the woods jumping all over around there I noticed that of course they have some issues just like also with kids and and other pets um with getting the shots sharp especially too fast running the magic 6 Pro sometimes has an edge there might be dep of field sometimes because the F number is a bit higher there but also has some issues like overexposing the fur of my dog always like in other shots there as well you can see that we have this for it's not 100% sharp here is also not 100% sharp but it's over always a little bit Overexposed there and also in this case um it's a bit brighter of a picture in General on the magic 6 Pro but it's also overexposing Timmy's fur there that you don't have so much on the shami 14 alra and by the way this was taken here with the 3.2 times versus 2.4 five times and you can see this nice blurry background that we have here uh there's also a bit of blurry background here on the magic 6 Pro um but I think it looks a bit ni on the magic 14 maybe because the exposure is a bit lowered or the B is a bit more there the the 3D kind of view is a bit better than here the more static kind of shot let's take a look at macro shots quite interesting because the xiaomi 14 Ultra has basically three macro lenses you can use the ultra wide angle you can use the 3.2 times and you can use the five times here I will compare the um 3.2 times versus 2.5 times 2.5 times is not really true macro on the magic 6 Pro 30 cm is the minimum Focus distance so this is what you get there it's quite good of a shot you get nice BR background and okayish kind of details but it doesn't compete with the xiaomi 14 Ultra for sure when it comes to this kind of macro shot even if you go with magic 6 Pro to a bit closer at 2.5 times it will switch then to the main camera sensor you can see it here with the fop number because the other one is f2.4 is the real one for the uh autom Magic 6 Pro and you can see it changes slightly the detail level is a bit improved B is also more visible there for sure but also the contrast is um less so it's changing a little bit stuff there if you go directly to the one time lens which has uh one which has 10 cm focusing distance you get this kind of shot you see it's a bit different kind of perspective detail level is a bit better but I think a bit over over sharpened there and maybe not as good as the xiaomi 14 Ultra let's check out another shot here this is 2.5 times Zoom again against 3.2 times again the shami 14 Ultra has a better one 3.2 times versus uh this is now the 27 mm the main camera sensor at um 10 cm distance and you can see it was raining there it's another day and yeah bit bit of sharpening artifacts there color-wise I think a bit more orangey than the more yellowish here on the xiaomi 14 Ultra where the ultra is a bit more right you can see that we have slight vignetting because the magic 6 Pro was set to authentic mode it Ela has now an authentic mode imitates a little bit the like authentic look so I wanted to have them side by side so you can take a look at this as well I can also use the um 68 mm but it's not using utilizing the uh 2.5 * Zoom as you can see from the F stop number it's utilizing the onetime lens it's just like a little bit further away you get a bit more Boker and it's simulating more what the xiaomi 14 Ultra is doing here again more orangey more yellowish then we can even get closer this is now super macro mode or am I lying yeah this is super macro mode um if you go to super macro mode you can see it's using the main camera sensor again but you can get quite a bit closer to your um object and you get this kind of fantastic kind of details that um yeah you don't get with the xiaomi 14 Ultra what the shiai 14 Ultra however as you see here this is Boke kind it's like an yeah kind of focus stacking I think they are doing here where it is using I think the main camera sensor plus a 3.2 times to get everything more in Focus um this in theory on dslm works like this that it's like creating three or four shots or more shots and then intellig computational photography is helping in stitching those or stacking those shots together so you get your whole object in Focus this is for example very useful for insects or other very small objects like flowers what the Shi 14 Ultra does I don't think it does this Focus decking with one lens I think it is utilizing and you can see it here with the 75 mm f1.8 think it might be us utilizing the ultra wide angle or the main camera sense I think more the ultra wide angle to get this to to fake it a little bit so it's not a true focus stacking you can clearly see it here with the leaves for example they appear nice and sharp and like a 3D kind of view and if I go to the focus stacked version they have some weird kind of thing going on there like artifacts from as if it would stitch together from two different lenses there to make it appear a bit sharper also there's no detail more details here in this autof Focus area as you can see here in comparison to here so it didn't add more details here like I would expect from Focus decking so it's nice that they added such a function there that might help if you don't want this blurry backround with a 3.2 time zoom but it's not very useful for this kind of shots nevertheless I think they're basically on par when it comes to the ultra wide angle not Ultra wide when it comes to the macro shots the ultra wide angle on the magic 6 Pro doesn't need to be used there for the microphotography because the main camera sensor is not so large you can use the main camera sensor which is quite nice and on the shomi 14 Ultra I think the best shots you get with a 3.2 times zoom and then without this F fake Focus scking but with this shot here nice blay background looks very aesthetically breing and I can get even closer like I said 120 mm five times is also possible of course and you can use you can see it's not always using it's using f1.8 I think I think the five times has F 2.5 or something like this and not f1.8 so it's using also utilizing if you're too close the 3.2 times but the five times also has I think some kind of macro capability but I was not able to trigger it here but you can see very very similar this is what I wanted to show you Focus fall off a little bit bit more here on the 14 Ultra but uh in general very very similar very basically same points in terms of macrophotography also here another shot that shows that the magic 6 Pro can sometimes misfire here but if I force five time zoom for example and it is nice and sharp and it's using the um 2.5 time zoom lens here and both basically also in the uh this is now this shot has been done now in the natural mode not in the uh authentic mode on the magic 6 Pro let's compare the main camera sensor quite interesting this photo I tapped on the same spot that was here and you can see there is some yeah leaves there some kind of um branches there in the foreground and for some reason I think they chose a different kind of focus point there I think the shami 4 alra was focusing on this in the foreground where the magic 6 Pro focused on the background this is unfortunate but this is how it is and the interesting part here is that you see tons of sharpening ended on the magic 6 Pro you can see these wide lines around the bridge and around those and cooler kind of colors in general where the xiaomi 14 Ultra seems to be a bit more warmer uh colors of course the colors we have to talk about the colors the xiaomi 14 Ultra with like authentic the magic 6 Pro with its authentic mode vignetting it's a bit um more visible on the magic 6 Pro there so that's vetting that they add there for the authentic mode and we see much more Punchy colors here not only on the tree but also in the green grass and here's the thing you can see the magic 6 Pros being unsharp here because it was focusing really on the background where here it is a hell lot sharper on the shami 14 alra where I think it focused on the foreground you can also see it here with those branches there that are more in Focus here on the 14 but the color difference is what I wanted to show you so the colors are much more Punchy on the magic 6 Pro in this authentic mode where I would say authentic mode should be more authentic not so colorful there in this case because it looks like a completely different day on the magic 6 Pro it was a very gloomy day very rainy day actually started to rain right afterwards uh and you don't see it so much on the magic 6 Pro another shot where you can also see that this authentic mode on the magic 6 Pro is adding tons of vignetting and has this Punchy and very contrasty kind of look look at the Chimes and the detail level there it appears to be more details just because the magic 6 Pro is raising the contrast here enormously and also sharpening things up but actually there is not more detail on the magic 6 Pro and I would just say yeah the xiaomi 14 Ultra is a bit better there in this regard but even if you give this point to the magic 6 Pro because you say it has more detail even it's a bit darker there I look at this same now like authentic versus authentic mode on the honor and again not much of a difference Al in terms of contrast very very similar we was shooting against I was shooting against the sun there and the only difference you will notice is again here on the side that we have a bit of oversharpening going on you can see a bit more detail levels here on the magic 6 Pro but it's oversharpened you can see the artifacts here of this oversharpening especially also there the colors are again a bit too Punchy in mind taste and when we take another shot here in Pro mode both with the widest aperture that you can open up I think f1.6 on the uh f1.4 it says on the magic 6 Pro sorry and f1.6 on the shiai 14 alra but the xiaomi 14 Ultra has the larger sensor 1in sensor with one over 1.3 in size sensor where we can see here the bulk is much more busier you can see the oversharpening artifacts on the magic 6 Pro uh sharpness fall off here I think the sharpness point or sharpening point the auto focus point was somewhere here magic for shami 14 Ultra as well you can see this is still a bit sharper there but here you have also the same issues set there on the lens but the Boke is much much smoother there and uh we have uh now authentic mode again on both where it appears to be more vignetting or on the xiaomi 14 Ultra instead of the magic 6 Pro The Punchy colors you can see here as well again this is not this bright yellow that the magic 6 Pro made it out to it's more like this orangey kind of color that we have there the Linux tux penguin and then another HDR kind of test where we can see we have on the shomi 14 Ultra a little bit of brighter picture there more bluish here which is wrong actually the color is not so bluish it's a reflection of the sky where I think the magic 6 Pro does it a bit more right because it's more dark here um and I think both have a good HDR it's maybe slightly Overexposed on the 14 Ultra but I think it's just simply a bit darker on the magic 6 Pro and looking at the bokeh again a lot busier than on the shiai 14 Ultra that has Ultra smooth Boker so in general alone Boker alone the the f- stop numbers that you can switch that allow you a little more flexibility here I would give a slight slight ledge to the xiaomi 14 Ultra there over the magic 6 Pro major point for me is the colors that uh no matter if I'm going into original mode or I going to authentic mode it is just too fakey Punchy on the magic 6 Pro and yes I know on the magic 5 Pro I was still saying it's okay but nowadays I would say everyone the is going into more authentic kind of images and I don't like this too Punchy kind of images on the magic 6 Pro anymore the real more authentic look I have definitely on the shomi 14 Ultra and the magic 6 Pro I think still needs a bit of fine-tuning there in the color department and maybe also contrast department so this is a win for me for the xiaomi 14 Ultra Ultra wide angle this is the authent this is the natural mode on the magic 6 Pro actually you can see no vignetting there against the Leica authentic on the shomi 14 Ultra why like authentic mode on the xiaomi 14 Ultra because Vivid mode wouldn't make any sense and I think the magic 6 BR best colors you will get in the original mode there and it's a bit brighter for sure the edges you can see they're getting unsharp both and detail levels you can see again especially when you go down here a bit oversharpened on the magic 6 Pro a bit too contrasty on my take uh taste on the shomi 14 Ultra when you go to the next shot here again uh we didn't see it in the woods so much but here you see that we have a slightly wider field of view on the shiai 14 Ultra 12 mm versus the 30 mm on the magic 6 Pro uh this is now again original or natural versus uh the xiaomi 14 Ultras like authentic mode again I think more Punchy colors on the slightly more Punchy on the magic 6 Pro where the xiaomi 14 Ultra has it keeps it more real there we see again more sharpening you can see the artifacts of the sharpening here in the fence that we don't have so much here so appears to be more details but there actually oversharpening a bit on the magic 6 Pro but that's basically it what I can tell you in terms of differences maybe there's a difference slight difference in the color colors like this a bit more cooler this a bit more warmer but this is like neglectable you can see the sharpening applied heavily on the magic 6 Pro there towards the side both fall off get soft for sure as you see here and that's it basically for the ultra wide angle this is another Ultra wide angle original uh on the magic 6 Pro and like authentic on the Shi 14 Ultra you can see much darker much more contrasty on the 14 Ultra not so to my taste towards the side both get a little bit softer there I cannot really Crown a winner here because it is basically on par it's like slight differences in colors and rendition for sure when you have differences there slight differences in sharpness how much sharpening applied the xiaomi is always like a little bit more a little bit less aggressive the magic expl a bit more aggressive in terms of tuning and sharpening things up there but in general I would say Ultra wide angle the same Zoom shots again magic 6 Pro in its original colors and XI 14 Ultra in its um authentic colors like authentic colors Zoom shorts this is interesting because we have 75 versus 68 mm so we have 3.2 versus 2.5 why is it 2.5 so close to the 14 Ultra 75 3.2 times Zoom because the 2.5 are a crop from 27 or not a crop calculated from 27 as a base 27 mm as a base and then it's 68 where the Shi 4 Al I think is going for 24 mm as a base so again a bit brighter on the magic 6 Pro a bit more sharpened up you can see it here on the tree in the background there a bit of model sharpening artifacts um basically the same not much of a different there let's zoom in a bit further this is now five times which is a dedicated mode on the magic 6 Pro and you have to zoom in manually on the shiai 14 Ultra both by the way different ISO as you can see here because the f- stop number is slightly lower on the magic 6 Pro uh and also we have not only higher eyeso we have also lower shutter speed on the magic 6 Pro interesting and when we zoom in detail levels we can read everything which is nice I think you can see already a bit of the processing there on the magic 6 Pro going on especially with the Tex there where you don't have it so much the processing there on the shomi 14 Ultra basically the same bit more aggressive in terms of sharpening there now 10 times zoom and again more contrasty look on the shomi 14 alra I think 10 times looks much better than 5 times on the shomi 14 Ultra so they're more optimized for this but it looks a bit worse on the magic 6 Pro I think because it's not so much optimized for for 10 times um when you take a look at this here you can also see that the magic 6 Pro is struggling already with its processing at 10 times I would say look at the time there 10 uh 20 to8 which is very good readable on the xiaomi 14 alra keep in mind it has a dedicated five times zoom lens so it's much easier there and 12 to 15 is also it's readable on the shiai 14 Ultra here not really on the magic 6 Pro anymore and then we can go in and this is I think now 30 times zoom and if I go in here you can see a little bit blotchiness a little bit like softness going on and again magic 6 pro has the detail actually and it is readable now the 12 to 15 but what happened to the UN here which is U and d and here it's harder to read so it's reconstruction of the text is a bit harder and look at the time and the watch it's not around anymore on the magic 6 Pro because the Reconstruction failed a little bit so it is getting to yeah to to to points where you have is issues and difficulties the shami 14 Ultra is working very nice with its AI Zoom so yes I would say five times maybe up to 10 times they are on par roughly with a slight Edge to the Shi 14 Ultra especially at five times but beyond that it's a clear win for the shami 14 Ultra though we have to say that at 30 times the xiaomi 14 Ultra has this AI Zoom feature that kicks in for the magic 6 pro has I think from from already five times on the AI magic is kicking in there and you cannot even turn it off another shot here just with text to see uh the difference there where you can see this is now with the five times where I think the magic 6 Pro is optimized for because it has a dedicated button there for the five times you can see it's sharper uh more detailed especially at the edge for example the detail on the the rust and and all the other little points that you see there is much more detailed there which is quite interesting because we have on the xiaomi 14 Ultra with f 2.5 a dedicated five times zoom lens so it's quite interesting that the magic 6 Pro can compete there but you can also see that it's doing computational photography to sharpen things up you can see around the text always like a slide white line that is like a sharpening indicator that you don't have so much on the shomi 14 Ultra because it doesn't have to uh simply as it and when you zoom into 10 times basically the same and get War more colors again on the Shi 14 Ultra and here I think you can clearly see that this is not competible the magic 6 Pro cannot compete then against the Shi 14 Ultra the 14 Ultra looks much better in this regard look at this so you can see the white lines around which they are not there it's just the magic 6 Pro is adding them to sharpen things up a little bit and the xiaomi 14 Ultra doesn't have to so yes xiaomi 14 Ultra I think is the winner in terms of Zoom also when we go further and zoom in both readable here this is like this uh kind of construction crane that we have there and I was photographing with I don't even know what was it 30 times 50 times 720 720 divided by 24 30 times Zoom AI Zoom kicking in on the shami 14 Ultra helping tremendously with readability here and the magic 6 Pro yeah it's a pixel Fest on the magic 6 Pro so yeah it's definitely a win there for the shomi 14 Ultra but it's not if you don't zoom in it's not by far you can see already it's a bit over worser image on the magic 6 Pro and a bit Yeah more realistic looking image on the shiai 14 ultra um if you don't Zoom too much you could say maybe it's an optical zoom where here you can clearly see okay it's some kind of digital um trickery that it's going on the magic 6 Pro look at this uh what is it actually some kind of screws probably that show much more details there on the xiaomi 14 Ultra so yeah it's definitely the zoom is definitely a win for the shiai 14 Ultra in this regard um magic 6 pro has this large pixels and so on but it cannot compete there in that regard so the zoom is definitely something where the shomi 14 Ultra shines in this case the magic 6 Pro is just lacking another T lens I think 180 megapixels is nice but I think they could have ended up with um a setup rather a setup that is similar to what the opo fex 7 Ultra is doing so adding another six times Zoom or another five times zoom in their case or even 4 point something Zoom T zoom lens in their case would help enormously with long Zoom shots so the magic 6 Pro is like more to tweaked and tuned towards like up to yeah five six seven eight maybe times even 10 times I think the Shi 14 Ultra just simply wins from from there on and this is why the T Zoom or zoom capabilities are better on the Shi 14 Ultra what do you think portraits the Shi 14 Ultra as you can see here like a master and the master portrait modes I used the master portrait mode here you can see much much warmer than the magic 6 Pro this is two times zoom on both in portrait mode as you can see here so it's a bit closer on the magic 6 pro magic 6 Pro using the uh natural colors this is what you will get way too contrasty in my opinion way too flat looking way too ill looking in comparison to the shiai 14 Ultra which is I think maybe a bit too warm looking there for sure in terms of detail levels yeah both uses fake eyebrow but looks a bit more natural on the xiaomi 14 Ultra than here on the magic 6 Pro which is like yeah wrong there magic 6 Pro you can also switch to authentic mode which gives you this kind of look which is quite nice and this is now also two times Zoom as you can see here and when you compare this one you can see it is getting a little bit better there maybe also with the face color and so on more natural going but it's a bit too dark still the exposure there let's go to the dedicated one H this is by the way this is also 5 for this is uh the Vivid mode which is also not very good in my opinion uh now let's switch to the dedicated one 75 versus 68 so 2 and a half versus 3.2 times Zoom I think it's doing a bit better on the magic 6 Pro I sticked to the um the Vivid one because the Vivid one gives me a little bit better face color you see natural one totally white face and uh when you take a look at here you can clearly see that the 6 Pro looks a bit sharper than the xiaomi 14 Ultra in this regard this is where the xiaomi 14 Ultra has a bit Yeah of this softness going on there that hopefully they can improve in the future the magic 6 Pro so a little bit sharper there uh which one you like I think I have to prepare the prefer the magic 6 Pro there a little bit better and not sure what's going on there in the background if you hear it my daughter playing with my wife uh anyway you can see sharpness also on my hair much better there and yeah they're both awful portrait I know I know I know then we have magic 6 Pro can also do five times portrait with the xiaomi 14 Ultra I have to rely on the five times zoom and natural Boker and here you can see it's also quite soft there where the uh Magic 6 Pro is much sharper than the magic 6 Pro you can see the sharpness is like um artificially added there uh to it so it's redrawing everything there a little bit and um now which one do you prefer I think yeah the sharpener sharper look is definitely on the magic 6 Pro in that regard but the more yeah camera like look I get on the shiai 14 Ultra for sure and uh yeah front facing camera also has a portrait mode there this is the oops this is the shiai 14 Ultras front facing camera you can see a lot of noise 32 megapixels and this is the magic 6 Pro I think the magic 6 pro is beating easily the shomi 14 Ultra not in terms of face color because face color is more natural on the 14 Ultra where get bit too warm green looking on the magic 6 Pro in this regard uh so just like here was too warm uh this one is fine by the way here this face color I think which is to contrast too much this one I think I like the colors B where this one I like the sharpness definitely more and lots of noise there on the shomi fortune Ultra so the front- facing one goes to the magic 6 pro Night video mode now with the xiaomi 14 Ultra this one has a variable aperture so f1.6 free I think and a runin type sensor the new litia or liia or liia 900 which is uh definitely very very good I'm using the internal mics as always as you can see I'm standing right walking towards the light standing right under the light right now and now I'm walking towards uh uh the darkness with the light in the background how well is stabilization here on the xiaomi 14 Ultra what do you think about this one here and uh I'm using of course the internal mics so yeah you'll be the judge on the internal mics and how well they sound I'm to leaning turning towards the light and I'm in the dark now how is it working what do you think about this one here and also keep the stabilization in mind and the colors and do we see any flickering uh what do you think about the xiaomi 14 Ultra here in this night situation this is our recording with the honor magic 6 pro at nighttime we have also a night video mode here which is also recording 4K 24 frames per seconds we have a smaller sensor here 1 1.13 101.1 1 1.28 in size sensor with aperture F 1.4 and F2 and this one is going probably to f1.4 to open it nice and wide here and uh yeah this is what you will get here with me standing under the light right now and the car driving internal mics what do you think about this one with the light in the background how stabilization here how colors and yeah what do you think about the autom magic 6 Pro now I'm standing in the dark turning towards the light what do you think about this one here keep in mind I'm using the internal mics so think about this as well and yeah the main camera sensor here the only one that you can really use in these dark conditions what do you think about this one here nighttime photos XI 14 Ultra and Magic 6 Pro have the capability to shoot the moon this is a very large exposure as you can see here we have like what is it 100 times Zoom uh something like this uh so we have 60 times zoom on both here uh roughly and you can see the magic 6 pro has a bit more details than the xiaomi 14 Ultra but we both know that it's fake it's a fake Moon so let's take a look at the main camera sensor here the XI 14 Ultra for most of the pictures in like authentic the magic 6 Pro for most of its pictures also in its authentic mode which is quite nice so let's check them out let's check out the middle here I think we have a slightly overexposure on the xiaomi 14 Ultra where the magic 6 Pro um keeps the exposure a bit better you can see that the fuel station is turned off for some reason they they did not want to work on this day at the Green Glass we can see a bit more details there on the shami 14 Ultra for sure where this is like on the magic 6 Pro completely a blob there and so detail Lev is better even though it's like less sharp there on the shomi 14 Ultra the detail level is much better on the 14 Ultra look at the bush there completely dark here it's a bit Overexposed yes we we are the we have we using the authentic mode um after all so that's the point there Street as well you can see how much softer the details are there so the 14 Ultra has definitely better main camera here than the magic 6 Pro you can see it here at nighttime for sure when then we zooming in this is like 75 versus 68 so they're T zoom lenses the native ones you can see a bit more warmish colors on the magic 64 cooler colors definitely on the Shi 14 Ultra which is quite interesting because I think the 14 Ultra is overdoing it there with the coolish kind of colors there and I think also that the magic 64 looks a bit better here at night which is quite interesting when we zoom in a bit further however shomi 14 Ultra with its five times Zoom versus the five times Zoom the magic 6 Pro you can see that the 14 Ultra keeps it's cooler kind of color in authentic mode and I think it might even not switch to the uh five times Zoom there but in terms of detail levels you can also see there is more detail on the magic 6 Pro quite interesting so I took another shot this is now 10 times zoom and this one is much much better you can see the color is much better this is 10 times zo as well on the magic 6 Pro because now I think it switched over to the five times zoom lens on the shomi 14 alra you can see the f2.5 maybe it had had it before but it's way way better there with the exposure but when you zoom in you can see how much noise there is so the noise level on the magic 6 Pro is definitely kept better even though it's like heavily edited there for sure so something that sh me has to work on is this uh possibility you can see here also overexposure you can see you can read it here on the magic 6 Pro so the magic 6 pro has definitely there an advantage uh for sure this is now even further this is 720 times 720 is like 30 times Zoom there and uh yeah which one is better there I think the colors on the magic 6 Pro are much more natural there in this regard and uh yeah the magic 6 Pro definitely has better kind of uh processing there for the night mode for sure not very interesting front-facing cameras I think a bit slightly overexposure maybe on the magic exp looks like a flash turned on because there's actually the the the display turning on as flash you can also see that we're a bit closer down with the4 ultra and when we go into the detail levels um I think it's doing better with the noise there but um yeah more details for sure on the magic 6 Pro uh the Boker balls are very delicious on the 14 Ultra much better than on the magic 6 Pro but nevertheless the magic 6 pro has way better so cam look Shar even it's like smoothing in skin redrawing stuff but it's just more details there and uh I prefer the magic 6 Pro a bit better even though yeah the XI 14 Ultra looks a bit more AR artistic with this B balls let's take a look at this uh wide angle shot super wide angle shot Ultra wide angle shot actually I compare this with each other you can see basically identical not much of a difference there more edited on the magic 64 a bit more noisy here a tad wider on the um sh me 14 Ultra both towards the side getting a bit softer there for sure and what about the overexposure here I think the sh me handles a bit worse there HDR but detail levels are a bit worse on the magic 6 Pro because this one the shami for Keeps a bit more Noy in there identical I don't see much of a difference there to be honest another shot here with uh the ultra wide angle to see if we see much of a difference there can see much brighter on the magic 6 Pro but also much softer there look at the detail levels there look at the sides there much more heavily processed on the magic 6 Pro but I don't see much of a difference between them I have to be completely honest there uh another shot here with the zoom camera this is five times versus five times just wanted to check out because we didn't have five times before on the XI 14 Ultra I think make sure that both are utilizing their best and let's take a look at the detail levels there you can see both are pretty fine there with the detail levels of the little text there more edited more heavily edited on the magic 6 Pro this is why I would give the wind here to the shiai 14 Ultra and when we take a look at this is like I think 10 times no over 10 times this is like uh 720 is like uh 30 times Zoom 30 times Zoom again more processed looking on the magic Pro and I think the magic 6 Pro is winning there in the nighttime zoom level and the same goes for this one which is quite interesting so I was zooming in this like on the other side of the street this is the sign there we're zooming in here with the magic 6 Pro and this is like 1,350 mm which is like divided by 27 50 times Zoom there on the magic 6 Pro and then on shiai 14 Ultra you can see the magic 6 Pro more heavily edited but better looking there than the Shi 14 Ultra for sure which is quite interesting there so yeah this is quite interesting that the magic Expo is doing a bit better there in in low light Zoom than the shiai 14 Ultra so shiai still has to work on this but here you can see like how fake the text looks like it's also not good it's both are not very good at this one this is a very interesting shot because it's the night mode I forced the night mode turn on all the other ones were automatic this is night mode turn on this is authentic on the XI 14 Ultra look at this in compara with the magic 6 pro magic 6 Pro looks well more exposed better exposed better details than the background when I switch to like a vibrant however this is what I will get on the Shi 14 Ultra and I think I should have used like a vibrant for this comparison because it's much much better has a bit more noise in there definitely for sure again against the magic 6 Pro for sure but overall look at the levels detail levels basically on par there now the main camera a bit maybe too warmish here on the magic 6 Pro look at the uh there I think the HDR isit working a bit better than the 14 Ultra which is quite interesting you can see more of the windows there where he is overblown and yeah a bit over processed looking there for sure as well on the magic 6 Pro and then another Ultra wide angle indoors this is again like a vibrant on the 14 Ultra and with artificial lighting as you can see there and do we see much of a difference there between the ultra white angles I don't think so ultra white angles I think are nearly identical even though we have a bit of wider on the 14 Ultra bit head warmer there maybe a bit sharper there it is it is what it is it's very very close a bit more noisy here on the 14 Ultra bit more processed looking on the magic 6 Pro with a bit less noise there but I would give them basically The Identical points there when it comes to uh the um nighttime there so yeah the magic 6 Pro redeems it a little bit with the nighttime shots with better processing that the shami 14 alra lacks at least in like authentic mode uh but overall I think the winner would be still the shami 14 Aro with the better main cam Zoom cams are with the mix back at at night at day it's definitely the shami 14 Ultra taking it there and the magic 6 Pro Ultra white angle is identical to the shami 14 ultra white angle there in this regard at Knight at least so what do you think let's come to the ranking and conclusion tldr the automaic 6 Pro gets 4.45 points where the shiai 14 Ultra is the winner here in this comparison with 4.4 75 points where are the big differences main camera photo quality is a bit better on the xiaomi 14 Alto you can see it at daylight maybe not so much but at night time you can see a bit more details here and there the variable aperture that has more apertures to choose from is also very very handy uh in comparison to the autom magic 6 Pro the autom magic 6 Pro sometimes get the colors wrong a bit looks a bit overprocessed there sometimes a bit too Punchy with the xiaomi 14 Ultra can produce more natural photos for sure as well Ultra wide angle is basically identical in day and in night where it was a bit harder was zoom camera photo quality here I see the xiaomi 14 Ultra overall a tiny bit better than the automic 6 Pro still especially in daylight where I think the shiai 14 Ultra works best also with the AI Zoom when you go further Beyond in this very very r L uh very very detailed kind of zooms like large Zoom levels 30 times and so on the xiaomi 14 Ultra is killing it there the automaic 64 despite having a very large sensor and lots of megapixels there is not winning against the xiaomi 14 Ultra at least at daylight so much at nighttime it is obla the XI 14 Ultra with less noise for sure on the automaic 6 Pro better processing there that helps tremendously sometimes a bit artificial looking but there it redeems it s this is why it's getting 4.4 points here and not 4.2 or 4.1 points there U but it's very close but in the end I think the shomi 14 Ultra also in terms of portrait modes I think it it's a bit even though it's not the best with a bit too yellowish kind of Tins in portraits overall and bit soft there as well I think we can see a bit of more improvements there in portrait modes for sure on the shami 14 Ultra as well as some processing there at night especially with the shami 14 Ultra this is why I would say it could get has a potential for more there the zoom camera photoal it's not doing the it's best there but the aoic 6 Pro is beaten there for sure video recording quality is slightly bit better on the xiaomi 14 Ultra especially the ultra wide angle like bit more more on the shomi 14 Ultra even though it might be a bit noisier there and the stabilization is not 100% there on the ultra wide angle for example but especially when it comes to the zoom camera photo quality uh video quality it's better on the xiaomi 14 Ultra if you have to zoom in um it's just a bit better there even though we have this Color Shifter I think we get the better quality when we have to zoom in a little bit especially in concert for example if you have to zoom in a little bit more there in video mode it makes makes a lot of sense to have the better quality there for sure on the 14 Ultra it's dedicated five times zoom lens autofocus performance basically identical no issues there with both they're very quick they don't have any issues when it comes to the autofocus performance there they're not 100 it's not like a son xeria which is like totally U the best when it comes to the the autofocus performance there so sometimes they have the possibility to misfocus there focusing on the background especially if you're not using the main camera sensor but another sensor there but um wheny situations taking a shot macro like shot with the tele camera for example can be a challenge but they're identical in this regard so is why both get 4.5 points front camera however is a big win for the magic 6 Pro we cannot argue about it even at night time it's looking a bit artificial for sure the detail level is much better there and it's the HDR is much better there as well the B balls I like better on the look more artistic on the 14 Ultra but overall it's it's what it is the automaic 6 Pro also with autofocus you get the better shot there for sure camera you ey I like a bit better on the shomi 14 Ultra we have a little bit of those little features that are working a little bit better like for examp if I have a timer set up you can see that that I have a timer set up because it's like uh showing me a symbol with 5 Seconds 3 seconds 10 seconds whatever I've set as a timer uh on the UI and I can just press this second symbol to disable the timer which is also a very quick way to disable it I don't see that at all on the magic 6 Pro I have also a quick toggle to go and set up the timer which is quite nice but for example I don't know that I have a timer set and sometimes I just press the button miss the moment because it timer is turning on and again I can press the shadow button again to take the shot immediately but nevertheless it is um what it is these little things uh I would give to the xiaomi 14 Ultra same goes for extra features we have a little bit more there on the xiaomi 14 Ultra as well like for example the focus peing is there possibility to set up like on tune your audio where your audio source is coming from such things um which is quite nice there as well such things the autom magic 6 Pro is lacking so this is what we get there let's take a look at the overall Rank and yeah I have a ranking list there now with ranking names so numbers I mean and the shy4 alra gets the third place together with the Oppo FX 6 Pro so they have the same points there let's check them compare them um same main camera photo quality this is quite interesting because the Oppo has the old 1-in sensor the Oppo has definitely the better autra wide angle outra wide angle is the best on the market right now on the Oppo fin6 Pro for sure zoom camera photo quality however is better on the xiaomi 14 Ultra video recording quality is quite interesting they're very similar in terms of video recording quality uh I think the Shi 14 Alro can improve there a little bit so has potential there for improvements the autof Focus performance is identical front camera is better on the op fix6 Pro which is quite interesting there and the camera UI is better on the xiaomi for sure as well as the extra features that we have on the camera application and all everything else that has something to do with the camera there the automatic 6 pro has 4.7 points there as you can see on the main camera photo quality it's a bit better than the mate 60 Pro and it is uh yeah a bit worse when it comes to ultra wide angle a bit better with zoom camera a lot better zoom camera photo quality and video quality a bit worse uh autof Focus performance the same front camera performance the same which is very very good front camera performance by the way camera UI a bit worse on the mate 60 Pro and a bit worse on the extra features there the mate 60 pro has a bit more extra features like the possibility High microphone recording quality with the um Bluetooth headsets or nanom memory uh recording which is also nice and uh yeah in general you can see the MX 6 pro is beating the xiaomi 14 for sure um as we saw before beting the iPhone 15 Pro Max the p60 pro the 13 Ultra uh the p50 pro and the xeria 1 Mark 5 so those are the top 10 there and uh you can see it is amongst the best currently so if you have the choice between the xiaomi 14 Ultra which costs um I think till to date I think 1,400 something EUR and the automatic 6 Pro which is available currently not the retail price but I think we have still €300 off like 4,000 and of course price you can see the price difference is not covering the differences that we see here that is is simply neglectable so yeah you get one of the best camera smartphones on the market when you choose the magic 6 Pro as well and also the xiaomi 14 Ultra with both having potentials to get a little bit better quality the automa 6 Pro with their colors Renditions not so Punchy colors the main camera can get maybe to 4.8 points it has a lot of potential there for sure but the most potential that they really really lack of is the zoom camera photo quality there for sure and the video recording quality that can be a bit better for sure all depending on the zoom camera uh and the performance of this one if they get this right then the autom magic 6 Pro can climb the ranks and almost the same goes for the xiaomi 14 alra that can definitely maybe not the ultra wide angle but the zoom can be improved there as well the video recording quality in my opinion can be improved um there as well zoom camera photo quality can be improved by just getting the night shots right so we have 4.6 points there already if they get the night shots right or more right there if they get the hdr on the front cam bit better there then we can climb here 4.2 point and then it gets like over the Oppo fx6 Pro I think and um yeah so it has a lot of potential on the xiaomi 14 Ultra but they have to fix their software a little bit and I'm still waiting for an update for the xiaomi 14 Ultra 2 allegedly fixing HDR a little bit with the front Cam and the zoom camera photo quality gets a bit better because the tel cams have a bit of sharper better rendition and processing when it comes to the portrait shots so yeah it has a lot of potential both have a lot of potential and I'm waiting for fixes for them to arrive to fix most of the issues and then they will climb the ranks pretty sure and will beat the Oppo finding 6 pro at one point I'm pretty sure and then they come into territory where we have second place which is the VX Pro and the O fining 7 alra which are currently the top leaders on my scoring board here what do you think about this results write it down in the comment section that's it until the next time bye
