- Time for the ultimate Xiaomi 14 Ultra versus Pixel 8 Pro camera comparison to see which device is better at capturing photos and videos. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra definitely has the upper hand when it comes to overall hardware, but Google's computational photography on the Pixel 8 Pro may give it the upper hand in this matchup.

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.
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.
Almost always preferred the Xiaomi apart from selfie pictures and a few hdr situations. I don't understand the comments.
Over saturation and shit hdr on 14U at challenging situation that's what happening. Your personal taste doesn't make it better. Exceptions don't make the rule. Selfies look better on xiaomi tho.
@@Yash-jo1uiWeird take. Pixels are known for muted colors. It's pretty evident in its handling of lights especially at night. Orange or yellow lights aren't as orangy and yellowish as they should.
in most parts i like the pixel 8 pro photos and videos far better than the xiaomi 14 ultra
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.
Pixels algorithm is next level
I would love to see xiaomeme 14 Ultra with Gcam ❤
my thoughts exactly, gcam is gonna be a blast on 14 ultra!
Most of the situations it's Pixel 8 pro for me,
that Pixel software makes up a lot even without 1inch sensor
Yes, I agree with you. I feel bad for Xiaomi, they invested heavily in the hardware of the 14 Ultra, I would like to have those lenses and sensors in my phone, but they are a generation behind in the post-processing contest. I already have a point-and-shoot Canon G7X that does almost no post-processing, it's basically the same as the Xiaomi here.
Samsung, Google and Apple phones are much ahead in the software battle.
@@marvcar Xiaomi more realistic to the scene's lighting and shadows. Pixels even out the lighting so some parts aren't overblown or underexposed. Stylistically you can do more with Xiaomi but Pixels are unfortunately as it is. It's not about canera software being better than others. It's about philosophy of photography. But bigger sensor far better for much tougher conditions.
It's an oversharpening mess
The Pixel has artificial dynamic range, called HDR. Therefore pictures look computerised as with a lot of phones.
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?
that is why you have a shadow slider on the pixel
@@protoping I don't know how it is on on the newer Pixels, but on the older ones you have to tap to focus to activate it, which is not idea. I would prefer not to touch focus at all, as in my experience with Pixels, automatic focus seems to get everything sharper than manually focusing. Plus, those adjustment levers are tiny, and imprecise. From these examples it is evident that the camera raises shadows too much, Pixels hate shadows. It needs to be lowered in auto mode.
I think Pixel is closer to what our eyes see, it is closer to our perception in terms of shadows and highlights than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. It is a shame, because the hardware in the Xiaomi had a lot of potential
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.
Thanks to the author for taking into account the comments on the past comparison! 👍👍👍
Just sold my iPhone 15 Pro Max and got the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. No regrets
Do u have the chinese or global version?
@@wouter.d.h. Global

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
Vivo is up there, maybe even better. HDR really is their thing
I'd pick a Pixel phone for snapping photos over everything else, any day.
How I see - GP8Pro is full vinner.
Poxel does better overall.
Xiaomi does better in low-light due to it's bigger sensor.
14 Ultra performance is amazing. 👍
Daylight video on Xiaomi appears to be 1080p and not 4k
What's the background music though 🙏🏻, please do share
Shazam? Crazy Pacurka
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.
Xiaomi 14Ultra needs to fix overexpose and potrait mode issue.
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🙏
With the best charger, it takes 1 hour 50 minute.
@@debrup954 oh.that great to knowing,im happy🙏☺️.
Thank you so mũch🙏🙏☺️.
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!!
Xiaomi 14 Ultra momental best photo phone.
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.
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
Except for the selfie, Xiaomi all the way
In my opinion Pixel is good at selfies and ultra wide ....rest of the categories belongs to Xiaomi😃
Honor 90 is a midrange phone and it does record 4K back and front camera.
More telephoto shots please🙏
Why put such hideous music in the background. it a camera comparision video not a music video. the music completley ruins the video
Thanks
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
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.
UW pixel 8 pro
Uw, 5x and 1x pixel 8 pro wins
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✌️
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.
I wanted to like the xiaomi because of that awesome photography kit but the pixel really does look better most of the time
vivo x100 pro & pixel 8 pro its super
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
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 TH-camrs' 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
You're right from what I can see. I was surprised.
I agree pixel is better.
Pixel 3. In a walk.
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.. 😮
This time nights are for the Xiaomi. And if needed "Pixel effects" i guess we'd go for the GCam on Xiaomi too...😁
Waiting for Pixel 9 Pro smaller size.
The 14U still can't quite beat Pixel 8 Pro yet even though it has better hardware.
Good joke
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 .
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?
I use the Pixel 8 Pro as my daily driver since launch. No issues with battery life, even on a day line this, capturing over 100 photos and 20+ videos.
Pixel 8 pro is better, better HDR and selfies.
Pixel
xiaomi looks more canon/fuji cinematic, pixel is sharper, almost too sharp and harsh. pixel makes selfies look like you are 15yrs older
سيدي تقوم بعمل ممتاز دائما 💕👌🥰📸 كلا الجهازين لهم مواصفات قوية
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?
Professional photographers would prefer Xiaomi 14 ultra anyday
Je vote pour Google
I'll ultra... and good for the price.
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.. !!
Xiaomi is inconsistent, in some vidoes, it blows Samsung, Google and Apple out of the water, and others, it performs like this
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 is better as Xiaomi always overexposed.
@@jaimepaulgodinez2752 your opinion not mine, just sharing my opinion using the pixel 7 pro for nearly 1& half year and now the xiaomi 14 ultra
Pixel is King of HDR
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.
Let's say the AI of the pixel produces "better" photos but are they still your photos?
Typical pixel postprocessing style.
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.🤔
2:18 All the shadows are lifted on the Pixel, on the other hand Xiaomi is more natural, keeping the shadows.
Just install GCam 8.9 BSG and you ll see Pixel melt down
I like the Pixel better in this test..
It's an easy win for pixel.
Both are doing great but the Pixel is definitely ahead for realism and details
I'm sorry Xiaomi, but Pixel is still better 🙁
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
Xiaomi wins at the selfie camera, the highlights are smooth and shadows are nicely lifted up.
Overall, the pixel is much better.
Xiaomi even sucks in video too. Check 3:46.
Not true actually. Xiaomi aims for more natural light control. In that particular frame, on the left there is a darker area, so exposure is going to balance both. Without that dark area Xiaomi's highlight will give different results.
Do not need to see the comparison to know that the Pixel is better...
Bruh xD
@@MrGoro1990 and in a normal language ??
Well, you obviously didn't see how poorly the Pixel performed in low light.
Good joke.Ofc Xiaomi 14 Ultra is better
Hell naa.
Xiaomi literally killed Pixel 😂
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.
You're blind
What information did I share that was wrong?
Need that music info though 🙏🏻, (background music that is)
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.
