Damn
A hard work will always pay off! Thanks for making it for us 👌
Well.. whatever topic you’re on, you always make it interesting.
This is crazy!, nice video
Damn. That's dedication at another level. Hat's off to Arun.🙏
You just gotta appreciate the years of silent transitioning rickroll that this guy does. It's genuinely amazing!
AGREED FIRST AND RICKDOG HEART ME
@Dont Read Profile Picture I won't
@Dont_Read_My_User_Pic
Ok I won’t
Where's the rickroll in this video?
Bro we have the same pfp
The quality of the pictures and videos you got out of that phone and lens were amazing. I wish more companies take this up as a challenge to make better cameras for the phones while making it more affordable.
Yes I’m still dreaming.
@Dont Read Profile Picture No
No. Let's just shortly say the price for it is completely outrageous. If you are into photography one bit, you would realise that first off, the lens that it comes with is manual so no autofocus, the colour fringing and overall bokeh is not smooth, the sharpness is actually pretty bad, and it will be even worse if you miss focus. If you are willing to spend so much for camera quality. You are better off buying a normal phone with something like a sony a7c and a good lens. This will cost max of 4k and you get, a phone, superior photos and videos, and an actual full-frame sensor.
It's just a concept. Stop whining
And make not to buy extra lens but to built-in of the same
@@bruh-qi7ue I'm not a lens geek, so I'll take what you've said word for word, except the fact that the outrageous price is only because it is extremely rare.
Your videos are so dynamic. Excellent cuts, eye-catching text, always well paced. Been watching you for years now, and to see your evolution is heartwarMIng (sorry).
Amazing vid! Really envious you got to try out the Concept but really great to see you've gone into decent detail and dedicated yourself to it. Really appreciate this! This is why you have such a big fanbase!
That's like an raspberry camera project. It has no autofocus, no stabilisation and no point.
I love how Xiaomi is evolving so fast & trying to make things cheap..but at the same time making some models feel exclusive and exciting.
Why won’t you finish the video first??

@@vortexeyt ok!
i found your channel while i searched for iphone 15 camera tests, and i'm glad i did it. your channel is amazing, love the editing, and in this video, the puns

The future for smartphones is so exciting! Every year there is something new and I love it.
True
YES RICKDOG!
Not to ruin your fun but I feel like phones are getting more and more saturated. 1000$ phones 300$ phones have same ui , storage etc
Hahaaa what new you are talking about? All they are doing everytime is just trying to mimic what camera does. Everything is just about camera nowadays. Who even cares. Why not just use regular camera instead.
What are you smoking? Customer experience has been the same for 5 years now. Nothing exciting at all, that's why sales are consistently declining.
This is a photographer's dream. An awesome all-round phone with the very expensive camera set up that can be detached. Xiaomi are on another level, just like Arun's creative content he continues to post.
What in the waffle? This is a photographer's nightmare. If you are into photography one bit, you would realise that first off, the lens that it comes with is manual so no autofocus, the colour fringing and overall bokeh is not smooth, the sharpness is actually pretty bad, and it will be even worse if you miss focus. If you are willing to spend so much for camera quality, you are better off buying a normal phone and then a normal mirrorless camera? If you want a film camera experience, well having it as a phone is nowhere near a "film camera experience".
Their ui is also on another level 🌚
This is absolutely not a photographers dream lol because a photographer worth their salt will just purchase a normal DSLR camera, and not a phone with a lens attached to it lol
The photographers dream is an actual camera, this is as stupid as it looks. For 43000 you can fill a few bags with proper photography gear, a preferred smartphone flagship and probably can equip an entire photo studio.
43.000 $
whenever i saw his video I'll always amazed on how so many details and sharp your video..not to mentioned all the editing and smooth transition...kudos to your team for amazing video🎉🎉
this is also something i've wondered about for few years, and i hope it catches on cause i really like this idea , great video keep it up :)
It's worth remembering that Android originally started as an operating system for digital cameras, so to see it effectively come full circle to this concept is interesting!
Likely what the JVC everio line of camcorders ran, or actually, linux (mine once panicked and I saw text all over the display, which a battery pull solved). The canon and olympus cameras I have don't run android (they boot within seconds).
It hasnt come full circle because this is strictly a gimmick. Nobody is using this.
@@BoxxyFan obviously no one can use it it's a concept 😂
its a concept that pushes the limitations mate. he even said so in the video.@@BoxxyFan
@@rootbrian4815 Canon cameras boot DryOS when you insert the battery. When you "turn it off" it just goes to deep sleep mode. The proper booting takes an extra few seconds.
Huge respect for going through the reaction, the aftermath and still manage to show up to us! You’re truly inspirational to me Arun!
Your health is more important than making a TH-cam video. He's just normalizing overworking hustle culture.

There is no youtuber like you, there is something that makes me interested to watch for sure I subscribed to ur channel. The fun of watching your content never ends, I never get bored of watching you video. I hope this made your day
07:54 why is no-one taking about this???
Take care of yourself Arun! Your health is way more important than some concept phone.
He does take care of himself. You don’t know the exact circumstances of his emergency. He might have been perfect to begin work after he was discharged. He even made a series of videos and posts dedicated to looking after himself more.
No. not really
We must appreciate the unimaginable amount of work that arun puts into these videos. Buying, Selling, Recording, Editing and, the biggest process of them all, striking the deal with the respective companies for extreme/unreleased products like this one. Indeed we are extremely thankful to you for sharing with us all this information arun! We are inexplicably grateful to you!
tbf he does have a whole team to do a lot of the work but still the videos are extremely impressive
Almost as if its a work & he gets paid for it. 😉
Also how he always rickrolls us
@@valiantwarrior1988 yeah
Bro he has a team do everything for him, and the companies prolly reach out to him for what is essentially an advertisement.
Found your channel recently... I love it... keep it up
I hope you are feeling better. Another great video. Already a subscriber, but I dropped a like!
The photos out of that 12S Ultra looks really phenomenal and makes me feel like the days are closer when smartphone cameras are actually catching up to the professional camera!
I would say short of a few small issues, the images they got look like it came from a midrange professional camera, like a newer Rebel camera, or a mid-lower end Sony mirrorless. It's incredible that a prototype smartphone can take photos that look like they came out of a camera a professional would use.
@@tbuk8350 it will be so cool if they arranged a wireless flash support to that smartphone
@Broski Snowski the thing is: you will carry your phone anyways. So it's not compact camera vs phone but phone + lens vs phone + body + lens
Not actually pro cameras improving every year too
Physics will place a limit to this. Lenses cant go any smaller with big sensors.
Arun! Hope you're doing better now after that allergic reaction scare. I really appreciate how you pushed through it all like an absolute champ: shows how much you care about making your content top-quality!

Great content! I can see us coming full circle in the future where the lenses keep getting bigger and bigger, and we will start carrying full size cameras that have the ability to make phone calls :)
Samsung Galaxy K-Zoom
Stabilization is an issue also. As you showed up the video, it was way more jiggling than iPhone one. I think that sensor stabilization is harder to achieve on the bigger sensors since it needs extra space to mount up the motor stabilizers etc which can allocate more space.
Arun, did you have issues when you were taking photos in low light?
BTW AWESOME sound in that hall ;)
Cheers mate and keep crushing! Hope you are feeling better!

great sir hi
I am from Nepal usually i almost used to see your videos your explanation is so clear .
I like your support for the children through the help .
Great salute to you sir
Love your videos keep it up 👍👍👍
6:26 . Not gonna lie the quality is so high that at this point it just looks like a really really well edited image
They need to add a modular grip to make it more balanced. Also they can definitely make the lens smaller, there are pancake lenses for full frame cameras... so with a little bit more development this could be a winner
its 43 000 are you for real they need to make it 200
@@crazietech1984 43000 manufacture and design cost for a concept is cheap. The price for mass production it can't be 43000... and until they release some native lenses this is not apealing for average public. Manual focus is not for everyone.
most of those lenses aren't really that great though. I would hate for this crazy concept that could actually be pretty useful, to be developed into another mediocre solution.
The sensor is pretty much flush with the mount, so any type C lenses would work and are much smaller. Why go full frame lenses? That sensor is small, so MFT lenses are smaller.
@@JustTryGambling I think the crux of the issue here is that Leica is a luxury brand. They won't make smaller lenses. Any Leica product is built like a tank. But if other lens brands like Sigma were interested, we could still get better optical quality and depth of field than what a mobile lens offers. The limiting factor for mobile photography is no longer sensor or processor, but just optics. That's what this concept is trying to show. I don't know whether someone will take a step further and make a feasible lens, but I was just pointing out that compromises are possible
Hi, I am a big fan of your work. just wanted to know which editing software do you use???
Great to see this thanks Arun.
Phone cameras are great- largely due to the processing software. In your pocket, take a picture without too much thought then cloud storage and instant upload to social media are the USP of the camera phone. The more manafacturers move towards mirorless and DSLR teritory is self defeating in my opinion. 90% of my pictures are taken on my pixel phone but it cannot match the abillity of even a prosumer mirorless- for example the fuji x mount system have been using for the lat 5 years since moving from Sony full frame DSLR. I am not even talking about RAW shooting and post processing but just shooting JPEG. It really is is horses for courses.
8:04 "So, yeah, a sub to the channel would be heart-warming."
Well _TOO LATE._ I'm _already_ subscribed. So tough luck!
VERY IMPRESSIVE, THANKS
it would be incredible if xiaomi released this concept commercialy, with lots of different adapters. it would be so much cool to adapt old c-mount 16mm lenses (which is close to the one inch sensor size) to use with the phone cameras!
I really appreciate this slightly slower more classic style video. Your recent videos have been getting faster and brighter and flashier and more difficult to follow, so this is a massive relief that you DEFINITELY still know how to make one of the best informative style tech videos on the platform!
The reason he is so fast is because apps like TikTok, TH-cam Shorts, and Instagram Reels have genuinely shortened many people’s attention spans.
Same. I think he is still adjusting with his team
Arun’s uploading consistency is legitimately blowing me away
The masterpiece iPhone video was released just yesterday
Agreed.
Agreed
This video was probably made a few weeks ago and was scheduled for today. It's quite easy to do if you have prepared a catalogue.🙂
Sadly your comment got copied
This is an amazing concept and exactly what I'd be looking for. Imagine an affordable camera body that your phone can slot into, that contains its own full frame sensor, mirrorless, full size lenses, everything- using thunderbolt
That way, you can still snap your average photo with your phone, but when you want to take high quality photos, you can slot your phone into this whole camera body and lens setup and use the phone's proccessing or photonic engine and software right alongside the large sensor and large lens that makes no compromises. It also means you get the convenience of a user friendly UI and touch controls, as well as the proccessing power of modern phones
Informative video 👍
The type of dedication you have shown to your work is insane
I love the fact the you are getting more consistent by every passing day.
Your videos are simply the best tech videos I have been seeing ever since I started watching TH-cam.
Definitely can't wait to see more from this
the way you're holding it! is put the shivers round my spine! dont drop it!!!!!
Both the quality and quantity of your videos are increasing, keep it up!
you be spitting mad fax my g
Yeah
WOW this is actually quite awesome! As the niche of smartphone photography blossoms its great to see the market listen to what people are actually asking for. Now of course the argument of “why carry around something like this and not just a DSLR?” The novelty of having the best “camera already in your pocket” is still something thats one of the coolest ideas.
I personally use third party lenses from @Sandmarc to help be get what I need. I’d love to see someone like Nokia jump on this as their cameras have been some of the stables on smart phones for years. Of course Sony with the Xperia phone as well!!
Great video and thank you for posting! I’ll be eagerly awaiting to see what you post on this, and hope you recovered from the allergy!
You are one of the youtubers that make the most quality videos in the shortest amount of time! I cant belive how fast you upload videos, while other take *Months*
Good Job!

You're right man
How is your audio so good on your videos? I keep looking for your lav mic or something to record your vocals, what are you using to make your vocals sound so great and no echo? Its incredible.

I love how Arun's videos are informative and entertaining at the same time.Keep up the excellent work Arun.
arun, you are the only youtuber that would make a new video right out of the emergency room… you are a legend and were all happy that youre ok
I like this, hope more phones get a possible option for this or standard lenses
Great job Arun,,

Hi Arun, I know you will probably never see this, but I just want to let you know that you and your team make these videos a pleasure to watch. They are entertaining, interesting, with a good amount of humour mixed in. I've watched you for a few years now.
Thank You!
how would you let him know if he will probably never see this
@@deathgei by the slim chance he might see it?
Chinese companies like Xiaomi seems like the only one to innovate and bring futuristic stuff to everyday consumer tech. It's commendable considering that the tech world, especially smartphones are getting plain and boring nowadays.
Agreed
Unfortunately you're right
I think this is good for adventure or hiking where you just wanna carry something a bit more then your normal standard camera to capture a decent shot
"Xiaomi Can Wow Me". The moment you said it I thought if youtube gonna sensor this video for being so lewd.
The photos look great! I really hope Xiaomi can make this happen in 13 Ultra or 14 Ultra. It almost feels like carrying a real camera and this is the point, so that we don’t need to carry the camera body because we will take the phone with us anyways.
absolutely correct...
Except actual cameras will always be better, just because they have full frame and medium format sensors
@@thomastewksbury39 it seems people didnt ever use a real camera, dslr, mirrorless and simply cant compare the quality between a phone and a camera
@@Trcstn some can, most don't even care or see much difference. Sure we can feel something extra of a stunning photo, but a great photo is a great photo due to the subject, and camera phones are getting very good nowadays without lenses
@@thomastewksbury39 but no one knows how to get a good photo with that, the smartphone does the hard work
Then you spend however much a flag line phone is currently for a good everyday phone with decent built-in cameras then if you know you're going somewhere you want lenses then you only need to buy new lenses and not have to carry a phone and a camera you don't know how to work
Nice video Arun! Excellent work on showing us what other phone companies work on! Next time show us a comparison with the Galaxy S23 Ultra 😁😁
It would be interesting to see this same video making the photos with a cheaper lenses. Actually, the Leica Summicon 35 mm 1.4 is considered one of the best lenses for professional photography out there. Anyway, amazing concept, willing to see if they let swap to another type of lenses!
Explanation was lit
Thanks for your hard work Arun! We learn a lot as a viewer by doing this kind of tech videos! 🙌🏻
I feel like this is a great idea and an expansion on the motto-mods, which is really cool. Honestly, I wouldn't mind bringing around an extra bulky lens for when I actually care about photos.

Time will come when all phones have mirror less sensors and and able to mount nikon or Canon lens
Or just get a real camera. A DSLR or mirrorless is still much better
wow, I wonder if making an extendable lense built into a phone can help solve the issue if moving the lense a buit further away from a 1-2 inch sencor. like how most compact point and shoots do. that would be insane
This is awesome for the future! Hopefully this is a theme for the future
While the video displayed the most amazing tech we're all waiting for - I'm more happy to hear you made it back from the allergic reaction. Keep posting great content Arun!
The quality of his vids is far better than any camera can pull off. Good job!
Current pro grade mirrorless cameras can be plugged to a smartphone and stream photos live to the studio, where an editor can do the touch up, watermark and push to a live album.
We do that for large social events so that the guests can view, download and share photos as the event unfold.
I'm sure there exist specialized external recorders that support streaming video over wifi.
Honestly a phone camera with interchangeable lenses isn't attractive anymore, Samsung had one such system.
If you just need to take few photos for social media, uploading to computer, editing and publishing is still the best workflow to take full advantage of the camera raw file.
If you have to shoot for hours, you want long lasting batteries, a comfortable camera body grip, accessories like a speed light or flash commander. Also, you'd usually have two cameras with different lenses.
Most working photographers/videographers don't really change camera bodies whenever a new one comes out. So one wouldn't really want to be stuck with a 4 year old camera phone is while one could just use a 4 yo camera with a brand new phone.
Also, Leica manual focus on a slab phone, yeek.
This could be easily achived by leaving a main camera on the phone with it's own lenses, and having the exposed sensor with a protecting case of some kind that can fit the phone and auto open when you add the lenses, thing is, if you can add any lenses you could buy a Wide angle, normal and a telephoto separatelly, or even a lens that can cover all this ranges like any normal camera, lenses are replaceable. So if you want to take a Quick shot, you have your main camera on the side, but if you are looking for a more a curate shot you can strap on the lenses on to the exposed sensor
Thank you for your dedication to technology and your subscribers! We appreciate you!
This is what I was asking for when I first saw the Xperia phones from Sony It's like the perfect short form/ Vlog Content Device where you can just shoot, edit, and Upload all in one device unfortunately its just a concept phone but I do hope they learn things from this and maybe even implement it in future devices.
I have Xperia 5 but IT'S BATTERY IS TOOOO SMALL
Perfect Presentation
Yeah, Heart warMIng. Finally, Let me subscribe. 😶 That was touching. Good to know you are better now. Im Xpectin Xiaomi 13 reviews.

YESSSSSS i thought i was the only one who saw that lol
Super excieted to see this concept and incoming 13 Ultra
This price without no sponsor? Thank you Mr.WhoseTheBoss for doing all you do for our enjoyment. What a legend!
This concept existed way back, it's not something new, but the reason why no one ever went with it completely is simple (as you just said) - carrying something like that is pretty much like carrying a MILC (DSLRs are bigger and dying) - for example a Fuji with a prime lens - not to mention that it has a bigger sensor, better lens (cause this combo has poor optical resolution as seen from photos and lots of aberrations) and overall, in the end the most important thing - it takes better photos. Not to mention that this has bad ergonomics - after shooting few photos your hand would be in pain... Also, you have interchangeable batteries on a camera, you can't change a battery on a phone, you need to charge it. So - to sum it up again - reason why no one went with it is - MILC is pretty much the same size, has better ergonomics, makes better photos, is cheaper...
Always my favorite tech reviewer 💕👌
Absolutely amazing
