Which Ultra Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra or the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, has the best camera? I found out in this massive, in-depth comparison.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra may have the best camera on a smartphone I’ve used this year, which is quite a statement to make considering the competition it faces. But is it true?
Leica’s involvement helps give Xiaomi’s camera character, and while the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s camera has proven to be excellent, it has never struck me as having its own unique style. This may hurt it during the test, but it may then win back points through consistency — an issue that has often hounded Xiaomi cameras, almost regardless of the model.
In the next photo, you can see where the Xiaomi 14 Ultra picks out more detail, exposes more texture, and again captures emotion where the Galaxy S24 Ultra misses out. The walls and the wooden gate have been smoothed out by the S24 Ultra, which favors a deeper shadow in the foreground, and it loses the aged, weathered, and accurate look in the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s photo. The sky has a blue and gray tint compared to Xiaomi’s whiter sky, something we’ll see more of next.
I do prefer Samsung’s sky and colors, and I admit the brightness is welcome. But when you get in even slightly closer, the detail is fuzzy and lacks sharpness. It’s easy to see where the Xiaomi phone improves even without zooming in just by looking at the numbers on the clock face and the clean lines around the brickwork. There’s a long way to go in this test with the telephoto cameras on these two phones, but the Xiaomi 14 Ultra takes an early lead, at least on a technical level.
