Xiaomi 12S Ultra might've just reinvented the smartphone camera, thanks to a $15M Sony-Leica collaboration! Take a look at over 40 camera samples that pit the new Xiaomi 12S Ultra against the Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
, which had a very strong camera system. The good news is that the samples shot by fellow tech enthusiasts from China are more than enough to give us a general impression of what Xiaomi is going for.Xiaomi 12S Ultra bets on an authentic “real camera” image processing - unlike Samsung and AppleXiaomi 12S Ultra vs iPhone 13 Pro Max photo samples
However, the big difference here is that Leica’s Authentic image style lets the shadows be as dark as they need to be , while still letting Xiaomi’s impressive HDR balance out the highlights without going overboard, and the result is… cinematic. However, the 1-inch sensor that the Xiaomi 12S Ultra brings doesn’t seem to need it all that often, if at all. It often allows Xiaomi’s flagship to snap a photo immediately, while phones like the Galaxy S22 Ultra and iPhone 13 Pro Max might need a 2-3 second Night Mode to complete the same task in low light.
It’s important to note that while the German-Chinese-Japanese coalition has produced a very Leica-inspired camera phone, Xiaomi and Leica haven’t totally forced their understanding of photography onto users. In other words, Leica Authentic is what you get when you combine the mighty Sony IMX 989 with Leica’s approach to images, while the Leica Vibrant puts a smartphone camera filter on top of that to make it more social media-ready and much more similar to the image processing of phones like the Galaxy S22 and iPhone 13.
It goes without saying the Galaxy S22 Ultra will comfortably outperform the Xiaomi 12S Ultra when it comes to long-range zoom . However, the 12S Ultra puts up a really strong fight at those 2-10x zoom shots, and thanks to its powerful sensor cropping techniques and dedicated 5x camera, it often outperforms the Galaxy. Some 10x shots are much closer than you’d expect, given the hardware differences.
iPhone 13 takes photos that are often too bright and too over-sharpened, compared to what we see with our eyes.
