Hi everyone Chris here with a camera comparison so it is the Xiaomi mix 4 up against the iphone
12 pro max and then the me 11 ultra so with the front facing cameras right now i'll be swapping
over the audio sources big difference here so the iphone clearly dominates with the front-facing
vlog footage quality 4k 34k 60 the Xiaomi's they top out at only 1080p unfortunately they really
do need to step up their game Xiaomi give us 4k with the front facing cameras so all three
of these have electronic image stabilization that it's currently applying and you can see
with the under display camera on the mix 4 it does not look as good as the other two phones
but not actually too bad for an under display camera so let's move over to the rear cameras now
and our main camera is now so we've got 108 megapixels on the mix four 12 megapixels on
the iphone 12 pro max and 50 megapixels on the 11 ultra main camera video so with the mix 4 we have
a 108 megapixel camera then with the iphone 12 pro max it's 12 megapixels for all of their sensors
and on the me 11 ultra it is a 50 megapixel main camera here so all three of them
do have electronic image stabilization with video there's optical on the iphone optical
on the me 11 ultra here so a short jog ahead testing that stability
and we do have a bit of a storm that is rolling in here at the moment
and if i pan around we shouldn't see any jetta coming through not at 4k 30 frames per second
so let me know in the comments which do you think has the best main camera video quality and
the audio quality too as i swap over between the three different phones now the ultra wide cameras
so again all three are using electronic image stabilization here to steady out the image
which one do you think is the best another short little jog
testing that stability and here i have noticed at least on the mix four sometimes
that when i do pan around sometimes there's a little bit of jutta that comes through as a result
of the exposure changes and the electronic image stabilization
this is now 4k 60 frames per second
for me in the past the iphone has actually been the best at shooting 4k 60. maybe to do with that
bionic a14 just having so much raw power that really does help out now i found that focus
across all three of these has been just fine here no problems locking on and then another
little jog testing out that stability if you were to be running behind someone for example
zoom cameras now so we've got five times optical zoom on the me 11 ultra it's a 48
megapixel sensor it should be the best here in theory 2.5 times optical zoom on the iphone 12
pro max and then i am using a two times digital zoom on the mix four so i am going to just move
and walk a little bit just to test out the stability of these cameras here once
zoomed in recording video now you can see it shakes around a little bit more
on the mi 11. ultra that's understandable because it's five times optical with its periscope setup
and just panning around now there shouldn't be any judder coming through on these
let's move over to low light now
so here it is obviously between the iphone 12 pro max and then the me 11 ultra with the front facing
cameras the under display camera and the mix 4 yet we can just completely write that one off here in
low light it does not look that good of course the camera needs to see through and around
those pixels that are covering it that's why it doesn't look so good here as i step into the light
it's looking a little bit better now let's have a look at the rear cameras in low light so here
we're looking at 4k 30 frames per second across all three of them i don't seem to be doing too bad
here considering that it is about 11 30 at night here but there is a lot of bright ambient lights
on of course that is helping it so as i step over into this area it's gonna be a little bit
more difficult now less light we'll see how these perform and let me know in the comments which one
do you think in these difficult conditions at night here shooting the best low-light 4k video
and now with the ultra wide so there is a huge advantage
on the me 11 ultra having a 48 megapixel ultrawide camera versus a 12 megapixel in
the iphone and then a 13 megapixel one in the mix four so in theory it should do the best here
as i pan around they are looking very very similar just looking at the phone screens here
and even i think the iphone is capturing this a little bit better with the lights
so
okay so here are my own findings here this is all subjective of course but front video
footage iphone 12 pro max got to give it to them they've got the 4k 30 4k 60 the Xiaomi's both of
them in fact all Xiaomi phones up until now do not shoot 4k with the front-facing cameras which is
really lagging behind i mean their flagship phones come on get up with the times there show me with
the color and video the iphone 12 pro max or the mix 4 was more true to life i did find that the
meal even ultra would overdo the saturation or the blues and the sky was just yeah it was too much
audio merely an ultra for the richest clearest sound i think but the iphone 12 pro max did a
much better job at handling wind noise which is something that's going to often happen when you're
out so that's probably actually the one to go for if you want the best audio quality i'd rather have
the wind noise handle better not ruining my audio than being as clear as the mi 11 ultra now there's
still shots daytime stills iphone 12 pro max aced quite a few of them especially that very difficult
red hibiscus flower it managed to get that without clipping the reds too much the meal even ultra
disappointing with that shot it over saturated it clipped the reds not so great now the portraits
merely of an ultra i think they look more pleasant uh just better contrast iphone looked way too warm
they always do this so with the portraits in the shellfish selfies shots they increase uh the warm
tones of it and i don't like the way they do that we should be a little bit more neutral with that
selfies i think the iphone was the better then but again a little bit too warm low light selfies
iphone 12 pro max again good and then the rear shots in low light the iphone 12 pro max i think
actually came out on top just there were some of the shots there that it wasn't so good at
but then it came back with other ones there so it's it's a bit mixed there but i think i wrote
actually the iphone 12 pro mac all right so i think that overall the general winner if i have
to pick one would be the iphone 12 pro max in most areas apart from of course the zoom cameras
we're the meal even ultra has a definite advantage there five times optical periscope camera
it has a 48 megapixel sensor for that so that's where it can beat up the iphone 12 pro max
and then the iphone 12 pro max in the portraits did lose out because of those just overly
warm tones that they use with portraits and selfie photos so thank you so much for watching
this comparison and i do hope to see you back in the next one subscribe for more
