All of them are 2021 phones, even the Samsung S21 is older than the Mi 11 Ultra.

The Xiaomi is still above them all in DXOMark's camera ranking.

Unbiased1:
Mi 11 Ultra has all it takes to be the best camera phone but it's limitation remains the camera software. It competes favourably with its flagship pairs but still falls behind the Samsung 21 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max in an overall camera comparison.
I'm not trying to say that the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra's camera is all bad because other flagship phones also have their flaws. For example, the Pixel 6 series has the most inconsistent camera amongst the camera kings but it managed to come out top in Low light shots, exposure and skin colour accuracy tests, Samsung and iPhone had the most consistent camera with the Samsung winning the Portrait shots and zoom shots in both day light and low light scenes with Pixel 6 Pro coming 2nd in zoom shots, iPhone 13 Pro Max did not really win much but had good scores in selfie shots, telephoto and few daylight shots. The iPhone had the best video recordings followed by the Samsung but fell short in zoom and exposure tests. Pixel 6 has horrible portrait mode but very sharp selfie. Xiaomi 11 Ultra was just in-between in all the tests.
Unfortunately, the Vivo X70 was not included in the test. It would have won most of the daylight shots hands down and still beat other phones, excluding the Pixel, in low light shots.

Here you are listing the Mi 11 Ultra with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Pixel 6 Pro.

The funniest thing is, the Xiaomi is above the phones you mentioned in DXOMark camera ranking. Guess what? It is a 2021 device older than them all.

Unbiased1:
Recent Google Pixel devices can be classified as midrangers especially the Pixel 5 series and the vanilla Pixel 6 phone. Only the Pixel 6 Pro is a true flagship others are just midrangers or at best, flagship killers because they are more expensive than the average midrange phone. Do you think that Xiaomi 12 Pro can stand against the Pixel 6 and win any camera comparison? Just like OnePlus, Xiaomi is yet to hit the nail on the head with its camera algorithm and is always at the midpoint when compared with other flagships like Pixel, Samsung and iPhone.
Surprisingly, Vivo tends to produce better results than Xiaomi flagships at least from last year's Vivo X70. Vivo is not just getting the right kind of hype and publicity it deserves. The Vivo X70 of last year and the newer X80 pro of the this year literally beat the crap out of Samsung's 21 and 22 series as well as iPhone 13 series in camera tests. Not even Pixel 6 Pro could pull a convincing performance against the X70. The X80 Pro is even a bigger beast of a camera phone and I just hope Google Pixel 7 will be able to put up a better fight this October against that Vivo phone.

What about the Mi 11 Ultra of last year?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! Then I will look at it on the ground for like 1 minute before picking it up

Cc atheistandproud, Auskyd, and everyone.
Thanks

If Android update won't be a problem to you, the LG is very good - Better speaker, better battery and a very decent camera which GCAM will make it more better.

LIGHTROOM:
Photography is very interesting and quiet easy to learn.
And if you are good, there is a lot of money in it.

I will encourage you to start and also be dedicated and focus.
Don't put money first, make perfection your priority and money will come.

StrafordSTONES:
Go through the whole of this thread and you would see such posts as "Google pixel 3a, no edits", " iPhone no edits" some infinix "no edits' too...


But once you see Xiaomi, you will see "shot with Gcam" and the ones not shot with Gcam and the ones not shot with Gcam are often edited with lightroom, Snapseed and some other photo editors.And some of the edited pics are sometimes imo are childish [b](If you edit pictures in such a way that someone will see it and know it was edited then it's often not the best.)[\b]

Please answer me this question, if Xiaomi devices are good in terms of Camera the way you guys always say, why is there often need to get Gcam?

Fact: Gcam became a popular word on Nairaland at the same era/period that Xiaomi got general acceptance. Why is that?

You are not a photographer. #Factos

Guy, stop this thing na... If anybody here owns a Mi 11 Ultra , who go get time to dey edit picture? The Samsung S20 guy here doesn't edit his pictures because there are good... flagship output.



If it is easy to install GCAM, install it on the Tecno Phantom or Infinix Zero X

StrafordSTONES:
What I'm saying is simple: there are phones you would use, and you would never need editing. Take the the Google pixel for instance, iPhones and some others. And that is not to say that people using these devices do not edit their pictures but it's minimal often used to correct minute details.

Not when you have to increase brightness, contrasts, exposure and the likes. And please I get what you mean by photographers having to use editing tools, of course they do and you wouldn't be expecting and wouldn't be expecting an average user to go looking for those tools just to have a nice presentable picture for his or status and for memories.

Your mistake, bro.

Comparing premium devices to Xiaomi's midrange and entry-level.

Mi 11 Ultra, Mi Note 10 and recently, the Xiaomi 12 Pro are phones that can go head to head with any iPhone in their category... you want a Corolla to outrun a Ferrari?

StrafordSTONES:
Bro this is usually what they say, it doesn't often turn out to be like that... I used the note4 but I wouldn't really say I was impressed, I also convinced my sister to use the note 8 and I would even rate the note 4 cam over the note 8.
Next thing you start getting advised to install a Gcam. In terms of Camera, I'm never giving Xiaomi a chance again.

What about their flagship, what do you think about them?

StrafordSTONES:
I think mid range to low entry devices. I haven't used their flagships but I don't there would be a much difference.


In other areas, the device would be good

So, a midrange - low-entry device should perform like a flagship photographically, right?

StrafordSTONES:
Xiaomi and good camera are two parallel lines...


All these taking pictures and editing with Snapseed makes it look childish.

Which class of Xiaomi, please?

Dunkjames5:
thank you bro! I will got it fixed and get rid of infinix.

LoL. Bro, dump that phone, it is not better than the Infinix you have there with you.
