0:00:00.000,0:00:00.544
- Hey!

0:00:00.544,0:00:04.644
Finally, my order [br]of Xiaomi 15 Ultra has arrived.

0:00:04.656,0:00:09.148
This is the most premium smartphone[br]for 2025 from Xiaomi.

0:00:09.148,0:00:10.748
And personally,[br]my daily driver

0:00:10.748,0:00:12.250
is the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

0:00:12.250,0:00:14.721
And probably I might be able[br]to tell you the differences

0:00:14.721,0:00:17.413
and the improvements[br]from its predecessor.

0:00:17.413,0:00:19.304
Powered by the Qualcomm[br]Snapdragon 8 Elite,

0:00:19.304,0:00:21.829
together with a 6,000mAh[br]of battery,

0:00:21.829,0:00:25.393
a big 200MP periscope[br]telephoto lens,

0:00:25.393,0:00:27.891
and Bluetooth 6 capability.

0:00:27.891,0:00:29.822
More details [br]after this quick intro.

0:00:29.822,0:00:33.178
(introduction music)

0:01:22.780,0:01:25.558
This Xiaomi 15 Ultra[br]that has 12GB of RAM

0:01:25.558,0:01:28.941
and 256GB of storage[br]is currently priced

0:01:28.941,0:01:32.161
at around Php59,000[br]that you can buy

0:01:32.161,0:01:34.664
in UKDB Gadgets[br]which I'll link

0:01:34.664,0:01:36.810
on the description box below.

0:01:36.810,0:01:37.645
But if you're looking[br]for an online shop,

0:01:37.645,0:01:39.886
I'll also post it [br]on the description box below.

0:01:42.260,0:01:44.847
Honestly, my first impression[br]is that its camera

0:01:44.847,0:01:45.988
has become larger.

0:01:45.988,0:01:50.202
Its size has increased compared[br]to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

0:01:50.202,0:01:55.106
But one thing to like here[br]is that its two-tone color

0:01:55.106,0:01:57.135
looks really nice and refreshing.

0:01:57.135,0:01:58.975
The other two colors[br]that are available

0:01:58.975,0:02:01.933
are only black and white[br]which I think are kind of boring.

0:02:01.933,0:02:04.220
This is the only color[br]that's better since I think

0:02:04.220,0:02:06.323
it's being inspired[br]by the Leica Camera.

0:02:06.323,0:02:08.292
You'll see the Ultra logo here[br]which is something new

0:02:08.292,0:02:09.916
that's not present[br]in the 14 Ultra.

0:02:09.916,0:02:12.369
And this time around,[br]PU leather finish on one side

0:02:12.369,0:02:14.280
and I believe that this is [br]a plastic finish

0:02:14.280,0:02:15.242
on the other side.

0:02:15.242,0:02:17.191
They're both not[br]a fingerprint magnet

0:02:17.191,0:02:18.518
so it's okay for me.

0:02:18.518,0:02:21.379
It also has side aluminum frames[br]and a lot of antenna bands

0:02:21.379,0:02:22.496
all over the phone.

0:02:22.496,0:02:26.358
The protection of its front glass[br]is a Xiaomi Shield Glass 2.0

0:02:26.358,0:02:29.738
which is tougher than ever[br]compared to its predecessor

0:02:29.738,0:02:31.350
which is the Shield 1.

0:02:31.350,0:02:34.634
And this is also an IP68[br]dust and water resistant

0:02:34.634,0:02:37.254
which I think is kind[br]of lacking compared

0:02:37.254,0:02:40.363
to other flagship IP69-rated.

0:02:40.363,0:02:43.545
But of course, I always say[br]don't try to dunk it

0:02:43.545,0:02:46.250
to the water[br]if you don't need it,

0:02:46.250,0:02:47.707
because the worst thing[br]that can happen to your phone

0:02:47.707,0:02:50.595
once you dunk it on water[br]is that there might be fog

0:02:50.595,0:02:53.210
present on the camera lenses[br]which there are many

0:02:53.210,0:02:55.390
who complained about it[br]on the Redmi Note 13

0:02:55.390,0:02:57.358
and even on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

0:02:57.358,0:03:00.589
You can also buy a camera kit[br]for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra,

0:03:00.589,0:03:03.960
but for me, I don't really find[br]any practical usage

0:03:03.960,0:03:06.562
for me, personally,[br]on my daily usage.

0:03:06.562,0:03:08.342
It has really great capabilities[br]if you'll be able

0:03:08.342,0:03:09.925
to get the most out of it[br]as a photographer

0:03:09.925,0:03:12.546
but I have an alternative way[br]that I'll teach you.

0:03:12.546,0:03:13.327
Take a look.

0:03:13.327,0:03:15.450
Personally, I didn't buy[br]the camera kit

0:03:15.450,0:03:17.883
of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Why?

0:03:17.883,0:03:21.430
Because I don't really find[br]any day-to-day real life usage

0:03:21.430,0:03:23.667
that'll be practical for it.

0:03:23.667,0:03:26.670
For the 14 Ultra,[br]I bought a camera kit

0:03:26.670,0:03:30.780
and well, honestly,[br]I just used it twice

0:03:30.780,0:03:31.903
for the span of two months.

0:03:31.903,0:03:34.267
So you won't really bring it.

0:03:34.267,0:03:37.708
So I found some alternatives[br]that you can use

0:03:37.708,0:03:38.933
for the 15 Ultra.

0:03:38.933,0:03:41.718
If you're not the type of guy[br]who'll always use

0:03:41.718,0:03:44.160
the camera kit,[br]you can consider this option.

0:03:44.160,0:03:45.339
So I bought this from China.

0:03:45.339,0:03:48.478
It's a case where you can attach[br]your filters on

0:03:48.478,0:03:50.651
which comes in really handy.

0:03:50.651,0:03:52.498
I'm not sure when it's going[br]to be available

0:03:52.498,0:03:53.414
in the Philippines.

0:03:53.414,0:03:55.487
But if there's already one,[br]I'll just pop it

0:03:55.487,0:03:56.717
on the description box.

0:03:56.717,0:04:00.524
What this does is that[br]you can attach your filters

0:04:00.524,0:04:02.517
like what I bought from SmallRig.

0:04:02.517,0:04:07.820
I have here a CPL filter,[br]black mist filter,

0:04:07.820,0:04:13.361
and also the VND filter [br]that has 1-5 stop.

0:04:13.361,0:04:17.232
Now, what I can do here[br]is just simply attach it here.

0:04:18.376,0:04:19.877
And it gets the job done.

0:04:19.877,0:04:23.100
So any time I want to use this,[br]I'll just adjust

0:04:23.100,0:04:25.778
the variable as you can see.

0:04:25.778,0:04:30.294
So it does its job[br]being a filter.

0:04:30.294,0:04:32.860
And another attachment[br]that you can buy is this one

0:04:32.860,0:04:37.176
from Ulanzi, the CG01 [br]smartphone cap grip.

0:04:37.176,0:04:40.382
It also has a Bluetooth[br]shutter button here

0:04:40.382,0:04:42.823
which also can be a shutter.

0:04:42.823,0:04:46.886
And you can use it[br]as a grip to mount it

0:04:46.886,0:04:48.567
as a camera.

0:04:48.567,0:04:50.755
So what you can do is...

0:04:50.755,0:04:53.841
It'll look like this[br]after you attach everything.

0:04:53.841,0:04:56.727
Honestly, I don't really find[br]the practical usage

0:04:56.727,0:04:58.927
of the camera kit of Xiaomi.

0:04:58.927,0:05:01.683
If you want to spend Php12,000,[br]if you have the money,

0:05:01.683,0:05:04.254
and you find [br]any practical usage, okay,

0:05:04.254,0:05:06.592
but if you're like me[br]where you'll just use it

0:05:06.592,0:05:10.286
once a month,[br]I'd rather buy something

0:05:10.286,0:05:14.435
like this one, from Ulanzi[br]and a case like this one

0:05:14.435,0:05:17.506
so you can attach your filters[br]and you spend your money

0:05:17.506,0:05:20.560
on the filters of SmallRig instead[br]which I think

0:05:20.560,0:05:21.701
it's more practical.

0:05:21.701,0:05:23.732
And when you grip it,[br]it looks something like this,

0:05:23.732,0:05:27.125
it has almost the same feel[br]as the camera kit of Xiaomi.

0:05:27.125,0:05:28.254
What do you think?

0:05:28.254,0:05:30.832
So if you want to know[br]where you can buy these kits,

0:05:30.832,0:05:33.626
I'll pop it on [br]the description box below.

0:05:35.794,0:05:38.350
One of the best things here[br]is that this has

0:05:38.350,0:05:42.572
a really powerful processor,[br]Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite.

0:05:42.572,0:05:44.319
It's the best for this year.

0:05:44.319,0:05:47.319
And another good news for you[br]is that Xiaomi gave

0:05:47.319,0:05:50.344
the full potential of the chipset.

0:05:50.344,0:05:53.100
And I was surprised [br]that I was able to get

0:05:53.100,0:05:56.879
a 2.7 million score[br]on AnTuTu Benchmark,

0:05:56.879,0:06:00.300
rivalling the same[br]as the REDMAGIC 10 Pro

0:06:00.300,0:06:01.149
which is a gaming phone.

0:06:01.149,0:06:04.861
This is not a gaming phone[br]but Xiaomi gave everything to you.

0:06:04.861,0:06:06.950
You'd see on some[br]of our other reviews

0:06:06.950,0:06:08.788
that has the Snapdragon 8 Elite,

0:06:08.788,0:06:10.447
like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra,

0:06:10.447,0:06:13.340
it's only got 2.1 million[br]AnTuTu Benchmark score.

0:06:13.340,0:06:17.778
The Samsung S25+[br]only got 1.9 million AnTuTu score.

0:06:17.778,0:06:20.157
And if I remember it correctly,[br]the realme GT 7 Pro

0:06:20.157,0:06:23.217
only got 2.2 million AnTuTu score.

0:06:23.217,0:06:24.745
And this is the breakdown score.

0:06:24.745,0:06:25.829
Good job, Xiaomi.

0:06:25.829,0:06:27.831
This is the benchmark score[br]we got on Geekbench

0:06:27.831,0:06:29.158
for its CPU benchmarking

0:06:29.158,0:06:31.127
and GPU benchmarking.

0:06:31.127,0:06:33.770
Its loop score is 5,700[br]on Wild Life Extreme

0:06:33.770,0:06:35.757
with 76% stability.

0:06:35.757,0:06:38.401
Honestly, its thermals are okay[br]except that it's kind

0:06:38.401,0:06:40.592
of rocky when it's about[br]to finish,

0:06:40.592,0:06:44.100
and it throttled to 79%[br]of its best performance.

0:06:45.166,0:06:46.767
Let's talk about battery.

0:06:46.767,0:06:50.286
It's a huge jump[br]from its predecessor,

0:06:50.286,0:06:53.406
the Xiaomi 14 Ultra[br]only has 5,000mAh of battery.

0:06:53.406,0:06:56.430
This China ROM variant[br]of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra comes

0:06:56.430,0:07:00.676
with a 6,000mAh [br]of silicon-carbon battery already.

0:07:00.676,0:07:02.378
But when you buy [br]the global ROM,

0:07:02.378,0:07:05.366
it's only 5,410mAh[br]which is still an upgrade

0:07:05.366,0:07:06.836
from the predecessor.

0:07:06.836,0:07:08.417
And what's good[br]with the China ROM is that

0:07:08.417,0:07:10.388
it comes together [br]with a charging brick

0:07:10.388,0:07:13.070
that's 90W HyperCharge of Xiaomi[br]which is missing

0:07:13.077,0:07:14.334
on the global variant.

0:07:14.334,0:07:17.108
But they're both supported[br]by 80W wireless charging

0:07:17.108,0:07:19.689
and 10W reverse wireless charging.

0:07:19.689,0:07:22.614
For my experience using this[br]for a week already,

0:07:22.614,0:07:24.464
I would say its battery[br]is fine.

0:07:24.464,0:07:27.270
Personally speaking,[br]I think it is better

0:07:27.270,0:07:30.874
than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra[br]which I think drains the battery

0:07:30.874,0:07:32.525
a lot faster.

0:07:32.525,0:07:34.739
Especially when I upgraded[br]to the HyperOS 2,

0:07:34.739,0:07:39.675
I noticed my battery[br]drains even faster throughout the day.

0:07:39.675,0:07:41.757
And another surprise [br]that I got here is that

0:07:41.757,0:07:44.657
it was able to give me[br]a 20 hours and 46 minutes

0:07:44.657,0:07:47.055
on the PCMark[br]battery stress test

0:07:47.055,0:07:50.499
under 50% brightness[br]and 60Hz of screen refresh rate.

0:07:50.499,0:07:51.628
For me, it's durable.

0:07:53.658,0:07:55.745
Let's talk about its display.

0:07:55.781,0:07:58.902
I noticed that one thing[br]that it improved here

0:07:58.902,0:08:01.541
is probably the display[br]compared to the 14 Ultra.

0:08:01.541,0:08:04.592
I feel like its screen[br]is more vibrant

0:08:04.592,0:08:06.538
while browsing on socials.

0:08:06.538,0:08:09.901
Maybe because I'm also[br]using the 14 Ultra

0:08:09.901,0:08:11.731
for exactly a year already.

0:08:11.731,0:08:14.424
But one thing I noticed[br]is that its screen size

0:08:14.424,0:08:15.375
didn't change.

0:08:15.375,0:08:19.186
It still maintained [br]a 6.73-inch LTPO AMOLED display

0:08:19.186,0:08:21.461
with 120Hz of screen refresh rate.

0:08:21.461,0:08:24.139
And of course,[br]supporting Dolby Vision, HDR10+.

0:08:24.139,0:08:27.051
Its peak brightness[br]also increased to 3,200 nits

0:08:27.051,0:08:29.808
to its predecessor[br]which had 3,000 nits.

0:08:29.808,0:08:32.259
If you're only browsing[br]on socials,

0:08:32.259,0:08:34.587
expect your experience[br]to be good here.

0:08:34.587,0:08:37.523
Browsing on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra,[br]be it on Facebook,

0:08:37.523,0:08:41.990
Instagram, or TikTok,[br]swiping on the reels,

0:08:41.990,0:08:44.095
I think you won't have[br]any problem here.

0:08:44.095,0:08:46.485
As long as your internet connection[br]is good, I guarantee you

0:08:46.485,0:08:48.584
your experience[br]will be very smooth here.

0:08:48.584,0:08:50.624
If you're watching HD content[br]on this phone,

0:08:50.624,0:08:52.865
because it has Level 1[br]Widevine Security Level,

0:08:52.865,0:08:55.776
for sure that you'll be[br]really surprised

0:08:55.776,0:08:58.104
with how great[br]its display is here.

0:08:58.104,0:09:01.126
Very punchy, bright colors,[br]and the black

0:09:01.126,0:09:02.960
is definitely blacker.

0:09:02.960,0:09:05.881
By the way guys,[br]I tried Globe, Smart, and DITO,

0:09:05.881,0:09:08.504
they all were able to get[br]5G signal here.

0:09:08.504,0:09:10.581
And currently, this one[br]is running HyperOS 2

0:09:10.581,0:09:11.923
inside Android 15.

0:09:11.923,0:09:14.563
And this one comes together[br]with four Android major updates,

0:09:14.563,0:09:18.627
so you should be updated[br]up to Android 19.

0:09:20.700,0:09:22.426
Now guys, let's talk [br]about the audio.

0:09:22.426,0:09:25.372
It has seven holes on the bottom[br]and the other one

0:09:25.372,0:09:27.249
is coming from its earpiece.

0:09:27.249,0:09:29.692
So I just want to show you[br]how loud it is.

0:09:29.692,0:09:32.051
Would the sound blow [br]my mind or not?

0:09:32.051,0:09:35.184
(Season of Memories by GFRIEND)

0:09:35.560,0:09:37.512
Honestly, its sound is loud,

0:09:37.518,0:09:40.395
almost the same [br]with the Xiaomi 14 Ultra

0:09:40.395,0:09:42.962
but you'll feel its bass[br]and it sounds really pleasing

0:09:42.962,0:09:44.231
to the ears.

0:09:46.211,0:09:49.360
We've played four games[br]on this smartphone

0:09:49.371,0:09:52.480
and I played Wuthering Waves,[br]Farlight 84,

0:09:52.480,0:09:54.594
Genshin Impact,[br]and Call of Duty Mobile.

0:09:54.594,0:09:59.206
One thing I noticed here[br]is that its touch sampling rate

0:09:59.206,0:10:01.987
has increased from 240Hz[br]on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra

0:10:01.987,0:10:05.780
up to 300Hz [br]on the new Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

0:10:05.780,0:10:09.645
On Genshin Impact,[br]I would say my experience here

0:10:09.645,0:10:10.943
was great.

0:10:10.943,0:10:13.767
I hardly felt any lags[br]on this game.

0:10:13.767,0:10:16.515
My experience was so smooth.

0:10:16.515,0:10:20.210
Battling against the boss[br]and clashing with many enemies

0:10:20.210,0:10:23.983
on the battlefield, [br]you'll really feel that, okay,

0:10:23.983,0:10:26.195
it's very smooth,[br]I didn't feel any frame drops.

0:10:26.195,0:10:28.099
If there are,[br]it's almost negligible,

0:10:28.099,0:10:30.534
I didn't feel that much[br]on this smartphone.

0:10:30.534,0:10:32.980
And the touch response[br]was definitely fast.

0:10:32.980,0:10:35.940
The sound is giving me[br]a good experience on this one.

0:10:35.940,0:10:38.785
It's really a flagship-level phone.

0:10:38.785,0:10:40.324
Even if it's not [br]a gaming smartphone,

0:10:40.324,0:10:42.375
it's still powerful[br]when it comes to gaming.

0:10:42.375,0:10:45.015
The hottest I achieved here[br]was around 43°C

0:10:45.015,0:10:46.699
after 30 minutes of gaming.

0:10:46.699,0:10:48.909
Wuthering Waves,[br]my experience was also good.

0:10:48.909,0:10:51.305
Though at times,[br]I sometimes feel minor frame drops

0:10:51.305,0:10:53.002
when fighting bosses.

0:10:53.002,0:10:57.031
And another thing I liked here[br]is that its response

0:10:57.031,0:10:59.210
is fast on every single touch[br]on this phone.

0:10:59.210,0:11:01.442
Plus, its display is great.

0:11:01.442,0:11:04.315
But one downside[br]when you're playing Wuthering Waves

0:11:04.315,0:11:08.165
on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra[br]is that it's quite hot at 48°C

0:11:08.165,0:11:09.199
after 30 minutes.

0:11:09.199,0:11:12.031
On Farlight 84,[br]you won't have any problems here

0:11:12.031,0:11:13.918
maxing out the graphics.

0:11:13.918,0:11:16.753
One thing I noticed here[br]is that the gaming experience

0:11:16.753,0:11:18.570
is smooth and I almost[br]didn't feel any lags

0:11:18.570,0:11:19.629
along the way.

0:11:19.629,9:59:59.000
Playing for around 30 minutes[br]of ranked matches here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I really enjoyed here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The touch response was fast[br]and the display is good.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I reached 43°C[br]after 30 minutes of gameplay.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On Call of Duty Mobile,[br]it's very doable here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And honestly,[br]I also maxed out its graphics

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it gave me[br]a really good experience here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The display was nice[br]and its sound is loud.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You'll really feel the footsteps[br]coming from the left

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and right.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And its gameplay [br]was also immersive.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The hottest I achieved [br]after 30 minutes of gameplay was 41°C.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Of course, right now[br]we want to highlight the camera

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It starts off with [br]the 50MP main camera sensor

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with OIS that has [br]an aperture of f/1.6.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This one is a Sony LYT900 sensor.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Followed by a 50MP[br]telephoto lens

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that has up to 3x optical zoom[br]which uses

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the Sony IMX858 sensor.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The next one is the 200MP[br]periscope telephoto lens

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of up to 4.3x optical zoom[br]using the Samsung ISOCELL HP9.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And of course,[br]there's a 50MP ultra wide lens

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that has 115° FoV[br]using the Samsung S5KJN5 sensor.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It can shoot you up to 8K video,[br]and its front-facing camera

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is a 32MP shooter[br]which is an OmniVision OV32B sensor

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which can let you shoot[br]up to 4K and 60 FPS.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I've captured so many photos[br]on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I'll show you some[br]of the best ones

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that I've captured here,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
starting off with some[br]of the outdoor shots that we got.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now taking a look[br]at this very simple shot,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would tell you [br]that it's so beautiful.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would say it's so cinematic[br]to my eyes.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And looking at all [br]of the details here

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on the building,[br]it looks very sharp.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Especially on its clouds,[br]when you zoom it in,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you'll see there are[br]so many details preserved.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One of the good things I like[br]about it is that

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's not oversaturated[br]unlike its predecessors

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like the 13 Ultra which tends [br]to oversaturate it a bit,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even the 14 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But on the 15 Ultra,[br]it preserved it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to be a little bit more natural[br]compared to its predecessors

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which I hope we'd be able[br]to make a comparison soon.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But this time around,[br]we'll just simple concentrate

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on the 15 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This shot looks very nice[br]though the sky looks

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a little bit saturated[br]but I love the way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
how it was presented[br]on this photo.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is another great shot[br]that we got on outdoors.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It looks very nice,[br]especially on the details

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the clouds,[br]I really like to look at it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We've played with[br]its different lenses

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I was able to get[br]some really nice shots on it.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this is an ultra wide shot,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
1x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
2x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
3x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
4.3x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
10x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
30x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
60x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and a 120x zoom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So honestly, after 120x zoom,[br]it's still very readable

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and I believe this [br]is being calibrated using AI

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on the Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On indoors, [br]the lowlight photography shots

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that you'll get[br]on the 15 Ultra are also great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And taking a look[br]at this swimsuit,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it looks really nice [br]and very vibrant,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the subject really pops out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When you look [br]at some signages,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when you take a picture of it,[br]it's beautiful,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the PRADA logo pops out.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Even simple shots like this one[br]looks very nice

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and very captivating.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I was able to take[br]a quick snap on the 15 Ultra

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
inside the Xiaomi store[br]and this is how it looks like.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This photo is also sharp.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is probably one[br]of my favorite photos I captured

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
so far on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You can see that its focus[br]on the filament looks great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And blurring all the way [br]to the background

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with the natural blur,[br]the shot on this subject

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
looks very good.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I honestly love this shot.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Plus, if you're trying[br]to take some product photography,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
its focusing is also great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It focuses easily,[br]just point and shoot

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and you get[br]a really nice photo like this one,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it can be put up as a poster.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And taking a look at this shot,[br]the LED lights

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were also captured nicely[br]on the background

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it's not overexposed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And taking a look [br]at some of these food shots,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
honestly, you'll be surprised[br]on how good its camera is.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This shot was captured well.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Even though it's lowlight,[br]you'll really be amazed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with the food shots that I captured [br]on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just take a look at some[br]of these really nice shots

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that I got.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you're trying to take[br]some night photography,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's also equally nice.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was able to perform.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I was able to take[br]some quick snaps

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
while I'm on the road,[br]and we've got some nice shots.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So while on outdoors,[br]I was able to take

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
some night photography[br]using the different lens.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And starting off[br]with the normal lens,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this is how it looks like.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
2x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
3x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
4.3x,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and this is a 10x zoom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You'll see that the signage[br]still looks great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this is a 30x zoom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
A 60x zoom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And a 120x zoom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
You'll see that the lights[br]are kind of overblown

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
when it comes to the 60x[br]and 120x zoom.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But on the 30x zoom,[br]it's still pretty much good.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'll just show you this footage[br]while I was playing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with the different [br]zooming capabilities.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Sami Luo said that [br]at 30x zoom at night,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the subject gets overexposed[br]which I think

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I kind of noticed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But when I took the shot[br]and showed you earlier,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it looks very decent.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
One of the major improvement,[br]for me personally,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is the selfie camera.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On the Xiaomi 14 Ultra,[br]I was still not satisfied

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with its selfie camera.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There are times it's smudgy, [br]there are times

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it's not that good[br]and it's soft.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But on the 15 Ultra,[br]it has improved,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
personally, significantly [br]I would say.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
My 14 Ultra was my daily driver[br]and getting some

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of these sample shots[br]on outdoors,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I'm really impressed.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Honestly, the photos[br]are very sharp.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Just a bit of touch up[br]on my face and it's almost perfect

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for the photos that we got[br]from the front-facing camera.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
If you bring it indoors,[br]surprisingly, the photos

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that I got were great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Normally on the 14 Ultra,[br]you'll get some a little bit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
more smudgy and soft photos,[br]but on the 15 Ultra,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
even on lowlight,[br]it's still able to give me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
some nice snaps,[br]and that's probably one

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the biggest improvement[br]that I noticed here comparing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to the 14 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And this was a quick snap[br]inside the Xiaomi store

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
inside the Megamall.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And I was able to take[br]a groupie shot testing out

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
its ultra wide on the selfie[br]which, for me,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
looks pretty nice.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When you're vlogging using[br]the front-facing camera,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I would say that on outdoors,[br]it's clear,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the transition is smooth,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
you won't have any problems[br]even if you're just using

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
your bare hands.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And on indoor,[br]well, honestly I'm impressed

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with its video capabilities[br]on indoors.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
On Xiaomi 14 Ultra,[br]you'd get a little bit more smudgy

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but here, well, it's sharp.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
For the rear camera,[br]needless to say,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the 4K 60 FPS here is sharp[br]and you can even use

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
a 4K 120Hz or an 8K video[br]on this rear camera

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And you'd be able to capture[br]some nice still moments.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Even if the chef is just cooking,[br]the shot on the 15 Ultra

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is still great.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Now guys, what's my verdict[br]on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra?

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Honestly, this is by far[br]the best camera phone

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that Xiaomi has[br]coming off from the Xiaomi 14 Ultra,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of course.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And being able to review[br]the vivo X200 Pro Mini,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
this phone can easily compete.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Probably, for me,[br]everything that I'm looking for

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
is already here.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It's just that there's a little bit[br]more optimization

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that's needed for it[br]to have a smoother experience

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
But I'm so happy[br]with the improvement

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of its camera performance,[br]especially on its selfie camera.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
