Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Comparison | 2021 after many updates! By Grant Likes Tech

How's it going here welcome back to my continued camera comparison series with the Xiaomi mi 10 ultra you've already seen it go, total tour with the galaxy s 21 ultra and Google Pixel 5. So I'm just going to continue here with the big three and the iPhone 12 Pro max. So this will be another interesting comparison with hardware versus software. You've got the Xiaomi that has its 108 megapixel camera, it's large ultra-wide angle sensor, and it's periscope zoom, lens and apple. Has this tried and true 12 megapixel camera setup, and it's software image processing? So we're going to see in this one if apple's camera hardware is starting to get long in the tooth and is the larger sensor is going to be the wave of the future or is apple holding its grip, because it has this great software image processing so like I always do, I'm going to show you a bunch of photos and videos in both good and low light conditions, help you decide which of these two camera systems might be best for you, so check out all the photos and videos, and let me know what you think so everyone so here's, some rare video from the mi10 ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro max. This is the ultra-wide angle lens at 4k 30 frames per second on each.

I just want you to check out the field of view, the color reproduction and all the differences between these two ultra-wide angle, lenses here in this particular scene. Lots of greens, really nice blue, clear blue skies today, so should be able to see some differences if any between these two. Here again, this is the ultra-wide angle, lens, and I'll. Come right back with the main lens, so here we go the main wide angle lens here on each I'll pan around. So you feel for what this looks like here compared to the ultra-wide angle lens that you just saw again very clear day.

So everything is very clear view: no kind of glare from the sun, it's out of view, trees, everything very clear view, no shadows on them, and I'll pan up, and I'll pan out to the right. So we can test the zoom on that cell tower with both of these phones. So we got two and a half telephoto there on the iPhone, and I can push into about two and a half times here on the mite ultra and max seven times digital zoom there on the iPhone, and we can move all the way up into max zoom here six times on the mate 10 ultra, so I'll back both of them out slowly. Here, let's get to one times on the mi 10, and we'll go back tap one times on the iPhone, and we'll test, autofocus here on the post. First, with the mute, 10 ultra focused up really quickly and refocused away, so autofocus here is really nice on the v10 ultra really fast.

Really, nice both background blur clear, subject: separation there and with the iPhone now, which has always been speedy and still is really nice focus and autofocus here with an iPhone as well and actually some pretty decent both, not quite as strong as the large sensor on the meter. Ultra though, and we'll walk down the stairs a test stabilization here in 4k give you a feel for what that looks like here on both of these phones, as I walk down the path, and we'll stop right about here and pan up into the sky and into the trees. Just so, I can see how everything changes with the lighting conditions here: foreign heaven, so here's some front-facing video from the mutant ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro max and right off the bat you'll notice that the meat launcher has a much tighter crop. Much tighter field of view there, so you're going to fit less in the frame than the iPhone and so like. I usually do.

I'm starting out in some fairly even lighting conditions, to give you a feel for what each of these front-facing cameras can do in some optimal light, and so I'll go ahead and step out more into the sun here. So you can see as it gets harsher what the image quality starts to look like here, and I'll start to pan around. So you can see how the changing light conditions affect the video quality, the exposure, all those things here. So I'm here with the sun in front of me now you can see what the background looks like it's actually not too bad. The greens are a little hyped up on the m10 ultra compared to the iPhone at this point, and we'll keep padding around.

So you see what this looks like here and now that I'm more in the direct line of sun, which is going to be more behind me, we'll start to see what that does to the exposure there on each really, not too bad, considering but um. Just something to note and how that looks there. So I'll go ahead and pan this way, and we'll start walking to test stabilization as well. So you can see what that looks like here again. This is at 1080p 30 frames per second, because that is the max resolution and frame rates on the mi10 ultra.

Of course, the iPhone can go all the way up to 4k 60 frames per second, if you wanted to, so there's a quick comparison on the front-facing cameras between the mutant, ultra and f12 pro max, so here's some low-light video from the rear-facing cameras from the me10 ultra and iPhone 12 Pro max. This is the ultra-wide angle, lenses on each at 4k, 30 frames per second, so I'll, just pan around. To give you a feel for what these ultra-wide angle lenses look like and how they compare here, you can see how they're dealing with that really bright streetlight, actually pretty well, not flaring it out too badly, and I'll pan over here, I like to show this off. There are some trees above the rooftops there that you can't really see because they blend in against the skyline, and you're gonna, see what happens when I switch into the main lens coming up here so just hold on, and we're back with the main wide angle lenses here on each and, as you can see, they're brightening up the scene a lot more, and you can actually see those trees. Now, against that skyline they're lifting the shadows and giving a lot more definition there.

So you can actually see them now versus where they blended in a lot more with that skyline before, and I'll pan around over here to the right. So you can see what it looks like here in the bright street right now, so they're going to flare them that light out a little more. This time the metal is doing it a bit more than the iPhone is right now and of course, everything else just appears to be a lot brighter here, and I'll go ahead and pan over here, and we'll start walking to that stabilization, as well as to see how these main wide-angle lenses deal with less optimal lighting conditions. So obviously that was perfect lighting lots of light around us and, as you walk this way, it's getting a lot darker, so you can see how it handles much darker conditions, as well as what the stabilization looks. Like you'll, probably see more jitters here in low light from walking around and already as I turn the corner, you can see it's getting a lot darker, although the phones are doing a pretty decent job of trying to brighten up the scene here, a lot more than what I'm seeing with my own eyes, and I think the mutant, which is doing that a little more, at least from what I can see in the viewfinder, and so as I pan up into the night sky.

You can see what that looks like there's some light pollution up here, so it's not completely pitch black, but they are trying to brighten it up a little and the meat and ultra a little more than the iPhone, and I'll pan over here to the left, where there's a good blend of darkness and some lighting here. So it's a maybe a mixture of a lighting scenario where you've got some pretty dark alloy, with some lights to kind of accent things. So you can see what that looks like here in this kind of lighting, condition and scenario. So there is a 4k clip here from the rear-facing cameras in I got low-light heat. Let's go ever so.

Here's some low-light video from the front-facing cameras in some pretty optimal light conditions. I'd like to start here, because I want to show you what each of these front-facing cameras can do in some good light and giving it every opportunity to produce the best possible footage here. So this is at full HD 1080p, 30 frames per second, which is the max resolution and frame rate from the mi10 ultra, the iPhone 12. Pro mask can shoot up to 4k 60 frames per second, but I want to keep everything even here and so, as you can see, there are lights to the left and to the right of me as well as behind me. You can see how they're doing there and off the bat you'll notice that the mutant ultra has a much tighter field of view.

It's going to fit a lot less in the frame than the iPhone here. So let's start walking to that stabilization. So you can see what that looks like here from the front facing cameras and also pay attention to any kind of micro jitters. That's probably going to happen a little more here in some low light than it was in the daylight footage and, as you walk this way as you can see, it's starting to get darker, but there's also fountain to my right. So I can see and test out the microphones to see how they handle and cancel out that background noise against the sound of my voice here, and we'll pause here and pan around.

So I can see what the really bright streetlights look like behind me and how they're handling that, and actually both of these phones are hanging out pretty well. I've seen other phones flare that out a lot more here, and so let's go here and pause more in this darker areas to get a direct comparison of what these front cameras look like here in this scene, but do let me know what you thought about the photos and videos from the 10 ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro max. Do you think the iPhone 12 Pro max is trying to show its age or you and do you think phones like the mutant ultra with its more advanced camera hardware, are starting to catch up and even maybe even surpassing phones like the iPhone 12 Pro max? Let me let you think which one you preferred, and we'll continue our conversation in the comments section and as always, thanks for watching you.
