Optimus Prime

@ISAQUES81 @karo_yard It’s possible that it might be a deliberate choice to allow the highlights to clip. Personally I think it looks better than the overly flat photos that most smartphones give nowadays

Galaxy S26 Ultra vs Xiaomi 17 Ultra - Main Camera Shots * I don't know why, even with LOFIC technology, Xiaomi can't deliver better HDR here. * I've heard from some reviewers that Samsung has the most powerful HDR so far. Is that true? Credits: @karo_yard

@bluevelyz To be honest they do very much look like typical smartphone photos

"what camera do you use Sony? Fuji?" "Camera??"

@EustachyMotyka2 @ISAQUES81 @karo_yard It’s oversharpened and overly flat due to an aggressive HDR implementation

@ISAQUES81 @karo_yard No more Samsung. But to the point; the X17U's image is vivid and vibrant, the Samsung's image is _just_ vibrant. It's missing that something that makes a good photo. Not eye-catching, but good. I can't quite put my finger on it.

@ISAQUES81 @karo_yard Oof this isn’t even close, it’s the Xiaomi by a landslide

@VamsiBatthala @jan_agrs @xiaomi_Gcc @Xiaomi_PH @XiaomiSupport @XiaomiIndonesia @OPPOIndonesia @OPPOMalaysia @leica_camera @Hasselblad Because Xiaomi is one of the only brands that goes for a realistic look instead of a flat HDR look like the mainstream brands. It gives the images more depth and contrast and is considered a good thing by real photographers

@OptimusPrime088 @jan_agrs @xiaomi_Gcc @Xiaomi_PH @XiaomiSupport @XiaomiIndonesia @OPPOIndonesia @OPPOMalaysia @leica_camera @Hasselblad maybe or maybe not but this vignette kind of effect I have seen in Xiaomi Ultras atelast for the past couple of years & no one in among the likes of Apple, Samsung, Vivo, Oppo does it.

Xiaomi 17 Ultra vs OPPO Find X9 Pro Leica Authentic vs Master Mode What do you think? #xiaomilaunch #Leica #Hasselblad

@VamsiBatthala @jan_agrs @xiaomi_Gcc @Xiaomi_PH @XiaomiSupport @XiaomiIndonesia @OPPOIndonesia @OPPOMalaysia @leica_camera @Hasselblad It sounds more like you’re a fan of the typical smartphone look, I’m afraid dslr’s and mirrorless cameras will disappoint you despite being better

@OptimusPrime088 @jan_agrs @xiaomi_Gcc @Xiaomi_PH @XiaomiSupport @XiaomiIndonesia @OPPOIndonesia @OPPOMalaysia @leica_camera @Hasselblad No, I have seen this Vignette effect in 15 Ultra too. The image above was captured in broad day light and the Xiaomi one's gives a feel like it was captured at night

@Cartidise That’s a difference of 0.097 stops, completely negligible in real life. Personally I’d rather take the native full res photos from the X300 Ultra’s tele. What was more impressive was the 1/1.28” 83mm f2.4 camera of the Pura 80 Ultra 👀

wow, so even after cropping to 85mm, the Find X9 Ultra’s 3X captures 6.5% more light than X300 Ultra’s native 85mm X9U: 1/1.28-inch f/2.2 70mm 3.5X crop factor effective aperture at 70mm: 3.5 x 2.2 = f/7.7 effective aperture at 85mm: 3.5 x 1.21 (cropped to 85mm) x 2.2 = f/9.32 X300U: 1/1.4-inch f/2.55 85mm 3.78X crop factor effective aperture: 3.78 x 2.55 = f/9.64

@Cartidise I don’t think 10x is an optical range phones should be aiming for tbh. Stick to portrait focal lengths like somewhere between 85 to 135mm optically, imo. That way larger sensors can be used with wide apertures

I see a lot of idiots complaining about the use of JN5 sensor on the Find X9 Ultra’s 230mm f/3.5 10X lens This phone is literally peak, with the best main camera, best 3X, & 1/2” UW How do you want the engineers to fit a 1/1.4” 10X in there? Use some fucking brain

@rider_r18355 @sondesix It can replace a low end compact point and shoot, particularly the ones with small 1/2.3” sensors. However it’s not a proper alternative to the 1 inch type compacts due to them having full optical zoom, and it can’t replace midrange interchangeable-lens cameras

@sondesix Can it replace a beginner or midrange digital camera?

Leica Leitzphone by Xiaomi is essentially the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but with several nice changes. What makes Leitzphone special: ✅ A customisable, rotatable camera ring ✅ Two Leica essential looks: M9 & M3 ✅ Several bokeh styles in portrait mode ✅ Some exclusive frames/watermarks ✅ CAI content credentials ✅ A more refined design But honestly, spending that much more is not worth it when you can buy the regular 17 Ultra. You'll get ~95% of the experience with the 17 Ultra.

@VamsiBatthala @jan_agrs @xiaomi_Gcc @Xiaomi_PH @XiaomiSupport @XiaomiIndonesia @OPPOIndonesia @OPPOMalaysia @leica_camera @Hasselblad It’s not vignette, it just renders shadows true to life instead of artificially boosting them like most phones do

@jan_agrs @xiaomi_Gcc @Xiaomi_PH @XiaomiSupport @XiaomiIndonesia @OPPOIndonesia @OPPOMalaysia @leica_camera @Hasselblad At first sight I liked 17 Ultra's one, but after observing closely it feels like X9 Pro's is true to life as 17 Ultra's feels like it added Vignette effect.

@Wvisioncreation Everyone here's praising the Night ON photo but to me it looks horribly denoised into a watercolor painting. The details in the Night OFF photo look the most realistic imo. I suspect the Night ON photo is also overexposed compared to real life but people just think bright = good

S26 Ultra vs. S25 Ultra | 30 Auto 1- S26 Ultra Night OFF 2- S26 Ultra Night ON 3- S25 Ultra no Night icon to on or off Which one do you prefer?

@Wvisioncreation @salsstar Omg is that...portrait mode? It looks so garbage

@salsstar Completely wrong bro, Expert RAW always faster shutter speed than default mode in auto settings and also you can adjust shutter speed manually, i will make a full article about fast capture Here's S25 Ultra

What’s really going on here? 🤔 Chinese phones: aggressive AI processing X Tech: “We need that. Samsung is behind.” Samsung: more balanced processing X Tech: “Scamsung AI. Fake photography.” iPhone: dull colors Samsung: vibrant Chinese brands: extra saturation X Tech: iPhone → “Natural colors.” Samsung → “Fake oversaturation.” Now Samsung reduces saturation vs older models → X Tech: “Samsung colors are dull.” So which one is it? Natural… or vibrant? These double standards are getting boring. 😅 , Shot On S26 Ultra 1x main camera

@xJohnnyManueLx Just looked into it, looks like it has much better OIS and it’s better integrated with Vivo’s BlueImage chip for better colour accuracy and better HDR. Definitely seems significant enough to call it an upgrade

@xJohnnyManueLx What tweaks tho? Might be significant

When i said Vivo is lazy and recycling old hardware and the only upgrade is the main sensor many got butt hurt,enjoy the Vivo X200 Ultra+ with the same lyt 818 and HP9 sensor 😎 Xiaomi continuously zoom,Oppo and Huawei dual periscope and 10x optical 📸

@ISAQUES81 @elrincondechina Looks like an issue with the OIS tbh

@MKBHD Two devices playing completely different games, and one brand is dumb enough to make fun of the other for not playing the same game

Hot take: it has never been more important in history to have REAL photos and videos come from smartphone cameras

@Sankew06 It’s not a diving boars trackpad, it can be clicked anywhere. Just missing the force recognition. It’s not as bad as it sounds

no force touch trackpad is a huge miss imo, don't know why they cut corners there

i don't care what anyone says, but the MacBook Neo is not worth it -Only 8GB RAM -No Touch ID on the base model -No Backlit keys -No force touch trackpad, it's a diving board trackpad -Weak I/O you should probably get a M2, M3 or M4 MacBook Air at a discount instead.

@rshalmir @p4r1hh @LeakerApple “Retina” only refers to a pixel density greater than what can be distinguished at a normal viewing distance, none of the other stuff. “Liquid” retina is just a retina display with curved corners

This is the MacBook Neo's competition btw 😭
