In the past two days, the understanding of Xiaomi 14Ultra has become more and more in-depth (everyone who understands it, I won't pick it out here).
For the comprehensive performance of this mobile phone, the author also has some experience.
Next, I will give you a detailed talk about the Xiaomi 14Ultra on this machine (I am definitely the most complete version on the whole network)
01
The design has been greatly improved, and the grip is better
One of the biggest improvements in the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is the "design", especially the improvement of the frontal appearance.
Everyone should know about this, this time Xiaomi 14Ultra will use a "super micro quad curve" design similar to Xiaomi 14Pro.
Compared with the traditional curved screen of Xiaomi 13Ultra and Xiaomi 12S Ultra, it has made great progress.
The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra has extreme bezel control, equal width of four-sided vision, and the same curvature on all four sides, and it also retains the design texture of the straight-screen model.
In addition, everyone should have seen the current renders of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which is decorated with a circle of Clou de Paris on the round Deco, and a layer of gold decoration underneath.
There are still a lot of small designs and embellishments like this on the Xiaomi 14Ultra, and you can wait for the real machine at the press conference.
Personally, I think that the overall design of this generation is more mature, at least stronger than the 13Ultra, and it is similar to the Xiaomi 12S Ultra.
02
The front bezel controls the slinging of the iPhone 15 Pro Max
The front bezel control of the iPhone 15 Pro Max is good, right?
And Xiaomi Mi 14Ultra directly hangs it, especially in the case of front + white background + highest brightness, put together for comparison, the gap is quite obvious.
03
Super aperture + 1-inch Sensor, the first in the industry.
Do you know what the core value of the outsole CMOS sensor is? In addition to the high perception will be better, the biggest improvement is the bokeh effect.
The better the bokeh effect, the better it will perform in scenes where the subject needs to be highlighted, such as the most commonly used portraits, pets, still lifes, etc.
Seriously, you don't need to have too high shooting and composition skills, as long as the bokeh effect comes out, it will be very good.
However, anyone who has ever played photography knows that it is not only the area of the CMOS sensor that determines the depth of field effect, but also the aperture is also a very important indicator.
The larger the aperture, the more visible the background blur will be, and the subject will stand out.
The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is not only equipped with a 1-inch Sony LYT900 sensor, but also has a large aperture of up to F1.63.
This bokeh effect is quite powerful, and it is very realistic, and there is no trace of the algorithm at all.
For comparison, the Oppo Find X7U is F1.8 and the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra is also F1.8.
In terms of aperture size, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra has a much advantage, and the bokeh effect is very natural and lens-sensitive.
And this time the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra also brings a variable aperture, with a minimum of F1.63 and a maximum of F4.0.
Moreover, the structure of this variable aperture is still a new design, and after checking it, it should be the strongest in the industry at present, which is further than that on Xiaomi 14Pro.
This is currently the only machine on the market with a variable aperture on the one-inch sensor, completely unleashing the performance of the LYT900.
04
The telephoto + macro boost is huge
The most criticized thing about the previous generation Xiaomi 13 Ultra is that there is no telephoto macro.
As a result, the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra can't take macro photos at all, and the experience is very fragmented, and when you get closer, you will directly lose focus.
The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra does not have this regret, even if it is ultra-macro, its performance is very powerful.
And there are some other surprises in this generation of portrait telephoto, you can wait for the press conference.
05
The battery life has finally improved
Honor and OnePlus have both launched new battery materials, and both have upgraded the battery capacity to about 5500 mAh.
On the other hand, on Xiaomi's side, in addition to some low-end models with large batteries, the battery capacity of high-end machines is up to 5000 mAh.
For example, Xiaomi 14ProIt is only 4880mAh, although it is not small, but it does not sound so secure, and the battery life of Xiaomi's high-end machines is also decent, which is unsatisfactory.
The Xiaomi Mi 14Ultra has improved to a great extent, and the battery capacity has finally exceeded 5000 mAh, how big it is, I can't say it for the time being.
But the overall is about 5500 mAh, and a new generation of materials is used, and the volume control is also very good.
Overall, my feeling after using it is that the battery life is indeed a lot stronger. And the fuselage is not heavy either.
Although this is only a small improvement, the experience change is still very good.
06
Video shooting has improved
In terms of video shooting, this generation of Xiaomi 14 Ultra has also made some progress, adding a lot of more practical and professional-looking features, which cannot be described in detail.
But the direction is to focus on the three aspects of zoom, focus tracking and radio, you can guess.
But then again, you don't expect too much either, there is progress, but it's still not enough.
07
The whole machine is not particularly heavy
As I said before, the thickness of the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is 9mm+, but it is a little more than 9mm, and if you are used to using high-end phones, this thickness is nothing.
As for the weight, I specifically compared it with the iPhone15ProMax in my hand, and the two are basically the same, and even the latter is a little more pressing.
The specific parameters still cannot be revealed.
08
Satellite communication + IP68 + USB3.2 and so on
As a high-end machine, these basic high-end machines have exclusive configurations.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra supports satellite communication in all series, and adopts a new scheme, which is a generation ahead of the Huawei Mate60Pro.
But because it's an unpopular feature, I won't say too much here.
09
Dual-material version, the gospel of the hated leather party
The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra is not only made of technical leather, but also has other materials.
Xiaomi really listens to persuasion,Xiaomi 13UltraAfter being scolded for the whole system of plain leather,This generation is directly on other materials for consumers to choose。
10
There is a titanium version + photography set
There is also a titanium version, as well as the previously received camera kit, and the functions of the camera kit will be further optimized.
The above are some of the points worth everyone's attention for the Xiaomi 14Ultra, and overall the preparation of the Xiaomi 14Ultra this time is still very sufficient.
End hope it helps
