Xiaomi uses a 60-ish lens, crop to 75mm. Upscale back to 50MP.
The narrower is FOV, the harder is to use larger camera. If the lens was real 75mm, without periscope xiaomi would need to use even smaller like 1/3.2".

Only xiaomi.

Furkan, 22 Feb 2024remember it's not impossible with 1300 dollarsYeah. Xiaomi would surely sell better phone that costed $100 more to be made for $300 less.

rizki1, 22 Feb 2024they sold more than Asus, Sony, HTC combined.I doubt mi 13 ultra sold more than rog 7 pro or 1v.
Anyone with more than $800 to buy phone in China chooses huawei or apple.
No surprise BBK is getting rid of foldables.

Part of me likes the design, another part of me is horrified by the Oreo abomination on the back.

is this pricing for the Chinese model or the global model? If the Chinese model is priced like this then the global model will be more expensive in most countries than the iPhone 15 Pro Max it seems, just like last year. The price could've gone down due to no HUGE change this year apart from the main cam. The battery uplift is welcome though, last year's Ultra needed more juice for some reason. Very interested in seeing how the main cam performs though, I don't think the difference between other 1 inch sensors (f/1.63 on the Xiaomi vs others with f/1.8) is going to make any huge difference, I do think the larger range of the variable aperture is a very nice addition. Just wish it went up to like f/10 or something since this sensor is massive and at that point no one would need to take close up shots with the UW lens. The range of the change in aperture is still less than Huawei and Huawei uses a smaller sensor so it can take sharper shots, idk man Xiaomi should've had a larger range because this phone is like a super super small update. Should've called it the Xiaomi 13S Ultra.

The x3 telephoto module could have been better: the much cheaper Realme 12 Pro+ offers a 1/2" size and the Ralme GT5 Pro 1/1.56"... The Xiaomi 14 Ultra integrates a 1/2.5" x3 sensor. ..

Let's see if Xiaomi gets on the cart of 7 years of updates and then carries them out

Looks great, I want it.
So it should be going for similar price to S24 Ultra in Europe? Perhaps up to like 100€ more?

"an outrageous 474% more than the Pro."
That's related to the "3.2x" camera. (1.4/1.0)² * (2.8/1.8)² = 4.74 , so not 474% more, but 474% as much (374% more), if the 3.2x camera uses the full sensor area. As the 15 Pro's tele likely has a slightly smaller field of view, it should be also slightly less than 374% more light from an object per exposure time.

"the 120mm f/2.5 captures 196% more light than the Pro Max"
That's only correct, if the 120mm camera uses the full sensor area.

"f/1.63 and f/4.0 here, which will let up to 136% more light than the f/1.9 - f/4.0 lens of the 13 Ultra. "
That's wrong. Not 136% more, but 36% more light per exposure time. (1.9/1.63)² = 1.36

David 040882, 22 Feb 2024Damn, $800 in China. We're getting robbed, no joke wit... moreNo, we're not. We get what we pay for. European VAT, retail cost, storage cost, warranties and licences.
Also, and I stress I can't say this for certain, but I assume a lot a the future costs of updates etc can be lower on the Chinese one as there is no google play and Xiaomi's app store is defualt, meaning all ad/app revenue covers a lot for Xiaomi in their domestic market. The same revenue in Europe/US goes straight to Google, hence Xiaomi has to bake in more in the sale amount as they have little to no revenue from the devices after point of sale outside of China.
In most countries it is fully possible to import from China, but of course this means you don't get the same local warranty, or possibly even any type of warranty, and you have to pay local VAT most likely which will raise the total quickly.
