When it comes to imaging flagships, Xiaomi's Ultra series is an unavoidable product. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra released last year, whether it is the quality of software and hardware or the image quality, is still a benchmark product in 2024, and there are very few products that can surpass the 13 Ultra in terms of comprehensive imaging capabilities.
Of course, the Xiaomi Mi 13 Ultra is not without its shortcomings, and what everyone complains about a lot is its portrait mode. In the past, the Xiaomi ultra series has always focused on humanistic photography, and the ability to shoot scenes, objects, and capture is a must in the industry, but at the level of portrait photography, it lacks targeted optimization compared to some products that focus on portrait photography. The improvement of the portrait mode has also become the biggest expectation of Mi fans for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra lives up to the expectations of rice fans. Today, Xiaomi officially posted the second set of samples of the 14 ultra - portrait samples, and the display of this group of samples has completely dispelled people's concerns about the portrait mode of the Xiaomi 14 ultra.
Judging from these samples,Xiaomi Mi 14 ultra can be regarded as giving full play to the advantages of the large amount of light brought by the one-inch outsole sensor and super large aperture,In some scenes that require background blur,The background blur is very shallow,And it is very layered,Change the kind of smearing inherent in the background blur of mobile phone photography in the past,It is not an exaggeration to say that the effect of reaching the SLR level is not exaggerated。 In low-light scenes, the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra can still present a layered sense of light and shadow, with no noticeable noise on the samples, and the transition between light and dark scenes is very natural.
It is worth mentioning that, judging from these examples, the portrait mode of the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra not only captures clearly and captures the layering of light and shadow, but more importantly, these samples have a strong sense of story, which is obviously not something that can be achieved by simply upgrading the hardware. Xiaomi also gave the answer in today's warm-up.
The Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra brings Xiaomi's new computational photography platform, the Xiaomi AISP. The Xiaomi AISP, which was upgraded from Xiaomi's imaging brain, is the world's first AI large-scale computational photography architecture, and its birth marks the entry of computational photography into the era of platform-level AI. With a computing power of 60 tops per second, the data throughput is even 3 times that of independent ISP image chips from competitors, ultra-high computing power and advanced algorithms, and deep integration of software and hardware, which can achieve full focal length and full scene, high speed and high image quality, and even portraits can be shot continuously. At the same time, the fusion of large optical models has a real dynamic range of more than 16 stops, breaking through the optical limit and the boundaries of traditional algorithms, so that the transition between light and dark is smooth, and the color level is natural, which is the secret of the clear hierarchy of Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra portrait samples.
Of course, the Xiaomi AISP not only adds a lot of points to the Xiaomi Mi 14 Ultra in portraits, but also empowers the 14 Ultra to have several new imaging capabilities that go beyond the limits of optics, and the UltraZoom ultra-long zoom unveiled today is one of them.
The 14 Ultra is the industry's first mobile phone to use the AI device-side large model to create an ultra-long zoom function, which can significantly improve the clarity of the image when shooting at ultra-high magnification above 30x, and can call the AI large model to redraw the original optical data with high precision, which can significantly improve the picture clarity and solve many industry problems that the high-magnification zoom of the image flagship can only look far away and cannot be completed.
In fact,After making up for the relative shortcomings of portraits,Xiaomi ultra series of image capabilities can no longer find an opponent,Xiaomi chose to sacrifice Xiaomi 14 ultra at the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, this image flagship,It is expected to become2024The image capping,Wait for 12 months, let's look back,Is there any image flagship that can surpass Xiaomi 14 ultra,I hope it will not be Xiaomi 15 ultra to break the deadlock。
