In our tests, overall photo quality was excellent, with a wide dynamic range, low noise and nice colors. However, the Xiaomi lagged behind the competition in some areas. It did not offer a zero shutter lag and the levels of captured detail were lower than on the best devices in our ranking. The 14 Ultra achieved the best results for tele zoom to date and was particularly impressive at close and medium range tele settings. However, at the opposite end of the zoom spectrum, ultra-wide results lagged behind other flagships in some test categories.
