Dumbphones are a hot trend again!
Basic, minimal, simple communication gadgets. Folks might want to reduce distractions and unplug from online services. Before you go and buy a new gadget, you should try to turn your current phone into something more basic first!
Here’s how I would do this!
It’s easily one of the best camera specialist phones of the year, but Xiaomi has made some compromises to the Ultra to keep prices in check. It’s a powerhouse collection of photography technologies, but it’s a very different feel from previous Xiaomi Ultras.
Still, it’s an easy recommend for someone who wants to get more out of a phone camera. If you’re interested in driving a phone camera harder, this just might be the phone for you!
Let me show you why…

The Xiaomi 15 is HERE, and it’s been getting some GREAT updates! It’s EXCEEDINGLY similar to the Xiaomi 14!
Thankfully we’re not seeing a lot of downgrades or part swaps, and we manage those lifestyle upgrades like the fingerprint sensor and the battery capacity!
Still, for how expensive this new 8 Elite chip from Qualcomm is, Xiaomi sent us devices that are scoring behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This is not an optimized experience yet.

Vivo vs Xiaomi! Let’s GO! SORT OF!
AKA How I kinda FAILED at making a proper showdown video!
Expanding on the article I posted a while back, I completely locked up on how to do a SIMPLE comparison between these two phones. They both use the same sensor in a telephoto camera setup, but there are enough differences between the two, I dont think a simple comparison really works here…

The Xiaomi 15 Ultra Photography Kit is here! I feel we can REALLY begin on the Ultra now.
Xiaomi made a splash with the 13 Ultra, introducing a first party camera case and accessory system. It was super functional, but not as durable as I hoped it would be.
Now, two generations later, has Xiaomi addressed the issues we had with the first kit? Can our phones be handled like “legit” cameras now?
