Making a comparison between the main cameras on the Vivo X200 Ultra and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is really tricky. It’s easier to compare when a lot of the specs are similar. When we change camera sensors sizes AND equivalent focal lengths, it’s a lot to balance.

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!

Wouldn’t you know it, we got a DAY ONE patch on the reveal of this phone! Any review out now is ALREADY OBSOLETE! HURRAH! We get to do DOUBLE the work in covering this phone!

I have a LOT of thoughts. Let me explain… Continue reading “Xiaomi 15 Ultra vs Vivo X200 Pro: 200MP Telephoto Camera BATTLE!”
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?

14T Pro Review! Xiaomi has a new “Pro” phone out, and it might be one of the most powerful of the year, at ANY price! This year we get some new features, and the incredible Dimensity 9300.
So we have to ask, what makes a T series phone different? Continue reading “Xiaomi 14T Pro Review: What Makes a “T” Different?”
