It took FOREVER to get all the photo and video samples, and I waited to add a section on the awesome Photography Kit, but it's finally here. It's a 58 minute phone camera review!
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is a MONSTER camera, but this beast can be DIFFICULT to tame...
Aside: Brands 1–14 listed above are available here in the #Philippines, even though some of those were made exclusively for certain countries and regions (and you wouldn't even see the Philippines mentioned in news and wikis).
Many of these brands already overtook #Apple, #Motorola, #Nokia, and even #Samsung in many countries, as far as sales are concerned.
So the question is:
If the accusations and assumptions against these companies are true, where do we draw the line?
#SilentSunday Stopped by at a #creek (during off season) on the way from Lengpui Airport to #Aizawl city. You need permission to go down here as locals from Lengpui town catch fish, crabs, and prawns during the monsoon season and are quite ‘possessive’ about it. Notice the two plastic water bottles possibly left by some kids who must’ve used it for ‘spotting’ - a term used for a location (spot) to have beer/whiskey, smoke weed, and ‘chill’ (as they say).
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra is now available internationally, here's a quick revisit of my camera tour. Xiaomi doing something unique with these sensors... https://youtu.be/5vBz5h7wPSM

Lo usé en el #Xiaomi Mi 8 hasta que cesó su soporte. Para mí, mucho mejor que #LineageOS pero sin alcanzar la eficiencia de seguridad y privacidad que ofrece #DivestOS
Poco launched the F5! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vladR6TzyuA
This phone is on early-bird sale for under $400, and features a new "mid-range" chip from Qualcomm that's RIGHT ON THE HEELS of premium performance phones from last year.
The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 is a HUGE shot in the arm for mid-priced devices...
I know you can't charge a phone just from a tiny solar panel, but as an extension? Over the course of an entire day, surely it would add a few percent.
I love shooting candids, and it's these little slice of life photos that really help show off how much phone cameras have improved. Shot from the telephoto on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, about an instant before the three ran off for the playground. I hope my daughter remembers what they were talking about when she gets older. 🥰 https://flic.kr/p/2oxj7ia
