Well-known blogger Marques Brownlee (Marques Brownlee), known under the pseudonym MKBHD, who has more than 15 million subscribers on YouTube, has published an extensive review in English of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra smartphone camera.

We remind you that the manufacturer does not plan to sell the device in other regions, the new product is on sale in China. The biggest feature of the Xiaomi Mi 12S Ultra is that it is equipped with a one-inch IMX989 detector with a resolution of 50 MP, developed together with Sony. Its pixel size is 3.2 µm, providing excellent noise suppression, high dynamic range and excellent detail. All three rear lenses support 8K video recording.

Marques Brownlee pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of the Xiaomi 12S Ultra camera phone, and also posted many photos and videos. It is worth starting with the fact that the 50-megapixel camera with the largest image sensor in the smartphone market is not in the center of the round module, but on the left. In the center is an ultra-wide-angle camera.

“Yes, this camera is phenomenal and really good in most scenarios,” says Marques Brownlee. The main 50-megapixel camera offers excellent detail and “can take really good pictures where other flagships would take good pictures.”

The speed with which the autofocus system and the shutter are activated deserve special mention. The camera allows you to take clear pictures of objects in motion without smudging. In night scenarios, the flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone is clearly losing to new products.

The smartphone has come under criticism for algorithms that work strangely when recording videos. To put it succinctly: one is displayed in the viewfinder, during smooth zooming and switching between lenses, and the picture is shifted in the final video.

Also, the scanner did not like that the main camera blurred the leading edge of the image too much when shooting nearby objects, forcing it to switch to completely different color parameters, extended dynamic range, and therefore a wide-angle camera. on.
