Ranked 22: Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra front camera fails DxOMark test

 

Back in  August, Xiaomi introduced the Mi  10 Ultra smartphone , the main camera of which  is still considered one of the  best on the  market (second in  the DxOMark ranking). But  with the  front-end, things are much worse.

Not  really

DxOMark experts tested the selfie camera Xiaomi Mi  10 Ultra and  were not  in  delight. Among its  advantages are usually accurate exposure on faces; neutral white balance in most conditions; effective video stabilization; well controlled video noise; accurate video exposure; Pleasant skin tones in bright light and indoor video ; good detail in video clips in bright light.      

But there are  more cons. These are limited dynamic range, clipped highlights in  photos and  videos, visible noise, especially in low light, hue shift, glare, color quantization artifacts in  photos and  videos, inappropriate flash exposure, unnatural blur effect in  portrait mode, facial details that are lost on  video, especially in low light, unnatural colors and  skin tones sometimes appearing in  video, insufficiently effective video stabilization, jelly effect, unnatural skin tones  in low light video.

Evaluation

As a  result, Xiaomi Mi  10 Ultra received only 88 points: 86 for  photos and  91 for  videos. And  this is only 22nd  place in the  overall DxOMark ranking.

“ The quality of still images of selfies is  largely  unchanged  compared to  its little brother, the Mi  10 Pro: it  delivers properly exposed, detailed photos in  optimal conditions, but  its dynamic range can  not match that of the  best competitors and  results in  frequent clipped highlights when challenges a wide range of brightness. Portrait mode is a little disappointing. On the  other hand, the evaluation of the video at  Mi  10 Ultra is much better than the  Mi  10 Pro, in  the main due to the improved stabilization " , -  summed up the DxOMark experts.
