In July, Xiaomi launched its latest flagship device, the Xiaomi 12S Ultra exclusively in the Chinese market. The device was highly praised by reviewers for its camera performance. Now, a couple of months after the launch, the device has finally gone through the DxOMark camera testing. So, let’s check out the results.
The Xiaomi 12S Ultra has managed to take fifth place on DxOMark’s global rankings for smartphone cameras. It has scored 138 points in the test, knocking iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max out of the top 5, both of which have 137 points.
The device is praised for its excellent overall image quality in most use cases, and its versatility, offering two different image signatures for users to choose from. Low light imaging is also a strong point, with the camera offering a wide dynamic range in night mode. The ultra-wide and zoom cameras provide excellent images at all distances, particularly long-range. The camera also has an excellent performance in video mode, offering extended dynamic range, natural texture rendering, and good exposure.
All that said, the camera sometimes lacks consistency, resulting in disparities among images, even sometimes between consecutive shots. Also, the preview does not always match the final captured image. Other than that, the camera struggles with very challenging light situations like highly contrasted scenes.
