Pros
Incredible photography performance
Stunning vegan leather design
Gorgeous curved screen
90W fast charging
Top performance
Cons
Expensive
HyperOS software is a mixed bag
Our Verdict
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is the best smartphone for photography you can buy, even without the optional Photography Kit. It’s great in almost all other areas, but you’ve really got to be all in on the cameras to justify the high price.
