Xiaomi 15 Ultra Leica Camera Test: King of Zoom Performance but Fails to Break Into DxOMark's Top 10
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra's Leica cameras demonstrate exceptional zoom performance, capturing detailed images across various focal lengths with a high dynamic range and excellent texture and noise levels. However, the analysis revealed inconsistencies in image quality, with successive photos often failing to deliver the same results. Additionally, artefacts like ghosting and flares were observed, despite Xiaomi's marketing claims of Leica Ultrapure Optics.
- The fact that Xiaomi's cameras excel in zoom performance but struggle with consistency and artefacts raises questions about the brand's emphasis on aesthetics over technical precision.
- Can Xiaomi adapt its camera software to address these issues and reclaim a spot among the top smartphone camera performers, or are there fundamental limitations to Leica technology that cannot be overcome?
