Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra beats Huawei P40 Pro in DXOMark rankings

DXOMark has released its camera review for Xiaomi’s latest flagship smartphone, the Mi 10 Ultra, replacing Huawei P40 Pro in the top spot by 2 points. The latter has an overall camera score of 128 points.

Garnering 130 points, the Mi Ultra 10’s  ultra-wide camera “offers the widest field of view”. According to DXOMark’s review, the smartphone has managed to balance between “texture and noise in images captured in dim conditions”. The camera sensors are impressive, achieving good exposures even in extremely low light environments. It also has a “pleasant bokeh effect with strong but natural-looking blur”.

With that being said, the Xiaomi Mi Ultra also gained the new top score for photo, generally delivering high-grade results in various categories.

The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is the new number one in the DXOMARK Camera ranking and deservedly so. In Photo mode it doesn’t show any real weaknesses and delivers class-leading results in several categories. It’s particularly impressive in the wide and zoom sections, making it an ideal choice for those who want a zoom range as big as possible without compromising on image quality.

“It’s also a great tool for mobile videographers, offering excellent overall video quality with efficient stabilization at 4K and a fast 60fps frame rate that makes for super-smooth panning and motion. Overall, if it fits within your budget, the new Xiaomi flagship phone is an easy recommendation for mobile content creators.”

The Mi 10 Ultra is part of the Mi 10 series and has been released to commemorate the company’s 10th anniversary.
