I just like the depth of field from the optical lens, what is your observation regarding the photo outcome? Thanks
Rather than the lens, i'd say the DoF is largely attributed to the large sensor for the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. The Huawei P60 Pro has a faster lens (wider aperture) but negated by a smaller sensor.
Photo outcome especially, it can be frustrating when you're taking close ups, mainly because of these few reasons.
1) Rather far minimum focusing distance, you can't go up close like a typical iPhone
2) Too much bokeh - imagine you're taking photo of a plate of food at an angle; half the plate will be out of focus unless you stop it down to F/4.0 manually from F/1.9; only then it's usable.
Negative points aside, it's really really artistic if you know what you're doing. The 'Leica Authentic' mode is flat enough to be manipulated in post such as Adobe LR, although not at iPhone level
Photo outcome is very usable, I always find Xiaomi's colour science somewhat decent, ever since my first encounter with the brand with the Mi 4i. Which is atypical of a Chinese phone where they usually delivers punchy colours and over-sharpening in their photos.
As i'm getting the iPhone 15 Pro Max, i'm still contemplating to stick as planned with a duo iPhone combination - great for seamless integration, or do a hybrid Mi 13 Ultra - iPhone 15 Pro Max combo - best camera duo in my hands
