Information about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra phone is slowly but surely leaking, and its release is only a few months away. If I take the appearance of your predecessor as a basis. The Xiaomi 13 Ultra was released last April, so the new one is expected slowly. But now the latest alleged leak focuses on the main camera, there is even a picture of the cover of the camera unit.
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra, like its predecessor, will debut with variable aperture settings. Even with the intentional conditional mode, they will probably come up with something like this. The 13 Ultra's main camera can vary its aperture from f/1.9 to f/4.0. But since all cameras are 50 MP, it's not just the aperture that can be changed, but the optics too. This will probably be retained in the new one, but the main camera aperture range will be wider.
Again, I rely on the post of a Chinese blogger @熊猫很禿然 (very bald panda :-D ), which It is about the variable aperture interval of the Xiaomi 14 Ultra main camera. According to the blogger: “14u: main camera f/1.63-f/4.0 variable aperture, periscope f/2.5“. If the resolution remains, i.e. 50 MP, and we get a f/1.63 - f/4.0 selectable aperture value, it will greatly improve its capabilities.
What is the aperture value?
The aperture, also known as the diaphragm, is a structure of metal plates or blades inside the lens, which can be opened and closed to control the amount of light reaching the camera's sensor. It can best be compared to a pupil, the wider it is the more light it lets in.
- F/1.63 = Lots of light coming in - lifeless background - shallow depth of field
- F/4.0 = Less light coming in - sharper background - high depth of field
In addition to the main camera, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra will also have a camera with periscope zoom. It will have an aperture of f/2.5, which is a medium value if I'm going by the other camera. No word yet on the zoom capability, but if they're going to be good it will be at least 5x.
