Camera Face-Off: We Pit Smartphones From Xiaomi, Oppo, and Honor to Find a Winner

The best camera is always the one you have with you. Interestingly, the top Chinese phones today have crazy good camera hardware; namely, large sensors that promise to upgrade the quality of the photos captured on a phone. But to find out which phone befits the crown, and how these large sensors stack up, I conducted a camera shootout with the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Oppo Find X7 Ultra, and the Honor Magic 6 Pro. Here’s a quick breakdown of the main camera specs: Xiaomi 14 Ultra : 50-MP main camera, 50-MP ultrawide, 50-MP telephoto, 50-MP periscope telephoto : 50-MP main camera, 50-MP ultrawide, 50-MP telephoto, 50-MP periscope telephoto Oppo Find X7 Ultra : 50-MP main camera, 50-MP ultrawide, 50-MP periscope telephoto, 50-MP periscope telephoto : 50-MP main camera, 50-MP ultrawide, 50-MP periscope telephoto, 50-MP periscope telephoto Honor Magic 6 Pro: 50-MP main camera, 50-MP Ultrawide, 180-MP periscope telephoto I'm not pitting the Galaxy S24 Plus against these three; it’s included for comparison purposes. But here are its specs anyway: Samsung Galaxy S24+: 50-MP main camera, 10-MP telephoto, 12-MP ultrawide Main Cameras The main camera is the one you’ll use most often.
