Xiaomi’s operating system (formerly MIUI, now rebranded as HyperOS) offers extensive customization options that allow users to personalize their devices beyond what standard Android provides. This feature has helped build a loyal user base.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra features a one-inch-type main sensor with a variable aperture, providing exceptional depth of field and light control. It also includes multiple 50MP cameras for telephoto, ultrawide, and periscope zoom. In comparison, Samsung and Apple flagship models, while high-quality, do not offer this unique combination of sensor size and variable aperture.

A dedicated photography package is also available (sold separately), featuring a camera grip with a shutter release button for enhanced stability and usability, resembling a traditional camera.
