Hi guys welcome to another camera comparison here so this is the Mi 8
versus the one plus 6 here so 2 flagships with the same chipset the
Snapdragon 845 we had a 12 megapixel sensor on the Mi 8 and a 16 megapixel
main rear camera sensor on the Oneplus 6 here. so I'm gonna be testing out the
sound I'll be swapping over the sound sources you can see the little speaker
icon there or check out samples from the front cameras the rear cameras photos in
both low lights and during the daylight here video samples too now recording
here in 4k 30 frames per second the Oneplus 6 can do 60 frames per second but
this whole video will be encoded in 30 frames per second so that's the only
reason why I'm going for that and the fact of course that we can't do 60
frames per second on the me 8 so focus I found tends to be a little bit bitter on
the Mi 8 the dual pixel autofocus tends to win out most of the time there when
it comes to focusing on things and it just seems to be a little quicker not
that the Oneplus 6 is bad but it did have some problems with a focus on previous
firmwares but that has been corrected so we have electronic image stabilization
that is working now with the circuit with the Oneplus 6 and just optical which
Xiaomi Mi 8 so in terms of stability there's quite a big difference the audio
winner well that's very clear to me here is the
Oneplus 6 much better audio the Xiaomi's audio is very scratchy it's a little
flat it's it's not very good at all they need to fix us it's been a problem with
show me for some time they need to address the audio quality and videos on
there the flagships and when you have a look at the detail now so i've sumed in
to a 200% crop very disappointing results and you don't even have to crop
and even looking at this video in 4k on a 4k TV if you look at it at 1080p or
1440p monitor or TV you will not see it but the one plus is very disappointing
here it's lacking detail it's very soft the image lacking
sharpness and that is why I'm actually going to give the visuals the when at
least here to the Xiaomi Mi 8 because it's 4k quality is so much sharper lots
more detail the Oneplus 6 almost looks like 1440p video upscale that i have
seen before on cheap 4k chinese cameras and even cheap chinese mobile phones
that fake 4k footage because all they're doing is just upscaling
low-light sample now but the front-facing cameras and again i am
gonna have to give it to the 1 plus 6 here because it's got the stability it
also just seems to be a little bit brighter here my face overall now of
course i've got the light pointing on me so i'm just gonna step out and into the
shadow more here and we'll see how it handles that let's transition now you
can see both of them quite a bit of grain and noise now taking a look at low
light on both the rear cameras it's still 4k 30 frames per second here and
you can see neither of them as wonderful there's quite a bit of noise but i do
think that the Mi 8 is actually feeling a little bit better here just because the
video is a little bit sharper there's less noise but it also seems brighter
too which is good we're getting more details in the shadows here instead of
just been completely black in some places on the Oneplus 6
so that's the camera comparison there what do you guys think let me know who
do you think won this battle here it's obvious to me front-facing camera the
one pluses 16 megapixel camera beats the hell out of this shell me me eights is
so much better we have electronic image stabilization it's got way better
exposure it just has an overall much better image better audio - on video
from the Oneplus 6 now where things do surprise is video quality with 4k so we
get obviously up to 60 frames per second on the 1 plus something that the me 8 at
the moment can't seem to do even though the hardware should be able to do it and
Snapdragon 845 so what a surprising is that when you zoom in you don't even
have to zoom in use a 4k TV or a monitor and you will see that the 1 plus 4k 30
frames per second video is very soft its lacking massive amounts of sharpness
it's lacking detail so I have to give the win there in video quality on the
rear camera to this Xiaomi Mi 8 it is better it's a sharper the stability
isn't as good no because it's not the electronic stabilization it's only
optical but I do believe that it's better their low-light performance well
very close it's really hard to say you do see more details in the shadows on
the Mi 8 and sometimes you also see that on the 1 plus 6 and you do see a little
bit of over sharpening a little bit of compression artifacts on the 1 plus a
little bit more than the me 8 so very close they're daylight photos again I'm
gonna have to say that the 1 plus 6 is slightly better that one has the edge
with the 16 megapixel resolution
