The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is on track to become one of the leading phones for photography, with Xiaomi introducing a mode called “MasterCinema” (which records 10-bit Rec. 2020 HDR videos) to showcase its filmmaking capabilities as well.
The company enlisted director Adam Bernstein and cinematographer Sam Chase to shoot a new movie named Roma Noir: Triple Jeopardy using the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
Not only the phone, but the new Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro 12.4 tablet also boasts a feature called Director’s mode, enabling it to function as a remote monitor for up to four Xiaomi 14 Ultras. This feature aided the team in using the phone creatively on the go.
