A mid-range 4K action camera comes from Xiaom

They unveiled their new camera yesterday, something we don’t know what makes it new.

There is definitely some difference between the previous Yi Lite and this one, and it is also likely that the difference is not only manifested in the fact that the label "new next-gen" was affixed to the name of the new camera.

The camera is exactly the same as its predecessor in the main components, which is the difference worth mentioning is the weight of the camera, here it has become a little more, but what we do not know from it. The soul of the camera is a HiSilicon Hi3556 chipset with 4GB of internal memory, which can be expanded with a 64GB card. Under the f / 2.8 aperture optics, we hide a 16-megapixel Sony IMX206 sensor. The hardware also allows you to capture real 4K videos, albeit at a speed of only 20 frames per second. The camera can really be used with 1080p resolution, at least I would recommend it. At this resolution, it can already record 60 frames per second, and that will be enough to take nice smooth shots.

The camera also has Bluetooth 4.1 and WiFi connectivity. This is a great pleasure because the operating time of Wi-Fi cameras is drastically reduced by a wireless connection. Bluetooth 4.1 is perhaps more economical than that. According to the data provided, the built-in battery allows 2 hours of operation with optimal settings, which of course has reduced the use of Bluetooth or WiFi, and is also affected by the resolution used.

The camera is expected to stay under $ 110 and is expected to hit store shelves later this year.
