Xiaomi used to give us quality, and with his sports camera has not made an exception. The materials are good, the camera feels solid and has a sort of rubbery touch with grooved design that gives the impression that this is a well built product.
The Xiaomi own claims to have used a fuselage with high precision parts and ABS plastic particularly resistant against low temperatures and impacts. This time, I wanna share you the review of
XiaoMi Yi sport camera.
Entered the distribution chamber at the top we find a microphone and button for taking pictures or start recording a video. This button is accompanied by a red LED that lights up when the video mode is on and off when you are using the camera in photo mode.
On the left is the button to turn the wireless (and bluetooth), while in the back we find two covers, one that hides the HDMI slot, Micro USB and Micro SD card, and one under which the battery is . We also find here an LED that serves the same function as the upper, that of pointing out when we're in video mode.
The right side is completely smooth, while on the bottom we find one of their microphones and accessories for the thread (of whom I now speak later). We also have a LED that serves the same function as the superior, and therefore will light up when we're in video mode.
And finally, in the front we find the target and the power button, which also acts as mode switching to video or photograph, much like other cameras like the Dazzne we discussed some time ago. Has a curious feature is that this button lights around in various colors depending on the battery charge we have available (blue, purple or red, as we have a high level of battery [100-50%], medium [49 / 15%] or low [14-0%], respectively).
As regards the colors available in all stores white and green "pineapple" appear, but after being investigating, we discovered that sports camera Xiaomi thinks come in several "flavors" more, such as a camera white with black edges and red accents or other in blue; in addition to the housings, which also come in various colors (one with green top, one white and one black.) and it seems that are already being announced by some Chinese shops.
