Xiaomi has launched the Yi Action Camera, a perfect rival for the GoPro. The Yi Action Camera matches the specs of the entry level GoPro camera but cost lesser than it. Yi Action Camera is a compact action camera made for travel purposes and for people who want to record their actions live on camera.<\/p>\n
The Yi Action Camera comes with different set of features that are not available in the entry level GoPro Hero action camera. The Yi Action Camera has better photo and video capabilities than the GoPro\u2019s Hero. However, there are few common things between the two action cameras. Both feature built-in Wi-Fi that for transferring files and for using remote control via companion apps.<\/p>\n
The Yi Action Camera is powered by an A7LS imaging processor. The camera features Sony\u2019s Exmor R BSI CMOS image sensor which is capable of shooting photos at 16 MP and can also record 1080p videos at 60fps. GoPro Hero on the other hand only has a 5MP photo resolution and can only record 1080p at 30fps. The Yi camera is also lighter (72g) than the GoPro Hero (111g).<\/p>\n
The most interesting fact about the Yi Action Camera is that although it excels in majority of the features when compared to GoPro Hero, it is also cheaper than the GoPro camera. Yi Action Camera just costs $64 compared to the GoPro Hero\u2019s price of $130 which is exactly the double amount of Yi\u2019s price.<\/p>\n
