Xiaomi now jumps into the action camera bandwagon and released their latest product, the Yi Action Camera.
Yi Action Camera which claims to be EVEN better than the entry-level GoPro camera at LESS THAN half the price at 64USD(approx. PHP2,800 w/o tax and duties).
When Xiaomi came into the smartphone scene with a Xiaomi Mi3, with a device comparable to Samsung's then flagship, Galaxy S5, having a dramatically cheaper price tag, we were all taken by surprise. A lot of people bought the idea... and erm... the Xiaomi Mi3. Their customers seem happy and I don't remember hearing complaints as much as the local smartphone brands get, so I must say they have established themselves a name of good quality and value for money.
I haven't got any use for an action cam. I mean, come on. Strolling inside the mall is all the action I ever get. But better specs, at less than half the price of a GoPro? Mind if ah do! If it performs in real-life as it says on paper, this is a steal! (That is, if you don't mind the Yi branding. You know what I mean.)
Xiaomi Yi Action Camera is currently available only in China as of yet, but knowing how Xiaomi smartphones (and even power banks) boomed in the country, it might hit the local shelves really soon through a Lazada Flash Sale like the rest. You know the drill.
My guesstimate price: PHP 3,500
