All in all, the Xiaomi is still better than some action cameras like GoPro Hero (GoPro’s entry level camera which costs $129.99) in terms of video quality. And when looking at the minute technical specifications, the GoPro Hero 4 Silver defeats Xiaomi Yi. Low-light conditions, contrast and crispness, focus, color, and exposure are some of the comparison points between cameras. Of course, there’s more to video quality than simply comparing the resolution. On the other hand, Xiaomi Yi’s maximum resolution is 1080p at 60 fps, which is good enough if you’re not intending to record very high resolution videos. Unless you are really into recording very high resolution videos, I’d say settling to 1080p videos with 60fps is a great option. Of course you can reduce the resolution to increase the frame rate. To compare, most home security cameras offer 30 fps, and higher numbers are better. When recording in this resolution, which is the highest resolution possible, the maximum frame rate will reduce to 15 fps. GoPro records 4k videos, which is a resolution of 3840×2160. The GoPro Hero 4 Silver is way more expensive than the Xiaomi Yi, so it is rational to expect that it has better video quality. In order to attack this, let’s divide the category into several sub-categories: Video Recording, Still Image, Burst Mode, and Time Lapse. The first and foremost comparison that comes to mind is the video and image quality. You are now probably wondering, can Xiaomi really compete head on with the more established GoPro? In this review, I’ll be comparing Xiaomi Yi with the GoPro Hero 4 Silver (which is currently the cheaper version of their flagship camera, GoPro Hero 4 Black) in order to answer this question. In fact, their product is vastly cheaper than the GoPro Hero 4 Black. In true Xiaomi style they released a product similar to GoPro but with a smaller price tag. In response, China’s tech giant, Xiaomi, released its own action camera called Xiaomi Yi. However, those features don’t come cheap. Since the release of the first GoPro in 2012, it has earned a reputation as an action camera with high-video quality and jammed with features. And there are really good reasons why GoPro is on top. Have you ever noticed how some people call every kind of tissue “Kleenex”, even when it’s from another brand? It’s sort of like that with GoPro and action cameras.
