Hello guys, I decided to open this thread as I have not found any thread regarding the discussion of the Xiaoyi Sports Camera.
I've just got mine and these are my first impressions:
Price
- Well, as I stay/live/work in China, I got mine at RMB600 for the entire travel package. That's about RM360.
Outlook
- Out of the box, the device is incredibly small.
- It looks like a toy.
- It is extremely light.
- Handling it is a little tedious as it is so small.
- Though made of plastic, build quality is decent.
Picture Quality
- I find it pretty OK but as I'm no photographer, I will comment no further.
- I'll upload some samples here for you to judge.
- Personally, I find it a joy to shoot with as the angle allows you to take some rather creative shots.
Connectivity
- I faced a couple of issues with connectivity with the Xiaoyi camera app on my Redmi Note
- Sometimes it just fails to connect. The remedy is to just keep reconnecting. Eventually, it will connect.
Others
- Taking and saving a shot takes about 3-4 seconds for me. I'm using a Class 6 8GB MicroSD card.
- App interface is sluggish, very laggy at times.
- Battery life is decent.
- The device heats up after quite some usage. It gets HOT!
- As you'll need the official Xiaoyi App for it to work, those on iOS will have to wait longer (ETA: April 2015) as the app for iOS has yet to be released. Only those on Android can fully enjoy the camera.
Selfie Stick
- It's OK I guess. I've not purchased any selfie stick prior to this so I can't make a comparison.
- At times, it may feel a little bit flimsy. It certainly doesn't inspire confidence at times.
- Build quality wise, I'd give an OK to that too. Nothing spectacular yet not entirely rubbish as well.
That's all I can say for now. I'll post more stuff as I go along.

- To protect your camera lens, I'd suggest you buy a camera lens cover that should cost you less than RM10 like mine below. It's the same size as the one used on the GoPro.

Ts. The lens cap is exactly the same as go pro one?
My xiaoyi is arriving next week, hope to get the cap before cam arrived.
