As promised, another set of battle for 2K Ultra HD Dashcam!!!
Coming to debut would be my all time favorite Viofo A119 and as well as the newly reviewed DDPai Mini 2.



My humble and in depth review of Viofo A119 Vs. DDPai Mini2

To my very 2cents, Viofo A119 is still standing strong. Although both are running at 2K UHD resolution but if you have a detailed view at the comparison video, the result is quite obvious.
Well I would say DDPai Mini2 is not bad too, it tends to be brighter when in low light area but when it comes to sharpness & noises, it still have spaces to be improved whereby video quality of Viofo A119 is clean and sharp.
** CPL Filter added on Viofo A119, image tends to be darker.

Hope my comments and review video will be resourceful to you. Thanks for reading!

A119 looks darker because it's using the CPL filter while the Mini2 is using none... innocent.gif

Seems like the Viofo A119 is much sharper. Ok, going to buy this for my rear window thumbsup.gif

I just ordered the Xiaomi Mijia as front dashcam doh.gif . Should I cancel the order and purchase another Viofo A119 as front dashcam? hmm.gif

If your budget allows, why not?
but just my 2cents, a 2K resolution cam for rear is abit wasted. Why not you try Mijia as rear and see whether it is acceptable for you?
Anyhow, Mijia is a good dashcam as well !

Written below is the available resolution for both dashcam. If you ask me, of course go for 1440p

Viofo : 2K(2560×1440) 30fps, 1080p(1920×1080) 30/60 fps
DDPai : 2K(2560×1440) 25fps, 1080p(1920×1080) 30fps

Just get 1 GPS mount will do, the rear should be without GPS mount . Don't need to spend extra .

Yeah, i probably will get an a119 with GPS mount and an a119s without GPS mount. The a119s without GPS mount is slightly cheaper than a119 with GPS mount.

guys.. tumpang thread a little yeah, just curious what's the current market price for Viofo A119?
cuz the quality is very good and clear even for full hd.
I've just bought Marbella VR4 from the IT Fair in midvalley just now. It was on promo RM 299 for 2 units.
So just wondering the price of A119. It's so much better than VR4

The Viofo is with CPL filter added so the image is tends to be darker.

There is a version 2 of Viofo A119 available now, price is around USD80++ , and Viofo is running 2k Resolution whereby the Marbella VR4 you mentioned is only at 1080P.
And to my knowledge.. Dashcam that is using a super capacitor , the price will also different abit..=)
