Our review for the exciting Xiaomi Yi Action Camera is finally complete. There is a ton here to go over. Some of the topics we cover are video quality from day-night, how fps effect video quality, wifi, battery life, hardware, specs, photos, and more. We also go over briefly how and why the Yi is priced so cheap and what that means for a international market as the Yi camera goes viral in the action camera market place.
