- Céline Nebor, Digital VersusAll accessories are sold separately, but even so the Yi offers excellent value-for-money and is a serious alternative to its higher-priced competitors.
- Joshua Goldman , CnetThe Xiaomi Yi Action Cam's video quality and shooting options are well above those of other cameras in its class, but you'll need to bring your own accessories.
Video quality is excellent and unlike many of its rivals the quality of footage at all resolutions and frame rates is perfectly usable and closely rivals that of the GoPro, something no other budget camera can do. If you're looking for a cheap but decent action camera, then you really cannot go wrong with the Yi.

Read full reviewA fantastic entry-level action camera that can out do even more expensive cameras. I would say it’s the best bang for buck action camera by far. I would especially recommend using Xiaomi Yi on a drone. It’s lightweight and the price make it perfect for aerial photography.

For $70 the Xiaomi Yi Action Camera comes with everything you need to start recording your favorite activities whether they be hiking, driving, biking or just vlogging. The high-quality lens and 16mp sensor takes great shots and even better video, which turns all the way up to 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second. Sound quality is nothing short of great and the overall experience of watching videos taken with the Yi camera are fantastic. It’s not quite on the level of a GoPro but it’s also less than a third of the price. The camera itself can be a bit confusing to use at first because the buttons make it seem almost overly simple, although there’s a great app that adds all the missing functionality back in. Those looking for a waterproof camera will have to get the waterproof case, which gets the Yi camera down to 40m underwater if needed.

The Xiaomi Yi is a good alternative for those who want un'action aam without spending a fortune. We had access to a GoPro Hero 4 Silver for comparison, a model that costs three, even four times more than Yi, you can buy about 120 Euros. The GoPro adopted it provides functions and a higher frame rate, but with the same characteristics of recording and shooting, Xiaomi not misbehaves.
Read full reviewThe Yi action camera stands as a real GoPro alternative. When compared directly to the market leader's features and build quality it might lag behind slightly, but considering the price and quality of its video, the Yi is presently GoPro's most dangerous rival.

If you plan to use it as a true action camera, which includes recording in extreme situations with fast speed and unpredictable environment, you will have to buy additional gear such as head mount, chest strap, waterproof case. All that adds up, so unless you plan to record everyday life situations of your kids running around, Xiaomi YI requires additional gear investment.

It’s a great selfie machine, and its video modes are pretty comprehensive and cover most usage scenarios. It’s definitely not a rough and tumble action cam like GoPro’s Hero series is, though it can rough it out with the best of them if you buy it a separate case.
