Xiaomi’s drone might be the next big thing the Chinese company is working to release, but the new Yi 4K action camera has its own share of fans.

Worth noting is the box, which — like most Xiaomi products — is made to endure long international shipping durations without damaging the product inside.
Since stocks are only expected next month, the camera right now only on presale for $249. We’re expecting a review unit soon, stay tuned for that. Meanwhile, refresh your memory while going through the first-gen Yi review!
