Xiaomi’s Yi camera comprises of 2 main editions i.e. Standard and Travel. The only difference between these two is the selfie stick or the monopod that comes in the box with Yi camera’s Travel edition. Xiaomi’s Yi camera weighs just 72gm (size: 6 x 2.1 x 4.2 cm / 2.36 x 0.83 x 1.65 inches). 72gm is nothing as compared to those heavy DSLR cameras. The best part is, you don’t have to carry those heavy camera bags everywhere you go.

The appearance
This simple looking camera contains only 3 buttons. The very first button at the top surface of the camera is for the shutter. In front, you have the on/off button which also switches between taking stills or video and finally, at the corner of the camera, you have the Wi-Fi button. Even though this camera looks very simple, it has multiple features which make it a better option as compared to other cameras and it is much cheaper as well. Xiaomi’s Yi camera comes in two colors i.e. White and Jungle.

We have gone through all the best parts of the camera so now here comes the saddest part- this is only available in China. According to the officials in upcoming years it will be available in the USA and most probably after a span of time, we will be able to have this in Pakistan as well. After looking at the specifications I’m really looking forward to pre-order this camera. I mean, c’mon. Who doesn’t want to have a perfectly-sized, handy camera comprising of so many specs at such a low price.
