1. Mini 0806: 7 x 4 x 4 cmAnd they have a 2.7" screen on the back of this camera.... why so ignorant?
Btw Mtz, your mini806, is actually bigger in size, has a smaller pixel size sensor, and a smaller screen on it..... in case you didnt check the numbers
Yi: 7.4 x 1.94 x 5.24 cm
Because of 0806 rounded shape and black color the camera is less visible compared to a credit card style camera which is gold or grey. No matter if is a little smaller than Yi.
2. What will you say if the already famous 3um pixel is not offering brighter images than cameras with lower specs?
Real life is more important than numbers and if comparing the Yi with suction cup with 0806 quick release mount I think the whole Yi system is more than double size.
My problem with a company with money and power like Xiaomi is that I expect something new or great from them. I see nothing special on Yi the same design idea as the $30 K6000. I saw more interesting features at some unknown companies, like the sliding mount with GPS from Mini, the great wedge idea of A118, the magnetic CPL idea of 0806, the parking mode feature of some korean dashcams, the foldable screen of DVR 207 which for me remain one of the greatest dashcam design ever.
The 3um pixel on paper is not enough for me even the dsahcam name is Yi. But I ordered it just to compare with other dashcams.
enjoy,
