G1W from E-Prance question

[Nixxster]

Hi everyone,

I just bought a G1W from E-Prance on amazon. It states that it has a 5M pixel cmos lense. But the have seen others with only 3m pixel. Is there a way to verify the there is a AR0330 chip? I know for sure that is has a Novatek 96650 chip and a nanya chip 1116. But I have seen other with Nanya 1126 chip. Did I get a fake?

Thank you in advance

I havnt yet seen g1w nt96650 with other than ar0330.
Some even stating 5, 8, 12Mpix, but everything above 3Mpix is just an interpolation and its common "nkrmal" marketing trick in Chinese dashcams.
Nanya is jusr RAM Chip and there are no major differences between those two chips that would affect dramatically a lerfirmance. Maybe only few cents cost or stock availability.

Thx for the reply,

Is there a way to check for the Ar0330? My picture quality does not look as good as the one I have seem on youtube.
