A few years ago I did a review of the original Mini, and a few days ago I finished my review of the new Mini 2:

- 10 years, many dashcams
I will "oppose" the no screen needed statement.
While a severe minority there are still some that do not want to carry a phone, i am one of them though right now i do carry one so my dear old sick mother can get a hold of me.
But i will also admit that doing settings on a large phone screen is more easy for my tired old eyes than using a 1" LCD screen on a dashcam.
I think many single channel dashcams today do upwards of 20 mbit, and a bit more would not hurt, personally i feel 28 Mbit is about the sweet spot for 1080p.
Amazed the mini 2 will do parking mode in TX in July and not overheat and shut down,,,,,, that according to my knowledge is a hot state in the summer.

Yes, they fixed that shortly after I posted that review almost 2 years ago.
