Yi technology has now become popular when it comes
to powerful budget action cameras and not quite long, the company started to
venture into the high-end segment with the launch of the Yi M1 Mirrorless camera. Yi is now set to launch a new
camera which is likely the Yi 360 VR camera.
The upcoming product will be launched on June 1 and
from all indications, it is a panoramic camera. A similar product which we
believe is the same with this one is listed on Yi technology website for pre-order so, from there we can get an
idea that the camera is the Yi 360 VR camera.
The Yi 360 VR camera comes with dual lenses that are
adjacent to each other with each having a 220-degree wide angle FOV. The
cameras each have a 12MP SonyIMX377 sensor and f/2.0 aperture. The Yi Panoramic
camera is Google Street View ready and has WiFi connectivity. There is also a
1400 mAH battery and a microphone which means you can Livestream videos with
the camera. It also comes with a USB Type-C port, microSD slot as well as
Bluetooth 4.2.
The product will be officially announced on June 1
while booking will start on June 11. The camera comes in white and black colors
and it carries a price tag of 2499 Yuan (US$ 364). Meanwhile, the Yi technology’s
website puts it up on pre-order for US$ 399 for those in the U.S.
