Preview of the Xiaomi Mi 360° Panoramic camera - Gearbest Blog Russia

This year, Xiaomi promised to update the most popular action camera (after GoPro, of course).

Unfortunately, since the ways Xiaomi and Yi have separated, we can only purchase Yi 2 with support for 4K recording. The new camera of the Chinese giant is panoramic Mi 360° Panoramic, from this day already available for pre-order at GearBest (only until April 30 - after that the sale will begin at a higher price).

The new product, created in collaboration with an as yet unknown startup, received two names. Somewhere it is called Xiaomi Mi 360° Panoramic, some sources claim that its production is carried out by the brand’s home appliances division. And supposedly it’s called Xiaomi mijia 3.5K Panorama.

Be that as it may, Xiaomi’s first panoramic camera is built on the new Ambarella A12 and uses two top-end sensors: IMX 206 sensors with f/2.0 aperture, 16 MP matrix and 1/2.3-inch size. The viewing angle of each camera is an incredible 190°! We've never seen anything like this before, because when stitched in-camera by software, it gives full 360° with a resolution of 3.5K and 30 fps.

The camera is IP67 certified - it is not afraid of moisture and dust, and feels great in temperatures from -10 to +45°C. The battery is 1600 mAh, promised to work for 75 minutes at maximum shooting resolution. In order to have enough memory, the manufacturer abandoned the internal memory, and the used card slot supports flash drives up to 128 gigabytes. I almost forgot - the battery can be refilled in 20 minutes using QC2.0 fast charging. The camera is controlled via Wi-Fi using a smartphone and everyone’s favorite MiHome application.
