Since coming out with our readers’ favorite budget action cam, Yi has since added a 4K and 4K+ model to the lineup, but now, they’ve circled back and developed an upgraded version of their entry-level camera.
Compared to the original Yi Action Cam, the Yi Lite adds a 2" touchscreen, 4K/20FPS recording (as of a recent firmware update), and improved 2+ hour battery life. At $76 on sale (compared to a current price of $70 for the original), it’s a no-brainer upgrade for the screen alone, which helps you line up your shots, and also makes it much easier to change the camera’s settings.
