Keep in mind, the Yi 4K+ is not waterproofed by itself and it’ll need a case to go underwater for up to 40 meters. Pricing and availability are yet to be confirmed.

    XiaoMi and XiaoYi are two different companies. Mi sells celphones and batt banks while Yi sells action camera. Yi Technology is the XiaoYi. It is the XiaoYi that sells the YiCam4K+ and not XiaoMi.
