​The Xiaomi Yi Action Cam’s video quality and shooting options are well above those of other cameras in its class. It can capture 1080p video at 60, 48, 30 or 24 frames per second (fps); 960p (also called tall HD) at 60 or 48fps; 720p at 120, 60 or 48fps; and 480p at 240fps. Other cameras at the Yi’s price offer a fraction of those options and typically record video at a maximum of just 1080p at 30fps and 720p at 60fps.
