LeEco launches its first 4K action camera, the Liveman C1

Today LeEco has unveiled a new device, but this one isn"t a smartphone. Instead, the Chinese company has decided to make its entrance into the increasingly ever more crowded action camera market. Just a few days ago Xiaomi-backed Yi outed its latest product in this category, and LeEco clearly wants to compete with Yi"s cameras as well as GoPro.
The LeEco action camera is called Liveman C1, and it can shoot 4K video at 30fps. That puts it on equal footing to the original Yi 4K device, but it can"t match the new Yi 4K+"s 60fps recording abilities.
The Liveman C1 has a 16 MP camera sensor, 140-degree field of view, and a G-sensor in order to support automatic recording when movement is sensed. A 1.8-inch touchscreen will serve as the viewfinder, and the camera has Wi-Fi built-in, a microSD card slot, a micro HDMI port, and a 1,050 mAh battery.
In the box you get the camera itself, a waterproof case that lets you shoot at up to 40m underwater, two self adhesive mount..

Xiaomi will livestream its first ever CES event, watch it here

Xiaomi’s conquest west continues and in just a few hours we’ll witness the first ever CES event from the young company. Tantalizingly, the CES page on Mi.com promises a “2017 CES Mi Product Launch.” The event starts at 7PM GMT and it will be broadcast live on YouTube.
Here’s the thing though, the new product may prove to be a coat of paint – a teaser image published a few days ago hinted at a White version of the Xiaomi Mi Mix. Not that we’re complaining, the Mix is one of our very favorite phones of 2016 and it could look cool in white.
Xiaomi posts clues on Twitter
Better yet, an announcement at CES might mean that Xiaomi will offer the Mi Mix in the US through official means. That"s more wishful thinking than actual possibility though as Xiaomi is yet to release any phones in the US, much less one that"s been explicitly confirmed as a China-exclusive.
Additional teasers from Xiaomi hint at fitness trackers – a new band, perhaps, or the Amazfit landing in the US?
