Does this excites you even more?

Xiaomi has added another exciting company under its wings, Funsnap company has given us something good to look forward to, introducing the Funsnap iDol  Compact Drone! Its so small that you can even fold it into a sandwich! Its the first time I have personally flew a drone this small, well except for the Mi Bunny Drone which is a toy for the small boys. This one is almost a size of the actual drone and yet you can fully fold it into half for easy carriage wherever you go. Unlike the Mi Drone which is a full scale, full size drone that needed a luggage to carry it, this one you can slip it inside your body bag and bring it to any tour destination that you may like to.

How to Navigate the App

Verdict
This drone is very compact that I was able to carry around just anywhere, its so easy to pop it out whenever I feel like flying it, be it indoor or outdoor. The battery 1800mAh could only last for 10 minutes, I wish it can last longer than that. But due to its compact design, thats the limitation of the drone itself. The captured photos are not that bad and it was able to record 1080p videos, but you need to press download button for it to directly save to your phone. The limitation of this drone is that you need to fly to unlock the height limitation set, well its just for safety purpose that you need to undergo practice first.

One thing that I love about this is that the case is very strong and it fully protects the propeller unlike the Mi Drone, the propeller protectors are not that sturdy enough to protect the propellers from damage when it took a hard fall.
Overall this is a very nice gadget to have and its pretty nice to navigate around even your kids can freely use this drone when well trained.

After so many news has scattered throughout the day, this statement came in towards the end of the day as Huawei has been slapped with a trade blacklist by the US Government. This results to Google, Intel, Broadcom and Qualcomm forced to suspend their future transaction with Huawei until further noticed.

Huawei assured its users that all smartphones sold before the ban will remain Google enabled, and will continue to receive security updates. Therefore there is no need to panic.
