Snap Announces a Mini Drone Called Pixy

Meet Pixy, Snap's little flying companion. Pixy is a mini drone that can act as a camera sidekick when you can't ask someone to take a video of you. It'll be available in the U.S. and in France for $229.99. From a report: "Today, we're taking the power and magic of the Snap Camera -- the spontaneity, the joy, and the freedom -- to new heights. A new camera to match the limitless potential of your imagination. Meet Pixy, the world's friendliest flying camera. It's a pocket-sized, free-flying sidekick for adventures big and small," Snap CEO Evan Spiegel said during the Snap Partner Summit keynote. Pixy isn't your average drone as there is no controller and no SD card. It feels like the company has optimized the device so that it's easy to pick up and get started. There's a button to activate the device and a camera dial to select the flying mode. Pixy captures 2.7k videos and 12MP photos. It's very lightweight as it only weighs 101g with the replaceable battery. On a single charge, you can capture five to eight flights.
