According to the well-known Dashcam Seller from Thailand, 70mai A800 was discontinued due to the price hike of chipsets, especially HiSilicon SoC.

70mai will source SoC from another company and name the new revision A800S for clarity. Specs except SoC should stay the same and rear cam of A800 should compatible with A800S.

Whether video quality or price of A800S will stay the same or not we would need to wait and see. (I think it will increase, other brands in Thailand saw price increases already)

Interesting news. Thanks for sharing. This A800S seems to be using a ARM Star processor based on the FCC link. Not much info on it.

Maybe it is a Novatek chipset, but they use their own customized stamp.

Rather unusual for so new a camera to end so quickly 70mai A800 Discontinued (4) I know nothing of processor pricing but if one chip-maker has has to raise their prices the others may have to do the same, and that wouldn't be good for dashcam buyers 70mai A800 Discontinued (5)

Yes a bit weird, but it might have been a fast and prudent reaction to some issue.

Or you know, to quickly disassociate themselves from Huawei or end up in some ban-list somewhere.

Stay away, is all I can recommend. I was so hoping that I could finally brag about Made in China for once, but there seems still some ways to go ...

I hope Banya Tech will manage to do it better this time with A500s and A800s cams as their older Mijia Dash Cam 1S based on a similar chipset was not impressive at all in terms of image quality.
