Him DJI Neo It is a compact, almost the size of a small drone, designed to offer a simple and accessible user experience for everyone, especially for those looking to create content quickly for social networks without complications. The obvious contender is the HoverAir X1, which we already published our review of a few months ago.
The key to Neo is that it can be controlled without traditional controls, using instead voice commands and buttons on the drone itself. This greatly simplifies usemaking the device easy to use for those with no prior experience with drones. All you have to do is take it out of the box, put it in the palm of your hand, press a button and activate one of the pre-set flight modes to get a nice ‘selfie’, also called in ‘dronie’. Same for landing, you just have to remove your palm and the Neo will rest comfortably on your palm.
The flight modes that can be found in the classics: tracking, ‘dronie’, ‘rocket’, shooting, photo or static recording, allowing users to take powerful shots with zero effort. However, one advantage of the HoverAir X1 About Neo is your artificial intelligence system to avoid obstacles in the next position, but only in the front plane, where the camera is.
That has nothing to do with what the DJI Mini is capable of, which avoids any obstacle, but it does a good job of stopping before it crashes, or avoiding simple objects. On the other hand, the DJI Neo does not have a clearing function. But to our surprise, in the tests, when it comes to branches or leaves, it passes through them without problems, while the HoverAir X1 has crashed or stopped.
Both, in tracking mode, have a limited speed, around 20 kilometers per hour. Another advantage of DJI Neo is that if we want to use the drone in a traditional way we can buy a separate controller and fly as far as the battery can reach, take aerial shots and photos without problems. Both drones are very limited by the freedom of up to 10 minutes of flight, because they are designed for quick shots of a few minutes.
Good picture quality
One big difference between the DJI Neo and the HoverAir X1 is image quality. While the HoverAir X1 records in 2K, the DJI Neo has a 4K record, providing a higher resolution and higher details in the videos. Thanks to 4K, frames can be extracted from video and photos of acceptable resolution. However, it is important to mention that the Neo does not reach the image quality of large drones like the DJI Mini, or the higher-end DJI models that have a better lens.

In terms of portability, HoverAir The Neo is a little less compact, since it does not have a fold; However, it also feels more robust and resistant. In favor of HoverAir
By plane, The DJI Neo is more versatile thanks to the fact that it can be used with a remote control and can reach higher speeds in the sport mode. Although you must remember that both drones show limitations when faced with light winds, which is logical due to their size and having a body that covers the vendors for safety, and for domestic flight.
A good choice?
Which is better, DJI Neo or HoverAir X1? The user of both drones is someone who will spontaneously take pictures and video, with the push of a button. For anyone who thinks about taking landscape shots at high altitudes like that of TikTok, it’s not your market. The price difference is substantial, around 400 euros for HoverAir for everyone, plus it’s not perfect, so it’s hard to justify the extra cost.
