DJI has released an updated drone to their lineup as they introduce the DJI Air 2S, which could possibly be the best all-rounder in their offerings yet.

Last year, DJI released the DJI Mavic Air, a compact and more affordable plug-and-play packaged drone. Now, a year later, an updated version is to replace the Mavic Air with the DJI Air 2S.

The biggest noticeable change is not necessarily in the drone itself, but in the camera. It now offers a 1-inch sensor size which will drastically improve on image quality in photos, and the video receives a huge resolution upgrade too. It now has the ability to shoot 5.4K.
