The £159.99 camera pairs a 1/1.28-inch RYYB sensor with 4K HDR video, horizon stabilisation and Gyroflow support, with an introductory UK price of £99.99.
XTU has brought the S7 Pro Max to the UK as a lower-cost action camera aimed at travel, riding and outdoor point-of-view filming, but the most important change is not the price. According to the company’s UK launch details, the new model moves up to a 1/1.28-inch RYYB CMOS sensor, larger than the chip in the S7 Pro, and combines it with an AI image signal processor and an F2.8 lens. XTU says that gives the camera 50MP stills, 4K HDR video at up to 50 frames per second and a claimed 14-stop dynamic range, positioning it as a more ambitious option for mixed lighting and fast-moving scenes.
The sensor choice is the feature likely to matter most in practice. Notebookcheck and LavX News both reported that the RYYB design is intended to improve light capture, which should help in darker environments such as shaded trails, late-day streets and indoor settings where action cameras often struggle. XTU is also pairing the sensor with HDR recording, Night Mode and an X-LOG profile, all of which point to a camera designed to leave more room for correction in post-production rather than relying solely on in-camera processing.
Stabilisation is another area where XTU is trying to stand out. The company says the S7 Pro Max uses Super EIS 5.0 with horizon stabilisation and 360-degree horizon correction, while gyroscope data can be exported for use with Gyroflow. That is notable because it allows users to switch off in-camera stabilisation and refine the footage later, a feature more commonly associated with pricier action cameras. The camera also includes a 158-degree field of view, a 2.29-inch rear touchscreen, a 1.4-inch front display, voice control, pre-recording and vertical shooting support.
The rest of the specification sheet is broadly in line with a budget action camera, though not without compromises. XTU quotes a replaceable 1,800mAh battery, PD fast charging to 80% in around 46 minutes and a runtime of about 200 minutes at 1080p and 30fps, while the body weighs 138g and supports microSD cards up to 512GB. The camera itself is not waterproof, so underwater use requires a separate housing rated to 30 metres. XTU’s own accessory listings also show a Bluetooth microphone, a dual-battery charger and a protective cage, underlining that the system is being sold as a modular platform rather than a sealed premium rival. In the UK, the S7 Pro Max carries an RRP of £159.99, although the launch offer cuts that to £99.99 on the company’s website and Amazon UK.
