Long live the new King 👑 - Xiao ESP32S3 Sense Review

📷 Introducing the smallest ESP32 camera ever - the Xiao ESP32S3 with impressive capabilities! 🚀 In this video, we unbox and review this tiny but powerful board sent to us by Seeed Studio. From its compact size to its ability to stream high-quality video and audio, we dive into all its features. The Xiao ESP32S3 may be small, but it packs a punch with its OV2640 camera sensor, microphone, and microSD card slot.

We compare it to the ESP-CAM to showcase its size. With the ESP32S3 being over 30 times faster in image processing, we put it to the test to see if it lives up to the hype. The onboard microphone impresses with its quality and the ability to stream smoother, sharper video.

We experiment with the microphone and train a custom keyword spotting model using Edge Impulse, showcasing its versatility. With features like temperature, humidity, and light sensors, as well as presence detection and Bluetooth capabilities, the Xiao ESP32S3 is a versatile board for DIY projects.

However, the board's power comes at a cost ...
