Okay guys, which one would YOU choose?! I'm super curious to hear your opinions after seeing the side by side footage from this video and a ton of others that have posted. What's the verdict, GoPro or DJI?
DJI in just 329$
Insta 360 one X3 😅
GoPro during Black Friday sale. Too expensive in Europe currently.
Was this the 2nd take? It's good to have audio 😂😂😂
GoPro 11 on the way, looking forward to the upgrade from the GoPro 9.
Both cameras are good, but since I live in the Philippines, I choose DJI because I am afraid of the camera overheating. Nice video!
Hi David, firstly I’m a TV cameraman for a living and can’t believe how far these tiny cameras have come. I’m also a motovlogger in my spare time and have had nothing but frustrations with all models of GoPro since the Hero 8. In all honesty I haven’t used the 11 because I’m loathe to spend any more money with GoPro so went for the DJI Action 3 and wireless mic kit mainly because of their drones which I have used for years with my broadcast work and have had zero issues. I’ve only had the setup for a week but it’s a game changer, everything works flawlessly and no freezing/crashing/corrupted files any more like GoPro. I’m delighted I’ve made the switch and look forward to an even better image when they release the 10 bit update. Thanks for a very true comparison and you have a superb channel. Dave.👍🎥
Been using GoPros for years and my Hero 8 used to freeze from time to time, my Hero 9 has frozen maybe 1-2 times since I’ve owned it (2 years) and my hero 10 has never frozen. I do a lot of water sports, hiking, Onewheeling… I’ve been extremely pleased. And the GoPro subscription has so many perks it’s an easy buy so the price difference is very minimal. Can’t wait to strap the Hero 11 Mini to my DJI drones
Wow...finally found& got person who speaks about the frustration about Gopro freezing, CORRUPTED files & file transfer to the Gopro app is really pain in the ass.... you're not the only one who got this same frustration issue sir...& im done w/ this Gopro stuff...
After having the GoPro 5, 7 and 9, I also gave up on them because the 7 produced an odd plastic kind of skin tone, which was still there with the 9 plus the 9 was forever freezing and crashing. It looks like the 11 has fixed the colour profile and I’m waiting for anything else to appear. I have the Action 3 which works with no problems so far, touch wood! My original Action and Action 2 haven’t frozen or played up either. With GoPros, I feel that it’s taking a risk with a very high price tag.
Had the 8, 9, and 11 GoPro. EVEN with the gopro 11 I have issues all the time. So, this week I ordered an action 3. Already have the DJI wireless mike and love it. With 10 bit I think it might be a game changer. I have my settings with the GoPro fine-tuned, so I do like the picture quality. The only thing I'm concerned about with the action 3 is the picture quality. Also, DJI told me that my camera won't ship for 1 month. Is that standard wait time? AND they already hit my card for the $$ but want me to wait for a month. WTH
@@RobertMacCready I find it hard to believe it would take a month as they’re readily available all over Europe at the moment. However, it’s worth the wait as it’s issue free. The picture quality isn’t quite GoPro standard but to me it’s a fair trade for the reliability. I love them. 🎥👌
Good overview. Footage differences mean very little to me when there is no footage to actually work with. Reliability and frozen/corrupted footage on GoPro is a real dealbreaker, especially on once-in-a-lifetime shots. Come home to review the footage to find the camera completely shit the bed. I am going to be selling all of my GoPro stuff and switching to DJI. I just can't work with the buggy GoPro equipment any longer!
Same. I dive so I can't really do the GoPro reset underwater. I wish they'd just acknowledge the problem instead of always blaming the memory card.
I have the GoPro 10 (and others)and honestly sick of the problems with footage loss and having to remove the battery. I’m going to try the Action 3.
Exactly what I'm doing. I'm over GoPro! And the cost is ridiculous!! I have the DJI Pocket 2 & Drone and will be adding the Osmo 3 to the crew.
Once again, awesome comparison. I see it this way: If you are a pro or a semi-pro filmmaker and you don't care about the budget, go for GoPro. Better video quality, more options for post-production and many third party accessories. But if you are a regular user who just wants to film action shoots and don't want to spend too much money on camera and accessories, go for Osmo Action 3.
As a first time buyer of action camera; this is a tough choose. I love the price of the DJI, but really like the colors on the Hero 11. Maybe I should wait for DJI to update the camera with 10bit color and see if their color compare to Hero 11. In the meantime I will continue to use my iPhone 13 for video.
gopro have orangy skin, dji natural true colors. he proaably graded this video so don't look as orangy.
@@fdsaffff all raw footage and audio straight out of the cameras. That's GoPro's new "Natural" color mode👍
@@fdsaffff correct shot my first dji osmo action 3 footage today.. wide, 4k@60fps d cinelike. the realistic look in movement coloring and soundbwas wat suprised me the most.
@@DavidManningvlog If you are going to do another side-by-side comparison, take inspiration from the Best such video ever made, that includes most settings: ua-cam.com/video/NdelSe5PnbU/v-deo.html
I am also a first time buyer of an action cam. I have just ordered the action 3. 1. The price 399 i got the the adventure package vs 499 for the standard go pro package. 2. The fact that the action 3 wont overheat vs the go pro that overheats. The reason why that is important to me is i will be using the cam on long mountain bike rides and want to record in 4k for long durations. 3. The extra batteries with the action 3 for the very reason above. Plus the fast charging case. 80% in 18 minutes. with the action 3 i will be able to film the whole trip without worrying about overheating or running out of juice. All of that with being far cheaper than the gopro getting a bunch of extras without spending a ton of money. For me the Acton 3 footage is more than good enough for my needs.
Thanks! Awaiting my GP11. I mainly use underwater so the 8x7 will be great so I can resize after. 10 Bit will be fantastic too. I have had only a couple freezes per year underwater with GP10 but figured out if I keep holding the power button down for 5-10 seconds, it restarts. (Can't really open that battery door underwater.)
You are so good at these videos, professional and yet you make a relaxed connection with your audience. 😃 I bought the DJI pocket 1 last year great camera. I especially liked the UI. I am thinking about upgrading to the new model but there is no rush. I mostly use a drone for my footage. I do like the new toys/features that GoPro have but I think if you are only a casual user of an action camera the DJI is a better choice.
Thanks for the indepth. I think it comes down to end use scenarios. Starting out or reliability its going to go DJI. If you're a colour grading , cinematic, joseph kosinkski up and comer filmy person then gopro. What I will be interested in is your thoughts on the new hero mini when it comes out. That is where I think the hard choice comes in. For me right now I will stick with my hero 7black and wait for the mini before making a decision.
Great comparison video once again David... nicely done! I do not own both and still deciding but two other aspects to add to all your points for the Action 3 would be 'fast charging' for both in camera and the 3-batteries case and being able to see what you are recording on the DJI App. DJI Action 3 battery do last a bit longer from what other UA-camrs are showing but it's not significant enough of an advantage on that point. If those 2.5 points are important to you, then the Action 3 needs to be considered. Sort of like compromising on video quality for quality of life advantages.
and quick record. 1sec vs 4-5sec, just this will make me buy this oa3, not to mentioin theres like 10 other things better like deeper waterproof, stable no heat/cold death, touch control front screen, true natural colors.. etc
now that dji action 3 has 10 bit and HDR mode, i think it would be fair you do another comparison. cheers!
OMG,I picked the video clips on the right for the night and day shots. Thank you for doing this comparison post.
Yes! I've been waiting for you to do this video! Thank you so much! I'll watch it later tonight because I don't have time right now, but I'm so glad you've done it!😊
Thanks David, I appreciate you watching and stoked to hear your thoughts after seeing the side by side footage!
David, good video 👍
I went with the DJI Action 3, it arrives this coming week.
I've had a Gopro H8 and have friends with the 9 & 10 models. They all suffer software issues, laggy touchscreen response and general user interface flaws.
We use our cams for Action footage on dirtbikes and you just want a reliable, 'press one button and it works' user experience.
I didn't want to change over to a completely new set of accessories (from the H8) and have the same experience.
The simplicity of operation and quality of footage for far less money (especially in Aussie dollars) was a no brainier for me.
I was able to get the Action 3 & adventure kit for less than a bare Gopro.
Gopro's choice to lock you into their subscription system to get the proper price is also a disincentive for the camera in my opinion.
I have the Action 2 and love except the over heating. I'm definitely upgrading to the Action 3. I just love the style and for almost the same price as the Gopro I can get the dji combo.. Great review as always
Another great video, really engaging style David, love it!
You are the only channel mentioning the bad Gopro touch screen handling when the camera is wet. Thank you! There are so many more criteria when the camera is used under rough real world conditions. We need spare parts. We need one touch recording without unintentionally switching to photo, burst, timelaps or anything. We need a camera that keeps its frame rate for the take even if it is turned on facing my dark pants. We need a water resistance that really works. We need a good microphone with windshield directly on the camera, for example in an alternative battery door. The camera must switch on and off really fast. There are so many things that really matter for an action camera. If these criteria weren't important, you could simply go for a regular Vlog camera.
Great video. Looking to upgrade from my Hero5 Black soon. This really helped.
Love this video and look forward to see the coming one. With the iPhone in my pocket, why should I get an action camera?
Im a Gopro user. But the magnetic mount of the DJI is super cool. Imagine, put a magnetic mount to your helmet, an other to your bike, one on somewhere else. You can change the view very quick an make a cool video just using one single cam. Thats something i want to have for my gopro
They have them for GoPros. They’re called a Snap Mount. I use them and they work great!
@@treasure_hound I think is sarcasm
One thing I noticed that not a lot of reviewers mention is the communication between Company and Consumer. I'm constantly seeing GoPro comment on their ads, and also on creators reviews which is not a GoPro sponsored video. I have never seen this from DJI.
There's still the GoPro "issues" people have talked about that I haven't seen GoPro comment on, but they still seem to be active in communication. That's something to be said.
The price point, temperature rating and image quality are the kickers for me
Action 3 and Insta 360 X2, perfect for my moto vlogging, Action 1 never let me down, GoPro too many issues…
A few -ve's about the Gopro that maybe the Dji solves.
1. Needing the media mod for external mikes (I love our dji radio mikes)
2. Snapmount for media mod not available in UK
3. Taking the mounts off to take the media mod off to change battery (or reboot after crash)
The integration of the dji mikes, no media mod, quicker mount are all significant +ve for dji.
Great video, David. Kudos for your patience to film the whole thing twice. Been there- done that too either didnt hit record or forgot to turn on mic. I like the GoPro. I have the Hero 7 and Hero 10. I don't see a strong enough reason for me to add the Hero 11 to my kit. If there's a great holiday sale I could be tempted.
on my last trip, my 9 and 10 started freezing.. basically unusable now, so I'm fighting with myself on losing image quality to switch to DJI... a very hard choice, I have lost so much footage in different ways over the years using gopro.
Same. Just tweek the settings and colour grade and you'll be fine I reckon
I have bad experience with GoPros software too. Its freezing even though its not that hot....
Ey Joseph, surprise to find you here
the freezing issue seem to be affecting a lot of gopro models, check the forum so many complaints...
@@DavidSmith-qp7yk i got the hero 11 mini.still have some freezing issues even with fast sd cards
Great vs vid, not that anyone would expect less!! I've been on an extended break from filming for family reasons, but will be capturing my hockey games again soon. And as someone who only owns odd numbered gopros, I'm eyeing the 11 very hard!! 😆
Great video as always mate
Nice review! Can the DJI Mic be connected to the action 3 with the vertical cage on and mounted vertically? Thanks!
thank you for the video! you should retest now since the Action 3 update. i am wondering if it makes much of a difference
Action 3 seems to isolate the sound forward better than the GP. Great video as always David 🙌. Is it too early to congratulate you on 300k? Don't care. Hope you celebrate the milestone with the family 👏🏻
i was very surprised by the sound qualitywhen i shot some video on the atv, wind noise is almost not there, it captured engine and surrounding sounds very well.
The Low Light footage is a key feature I am looking for as a mountain biker since a lot of trails will encompass woodland and thus the light level drops in the trees. Second main criteria will be how smooth that footage is with all light levels and how motion blur is handled. Critical for an Action Cam!
Lowlight capability is also important for divers. I would gladly trade in a bit of dynamic range and clarity for better lowlight!
I had high hopes when DJI announced the Action 2, so like @A Wilder Ireland mentioned, good to see the OA3 back on track. Both seem pretty great, so it's a tough choice. I agree with others that I'd pick the H11 based on side-by-side footage comparison, but the OA3 still looks pretty good. For me it's about reliability. I'll wait to see about longer term usage reports for the GoPro, as their cameras always seem to be plagued by bugs and "the GoPro reset." I'd be using it mostly for music, and losing footage in the middle of a show... no thanks.
This is excellent, David. Thank you.
Awesome content as usual! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for your videos... in your opinion, how do the Action 3 and GoPro 11 compare with underwater footage?
Nice job, you should see if you can get external power and external mic to work on the osmo action 3
I much prefer the GoPro (and to be fair, I have a 7, 9 and 11) but something you didn't mention is the higher FOV on the DJI. I noticed it in AuthenTech's review, and it is still noticeable here. Something worth pointing out.
Yes the Action 3 is significantly wider. Some people like that but it is not for me. So, for some people it is a pro, and for other people it is a con.
@@artistjoh i tested it yesterday, its nice in wide open areas when in for example woodland it gives a nice sense of speed. What i am saying it depends on where you turn it on. i think for moto vlogging the DJI is way ahead of the gopro. The cropping of the gopro makes it appear as you move at half speed.
Great review as usual, if you could only have one action camera which would it be? Dji, hero11 or the x3
thank you.. i love go pro than anything.. but i hope they also improve a photo quality too
As a novice, I want reliability so I went with osmo action 3. I had the hero 7 and it would sometimes turn on by itself, the battery would randomly deplete sometimes, it wouldnt shut off easily, etc. I think they need to rework it instead of adding more pro features
I bought the 11 already. Thanks for the great video.
Great comparison and thanks for sharing. Hmmm, give me reliability over flashy features any day. The footage you never take is the footage you're going to miss the most!!
Honestly the video I would love to see is ACTION 2 versus Action 3 - but another great video mate!!
Hi! can you do a detailed comparison video of the 2 action cams and their respective apps? would like to know how GoPro 11 app and Osmo Action 3 app currently fair against each other in terms of set up, user interface, ease of use, functionality, pros and cons, and tips or cool useful features during recording or after recording.
You rock David. Your video really helped me to choose the camera I am looking for to shoot video whilst riding my snowmobile and snow boarding. I chosen the GoPro
I was number 301 subscriber I wonder if I get an osmo action 3 camera now haha I've been wanting one for sure
Something i like about my go pro is the gps overlay. I'm not tech savvy at all, and the free editing options in the go pro quick app make it easy for me to easily clip together a decent video. Does the dji have anything like that? I ride a motorcycle and love that i can easily overlay my speed, route, terrain, etc.
Your battery test on Osmo cam swayed me from other vid, should have mentioned that in the vid. I'll wait for 10bit on Osmo and watch your comparison vid then. 10bit plus way better battery performance would move me to Osmo for my needs. great vid! Thanks
I love the DJI mount.
hope that there will be a 3 rd party cage/case for gopro that can use the DJI mount 😛
David, I'd be interested to know if you've noticed any focusing problems with the OA3. There seems to be a lot of talk about it at the minute and I was almost ready to make a purchase.
Interesting in the running on the beach watching the compression artifacts (?) in the sand around the relatively static bodies. In that short clip it looked like the GoPro was a bit cleaner.
I enjoyed this! Helped me decide! Requesting for best accessories for best accessories for OSMO Action pls. Thanks!
i'm on the hero 7 atm and i was thinking about the 3, but tbh the 2 things that put 3 above the 11 imo is that charging case and magnetic mount, but you can get that 3rd party for gopro so i feel like i may as well
Thanx Dave I think I'll go for the GP 11.
Hello! Great video! Thanks. Can I ask what about file size? I used to have the Osmo action, they record with have a large file size which chews into my storage. Hence is abit hesitant to get the Osmo, what’s your take between the 2 on file size? Thanks!
Great video I'm thinking about buying one I think I'm leaning towards the go pro 11
I LOL'd at your gimbal for GoPro comment. Totally agree! The ONLY case you could make (IMO) is using a Gimbal with a GoPro will give you better moderate Low Light performance since the DIS really breaks-down badly in low light. But...that's really a very minor benefit and probably not worth the expense.
That 8-bit color on the DJI 3 is a deal breaker for me, thanks for the comprehensive review!
Do u have good info on when the GoPro Max 2 will be available?
Gopro overheat and shuts off while I was shooting on a couple of my trip and I forever left a bad taste. I'd prefer a action cam that can last the entire battery. Firmware update GoPro also tooook forever to release an update. Sooo I'm going for DJI. Thx for the comparison videos.
Good review. To answer your last question about whether or not you need an action camera over a (flagship) smartphone, as far as for vlogging, the answer is a very clear, YES! The reason for this is simply because the front-facing camera of ANY smartphone is total crap compared to the rear-facing camera. And for vlogging, this is a must because it's used for that almost exclusively in order to frame your shots. Why smartphone manufacturers never address this is still a wonder to folks like us (techie types who care about quality (not just, "good enough").
I’m still torn between the two.
Also what brand is your hat with the palm tree logo? Love it.
Thanks👍👍👍
Thanks David for your video at least I have some idea which one to choose. I have subscribed your channel and wish you all the best. May I know which camera you are using to make this Tutorial Video and my concern is also can I use Go Pro or the Action 3 for making some Tutorial videos. I will really appreciate for your ideas.
Thank you
Stopped at 5:51 to see shadow on your shirt to confirm what thought to be the Gopro. Gopro all the way!
Do you think the magnetic mount would be strong enough for using off-road on a motorcycle or 4x4?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on HERO11 Black, David! Glad to hear you're stoked on the larger sensor, 10-bit color + detailed image quality. 👏
Those are great but not all that useful if the camera constantly freezes up. How stable and reliable is the GP 11 compared to previous iterations? I've missed out on SO MANY shots because of random freezes on my Hero 7 and 9...😭😭😭
@@travsformation1 I have an 11 and have yet to have any freezing issues.
@@travsformation1 The GoPro stays in focus at a close distance. The focus issue on the Osmo was a deal breaker. I can deal with heat with a metal cage and limit my clips to 10min in my studio. I have no answer for an out-of-focus lens
I will never buy a GOPRO again. Not even a used one at a garage sale. Cameras fail and now NOPRO charges users monthly to use editing app and that doesn't work....gopro is NOPRO
very good 10 bit 👑👍 thanks go pro
How do you compare them now with the new update in the action 3?
Hi David Manning, love the detailed video. Just a question though... been seeing more and more youtube reviews popping up where bloggers/reviewers were flagging the focus issue on the new DJI Action 3. Did you or are you also encountering this issue? Hope you could let us know in your tests.
How to GoPro Reset without pulling out the battery: press and hold power button for 8 seconds, and release. It will reboot
Thanks for the video man!
Great review!
the question is, will details improve on dji after 10 bit update?
Thank you David, I wanted to ask what camera was you using indoors to do the briefing review ? The quality is astonishing 🎉 👊🏾
Good ole A7Siii
what are your thoughts on the action 2 vs the action 3?
Battery life?
Can you adjust the contrast in the action3?
Gonna go with the Go pro 11. Thanks for the comparison.
With what UA-cam is doing with shorts it seems like it makes the GoPro a better choice since you won’t need to decide before you shoot or shoot twice.
Sometimes shooting twice isn’t an option.
I'm awaiting my GoPro 11 next week 🥳I think i watched every comparison video there is on UA-cam and for me personally it makes more sense to stay with GoPro. I can still use all my batteries and accessories that i have for my GoPro 10. The new sensor format is super practical for creating content on multiple platforms without needing to shoot the same thing with 2 GoPros for example. And from what i've seen the 10bit does make a difference. So upgrading from the 10 i should be able to upgrade the quality of my timelapses and cinematic videos. I guess the decision really depends on each person's needs. I can imagine that for other people the DJI might be the better option. I do hope that GoPro steps up their game for the next release though🤞
the main take, wait for the Dji update to 10 bit and then we talk hahah good video,
Muuuuh thank you. I need a good because I do a lot of POV night drive with my boys to car meets.
I have Gopro heo 10.. The imporvement s to the color 10 bit is really good for me..but willl wait for gopro 12 then!
I'd go with DJI on this one. By experience with most of my DJI devices, they all get better in time with constant updates. It would be a steal getting it for a lower price with even more value for money in the long run.
I will ask a different question. I use the Osmo Action Original and "as well as the Pocket" and am very happy with the Original Osmo. So with that said,, if you were a small channel like us would you see fit to upgrade to the Osmo Action 3?
I like gps on action cameras. I don't know why the osmo action doesn't have it, I hope so in new updates 🤞
What type of camera do I need to use on a 20' boat if I were to secure it into the bow and have it record toward the center of the boat? It needs to have a clear sound in windy conditions, video also needs to be on point too. Also, would I need a Bluetooth microphone?
I have my phone upgrade due this year so waiting to see if the iphone 14 pro footage is good enough to use for video and if so i probably wont get one of these if i did i would lean towards dji as i have a phone gimbal, mini 3 pro so know the ecosystem well much like apple is . i know it will work.
Without even watching this video all the way through I can tell you my next camera will be an Osmo. Had the first one, and yes it’s a bit less polished for video/audio quality, but it works everytime I turn it on. Unlike GoPro that I frequently get dropped footage or audio. Hero 7,8 and 10 all have the issue. And when I’m filming, it’s a motorcycle trip so I can’t just reshoot a bad shot due to file corruption. Have not once had corrupted files or dropped shots with OSMO.
Will You compare GP 11 to Insta360 X3?
Great video - thank you! Question: If you record for a long time, does the GoPro 11 still chop it up into multiple 6-8 minute clips or does it save it as one file? Does the Action 3 chop up or save as one file?
Both cameras split recordings into 4GB chunks. With the GoPro Labs firmware, you can choose to have 12GB files.
Brilliant review as always! Definitely going for the Osmo Action as it ticks all the boxes of what I need and most importantly the stability. Not to mention the price, makes this the better bang for your buck proposition.
I just started using the GP Hero 7 for snowmobiling. I have manage to get it to stay on for at least an hour or more by using a external battery/charger and I am running it thru the GoPro MIC adapter since I am also running a MIC in my helmet. I will be trying a Hero 10 for 2023-24 sled season but I agree, GP in the cold are just awful. I carry to internal batteries in case one just freezes up inside the camera even though it's attached to and external Bat/Charger (26000 mh). Now, I am riding in temps of 20 F and below then add in the windchill of riding at 50 +/- mph = short batt life. I would be hesitant to switch to the DJI 3 because that means replacing everything I have purchased. I am on a super tight budget, so buying things twice is not in the budget. Overall, this was a super informative review. Thank you for posting.
It has nothing to do with the topic, but the family in the video looks so lovely :D
On my channel, I explore old abandoned mines so it's one of the most difficult environments that an action camera could face. I'm currently shooting with a GoPro 8 using an Aputure F7 for light. That combination works AMAZING. It's dark, dirty, dusty, and the camera gets banged around on the rocks the entire time. I've yet to have an issue. And the footage is far better than I ever expected. With front and rear microphones, the audio captures my voice as well as those in front of the camera. No need for an external microphone. I will be upgrading in the near future to get that 10 bit color. Thanks for your side-by-side review. It confirms my thoughts on upgrading. 🙂
Love your videos! I'm still so torn on the 2, hopefully I can stop over analyzing them and decide soon! Also with the amount of times I drop my phone I definitely need a action camera to withstand my clumsiness 😂
Hey David - thoughts on the benefits of GoPro being a US based company vs. DJI? I tried to update my older DJI pocket and I can't upload the app anymore. Research is showing the Apple/Google aren't allowing the newest versions due to Chinese tracking? I am pretty heavily investing in DJI products (Drone, Action Cams, Gimbles) - but I don't want to have to manually download APKs and worry about other issues. Are you running into this issue with the newest DJI action cams?
Great review- I do stand up comedy and want to be able to turn on the camera using a remote control key fob. Do you know if both have this option - i know go pro do have this option.
Great video 👍🏼 my GoPro died in Iceland this year so looking at a new camera and i might choose the Action 3 this time (always had a GoPro) and yeah kinda need a action camera, i’m not mounting my phone to my car or head 😂
GP 9 left a baaad taste in my mouth with all the issues it had. As my first action cam the GP was a huge disappointment. Going with the Action 3 for best bang for your buck and RELIABILITY!!
Yeah GP9 often freezes
Ok man just so you know after watching your 2nd video on the two cameras you can cross out the mounts for the action video and get the best of both worlds. Yeah you can use the snap mount with the DJI action 3. That would like you use all of your gopro mounts with the DJI actoion 3!
My surefire way to get the gopro to freeze up was to turn it on, when the screen comes on for me to see the battery percentage level, I'll hold the power button to turn it off. After the power off beeps, it's actually frozen. Always get a flat battery like this when I reach my activity venue.
