I have the a119 mini 2 and its been great. I actually ordered this one to put in my secondary car that doesn't get driven as much as my main car. Hoping to have it installed in a few days once it arrives.
One little tip i found, depending on your phone, is to buy a usb c micro sd card reader and keep it in your car. If you ever need to pull up footage, just pop out the micro sd, plug in your usb c adapter and you can view the footage right on your phone.

I have the original A119 and found the dashcam can act as the card reader if you connect to a computer or phone as long as you have right connection. Mine has the older mini USB so I plugged a USB-C to USB-A adapter into my phone, and then the USB-A to Mini USB and it shows up as a removable drive. I can then save clips directly off the SD card to my phone and from there I can put it in iCloud, email it, etc. Newer models like this one have WiFi built in, so you can transfer clips without taking out the memory card or connecting it with a cable.

This is brilliant. Hope it works on iPhone.

Oh yeah make sure you turn it off first, I tried pulling the SD card while it was recording and it corrupted the active video file

Definitely, kinda similar to the USB card reader I use. It's the size of a thumb drive and I just keep it in my car. Works great for saving to phone

My A129 PLUS DUO comes with USB A card reader. Coupled with USB C to USB A adapter, I can read my microSD content directly on my Pixel phone. Keep in mind that you can do all that without removing the microSD card. WiFi connection should let you review the footage albeit at much slower speed if you copy to the phone.

So....Viofo is a reputable dashcam brand to begin with. They do make great dashcams.

And then, when it comes to 2K, you might find so many brands/models claim they support 2K, but resolution is not the only factor that matters. Some brands have Sony STARVIS gen 1 only and also support 2K which is great, but STARVIS 2 give you much better readability on license plates especially when dark, say night. This has been my personal experience and, you can find all kinds of reviews on Youtube proving this.

Furthermore, this model uses capacitor as opposed to lithium battery which is used widely by many others. It is a great safety improvement especially if you live in an area with hot summers.

Last but not the least, I fully agree with the idea of leaving a TF card reader in your car for emergency and I actually do that myself too. But when it comes to Wifi transferring, for the sake of this discussion, 5GHz is the one to go as opposed to 2.4GHz only (some models out there). I can testify that 1min of video recording file with 2K resolution takes about 200M-300M space already, and imagine the case if you configured the video file length to be 2min or even 5min. Again, just for the sake of this discussion, 5GHz provides much better transferring speed between the dashcam and your cellphone.

Overall speaking, I do see this model ticks all boxes of important features (in my view) with a competitive price.

No built-in screen. I am thinking that A119 mini 2 may be a better option with the same
Starvis 2 and a built-in screen

I can't speak to Viofo video files specifically, but I used a cheap, random-brand USB-C SD card reader with my iPhone 15 Pro Max to view the files from my Canon R10 mirrorless camera. I imagine that most dash cam manufacturers use common video codecs for universal playback.

does anyone know if the GPS speed function can be disabled?
meaning, in the recorded clip, there is no info of speed, can that be done in this model?

Can't comment on this model specifically because it's so new, but definitely can be removed on Viofo in general. I'd be surprised if this one is unique.
