Also Vixia mini was quite popular among Vloging crowd(atleast in Asia) and this looks like a decent replacement for that camera with larger sensor.

Specs(translated) from Digicame:
View attachment 208910

Most like the same sensor found in Sony Rx0 series of cameras.

Edit: More photos of new camera:
If those numbers are correct, it is shooting native (i.e. not downscaling from 5k or 6k) and we can safely assume it is using a Canon sensor (likely a descendant of the sensor in the XC10). The first part makes sense for low battery consumption, but the ouput won't be as sharp as it could be and the second part makes sense from a business perspective.

I'd be curious to see what the sensor is behind this lens. If it's a 1" or better, I would get one, especially if it can do 4k 60p. Right now I use a GoPro Hero 9 mounted on top of my camera so I can have "B" roll video for weddings while I'm shooting. But it sucks in low light. Been waiting on GoPro to put out a 1" edition for better low light performance, but if this does that then I'm set!
The thing that makes a GoPro so perfect for your use case (and mine) is that there is no need to focus. That's one reason that GoPro has stuck with smaller sensors. That advantage disappears with a 1" sensor. I totally understand the desire for improved low light but when I'm shooting stills with a GoPro mounted on my R5, I don't want to think about what it is doing once I hit record.

So Omnivision sensor as canon doesnt seem to have 1in sensor with that pixel count?
Nah, it will be a Canon sensor. Look at the data sheet for the XC10. Probably the same sensor you are showing above. It is 4000x3000 for stills, but shows 13.36 MP total. Total MP is not well correlated to what actually comes out of the camera. If this new camera does stills, they will be 4000x3000 (i.e. 12.0MP). Also, the Omnivision sensor you refer to is 1/2.3", not 1".

1/2.3 sensors are off-topic. :)

The XC10 has a one-inch sensor, and the spec says:
Actual: 13.36 Megapixel (4224 x 3164)
Effective: 12 Megapixel (4000 x 3000)

I have no idea what "actual" and "effective" mean.
Actual means total pixels on the chip. Effective means the maximum number of pixels that you can use to produce an image. Virtually all sensors have perimter pixels that are not used to produce images, but can contribute to the quality of the image. prety good overview here https://www.keyence.com/ss/products/microscope/microscope_glossary/terminology/image_sensor.jsp

It should have had also basic phone functions.
WiFi and Bluetooth yes, but no way to drive phone functions in that form factor and not needed anyway. Low price and good image quality are the key requirements. A good phone App that will drive the camera would be handy in some scenarios also. The existing Canon mobile app may be adequate or may need a few tweaks.
