These two multirotors just came out: the MJX X401H & MJX X601H. The first is a quadcopter and the latter is an hexacopter.

It's hard to talk about "better" when it comes to brushed toys. They will all get blown away by the first stiff breeze and have lousy cameras. I personally prefer quadcopters because that is fewer motors and gears you have to replace every dozen flights.
In general, the toy grade machines under $100 with "brushed" motors as opposed to more expensive units with brushless motors. Brushless motors last for 100's or 1,000's of hours while many brushed motors and gears on quadcopter "toys" last from 6-20 flights. In my experience - and I have tested dozens of various toy (under $100) models, every one of them needs constant replacement of parts - and doing so is often beyond the ability of many buyers. I like toy models for learning - but look at them as somewhat disposable. I have probably lost 7 or 8 of them to the wind and water. Also, I haven't noticed much improvement in these over the years. The old Hubsan Quads 107 is still one of the best around for learning. This is because many of the updates involved weight and complexity and this wears even more on the motors and batteries. I enjoyed my early toy machines and learned a lot - but these are not really "drones" nor are they good for much except initial learning. IMHO, anyway.
I agree, if your getting into the hobby, there a few options out there that might be around $200 range that are great for beginners. Extremly reliable and very well made. The drones you listed as stated before are considered toy grade and only give you a few good flights before the trim is all out of whack and you find yourself struggling just to keep it in the air. Although, I have flown some good toy grade drones, the Dromida Ominus lasted a long time and it was great until the wind took it and ended inside of a lake lol. My recommendations are to go full carbon fiber and get yourself a hobby grade machine that can be fixed and modified as you learn to fly. Good luck bud!
I totally get what you're saying and you're right. But some people (like me) don't want to spend too much money on something they aren't sure they'll like, that's why drones like these exist. Then of course I don't expect them to be as good!
I'm considering buying a phantom because of their qaulity and durability. Their so common an so many videos of them on you tube, you know what you're getting. ( By the way, can someone tell me how to start a new thread, i found how to before out of shear luck, now I can't find where you start your own thread.
Oh, hey. Thanks for your feedback! I'm sorry but I just saw your message, it was hidden or something, lol.
