Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, We are going to illustrate YI M1 and Hasselblad X1D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. YI M1 has external dimensions of 114 x 64 x 34 mm (4.49 x 2.52 x 1.34″) and weighs 350 (including batteries). Hasselblad X1D has external dimensions of 150 x 98 x 71 mm (5.92 x 3.86 x 2.81″) and weighs 725 g (1.60 lb / 25.57 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front view size comparison of YI M1 and Hasselblad X1D. YI M1 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 36mm narrower, 34mm shorter and 37mm thinner than Hasselblad X1D.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
YI M1 is significantly lighter (375g ) than the Hasselblad X1D which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Hasselblad X1D has a Medium format sensor and YI M1 has a smaller Four Thirds sensor, YI M1's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Hasselblad X1D lenses.

Weather Sealing
Thanks to the weather sealed body of X1D, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to M1.
LCD Screen Size and Features
YI M1 and Hasselblad X1D's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3".
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
YI M1 has a 20.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Hasselblad X1D has a 51.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Hasselblad X1D's sensor provides 31MP more than YI M1's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the M1 and X1D sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of YI M1 and Hasselblad X1D Cameras
As seen above, Hasselblad X1D has a 6.5x Larger sensor area than YI M1. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that YI M1 has an advantage over Hasselblad X1D. There are 107 lenses for YI M1's Micro Four Thirds mount, on the other hand there are only 4 lenses for Hasselblad X1D's Hasselblad X lens mount.
Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 31 lenses for Micro Four Thirds mount and 0 lenses for Hasselblad X mount with IS.
