Insta360 has unveiled its latest flagship, the X6 360 Camera, boasting a host of cutting‑edge features compressed into a sleeker chassis.
At the heart of the X6 lies a custom Sony 1/1.1‑inch sensor, 33 % larger than its predecessor and capable of capturing four times the light. This upgrade powers 8K 360‑degree footage at 50 fps, and for the first time in a 360 camera, native Dolby Vision support and 10‑bit colour depth are built into the body.
The device is powered by a triple‑AI architecture, featuring two dedicated imaging processors and a Qualcomm 8‑core, 3.3 GHz, 4 nm chip that prioritises low‑light performance. Users can switch between a full‑360 mode, an InstaFrame 2.0 gimbal‑style view, or a conventional single‑lens action mode that records up to 5K at 60 fps or 4K at 120 fps.
Battery life sees a dramatic boost, with the X6 delivering 140 minutes of 8K/30 fps playback—51 % longer than the X5—while a full charge is achieved in just 24 minutes at 80 % capacity.
The camera also introduces more durable, 60 % cheaper replaceable lenses, a 2.32‑inch 1,200‑nit OLED touchscreen that remains always on, and 47 GB of internal storage.
In Australia, the Insta360 X6 is now on sale for AUD 1,049, and the device is immediately available for purchase. You can secure your copy directly here.
