A decade in the making, the best 360 camera is about to get a major overhaul with 1-inch sensors – and it’s finally arriving in just a few days

A sketch of the Insta360 X6 shared in an early teaser.

One of Insta360’s best immersive cameras is about to get a major overhaul with one-inch sensors and three AI chips. According to fresh teasers, the 8K Insta360 X5 will debut on August 12.

The current Insta360 X5 is “easily the best 360-degree camera out there,” but if the teasers are any indication, the X6 will usher in a new era for the series. Insta360 hints that the X6 uses one-inch sensors – a boost from the X5’s pair of 1/1.28-inch sensors. The company says that those new sensors are “custom Sony sensors,” suggesting they were tailor-made for the immersive 360 view.
