The Insta360 X6 seems to get closer to its official release. Prior to the anticipated release, some marketing photos and specifications of the new device leaked online, providing a glimpse of what the next 360-degree action camera from the manufacturer will look like. According to WinFuture's Roland Quandt, who posted the leaks, it seems that Insta360 aims to develop a smaller camera that also provides good video recording features.As seen in the leaked photos, the design of the upcoming Insta360 X6 continues to follow the same design language as other cameras in the series but now sports a smaller body. Previously, the series had taller devices, but the upcoming model looks like it will be shorter than its predecessor and similar in size to ordinary action cameras.About The AuthorJournalist and a writer with a strong interest in news, culture, technology, and human-interest stories. Passionate about making complex topics accessible and engaging.Similar to the previous X-series models, the Insta360 X6 still retains the same design with two fisheye lenses at the front and back of the camera body for shooting 360-degree videos. The placement of the display has now been relocated to the bottom area of the back camera, and the power and recording button is placed beside it.Despite having an almost similar design, the new Insta360 X6’s compact design might increase portability without changing much of the user experience. But the question that comes to mind here is that with its new compact design, would the battery capacity be affected or not?8K Video Gets a Significant UpgradeOne of the most exciting things that have been discovered by means of the leaked marketing information is that the video recording capabilities of the camera have been greatly enhanced. As the Insta360 X6 is claimed to be able to shoot video in 8K with up to 50 frames per second in 360-degree mode.It is quite clear that compared to the previous model, the Insta360 X5, that supports video shooting in 8K at 30fps, the new Insta360 X6 will bring considerable improvements. The higher frame rate will provide much smoother footage, especially in case of fast movements and will provide more opportunities for editing videos and cropping them.Previously there were reports about the possibility of 8K recording at 60 fps, however, according to the pictures, released, the camera will support 8K recording only at 50fps. There is no information about whether there will be higher fps in other recording modes.More articles by AuthorTrending StoriesAs for the hardware, besides improved recording, nothing special can be seen in the marketing pictures.Compact Body Could Come with Trade-offsThough the slimmer size will be attractive to people who want a portable action camera, this creates some amount of ambiguity as well.Action cameras are usually used for prolonged periods of recording; hence, the battery power becomes an important factor.
