2. The camera will support 8K output, continuing the capability of its predecessors, the X4 and X5.

The Insta360 X5, which came out just last April, is already getting a refresh. It replaced the older Insta360 X4 model, and now there’s a limited edition called Satin White that we reviewed last month. It looks like Insta360 is gearing up to introduce something new in their X series, which has caught a lot of attention.
New Camera Details
So far, the company has only revealed a few tidbits about the upcoming device. For example, it’s confirmed that the new action camera will be capable of outputting at 8K, just like its predecessors, the Insta360 X4 and X5, which is currently priced at $549 on Amazon. The official launch is scheduled for October 28 worldwide, with releases for Canadian and US markets happening shortly after.
Design Insights
Insta360 has shared a sneak peek of the camera’s top, as seen in the teaser released. A Reddit user has hinted that the new camera is actually the Insta360 X4 Air, which aligns with some of the marketing images showing the camera floating away with balloons. The tagline “Pack light, shoot 8K,” matches Insta360’s official teaser, and a leaked image suggests that the design of the Insta360 X4 Air is quite similar to its earlier versions, though it features a more straightforward button layout at the bottom.
Pricing and Specs
According to the leaker billbil-kun, the Insta360 X4 Air is expected to go for €399.99 in Europe, with a Starter Pack option that includes more accessories priced at €429.99. Generally, Insta360’s action cameras are priced slightly lower in the US, so a price around $350 might be more realistic. This same leaker also mentioned that the Insta360 X4 Air will have a 1/1.8-inch camera, which should outperform the current Insta360 X4 along with other improved hardware features.
