- A new packaging leak for DJI Osmo 360 has revealed its potential specifications
- The leak suggests it shoots 8k/30p video and offers 10-bit color depth
- It can also cost a little less than insta360 x5
This year’s match for the 360 cameras is warmed nicely and a new leak for one of the most important challengers, DJI Osmo 360, has just given us a solid glimpse of how it can compare with the class leading Insta360 X5.
The packaging leak, first shared by the reliable quadro_news on x (below), shows what seems to be the final retail packaging for DJI’s debut 360 camera. And that box easily includes a list of OSMO 360 specifications that at least appear (at least) to be slightly better than the current top dog in our guide to the best 360 cameras.
Despite the size of this leak, one of the most important specifications – sensor size – remains unclear. The back of the box says OSMO 360 is capable of “1-inch 360 imaging.” But further down, the small print says “When you catch 360 content, the OSMO 360’s CMOS sensor has an imaging area similar to that of a 1-inch CMOS sensor.”
Exactly what it means is not clear yet. Previous leaks have suggested that Osmo 360 could have square sensors, which may explain DJI’s “equivalent with” language to the imaging field. Either way, we will probably have to wait for the official launch to get confirmation.

The rest of the leaked specifications are well compared to the Insta360 X5 (see table below). Osmo 360 will apparently be capable of 10-bit color depth-in affirmative falls it can provide greater editing flexibility than its Insta360 rival.
There is also the lift of 120MP set images and an alleged battery life that looks strong when you are considering it is quoted for 8K/30p video.
What about price? As @jasperellens noticed separately on X, the leaked Osmo 360 box was seen in an Australian store, so its pricing (starting on AU $ 759 for the standard bundle) is for that region. Exactly how it will convert to the United States and the UK is calling to see, but in theory it compares well with the Insta360 X5.
The X5 starts at $ 550 / £ 520 for its standard bundle, which does not include accessories such as an additional battery, charging case, selfie stick or lens guards, all of which come essentially bundle. If we use the OSMO 360’s Australian pricing as a guide, it should start somewhere around $ 500 / £ 500 mark.
How does OSMO 360 and X5 compare?
Obviously, there is much more for 360 cameras than just their specifications. Software is especially important for the experience as editing is important when you need to transform 360-degree videos into traditional ‘flat’.
But based on the leaked specifications and pricing, DJI definitely seems to enter the 360 -room competitive. It is not surprising-insta360 has dominated 360 cameras for years, and its last fifth generation flagship is excellent, so the Osmo 360 has to be a strong start for DJI.

If it distributes the Insta360 X5 in some areas (10-bit uptake, stronger low-light performance) for a slightly lower price tag, it will be good news for anyone who wants to buy a 360 camera. And potentially bad news for GoPro, whose max 2 is now imminent.
The Insta360 definitely seems to be on defensive, recently launched a large battery-boosting firmware update for its flagship camera along with some new accessories and a new BMW Motor-Rad version of X5 for motorcyclists. Let the 360 camera matches begin.
