📷 Image quality
DJI wins the frame-rate race with native 8K60. But in real low-light shooting the X6’s larger square sensors hold color better and show visibly less noise — and its 10-bit Dolby Vision pipeline gives more grading room. For most creators, image quality favors the X6.
🛠️ Ecosystem and editing
Insta360’s app remains the reference for AI reframing, invisible selfie stick magic and one-tap edits. DJI counters with built-in storage, DJI Mic pairing and its magnetic mount system. Software: X6. Hardware convenience: Osmo 360 II.
💰 Price
The Osmo 360 II undercuts the X6 by a wide margin — if it ships internationally near its converted China price, it’s the value play of the generation.

Which should you buy?
- Buy the Insta360 X6 for the best overall image quality, low light and editing workflow.
- Buy the DJI Osmo 360 II for 8K60, built-in storage and a lower price — especially if you already use DJI Mic.
Better low light, better colour, better software — the complete package.
