## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted testers (Tom's Guide, TechRadar) both crown the X4 the best handheld 360 camera, praising 8K resolution, FlowState stabilization and battery life. Tom's Guide field-measured battery (73 min at 8K/30p; 131 min at 4K/30p; ~111 min at 4K/60p) and thermals (no overheating in 4K tests). TechRadar was hands-on over several weeks but reported battery as the maker's 135-min rating rather than an independent number, so no measured values are recorded for it. Both flag the huge 8K files, and Tom's Guide adds price and bulk. (Based on 2 reviews, 1 lab-tested, 2024-04-18–2024-04-30.)

Praised: Best-in-class handheld 360 camera; 8K resolution enables much higher reframed output (2.7K vs X3's 1080p); Excellent image stabilization (Insta360 FlowState); Superb battery life; strong thermal performance (no overheating in 4K tests, per Tom's Guide).
Flagged: Large 8K video files that eat storage and need a powerful device to edit; Pricey and bulky compared with traditional action cameras; 8K/30p 360 warns against static shooting to avoid overheating.
Disagreement: No real cross-source conflict; both are strongly positive. The only asymmetry is testing depth: Tom's Guide field-measured battery and thermals, while TechRadar's 135-minute figure repeats the manufacturer's rating rather than an independent measurement, so it carries no verified measured values here.
