Redmi Pad Review: The New Budget Tablet King

In this review, I will be discussing my experience of using the all-new Redmi Pad for around a month. For starters, this is Xiaomi’s first tablet under the Redmi brand, a division that has built its entire reputation with value-for-money bargains. And this just feels like yet another winner and I have a lot to talk about it.

Before we begin

But I’m going to hold my excitement for later and start with a major concern. Like I said in my budget tablet buy-guide video, the thing that initially impressed me about the Redmi Pad was its software. But it turns out that the software experience across multiple memory configurations of this tablet is not the same.

You see, the base 3/64GB variant of the Redmi Pad skips even some basic features like split-screen and floating window. And the company has been really sneaky about it, only mentioning it deep down the product page.

And if an experienced reviewer like My Next Tablet can get fooled, I believe it’s even worse for general consumers. So, even if the starting price feels tempting, the base 3/64GB variant is not “THE RIGHT CHOICE”. I personally think the 4/128GB is the best value but unfortunately, it is not available in Nepal. Only the 6/128GB variant is available in Nepal which costs Rs. 34,999.

Software

With pricing out of the way, let’s get back to the Redmi Pad review, starting with the software, which honestly was a major surprise for me. I was not expecting much in this department as it is not Xiaomi’s strongest suit based on my experience with the Xiaomi Pad 5. So, I was taken aback by this version of MIUI for Pad when I started using it. It’s surprisingly light, void of bloatware apps, and comes with some really useful features.

For starters, it has this iPadOS-like dock that houses up to 7 frequently used apps, with space for recently used apps on the right.

You can use the dock to quickly launch an app. Or once an app is open, you can simply drag a second app from the dock to open it in a floating window or trigger the split-screen mode. Redmi Pad even allows you to save split-screen combos on the homescreen, saving you a ton of time when accessing your favorite pair of apps. Like browsing Chrome while you’re simultaneously watching a YouTube video, for example.

And the good thing is that the dock is accessible from the homescreen as well as other apps, making it a great tool for multitasking. Another feature that I’m quite fond of here is the lock screen YouTube playback. It’s not as flexible as the Background Stream on Oppo Pad Air but it’s useful nonetheless.

While I could go on and on about Redmi Pad’s software, the point is that Xiaomi is certainly on the right track with this edition of MIUI for Pad, building helpful features on top of a clean UI. The company has even promised three years of security and two generations of Android updates.

In future editions though, I would love to see Xiaomi add an option to opt out of this style of control center since it doesn’t make sense in a tablet. I would also appreciate a sidebar of some sort with shortcuts for smart functions like screenshots and screen recording baked in. And a cross-device collaboration feature would be fantastic as well.

Design and Display

Now let’s get into the design side of things. While most budget tablets sport a plastic-metal hybrid build quality, Redmi has gone with an all-metal body that feels sturdy and fairly premium too. Likewise, the matte finish on the back also helps conceal fingerprints.

Over on the front, you get a 90Hz display, which is a first in the budget segment. No wonder Redmi Pad feels smoother than any of its competitors! That’s especially noticeable when switching between landscape and portrait modes. What’s even better is that the tablet knows when to switch back to 60Hz to save battery.

Other than that, Redmi Pad has 10.6” 2K LCD screen which is pretty standard among other budget tablets that I have reviewed recently. There’s also Widevine L1 certification which means you can stream movies and shows at high resolution on your favorite OTT platforms. In my spare time this festive season, I binged Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix, and the neon lights of the Night City looked great on the Redmi Pad.

The screen gets quite bright while the colors and contrast are on point too. And it’s paired with powerful quad speakers which sound quite enjoyable when watching movies and such. I do wish it was a bit louder though. The audio quality is kinda flat by default, but you can tweak it a little using the Dolby Atmos equalizer.

Performance and Battery

Moving on, Redmi Pad is powered by MediaTek’s Helio G99 chip, which brings a decent balance of raw performance and power efficiency. It is based on TSMC’s 6nm process, which when paired with the tablet’s 8,000mAh battery, results in excellent battery life.

Redmi Pad supports 18W charging, and you get a 22.5W charger in the box itself which takes the tablet from 0 to 100% in over 2.5 hours. A full charge usually lasted me for 3 days under casual usage, consisting of a lot of media consumption and scrolling through different social media apps.

Gaming Experience

I also added a few games to the mix every now and then during my review of the Redmi Pad. And yes, you can get a fairly playable experience on most games by adjusting the settings a little. For instance, PUBG: Mobile runs stable at 40 fps on Smooth graphics and Ultra frame rates. But since Redmi Pad doesn’t have a gyro sensor, it might feel somewhat restrictive to those who are used to it.

Likewise, you can enjoy stable 60 fps gameplay on Mobile Legends: Bang Bang with graphics and frame rate both set to high. I also tried some higher refresh rate games here. Alto’s Odyssey runs at 90 fps while there are noticeable frame drops in comparatively demanding titles like Black Ops and Mech Arena.

Day-to-Day Usage

That aside, Helio G99 on the Redmi Pad is powerful enough to handle your day-to-day usage and light multitasking. You will have no problem reading e-books, writing emails, and attending online classes with this thing. Although Xiaomi doesn’t bundle Redmi Pad with any stylus, you can use a third-party stylus such as WiWU Pencil Max to take notes. Also, while the built-in note app has a handwritten mode, I recommend using third-party apps like Squid instead for a better experience.

For online classes, there is an 8MP front-facing camera. It is not anything to write home about but can get you through casual video calls. Redmi is also set to introduce Apple’s Center Stage-like feature called “FocusFrame” with future software upgrades to make full use of the front camera’s wide 105° field of view. Then there’s an 8MP shooter at the back that you can use to scan notebooks and homework.

Redmi Pad Review: Conclusion

Wrapping up this review, Xiaomi has clearly scored another winner with its latest budget tablet. The company has struck a fine balance between affordability, usability, and features, making the Redmi Pad the best budget tablet in the market right now. Other than the software limitations on the base variant and a few other minor drawbacks, this is an excellent budget tablet. And the one to beat for other new newcomers.

Redmi Pad Review: Pros and Cons

Pros:

Smooth 90Hz display
MIUI for Pad looks promising
Great Battery Life
Decent gaming

Cons:

No headphone jack
Slow charging
No 4/128GB variant in Nepal

Sony finally unveils its next-gen VR headset, the PlayStation VR 2

Teased at this year’s CES, Sony has officially announced the PlayStation VR 2. Pre-orders for the headset have already begun, with availability beginning in February of next year. So, let’s take a look at what Sony has to offer with the PlayStation VR 2, as well as the expected price in Nepal.

Sony PlayStation VR 2 Overview:

Design

The PlayStation VR 2 takes design cues from the PS5’s family of products, in terms of look and feel. But in contrast to the PS 5’s fat-edge design, the VR 2 has rounded edges for better head comfort. Sony has also reduced the overall weight and size of the headset, though no specific figures have been provided.

A new addition to the headset is a vent along the front of the scope which should help you stay cool during longer gameplay sessions.

Sense Controllers

Meanwhile, the PS VR 2 controller has been completely redesigned by Sony. The “Sense controller” has an orb-like design that allows you to hold the controller naturally. It is equipped with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.

Additionally, there is a finger-touch detection feature that tracks triggers without the need to press any areas. This allows for a more natural movement. You also get the standard action stick and analog buttons.

Display

The PlayStation VR 2 has an OLED display with a resolution of 2000 x 2040 pixels per eye. That is, a total resolution of 4000 x 2040 pixels. The display operates at a refresh rate of 90Hz or 120Hz and supports HDR as well as foveated rendering.

The latter is a rendering technique that involves lowering image quality in peripheral vision in order to improve quality in areas where the user is looking. The headset also has a single built-in motor for improved haptics. It vibrates in response to the in-game events to help make games much more immersive.

Face Tracking

Like the original PS VR, the VR 2 must be wired to PS5 for use. However, you no longer need an external camera to register your movement. The headset tracks your movement and location using what it refers to as “inside-out tracking,” which uses cameras built right into the headset.

It supports eye-tracking too, which allows it to recognize where you’re looking even if you don’t move your head. The VR 2 also has a “see-through view” feature that allows players to check their surroundings without taking off the headset. Players can even use the headset to define the boundaries of their play area.

Rest of the specs

For audio, the VR 2 headset has a built-in microphone and a headphone port. Whereas you also get support for PlayStation’s 3D audio technology for spatial sound.

Sony has also announced a bunch of games that are compatible with the PS VR 2. This includes Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil: Village, Resident Evil 4 VR, No Man’s Sky, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, and other 15 titles.

Sony PlayStation VR 2 Specifications:

Display	OLED
Panel resolution	2000 x 2040 pixels (per eye)
Panel refresh rate	90Hz, 120Hz
Lens separation	Adjustable
Field of View	Approx. 110 degrees
Sensors	Motion Sensor: Six-axis motion sensing system (three-axis gyroscope, three-axis accelerometer) Attachment Sensor: IR Proximity sensor
Cameras	4 cameras for headset and controller tracking IR camera for eye tracking per eye
Feedback	Vibration on headset
Communication with PS5	USB Type-C
Audio	Input: Built-in microphone Output: Stereo headphone jack

Sony PlayStation VR 2 Price in Nepal and Availability

The PS VR 2 will set you back USD 550 for which you will get a VR headset, two Sense controllers, and stereo headphones. A charging station for the controllers is also available for $50. You can pre-order it here and it will be available from February 22, 2022. If and when the Sony Playstation VR 2 is released in Nepal, we expect it to cost NPR 85,000.

These are the Motorola smartphones eligible for Android 13 update

These are the Motorola smartphones eligible for Android 13 update

Now that Android 13 is official, several smartphone makers have confirmed the devices that will get the update. Motorola is one of these companies, which has released an initial list of the phones scheduled for the next Android refresh. So, here we will look at the Motorola smartphones that are eligible for the Android 13 update.

Motorola Android 13 Update Roadmap

Motorola has quietly revealed a total of ten Moto devices that will be updated to the latest version of Android. Unlike other brands, the company has not revealed an official rollout timeline. Rather, it has updated the security page for each smartphone that will be receiving the new Android refresh.

However, you need to do some digging to find out whether your device is eligible for the update. To begin, go to the “Select your product” tab (on the security page) and look for the Moto phones product family. Choose the family to which your phone belongs, followed by the device model.

Now, if your device is set to receive Android 13, it will appear as the ‘Next OS’ to be released. To save you from all this hassle, we have included the complete list below:

That said, Motorola is yet to outline a specific Android 13 release date for these smartphones.

Many of the smartphones in the G-series mentioned above are unlikely to receive the Android 14 update. For starters, G-lineup receives only one year of major OS updates. As a result, smartphones such as the Moto G71, which was released this year with Android 11, received only the Android 12 update. And are not even eligible for Android 13.

On the other hand, the company’s flagship Edge series of smartphones typically get two years of the software update and three years of security patches.

Apple Watch Ultra Review: The Best Apple Watch. Period.

After testing the new Apple Watch Ultra for a full 1-month, I’m finally ready to talk all about it in this full review. This was one of the biggest purchases I made this year and to be very honest with guys, I found it very very difficult to justify its price tag at first! But call me crazy.. the more I use this product, the more I am in love with it. Apple says the Watch Ultra is for those pro endurance athletes, scuba divers, mountaineers… and other similar groups of people. But even for a casual user like me, I’m a little inclined to say that it somewhat justifies the price tag given all the features you get here!

Apple Watch Ultra Review:

Design and Build

Titanium case (49mm)
Alpine Loop, Trail Loop, Ocean Band
IP6X dust resistant
MIL-STD-810H, WR100, EN 13319 certified

Yeah, the cheaper second-generation Watch SE and Watch Series 8 are completely fine for most iPhone users, but the Watch Ultra is like the iPhone Pro series; it has got everything! The first thing I really love about the Watch Ultra is this new badass design which feels more modern, distinctive, and ready for any adventure!

Frankly, I think the design of the regular Watch Series lineup has now started to age and it looks quite unexciting!

As a result, I have seen a lot of owners of older Apple Watch now paying a ridiculous amount to get the Watch Ultra instead. They just want to wear something that feels unique on their wrist! I also like how big the digital crown is this time, and it can come in really handy if you are wearing gloves while you are on a trek or riding a bike.

Apple Watch Ultra vs Series 7 - Display — Left: Watch Ultra | Right: Watch Series 7

There is also an extra “Action” button on the left, which is useful for activating certain shortcuts with just a click. The Watch Ultra is also a pretty robust device! Thanks to the Sapphire crystal glass protecting the display, I haven’t got any scratches on my unit until now, whereas if I recall, my Watch Series 7 suffered a lot of tiny scratches here and there in the very first month.

Definitely bulky

Likewise, I was also expecting the Watch Ultra to be quite bulky, given its sheer size and how thick this thing is. It doesn’t feel that way on my hand but I’m sure someone with a smaller wrist won’t feel the same way. Apple has used an aerospace-grade titanium frame which is 40% lighter than steel but just as strong as high-strength steel. So while it isn’t exactly ergonomic for everyone, it is quite tough. And you can check out Techrax’s video where he does drop tests, puts it in a jar of nails, hammers it, and the Watch Ultra survives all of these tests!

It is also EN 13319 and WR100 water resistant, which means it can withstand water pressure up to 100 meters. And if you are into scuba diving, this can also provide real-time underwater measurements up to 40 meters deep. The Watch Ultra is getting the Oceanic+ app later this year too, enabling an even more nuanced diving experience.

Apple Watch Ultra also has three new band options: Trail Loop, Alpine Loop, and Ocean Band! I got myself the Alpine Loop, which I know a lot of users have complained about for either being too loose or too tight. It took a little getting used to for me as well, but I now love it. However, this Alpine loop gets dirty pretty fast. And pretty easily. But a simple wash will do the trick. That being said, there are plenty of 3rd party straps that you can choose from that fits your style and comfort.

Display

1.92-inches Retina LTPO OLED panel
Always-on Display (AoD)
Up to 2,000 nits max brightness
Sapphire crystal glass protection

Ok, another aspect that the Apple Watch Ultra thoroughly nails is the display. It is not just bigger and brighter, but because it’s flat and not curved like the regular Apple Watch, scrolling and interacting with this display has been a delight. I can even use apps like a calculator without any struggle here.

Plus, the watch face called the “Wayfinder” takes great advantage of this big display.

There has never been so much information available at once on an Apple watch face before. It can host every information I’d want at a glance; from the active compass to workout details, and battery life. Like… everything. Plus, I absolutely love this blood-red night mode on this watch face, which can be activated simply by rotating the digital crown.

Performance

Dual-core Apple S8 SiP (7nm)
32GB internal storage
watchOS 9.0 (upgradable)

As for the actual performance, as expected from an Apple Watch, everything is fluid here. However, there isn’t much of a performance leap coming from previous generations. And there have been times when I wished the Watch Ultra had a slightly more powerful chipset because when there are a lot of apps running in the background, I felt it wasn’t as smooth as you’d want a USD 800 smartwatch to be.

Actually, the S8 chip in the Watch Ultra is manufactured under the same 7nm process and features a dual-core CPU as the S6 and S7 chips. No wonder Apple didn’t even talk about the S8 chip during the launch event! But with TSMC’s 3nm process set to enter mass production by the end of this year, we could see the next-gen Watch Ultra be more powerful and more battery efficient.

Battery

542mAh (up to 36 hours battery life)

Anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying the battery backup here. On my Apple Watch Series 7, I always had battery anxiety because it would never last me more than two days. But with the Watch Ultra, I am constantly getting 3 days of battery life.

Plus, with the latest watchOS 9.1 update, there’s a new option under “Low Power Mode” in the workout settings which takes fewer GPS and heart rate readings. And with that, you should be able to get even better battery endurance when you are going on a long activity, like a hike or marathon. But do not that this feature is only available with 3 types of exercises, including walking, running, and hiking.

Health, Fitness Tracking

50+ workout modes
- With automatic detection support of a few
Compass Waypoints, Backtrack
Dual-frequency GPS (L1 + L5)
Heart rate, stress, sleep, blood oxygen tracking, etc.

The Apple Watch Ultra is also one of the best smartwatches out there for health and fitness tracking. Apart from the regular SpO2, heart rate, and sleep tracking, this time it has a depth gauge that gives a real-time measurement of underwater depth down to 40 meters, along with water temperature readings.

And then there’s the dual-frequency GPS that uses both L1 and L5 frequency bands for more precise reading.

Typically, most mainstream smartwatches are loaded with the basic L1 GPS signal only, which is wildly open to signal interference from physical infrastructures like buildings, trees, and such. But the L5 signal—with its higher power, larger bandwidth, and advanced signal design—effectively gets rid of L1’s weaknesses.

Does L5 GPS really make a difference?

Not that it’s perfect by any means but it should definitely deliver much more accurate location data even in challenging locations. To test it out, I took the Apple Watch Ultra and Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5 Pro out for a spin across the densest areas that Kathmandu has to offer. And yep, the Watch Ultra logged my workout trail a lot more accurately than the Watch 5 Pro.

AppleWatchUltra - vs - Galaxy Watch 5 Pro - Workout Route — Red: Watch Ultra | Blue: Galaxy Watch 5 Pro

As you can see, under fairly open city space (mostly on the right side of the map), their GPS data is basically the same. But when entering congested areas with extremely narrow walking lanes (near the Aspatal Marg and Gangalal Marg in the map), the Watch Ultra stays on the course just fine, while the Watch 5 Pro’s workout route is all over the place.

Compass Waypoints and Backtrack

Another neat addition about the Apple Watch Ultra that I enjoyed while I was on a hike is “Compass Waypoints”. With this, I can pin important locations like where I’ve set my tent or camp, for example. And I like how you can color code and customize different waypoints as well.

Then there’s the “Backtrack” feature that records your steps to help you return to your original location in case you happen to get lost. And you don’t have any cell reception to call others for help either. By default, you’ll need to manually start it but Apple mentions that the Watch Ultra automatically starts logging your trail if it detects that you’re in a somewhat remote area with weak Wi-Fi or cellular signals.

And I’m not convinced that this is how Apple should be moderating such a critical security feature. I mean, it should be preemptively tracking my steps during workouts or at least give me an option to automatically enable it all the time, right? And not just when the watch thinks I might be in uncharted territory?

Anyway, I just couldn’t get automatic backtrack to work on my unit even in places with incredibly remote Wi-Fi signals showing up and where my phone was getting just a single bar of network. Not just me, but other reviewers have faced this issue with automatic Backtrack on their Watch Ultra too. So hopefully Apple is working on an update to fix it ASAP.

Impressive call quality, haptics

Moving on, the call quality on this watch is absolutely fantastic though. I’ve tested a bunch of smartwatches that can take phone calls but the Watch Ultra is on a whole different level. The onboard dual speakers get super loud and its triple microphones do a super job at picking up my voice as well. And you know what else is best-in-class here? The haptic feedback.

Besides this, the Apple Watch Ultra is also loaded with a loud 86dB siren for emergencies in case you’re lost or injured, and you want to alert others around you. Its SOS sound pattern can allegedly be heard up to 180 meters away. And testing it outdoors, the watch could be heard roughly 150 meters as well.

Apple Watch Review: Conclusion

Okay, so that was all for our review of the new Apple Watch Ultra. At USD 800, this thing is definitely a lot heavy on the wallet, whereas it’s also quite an overkill—even feature-wise—for most people. And the regular Watch Series 8, the second-gen Watch SE, or even last year’s Watch Series 7 (which is currently available at great deals in different markets) should be perfectly fine if you want the latest Apple Watch experience without all the bells and whistles.

But at the end of the day, this is an Apple product after all. So some folks are gonna buy the Watch Ultra simply because it’s the best watch Apple has to offer.

And it’s somewhat of a statement piece too. Just look at it. As I mentioned in the very beginning, it has this really badass design that clearly stands out from other Apple Watches. And I’ve seen many Watch Series 5, 6, and 7 owners upgrade to the Watch Ultra instead of Series 8 for this very reason. Plus, its robust build quality and great battery life are just cherry on top as well.

On the other hand, Apple is also set out to win over the pro endurance athletes with the Watch Ultra. I’m nowhere near qualified enough to evaluate it from that perspective. But from what I can gather, it comes pretty close. The Apple Watch Ultra successfully combines the versatility of a full-fledged smartwatch with sophisticated tracking features for even the most challenging outdoor activities.

Insta360 X3 Review: The Ultimate Action + 360 Camera

Let me spoil this review right at the very beginning—the new Insta360 X3 is by far the most fun camera I have ever used! There are just so many things that you can do with it. It’s a 360 camera that also works as a regular action camera. And don’t even get me started on how many creative shots and perspectives you can create from it!

The Insta360 X3 costs Rs. 66,500 here in Nepal, $450 in the US, or some Rs. 43,000 in India. I got the standalone version for myself which comes with the camera and the charging cable only. It made sense for me because I already had a few Insta360 One X2 accessories lying around, like the extended selfie stick/tripod and the bullet time cord, so I didn’t go for other versions.

And you must know that if you get the additional accessories, using this camera is going to be so much more fun and you’ll be able to get the most out of it. But of course, you’re gonna have to pay extra for each accessory. Ooh, almost forgot to mention one thing. Starting with the X3, Insta360 has decided to drop the “One” sub-brand in its “X” lineup of consumer-grade action cameras.

Insta360 X3 Review:

Let’s start with some technical details first. The Insta360 X3 comes with a whole bunch of features like a 48MP ½ inch sensor that can shoot up to 5.7K videos. And there’s the single lens mode with which you can shoot up to 4k 60 fps footage, which I like to call the Action Camera mode. Then there is the 360 Active HDR mode while the X3 lets you take 72MP photos and 8K 30 fps timelapses too.

As I said, a whole bunch of features!

Now, setting it up is fairly easy, you just need to turn it on, go through, and be done with a couple of updates, connect it to your smartphone and that’s it!

Design and Build

14 x 46 x 33.1mm, 180 grams
IPX8 waterproof (up to 33 ft)

The first thing I love about it is the form factor. It’s a tiny camera that easily fits in my pocket so it’s very handy. And the biggest upgrade this time in terms of the design is the larger screen. So, unlike the Insta360 One X2, you don’t need your smartphone to clearly see what you’re shooting.

With the X3, you can directly interact with the screen, look at what you’re shooting, change photo/video modes, and basically do everything with the camera itself—as a standalone device. All without having to go through the hassle of connecting it to your smartphone.

And there’s also a dedicated record & end button here. Just beside them is the button with which you can change between three lens modes: 360 mode (which is self-explanatory), then there’s the option to shoot from either the front or the back lens. This does not create a 360 video, but rather it gives a wide-angle perspective in case you want to shoot regular-ish videos at high resolution.

Camera

48MP ½ inch sensor, f/1.9, 6.7mm focal length
6-axis gyroscope stabilization

But what you need to know is that the single lens mode does not shoot beyond 4K 60 fps videos like the 360 lens mode does. And more importantly, it does not support Active HDR either, which I really hope it did. The Active HDR mode, which is only available in the 360 mode makes your videos look so much better, especially if you are shooting against harsh sunlight. It balances the shadows and lights to deliver a more pleasing output.

When shooting in the 360 mode, I mostly kept the Active HDR option turned on, because I feel like the videos from the normal mode look a bit dull in comparison. But the downside to this is that your file size increases drastically, so when I used to shoot for an entire day, I would have 20-25GB files which take quite a while to copy onto my MacBook.

Now, getting to the good parts, I’ve had a blast shooting 360 videos with the Insta360 X3. I feel like if you are someone who travels a lot, or if you like adventures and you make videos about it, this is a very good camera for you.

Usually what happens is, with a regular camera or even an action camera, you need to keep flipping the camera to shoot yourself and show what’s going on at the same time, you need to keep readjusting the frames, which can be tedious. But with this camera, you can just point to whatever direction when shooting and readjust it later, easy-peasy! So, if you are a vlogger, searching for an easy-to-use camera and you’re looking to spice up your videos with unique perspectives, you should definitely check out the Insta360 X3.

So. many. creative choices

Talking of unique perspectives, you can create so much fun stuff for social media or your vlogs with the Insta360 app that’s available for both Android and iOS devices.

All you need to do is extend its selfie stick, and you can generate clones of yourself, a Flash-like speedrun effect, or stop motion videos—all of which are super easy to create. Just head to the Short Labs option inside the app, choose your desired effect, follow what the tutorial says, and BAM—you have your content for social media.

With the rise of TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, you will not be short of interesting content to post on social media with this very camera.

One of my favorite effects is the one called “Freeze Throw” where you just throw the camera up in the air and it creates a cool slow-motion effect showing everything that’s around. I think it looks really cool. Another effect that I love is “Nose” mode, which looks something like this. And I find it hilarious! Remind you of anything, Attack on Titan fans?

Well, this is just the tip of the iceberg though. There are tons of such effects that you can choose from and make your content more interesting. Insta360 also has a desktop app called “Insta360 Studio“, which gives you the flexibility to edit from your desktop, if you don’t prefer editing from your phone.

What about the audio quality?

The Insta360 X3 includes a total of 4 microphones onboard, and their quality is not that bad. Unless you’re in a really windy environment or something. You also have the option to connect an external microphone if you’d like.

You can take the Insta 360 X3 for a swim or a dive too. It is IPX8 waterproof up to 33 feet, so you can create cool videos underwater. Sadly, I can’t swim, so I couldn’t try it out, but if you decide to get this camera and know how to swim, there’s yet another way you can get creative with your videos.

Battery

1,800mAh battery
Up to 81 minutes of runtime

Finally, with the increased battery size, the Insta360 X3 has been able to provide good battery life in my use. I never shot continuously day and night with this camera, but I did take it during my road trips and the time I went ziplining while turning it off when not in use. And under this, it lasted me an entire day.

Also, if you want to extend its battery life even more, I would suggest you lower the display’s brightness as well. And charging it is not a big hassle either. It connects via a USB-C port and takes about 1 and a half hours to go from 0-100%.

Insta360 X3 Review: Conclusion

Okay, as I have said many times throughout this review, the Insta360 X3 is a very fun camera to use. With its petite size and incredible capabilities, I also found it to be incredibly practical. But there are a few things I wished were better here. Like its app for example. I’ve had issues with rendering long videos here, while it would just crash out of nowhere while exporting too. And this holds true for both the mobile app and the desktop one. So, I definitely see room for improvement there.

And I wish they would change the placement of the SD card slot too. You literally have to take off the battery each time you need to take off the SD card to copy footage or swap it with another one. Goes without saying that if there was a separate memory card slot, it would have been a lot easier!

Next, I found that the Active HDR mode does not work well during slightly low light conditions either. I’m not talking about nighttime scenarios, but come sunset time, you can notice a lot of motion blur here.

And because the Insta360 X3 only has a ½ inch sensor, its performance in nighttime conditions is also not that good. You can switch to the manual mode and tweak some settings to get a somewhat better output though. So, if nighttime performance is important to you I would suggest you get the Insta360 One RS 360 camera that comes with a much bigger 1-inch sensor instead!

But if you don’t care about low light performance so much and you’re just looking for a good 360 camera, the Insta360 X3 is definitely worth it. You can even get its predecessor, the Insta360 One X2 if you are slightly low on the budget since their recording capabilities are quite similar. But if you can afford the X3, then its upgrades such as a bigger screen, bigger battery, and Active HDR mode come really handy!
