Insta360 debuts new flagship camera

Insta360, the 360 camera brand, has announced X6, its flagship 8K 360 camera and the biggest leap in the history of the X series. This year marks Insta360's 10-year milestone in 360 cameras.

Insta360 currently holds 71% value share by US$ of the global panoramic camera (360^o camera) market (according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Handheld Smart Camera Tracker Report, Q126). X6 is built to extend that lead by making one camera enough. 

“X6 is the camera we always wanted to build. It captures everything around you, in any light, and hands you a finished edit before you even reach for your phone," shared JK Liu, Founder of Insta360.

Custom dual Sony 1/1.1" square sensors deliver full 1" equivalent 360^o imaging, 33% more sensor area than X5 and around 4x the light intake per frame. This allows the camera to handle low light, harsh backlight, and high contrast situations easily.

Behind the sensors sits a triple AI chip: one eight-core 3.3 GHz 4 nm flagship processor paired with two dedicated imaging chips. Together they bring 500% more computing power than the X5, a 106% faster clock speed, and 35% lower power draw. The result shows up as sharper detail, cleaner colour, and denoising that holds in the dark. 

A new low-light mode adds two ambient light sensors to cut flicker and pull more out of night scenes, while AdaptiveTone 2.0 m each lens on its own and captures two exposures per frame for wider dynamic range.

X6 is also the first 360 camera with native in-camera Dolby Vision. Dynamic metadata is analysed frame by frame to set contrast and brightness for every shot. Paired with 10-bit colour and more than 1.07 billion recordable colours, X6 delivers a professional colour profile straight out of the camera.

There are three cameras in one. X6 is a 360 camera, a subject-tracking gimbal camera, and a single-lens action cam. X6 captures everything at a native 8 K 50 fps, so you come back later and pull the best angles from any direction. 

Clean flat 4K video is also available. InstaFrame 2.0 locks onto subjects instantly and tracks people, pets, and objects across the frame. Pair X6 with the new Foldable Selfie Stick Remote Kit and its joystick control turns that tracking into gimbal-style shooting, with no separate gimbal required. Add the POV Head Tracker and to capture whatever you turn to look at.

Traditional camera action is supported at up to 5 K 60 fps, wide-angle up to 170 degrees (at 5K 30 fps), or 4K 120 fps for slow motion.

Between the body and the accessories built around it, X6 covers work that used to take a 360 cam, tracking gimbal, and an action cam. X6 works with more than 100 accessories covering everything from everyday shooting to underwater, motorsport, cycling, and long-form recording. 

All of it connects through the same magnetic mounting ecosystem, which stays compatible with X5, X4 Air, and Ace series mounts. Standouts across the range include the X6 Power Selfie Stick for 180 extra minutes of runtime, the Foldable Selfie Stick Remote Kit with gimbal-style joystick control, the Bullet Time Selfie Stick 2.0, and a Fast Charge Case with dual battery and dual SD slots.

Motorcycle and cycling

Riders get a dedicated motorcycle set with a holographic speed dashboard overlay, auto-looping dashcam mode, and automatic license plate blur. Cyclists get stats-overlay support for Garmin, Apple Watch, and more.

Diving: The Invisible Dive Case Pro is a significant step up on the previous generation, taking X6 to 60m while staying clear of the stitch line so nothing shows in the finished footage.

Driving: Car mounts with a 1/4" adapter and an Electric Suction Cup Mount allow X6 to stick to glass without a permanent install, moving between vehicles easily for dynamic shots.

Flagship power in Your Palm

Flagship performance now fits in your palm. The 2.32" OLED screen hits 1200 nits of peak brightness and stays always-on, so you can frame a shot in direct sun, and Full Screen Press keeps controls responsive with gloves on.

The new 2,600 mAh Xtreme Battery records 140 minutes of 8K30fps 360 video on a charge, 51% longer than X5, and fast charges from empty to 80% in 24 minutes. It stays reliable down to -20°C / -4°F. Insta360’s patented Star-Ridge cooling runs 10% more efficiently than competing 360 cameras and adds an insulated grip, so sustained 8K recording stays cool and steady.

Replaceable Lens 2.0 is five times more scratch-resistant, sized for travel, and 60% cheaper to replace than the previous generation, so a scuffed lens on the trail costs less and slows you down less. X6 is waterproof to 20m bare (IP68) and to 60m with the Invisible Dive Case Pro, and it carries 47GB of usable built-in storage out of 64GB total, so you can shoot with no SD card in the camera.

Audio that Holds Up at Speed

X6 packs a 360 omnidirectional windproof array of four mics, plus a separate Hidden Engine Mic tuned specifically for motorcycle riders that filters wind and isolates engine sound. Intelligent Audio Mode reads the environment and adjusts automatically. For pro sound, connect two Insta360 Mic Air or Mic Pro transmitters at once through Direct Connect.

Stabilisation and Connectivity

FlowState stabilization and 360 Horizon Lock keep footage smooth and level no matter how the camera moves. NFC touch-to-connect pairs X6 fast, Wi-Fi 6.0 moves files wirelessly at 100MB/s, USB 3.0 hits 450MB/s wired, and improved Bluetooth pairs in five seconds and reconnects in under one.

Built for professional Post-Production

X6 gives colourists room to work. Shoot in I-Log to hold full dynamic range across highlights and shadows and get the widest latitude in post, then grade from 10-bit footage with more than 1.07 billion recordable colors. Insta360 Studio stays free on Mac and Windows for multi-clip 360 editing, stitching, and export.

Zero-Edit: A Finished Video While You Charge

X6 edits for you, and Insta360 PanoMind is what makes it possible. Built in-house and trained on more than 10,000 hours of footage across 30-plus scenarios including travel, daily life, winter sports, motorcycling, diving, and cycling, PanoMind is the first 360-native AI model to understand a full spherical scene rather than a flat frame.

Plug X6 in to charge and AI Director, the auto-edit engine inside PanoMind, builds a highlight edit from the footage on the camera and delivers the finished clips to the Insta360 app. Analysis runs on the camera itself rather than in the cloud, and the feature can be switched off at any time. No backlog, no timeline, no waiting.

When you want to shape a clip yourself, Auto Edit 2.0 turns one clip or many into a complete edit in a single tap: framing, camera movement, cuts, music, and transitions.

Insta360+ Cloud: Backup, Sharing, and Moments Pro

Insta360+ Cloud Service gives you up to 2TB of storage, with backup that runs while X6 charges, so a day of shooting clears off your phone without you doing anything. Backup is opt-in and you choose what gets uploaded. Sharing is a link that opens into a full 360 view rather than a flattened clip.

With X6, files uploaded to the cloud can then be utilised by Moments Pro, Insta360's latest cloud-side editing tool, built with Google Gemini. Set a subject, mood, style, and timeframe, and it generates videos for you. Where AI Director runs on the camera and hands you a finished edit with no input at all, Moments Pro is for when you already know the film you want and would rather describe it than build it.

Details

X6 is available via the Insta360 Store, Shopee, Lazada and select retailers worldwide, with availability in some markets to follow at a later date. Prices start from S$939 for the Standard bundle, and the Essentials bundle is priced at S$1,039. 

Purchase and activate X6 before September 30, 2026, and get one year of Insta360+ Premium cloud storage at 500 GB, plus three months of Moments Pro (offering two clips per month), at no extra cost. Buy and activate X5 or X4 Air in the same window to get one year of Insta360+ Premium at 200GB. Full terms are available in the Insta360 app.

Insta360 FlexiCare remains an optional add-on for buyers, covering accidental damage with up to four replacements in two years. A launch-window 90-day free replacement policy backs every early buyer, with Insta360's recently refreshed Trade-In program offering cash for old cameras or gear towards a new X6.

Vitafoods Asia to be in Malaysia in 2027

Vitafoods Asia, a regional event for nutraceutical ingredients, finished products, and contract manufacturing services, has announced that its 2027 edition will take place at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur from 21 to 23 September 2027. The 2026 edition was held in Thailand.

Source: Vitafoods Asia. The number of international exhibiting companies, country pavilions and trade visitors at Vitafoods Asia is growing.

The event will significantly expand its footprint, occupying 8 halls at MITEC over a gross exhibition space of 35,000 sq m. 

"Kuala Lumpur represents the future of nutraceutical innovation in Southeast Asia," said Rose Chitanuwat, Regional Portfolio Director - ASEAN at Informa Markets. 

"With Malaysia's market projected to reach nearly US$1 billion by 2030 and its position as a regional manufacturing hub, this move enables Vitafoods Asia to unlock unprecedented opportunities for our global community of ingredient suppliers, manufacturers, and brands. The combination of MITEC's world-class facilities, Malaysia's competitive advantages, and Kuala Lumpur's accessibility makes this the ideal location to drive the next phase of growth for our industry." 

The decision move to Kuala Lumpur reflects the organiser's commitment to leveraging the growing opportunities that Malaysia has to offer. As an established meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) destination, Kuala Lumpur provides advantages for the international nutraceutical community, including ease of travel from across the region, an extensive range of hotel and entertainment options at competitive costs, and a uniquely Asian experience that combines modern infrastructure with rich cultural heritage.

Malaysia's nutraceutical and dietary supplements market also presents opportunities for international companies across the value chain. The market is projected to be worth US$1 to US$1.1 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.2%, driven by rising health consciousness and a shift towards preventive healthcare among consumers.

For ingredient suppliers, Malaysia offers unique opportunities through its diverse natural flora for raw materials, strong demand for high-quality imported ingredients, and a rapidly growing halal-certified ingredients market aligned with the country's Muslim population. The market shows particular strength in functional ingredients, with rising demand for immunity boosters, age-related health products, organic formulations, and plant-based supplements.

Finished product companies will find a receptive market characterised by health-conscious consumers, rapid e-commerce expansion, and demographic trends including an ageing population creating sustained demand for specialised health products, the show organiser said.

Malaysia's contract manufacturing sector additionally offers significant competitive advantages, including well-developed infrastructure with a skilled workforce, cost advantages compared to developed nations while maintaining high manufacturing standards, and established manufacturers offering comprehensive services. These facilities are equipped to meet international regulatory standards, including USFDA, TGA, MEDSAFE, and EU guidelines, providing full-service capabilities from product development through manufacturing and packaging.

Details

Vitafoods Asia 2027 at MITEC coincides with Food & Hospitality Malaysia, which will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) from 21 to 24 September 2027. 

Registration and further details for Vitafoods Asia 2027 will be announced in the coming months.

AI is shaping financial outcomes for Singaporeans

● Nearly nine in 10 Singaporeans use digital platforms, including AI-powered chat tools, to manage or seek information about their personal finances. 

● Almost one in five Singaporeans who use AI tools for financial purposes have made financial decisions based primarily on AI-generated advice. 

● Despite high digital adoption, trust gaps still exist, and human supervision and expertise remain crucial.

 
Singaporeans are increasingly using digital tools not only to manage their money, but also for AI-generated advice to guide their financial decisions, according to a recent survey by MDRT, an association of financial professionals. 

Nearly nine in 10 (89%) are using at least one platform, such as mobile banking apps, financial websites or AI-powered chat tools, to manage their finances or seek financial information. Among these users, more than a third of Singaporeans (35%) now use AI tools for financial purposes, from information gathering to real-world financial actions, signalling a growing shift towards AI-assisted financial management. 

Source: MDRT infographic. Singaporeans are using AI to build financial literacy and compare different products.

Of those who have acted on AI-generated advice or used it as a starting point, 60% say it has influenced their savings or budgeting habits:

- Almost half (47%) have used it when choosing or switching financial products, such as loans, credit cards or insurance plans

- Four in 10 say it has informed major financial decisions, including large investments or property purchases 

- Nearly one in five AI users (19%) even rely primarily on AI-generated advice when making financial decisions

“Singaporeans are increasingly comfortable using technology in their everyday lives. I’m seeing more people use AI to better understand financial concepts or prepare for financial conversations, which is helpful. 

"However, AI is only as effective as the information it receives. It may not identify gaps in our thinking or ask follow-up questions that uncover important aspects of our financial situation. The risk is that decisions made based on incomplete information or narrowly framed questions may overlook critical considerations,” said Laura Hoi, a 22-year MDRT member with six Court of the Table qualifications. Court of the Table is an accolade given to MDRT members who have achieved specific milestones. 

While AI tools are gaining traction, established digital platforms remain the most commonly-used among Singaporeans, led by banking websites and mobile apps (52%), government financial portals (43%) and financial comparison websites (30%). 

That said, 29% use generative AI chat tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, while 14% turn to AI-powered chatbots offered by banks or financial institutions. They mainly do so to better understand financial concepts such as mortgages, investing and taxes (54%), as well as to compare financial products such as loans, credit cards and insurance (51%). 

The appeal lies largely in convenience (57%) and cost accessibility (52%), alongside the ability to simplify complex information (40%) and the freedom to ask follow-up questions (37%), MDRT said. 

Usage patterns reflected different levels of engagement with emerging digital tools across generations. Millennials and Gen Z are more likely to use AI to actively manage their finances, including budgeting and financial planning, while Gen X and baby boomers tend to use it primarily as a source of information. 

Despite AI's growing role in personal finance, most Singaporeans (81%) remain measured in how they use these tools, turning to them primarily to build knowledge and explore options rather than replace professional advice. Among those who have not acted or would not act on AI-generated advice (36%), the top concerns were the lack of human oversight or reassurance (45%), the fear of bias or errors (36%), and the risk of generic or automated responses (36%). 

Only 37% of Singaporeans who use AI tools are comfortable using them for personalised financial advice, and just 31% would use AI to review long-term financial plans, suggesting a strong preference for human guidance in financial decision-making. Those who currently work with a financial advisor show a similar preference, indicating that AI is seen more as a complement, rather than a replacement, to the client-advisor relationship. 

Face-to-face interaction is still highly valued. While digital communication is now widely accepted, around four in 10 Singaporeans who work with financial advisors still prefer meeting in person, particularly when discussing complex financial topics (42%), making important financial decisions (41%) or reviewing long-term financial plans (38%). 

In-person engagement becomes even more crucial during periods of market volatility or financial uncertainty, with half (50%) favouring face-to-face meetings with their advisors, highlighting the enduring importance of personal guidance and reassurance that direct human interaction provides when navigating critical financial decisions.

“AI can provide answers based on a snapshot of information, but financial planning goes beyond that. It’s about knowing the questions to ask, understanding each individual’s unique circumstances, and helping clients adapt their financial plans as their lives and goals evolve. 

"I believe the future is about combining the speed and accessibility of AI with the empathy, judgment, and long-term perspective that only trusted human relationships can provide to help people make more informed and confident financial decisions,” said Hoi.

*The survey was conducted online by market research and insights agency Opinium between April 6 and April 9, 2026. The Singaporean survey was fielded in English among a sample of 2,000 Singaporean adults, weighted to be nationally representative based on age, race and gender.

Singtel Group celebrates National Day with new film

Source: Singtel YouTube channel. Beyond Connection is Singtel's National Day film for 2026. 

Singtel Group has launched its 2026 National Day film, Beyond Connection. The film is a tribute to the spirit of progress that has shaped Singapore over 61 years, charting the country's journey from a resource-poor island in 1965 to today’s global economic success story before looking ahead to how digital infrastructure and AI will support Singapore's next lap as a Smart Nation and regional AI hub.

Beyond Connection also tells the story of Singtel's own evolution and the role it has played in nation building.

Yuen Kuan Moon, Group CEO, Singtel, said: “The story of Singapore has always been one of looking beyond the horizon and building for the future. Every generation has played a part in building a stronger foundation for the next and this includes investing in the infrastructure and capabilities that have helped us dream bigger. 

"As AI reshapes economies and societies, we are entering another defining chapter. As national telco to today's digital infrastructure and services group, we feel privileged that we can continue playing a part in driving Singapore's Smart Nation ambitions and continued success by building the digital backbone that will help Singapore seize new opportunities in the AI era."

The film blends archival footage with present-day scenes to bring Singapore’s development and progress to life, capturing how Singtel’s technology and services played a role in transforming Singapore’s airport and port, healthcare and manufacturing sectors. 

Shots of Singtel's National Day Parade marching contingents, past and present, highlight the company’s longstanding role in supporting this journey. True to the spirit of AI, selected historical images were enhanced through AI-assisted production tools to improve their visual quality and introduce subtle movement while respecting their authenticity and original context.

Accelerating industry transformation

Beyond Connection illustrates how Singtel’s investments in digital infrastructure are unleashing fresh innovation in Singapore’s world-class healthcare sector while breathing new life into old industries. 

Contributing to community

The film also highlights Singtel's longstanding commitment to empowering every generation. Through the Singtel Touching Lives Fund, Singtel has supported children and youth with special needs for more than three decades. It has also lent support for the visual and performing arts through the Singtel Waterfront Theatre at the Esplanade and the Singtel Special Exhibition Gallery at National Gallery Singapore. It continues championing Singapore’s national athletes through a 15-year partnership with the Singapore National Olympic Council.

Lian Pek, VP, Group Corporate Affairs & Investor Relations, Singtel said: “Dare I say this is not our typical National Day celebration. With the world on the cusp of an AI-driven revolution, it is even more critical that a company with our DNA helps Singapore make its way in the brave new world while leaving no one behind. We know Singaporeans’ determination and resilience will always prevail and we celebrate that in the film while also reaffirming our support for the nation through innovation, partnerships and community.”

Singapore launches new workplace safety and health resources

● Singapore enters next phase of efforts to support safer and longer working lives

● New initiatives aim to strengthen workplace safety and health (WSH) outcomes 

● AI-enabled SAGE platform will help WSH professionals access official guidance faster and strengthen risk management decisions

New national workplace safety and health initiatives have been unveiled at the Singapore Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Conference 2026.

Held at Marina Bay Sands, the 9th edition of the biennial conference focused on how Singapore’s WSH ecosystem can better anticipate emerging risks, strengthen shared ownership and translate safety insights into practical action across workplaces. Over 1,500 policymakers, business leaders, WSH professionals and industry practitioners attended activities under the theme Insight to Impact: Collective Effort for Stronger WSH Outcomes.

Singapore Minister of State for Manpower Dinesh Vasu Dash launched the Safety Advisory and Guidance Engine (SAGE), an AI-enabled knowledge and decision-support tool developed by the Workplace Safety and Health Council in partnership with the Singapore Institution of Safety Officers. 

Designed for WSH professionals, SAGE helps users retrieve relevant information, identify workplace hazards and apply best-practice control measures based on Singapore’s WSH framework. SAGE provides guided task categories that help users navigate common WSH activities. This lowers the barrier to using AI for WSH tasks, making the platform easier to use regardless of the user's familiarity with AI. 

By making authoritative guidance easier to access, the tool aims to support faster, more consistent decision-making in safety-critical environments while complementing the experience and professional judgement of WSH practitioners.  

 The move comes as Singapore enters the next phase of its WSH journey. According to the Workplace Safety and Health Report 2025 released by the Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in March 2026, two all-time lows were achieved in the country. 

The workplace fatal injury rate fell to a record low of 0.96 per 100,000 workers in 2025, while major injury rates across most workplace settings declined to 15.7 per 100,000 workers.* However, reported workplace injuries rose by 2.5%, underscoring the need for continued vigilance even as Singapore remains among the safest working environments globally. 

Mr Dinesh also unveiled the Alliance for Action on Safety and Health for Employment Longevity (AfA-SHEL), which supports safer, healthier and longer working lives. The initiative will look at how workers can be better supported to remain in, or return safely to, employment after injury or illness. 

He said: “Singapore’s workplace safety and health progress is not a static achievement, but a continuous national effort. As we advance the WSH 2028 agenda, our focus must be on sustaining the progress we have made, strengthening support for workers, employers and WSH practitioners, and ensuring that our
WSH system remains responsive to the needs of a changing economy. By working together, we
can continue to raise WSH standards and build safer, healthier and more resilient workplaces.”

The AfA-SHEL was introduced by the minister during the MOM's Committee of Supply Debate in March 2026. Jointly led by MOM, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF), the AfA brings together employers, workers, relevant government agencies, healthcare institutions, solution providers and other stakeholders to co-create practical, industry-led solutions to strengthen WSH and support employment longevity.

The AfA will focus on developing practical solutions in three areas: 

• Injury prevention for the general workforce, beyond high-risk workplaces

• Supporting returning to work after a serious injury or health episode

• Workplace adaption and job redesign to make work tasks, processes and environments safer and more suitable for Singapore's workforce, which comprises people with varied physical and health needs

The WSH Council further introduced a new WhatsApp channel to provide employers, workers and WSH practitioners with mobile-first access to events, alerts, advisories and resources. This complements the Council’s existing WSH Bulletin, social media channels and website.

Abu Bakar Bin Mohd Nor, Chairman of the WSH Council, said the next phase of WSH progress will require stronger shared ownership across the ecosystem. “As workplace risks become more complex, the next phase of WSH progress cannot rest on any one party alone. Workforce ageing, more unpredictable weather patterns, and new technologies are changing the risks that employers, workers, and WSH professionals have to manage," he said. 

"That means we must keep adapting our systems, tools and mindsets, while ensuring every part of the ecosystem plays its role in anticipating risks earlier, designing for safety from the outset, and embedding WSH practices on the ground. This shared ownership will be critical as we continue strengthening Singapore’s WSH culture.” 

The Top Executive WSH Programme (TEWP) has also been enhanced. From 1 September 2026, the TEWP will place greater emphasis on executive accountability, governance and due diligence. The enhanced programme was redesigned by the Institute of Adult Learning and Singapore University of Social Sciences in consultation with MOM, the WSH Council, training providers and the Singapore Institute of Directors. 

New enhancements include:

● Special emphasis on governance and executive leadership
● Targeted learning designed for C-suite leaders and board directors
● More examples of scenario-based and application-focused learning
● Greater focus on the CORE Framework and the 17 Approved Code of Practice measures
● Enhanced emphasis on evidence of leadership commitment and due diligence

The conference concluded with a call for organisations to strengthen shared responsibility, practical innovation and adopt a people-centred approach to workplace safety and health.
