Leak: Here is DJI's first 360-degree camera

The Verge

DJI hasn't even announced a 360-degree camera yet, but the DJI Osmo 360 has now spilled its guts all over the web. Leakers Hakasushi and Igor Bogdanov have published over a dozen pictures of a prototype dual-lens camera, including both external and internal photos and images of its Quick Start Guide.
Together, they suggest that DJI may finally be about to compete with Insta360 and the upcoming GoPro Max 2 in letting you capture attention-grabbing spherical photos and video — check out my colleague Vjeran Pavic's recent video to see what these cameras can do.
And it appears that DJI may have chosen quite a small, squareish design, instead of the more elongated stick shapes of its Insta360 rival. As you can see above, it's roughly 6.5 centimeters (2.6in) wide and maybe 9mm tall.
While we don't have much in the way of all-important specs like video resolution and framerate, we can see it has three buttons including power, recording, and menu controls, plus a tap-and-swipe touchscreen, and it uses interchangeable 7.55Wh batteries that look like those for DJI's Osmo Action series.
According to the quick start guide, the 'OQ001' model has microSD storage, a USB-C charge port, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, and it can physically mount 'various accessories' — intriguingly, the unit's tripod mount seems to have four copper contacts surrounding it, perhaps to let an accessory provide power or data.

Internally, the teardown shows that DJI mounts its camera sensors the same way as Insta360. Instead of having a sensor directly facing each lens, the light first bounces off a 45-degree mirror.
Hakasushi has published quite a few other teardown photos too, but says the internals might change, as this one appears to be a prototype.
Unusually, DJI leaker Jasper Ellens speculates that DJI may not bring this camera to market, particularly not in the United States, as word (and leaks) would usually have reached him by now if it were. 'I can't find any early leaks on web stores, multiple sources never received it and therefore it's even a better hidden secret than the DJI M a vic 4 or DJI Mini 5,' he writes.
