Editorial Reviews Comparison

Optics & Room Coverage

  • Poly Studio E608.5/10Leader
  • Poly Studio X327.9/10

Poly Studio E60

Both lenses use 8 MP sensors, and the camera outputs 4K at 30 fps over USB or as an IP stream. The image is processed on board, so the room PC only receives the framed view. Faces look sharp at the back of a long boardroom, and skin tones stay natural under typical office LED panels.

Poly Studio X32

Poly fits a 20 MP 4K single lens with a 132° view and 5x digital zoom. DirectorAI handles speaker, people and group framing. However, as I swapped speakers around a compact table, DirectorAI settled on a new framing in a moment. The fixed-focus lens means no hunting in mixed light.

AI Speaker Tracking & Framing

  • Poly Studio E609.4/10Leader
  • Poly Studio X328.4/10

Poly Studio E60

The PTZ lens has 12x optical zoom and Poly rates speaker pickup to about 10 m. It covers a 71 degree horizontal field at its widest, while the panoramic lens sees 107 degrees. In practice, optical zoom keeps a presenter at the far end of a training room sharp, rather than the soft crop a fixed-lens bar produces.

Poly Studio X32

The Studio X32's official AI features include Poly DirectorAI speaker, people and group framing; NoiseBlockAI; Acoustic Fence. Zoom is listed as 5x digital. In rooms I've set up, I care whether tracking stays with the speaker without hunting around the table.

Room Audio Pickup & Output

  • Poly Studio E60—
  • Poly Studio X327.9/10

Poly Studio X32

Acoustic Fence ignores voices outside the meeting area, which helps in glass rooms next to busy corridors. I'd expect clean pickup across a typical medium table. NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence help when a door opens mid-call. Four MEMS mics at about 4.57 m match the small-room brief; seat stragglers closer to the bar.

OS Platform & Ecosystem

  • Poly Studio E6010.0/10Leader
  • Poly Studio X329.4/10

Poly Studio E60

The camera is certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet. Poly Lens handles firmware updates, settings and fleet monitoring. For IT teams, Lens lets you push framing modes and updates across many rooms from one console. That consistency matters more than any single feature once you manage dozens of spaces.

Poly Studio X32

It runs Teams and Zoom in appliance mode, Poly Video mode for SIP and H.323, and USB device mode for BYOD. Wireless sharing covers AirPlay and Miracast. For a Teams-first room, read our Teams vs. Teams Rooms guide before choosing the mode. Teams and Zoom appliance modes cover most new rooms; Poly Video mode keeps SIP/H.323 legacy endpoints in play during migrations.

Deployment & I/O

  • Poly Studio E607.8/10
  • Poly Studio X328.5/10Leader

Poly Studio E60

The E60 connects by USB-B to a room PC, or over RJ45 with PoE+ power and data on one cable. A 12 V DC input is available, and Poly includes a 5 m Ethernet cable and a wall mount. PoE+ means a single cable run from the switch, which installers appreciate on ceiling or wall mounts.

Poly Studio X32

Poly Lens handles management, and the box includes HDMI, Ethernet, a display clamp and a privacy cover. With a PoE++ switch already in the rack, I'd expect setup in a moment.
