Maybe one of the vital sudden hit cameras of the previous few years ahs been the DJI Osmo Pocket collection, particularly the Osmo Pocket 3. This is now being generously discounted in some locations – however that’s simply one of many indicators a successor is probably going within the put up.
There have been numerous rumors, however (as with most issues DJI) there are some sources who are typically a bit extra dependable and now some particulars that appear to make some sense, so I will share them…
The X.com poster Igor Bogdanov is the supply I am referencing – he’s removed from the one one to have posted concerning the Osmo Pocket 4, however his posting about something is extra convincing than many different posters.
👉So, you have bought it in your fingers🫣. That is good. Osmo Pocket 4… You are hiding some attention-grabbing options.)#osmopocket4 pic.twitter.com/YDWKUVx4FxNovember 15, 2025
It’s attention-grabbing, although, that one other X feed, @djirumor has explicitly cited the date December 18, which, whereas it is not as sure, can be a really opportune time for DJI to get a product into the USA. Not as a result of it is simply earlier than the vacations. As most retailers will inform you, that is really too late for most individuals to purchase earlier than Christmas Day. It’s, nevertheless, simply earlier than DJI is not going to be allowed to launch any new merchandise within the USA.
That’s assuming issues stay unchanged and the required investigation stays uninitiated by any of the 5 US businesses allowed to conduct it – they’ve had the higher a part of a 12 months.
Now the issue is that the rumours nonetheless do not fairly appear to line up. The Osmo Pocket 3 has a 1-inch sensor, making for surprisingly good low-light imaging from a compact system, but a number of the rumors level to the anticipated Pocket 4 getting a 1/1.1-inch sensor.
Do NOT take heed to AI if you wish to get this buy proper!
Hilariously to me ChatGPT ‘thinks’ it is a bigger picture sensor, but it surely is not for 2 causes. A bigger quantity on the backside of a fraction makes it smaller. 1/2in is greater than 1/3. 1 inr. So even when the measurement was throughout the identical diagonal we might be speaking a smaller picture sensor.
And the brand new digital camera within the rumor seems larger?
OK, it is simply me, however I would not have thought DJI would wish to log off by producing a product with a smaller picture sensor. Even when it is sensible to make use of the 1/1.1-inch sq. picture sensor simply used within the Osmo 360 and the Osmo Motion 6.
The one state of affairs I can think about this being completely different is that if the system has two lenses at completely different focal lengths – a tele in addition to a large, like most premium telephones. Then even the bodily barely larger housing seen within the Igor Bogdanov rumor picture and coated in stickers may not be sufficient for 2 cameras except the sensor was a bit smaller.
After which it is perhaps attainable to elucidate it to customers? DJI has definitely managed to suit a number of cameras on some premium drones – simply take a look at the Air 3S.
