When it will arrive, the Fitbit Versa 4 will be the company’s next high-end fitness tracker. Despite the fact that it is still yet to be made clear. You can make some educated guesses about the features it will bring to our wrists when it does.
The Fitbit Charge 5’s release hinted at where the business might be heading with its watches in the future. But now that Fitbit is owned by Google, the Charge 4 could be something entirely different.
Here’s a rundown of the latest rumors and information so you know what to anticipate when the Fitbit Versa 4 arrives.
What we will see here?
Release date
At the time of writing, there is no official release date, although past models can be used as a guide. When did they make their debuts? Versa 3 was released in September 2020, Versa 2 was released in September 2019 and Fitbit Versa 1 was released in April 2018.
For the previous two editions, Fitbit had set a pattern. As you can see, as September has gone, it appears that this has altered once more. There are several causes that could be contributing to the delay. Including a global processor scarcity and supply chain delays havoc. There’s also the fact that Google bought Fitbit in January 2020. And is rumored to be preparing some modifications to the brand.
The Fitbit Sense 2 was previously reported to be the first Fitbit device to operate on Google’s Wear OS. With the third edition of the software is slated to launch on a wide range of devices in the second half of 2022. It’s possible that the Versa 4 will follow suit and adopt Wear OS as well. If that’s the case, a September 2022 launch of the Fitbit Sense 2 and Fitbit Versa 4 could be in the works.
The references to these devices were seen in the code for a software “bridge” that connects to a phone and transfers data over Bluetooth. Wear OS, on the other hand, shares data in a different way, so the Versa 4 is unlikely to run on Google software.
What is the price of the Fitbit Versa 4?
There are no guaranteed costs, just like there are no confirmed release dates. The predecessors will give us a good idea of what you could have to pay. The following are the door scores:
- Fitbit Versa 1 costs £199, €199, or US$199.
- Fitbit Versa 2 costs £199, €199, or US$199.
- Fitbit Versa 3 costs £199, €229, or $229 in the United States.
The Versa fits between the more costly Fitbit Sense smartwatch (£279/€299/US$299). And the less expensive Fitbit Charge 5 activity tracker (£169.99/€179.95/US$179.95). Thus it has a steady construction. With this in mind, it is expected that the Fitbit Versa 4 to follow the same pricing pattern as the Fitbit Versa 3 and cost roughly £199/€229/US$229 when it launches.
What new features will the Fitbit Versa 4 offer?
The watch features an aluminum shell that extends all the way to the screen, with no ECG frame. A protruding button is just on the right-hand edge. However, don’t know whether this is a tactile button or a touch-area button. The corners are also significantly more curled than on the Versa 3, giving it a more streamlined appearance.
Fitbit has yet to publicly confirm any of these design modifications.
The Versa 3 raised the possible AMOLED display size from 1.39in (300×300) on the Versa 2 and 1 to 1.58in (336×336) on the Versa 3. There are still some bezels around the main display. So Fitbit may be able to expand the available space without increasing the frame’s size.
The Versa, like the Fitbit Sense, currently lacks an LTE option.
One of Fitbit Sense’s functions may move directly to the Versa in the next iteration, according to rumors. That’s the Electrodermal Activity sensor (or EDA sensor), which measures the temperature of your skin to determine how much stress you’re under. When combined with the Fitbit app’s mindfulness and breathing practices, it can be a useful tool for preventing the stresses of modern life from affecting you.
What we expect in upcoming projects:
Fitbit gadgets are released every two years on average. The Fitbit Versa 3 was introduced in August 2020, thus expecting the arrival of the Versa 4 in August 2022. Recently, hints of a gadget that could be the Versa 4 have appeared in Fitbit’s Android app, implying that the Versa 4 is on the way.
Users rarely get a sneak peek at timepieces before they go on sale. The manufacturer holds its cards close to its chest, but it’s still feasible. It’s possible that get an early look at the Fitbit Luxe after images of it leaked a few days before its formal introduction.
It’s also feasible that an unintentional leak will provide us with an early look at the Versa 4’s specifications. A 3D render of a new Fitbit device called ‘Morgan’ appeared on the internet in 2021. The Fitbit Charge 5 was the subject of our initial glance.
Design
Fitbit’s most recent watches (such as the Charge 5, Sense, Versa 3, Inspire 2, and Luxe) all have rounded edges and smooth lines. Fitbit’s Biologic Industrial Design Language, which is designed to interact with the structure of the human body to create gadgets that are pleasant and natural, is responsible for this.
The palette is subtle (black, cream, soft pink, and midnight blue are popular). The metal cases have a brushed texture. Because the company looks to be loyal to this strategy, Versa 4 is required to establish suit.
The Versa series’ watches have always had square faces with rounded edges. So you don’t predict a change to a round or rectangular face.
People expect it will remain with AMOLED display technology. Though prefer to see a higher resolution, especially if the Versa 4 is Fitbit’s first Wear OS smartwatch. The Versa 3’s resolution is 336 x 336 pixels, but a bump to 454 x 454 pixels would be a huge improvement for apps like Gmail and Google Maps.
What’s the difference between the Fitbit Versa 3 and the Fitbit Versa 4?
The main distinction between the Versa 3 and the Charge 4 is that the former is a smartwatch and the latter is an activity band. That much is self-evident. As a result, the design is completely unique. For the past few years, Fitbit has stuck to a tried-and-true design.
Is the Fitbit versa 4 compatible with the iPhone?
Compatibility. Using Bluetooth LE wireless technology, the Fitbit Charge 4 syncs automatically and wirelessly to computers and over 200 popular iOS, Android, and Windows devices. Your mobile device must be an iPhone 5S or later, iPad 5th generation or later, or Android 7.0 or later to sync.
Conclusion
The majority of the devices can tell you how far you ran, how high your heart rate rises during a workout, and how active you were throughout the day. A Fitbit can be a waste of money if you don’t care about any of those details and are content with simply doing some activity.
In January 2021, Google announced that it had finalized its acquisition of Fitbit, the leading wearable fitness company. It had been over a year since Google initially revealed its intention to buy the brand.
The Fitbit Versa 3 was introduced in August 2020, thus anticipating that the arrival of the Versa 4 is in August 2022.
