Fitbit Versa 4 release - What do we know so far?

In 2022, several exciting new smartwatches are set to launch, including the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Apple Watch 8. Fitbit typically releases a new model in a specific product line every two years. The Fitbit Versa 3 hit the market in August 2020, and now, two years later, the introduction of the Fitbit Versa 4 is the next step.

Fitbit Versa 4: Software

Many wonder whether the Fitbit Versa 4 will run on Fitbit’s own software or Google’s Wear OS. Various reports show Fitbit integration in the latest Google software, making it likely that the Fitbit Versa 4 will use Google Wear OS 3, though confirmation is pending.

Payments & Google Pay

If the Fitbit Versa 4 runs on Google Wear OS, it will support Google Pay.

Many UK users can’t use Fitbit Pay due to limited bank support. Fitbit Pay supports the following banks:

• Santander
• Starling Bank
• Revolut
• Curve
• Wise
• NatWest
• Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS)

With Google Pay, Fitbit would gain wider bank support, enabling payments with your new Fitbit Versa 4.

Music Storage

The Fitbit Versa 3 offers 2.5 GB of storage for music. The Fitbit Versa 4 is expected to retain this or possibly increase it. With the current 2.5 GB, you can store about 200-300 songs, perfect for running with Bluetooth earbuds without your phone.

Skin Temperature Measurement: Fitbit Versa 4 Rumour

Previous Fitbit users have requested a temperature measurement for new trackers. A skin temperature feature could monitor if your body overheats, with alerts if it exceeds a threshold.

No patents from Fitbit suggest this will appear on the Fitbit Versa 4 yet.

Screen Quality Remains the Same

In March, new product names were found in Fitbit’s installation files, indicating that the screens of the Versa 4 and Sense 2 will be square with 336 x 336 pixels.

With the pixel count unchanged, expect the same screen quality with an AMOLED display.

A Real Button on the Versa 4?

The Fitbit Versa 3 uses a touch button on the side, enhancing water resistance but causing irritation for some users.

The button can be hard to use while moving and sometimes overly sensitive. It’s multifunctional and durable, reducing breakage risk.

Many users prefer a physical button on the Fitbit Versa 4 for easier control during running.

Fitbit Versa 4 Release Date

The Fitbit Versa 4 is set for an August 2022 release, following the trend of Samsung and Apple. The exact Fitbit Versa 4 release date is still unconfirmed and will become clearer in the coming weeks.

Conclusion: Fitbit Versa 4

Little has leaked about the new Fitbit Versa 4, leaving much uncertain. We know it’s due soon, alongside the Fitbit Sense 2 announcement. We’ll need to wait for the full release for exact specifications.
