DJI Osmo Pocket 4 FCC Leak Reveals the Hard Numbers

From the very first line, let’s be painfully clear. Nothing in this article is official. DJI has said absolutely nothing. What follows comes from FCC filings, leaked documents, regulatory paperwork, and the kind of number soup that only exists when a product is very real but very unannounced. No marketing slides. No teaser videos. Just cold, certified data.

And honestly, that is where the fun starts.

What the FCC Filing Tells Us for Sure

The device shows up in the FCC database as Osmo Pocket 4, model OP 041, manufactured by SZ DJI Osmo Technology Co., Ltd. The FCC ID is 2ANDR OP041, and the paperwork has been publicly available since around October 2025.

In the documents, DJI describes it as a “portable still camera and video camera,” which is regulatory language for “yes, this is a camera, please let us sell it.”

The tested hardware is listed as V0.1, running software version V01.00.00.01, which strongly suggests a near production unit rather than an early prototype. FCC labs do not test vague ideas. They test finished hardware that is about to escape into the wild.

The battery is one of the biggest confirmed upgrades. Inside is an integrated Li Po pack, model BHX214 1545 7.74, rated at 1545 mAh with a nominal voltage of 7.74 V. That translates into a meaningful bump in real world runtime compared to the Pocket 3, which many users treated like a nervous espresso drinker constantly looking for a charger.

Charging is handled over USB C, directly feeding that 7.74 V system. The FCC tests even specify the cable length used, a 50 cm unshielded cable, which is the kind of detail nobody writes unless lawyers are involved.

Wireless Specs, SAR, and All the Nerdy Stuff

If you enjoy radio frequency spreadsheets, the Osmo Pocket 4 is quietly impressive.

On the Wi Fi side, it supports 802.11ax, better known as Wi Fi 6, with 2×2 MIMO. It operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, covering 2412 to 2462 MHz and 5150 to 5250 plus 5725 to 5850 MHz. Modes include b, g, n, and ax, with both HT and HE channel widths.

Internally, DJI uses two non replaceable monopole antennas. Their peak gain numbers are not flashy, ranging from negative values up to about 2.9 dBi, but that is normal for a tiny handheld device packed with motors, sensors, and a gimbal that never stops moving.

Bluetooth runs on the standard 2402 to 2480 MHz range, using GFSK, π slash 4 DQPSK, and 8DPSK. Translation: it pairs with your phone and does not explode.

SAR testing, which measures how much RF energy your body absorbs, is well within FCC limits. Even in worst case scenarios like Wi Fi and Bluetooth running simultaneously at zero distance, the numbers remain compliant. The highest pre averaged peak recorded was 6.17 W per kg in a very specific lab setup, which sounds dramatic until you remember that final averaged values are what actually matter, and those are safely below limits.

All FCC Part 15 EMC tests passed. Conducted power, bandwidth, spurious emissions, the whole checklist got green checkmarks. The sensitive documents like schematics and BOM are sealed, which is exactly what DJI always does.

What is not in the FCC files is equally important. No sensor details. No video resolutions. No gimbal specs. No price. No launch date. The FCC does radios, not dreams.

Rumored Features and Release Timing

Outside the FCC, the leak ecosystem paints a fairly consistent picture, though this is where confidence drops from “hard data” to “well sourced whispers.”

Multiple reports point to a dual sensor setup, with a primary one inch CMOS sensor around 50 MP and a secondary square sensor aimed at vertical video. Video specs rumored include 6K at 60 fps, 4K at 240 fps, and 10 bit D Log M, which would put the Pocket 4 dangerously close to stepping on some of DJI’s own product toes. Imagine a portable camera with the eyes of an Air 3S.

Battery life is rumored to exceed 200 minutes, which aligns nicely with the larger battery confirmed by the FCC. Audio may get a four mic array. Connectivity could include Wi Fi 6E and newer Bluetooth versions, with Wi Fi 6 fallback already confirmed.

As for timing, leaks suggest DJI wants this out before December 23, 2025, possibly to get ahead of potential U.S. import restrictions. A mid December launch, maybe around December 18, keeps popping up. If regulatory or supply chain issues intervene, early 2026 becomes the backup plan.

Pricing rumors cluster between $599 and $699, depending on bundles. Nothing confirmed. Your wallet remains safe for now.

DroneXL’s Take

The Osmo Pocket 4 FCC filing is not exciting in a flashy way, but it is exciting in the way blueprints are exciting. It confirms this product exists, that it is mature, and that DJI is clearly preparing for launch rather than tinkering in a lab.

The bigger battery and Wi Fi 6 alone address two long standing complaints from Pocket users, and the rumored camera upgrades suggest DJI is aiming higher than casual vlogging.

Until DJI speaks, everything beyond the FCC numbers stays unofficial. Still, history says when DJI hardware hits the FCC in this state, the countdown has already started.

We will update this article the moment new verified information surfaces. If you have real data, not vibes, drop it. The spreadsheet gods demand accuracy.
