DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Release Delayed

The DJI Pocket Four camera has already created a lot of buzz. We expect the upcoming DJI Osmo Small Pocket camera to have a significant upgrade over the Pocket 3. With the help of a dual camera setup, we will have very clear zoom shots (2X & 4X) for the first time. Alongside AI auto framing, we will also see seamless transfer from one camera module to another/easy switch between camera modules without losing the quality.

Earlier this year, leaks pointed to a DJI Pocket 4 announcement date as early as December 18, 2025. Yes, all of us here at TheNewCamera.com were very excited about the arrival of the Pocket 4 camera before Christmas. However, right now, according to the latest leak coming from YouTuber photorabz, the DJI Pocket 4 camera announcement has been slightly delayed, and the camera is now expected to arrive sometime in January 2026, not in December 2025.

Exact Quote: What the photorabz Said About the DJI Pocket 4 Announcement and Release

Just in the same plain, candid way, we are going to describe to you what the photorabz has said, and this is an exact quote from his video, transcribed for transparency without any edits

“But the Osmo Pocket 4 won’t be released in December. This is for sure. It might be announced by the end of the month, but for the moment, this has been postponed. This idea of releasing this camera has been postponed. Why? Because the accessories for this camera aren’t ready yet……. We don’t have any clear information about that. But according to the latest um talks and rumors and [music] you know these things this camera the Osmo Pocket 4 will be released in January in the second half of January not well it could be between the 10 and uh till the end of the month……….. but it’s not going to be now before Christmas as we got as an information before.”

We have a delay in the DJI Pocket 4 arrival timeline. Specifically, the end of the year is a very volatile period for DJI due to the Dec 23 Ban issue. We don’t know which product announcements are going to be postponed. Although we have published a list of products that who cleared the FCCID certification recently.

Breaking Down the Leak: What Does This Mean for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Timeline?

Let’s unpack this step by step, so you can plan your upgrades wisely:

1. No December Release – Confirmed Postponement

The vlogger is crystal clear: A full DJI Pocket 4 release in December 2025 is off the table. And the announcement is delayed till jan 2025. It’s really a bit disappointing for all of us who were waiting to pre-order Pocket 4 before Christmas.
Why the delay? The exact reason, as mentioned by photorabz, is that the Accessories are the culprit. As we all know, the Pocket 3 depends on a lot of external accessories, which include wireless mics, extra batteries, and modular mounts – DJI’s ecosystem thrives on these add-ons, and rushing them could lead to quality issues.

2. Announcement Date: Possible End-of-Month Tease

Silver lining: An official DJI Osmo Pocket 4 announcement Teaser could still drop by the end of December 2025. This aligns with DJI’s pattern of holiday-season reveals (remember the Pocket 3’s November 2023 debut?).
Expect confirmed specs, More Leaked Images and videos before leaks, but hands-on access? Save that for January.

If you’re a vlogger, traveller, or social media professional, the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 remains a must-watch device for 2026. We have already seen a lot of leaks, official teaser videos, as well as NDA-related documents and FCC ID filings of the Osmo Pocket 4. For now, we have seen almost everything possible before a product announcement. We are now only waiting for the Osmo Pocket 4 to become official as soon as possible.

Stay tuned as we get any updates related to DJI products. We will be posting updates at TheNewCamera.com. But before that, let’s break down what this delay actually means, specifically for the DJI Pocket 4.
