The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 is the better option for most new buyers because it offers 4K at 240fps slow motion, 107GB built in storage, longer battery life, a brighter screen, improved low light flexibility, and ActiveTrack 7.0. The Osmo Pocket 3 remains a better value choice for casual vloggers and existing users who do not need these advanced upgrades.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 built a reputation as one of the best pocket sized vlogging cameras around, popular enough that it was hard to find in stock for stretches after launch. The Osmo Pocket 4 keeps the same 3 axis gimbal and 2 inch rotating touchscreen formula but pushes the sensor, storage, and processing hard enough that it is a genuinely bigger jump than a typical year over year refresh.
What Stays the Same
Both cameras use the same compact form factor, a 3 axis mechanical gimbal built into a pocket sized body with a 2 inch rotating touchscreen, and both give you 3 built in microphones for on device audio pickup. The core handling, flip out, shoot, and put it back in your pocket, has not changed.
The Sensor and Slow Motion Jump
The Osmo Pocket 4 is built around a new 1 inch CMOS sensor with up to 14 stops of dynamic range and doubles the maximum slow motion capability to 4K at 240fps in Slow Motion mode versus the Pocket 3's 4K at 120fps Slow Motion ceiling.
Low light performance improves too. The ISO ceiling in Low Light Video mode reaches 25,600 on the Pocket 4 compared to 16,000 on the Pocket 3.
Still photography sees the biggest single jump. The Pocket 4 shoots up to 37MP, with a resolution of 7680 × 4320, compared to 9.4MP on the Pocket 3, giving far more room to crop or reframe a still pulled from the camera.
Storage, Screen, and Battery
The Osmo Pocket 4 adds 107GB of built in high speed storage. The Pocket 3 has none, so it is fully dependent on a microSD card.
According to DJI, the internal storage can hold approximately 600 minutes of 1080p at 24fps footage or 220 minutes of 4K at 60fps footage at the standard bitrate. Actual recording time depends on the selected resolution, frame rate, and recording settings.
The Pocket 4's screen is also brighter, reaching 1000 nits compared to 700 nits on the Pocket 3. This matters more than it sounds for framing shots in direct sunlight.
Battery capacity grows from 1,300mAh to 1,545mAh. DJI quotes an increase from 166 minutes of runtime at 1080p and 24fps on the Pocket 3 to 240 minutes on the Pocket 4. That gives you 74 extra minutes on a single charge.
Audio and Tracking
The Osmo Pocket 4 supports OsmoAudio four channel output, letting it connect directly to compatible DJI Mic transmitters and record multiple audio sources as separate tracks for more flexible editing later. The Pocket 3 supports dual channel audio.
The Pocket 4 also adds spatial audio recording for a more immersive playback experience with headphones, plus audio zoom that focuses the sound pickup as you zoom the image in.
For tracking, the Pocket 4 runs ActiveTrack 7.0 with smarter autofocus and gesture control, an upgrade over the Pocket 3's tracking system.

Which One Should You Buy?
If you already own an Osmo Pocket 3 and mostly shoot casual vlogs or social content, the core stabilization and image quality you already have is still strong.
The jump to Pocket 4 makes the most sense if you specifically need the extra slow motion, improved low light flexibility, or the convenience of 107GB built in storage when you forget an SD card.
If you are buying your first pocket gimbal camera and can stretch the budget, the Pocket 4 is the more future proof pick, especially for anyone shooting stills alongside video.

FAQs
Q1. Does the Osmo Pocket 4 still support HLG like the Pocket 3?
No, the Pocket 4 specifications do not list HLG support. It uses DJI's 10-bit D-Log colour profile, while the Pocket 3 supports 10-bit D-Log M and HLG.
Q2. Do I need a microSD card for the Osmo Pocket 4?
Not necessarily the 107GB of built-in storage can hold approximately 600 minutes of 1080p/24fps footage or approximately 220 minutes of 4K/60fps footage at the standard bitrate. Actual recording time depends on the selected resolution, frame rate, and recording settings, while a microSD card can still extend total capacity.
Q3. Is the Osmo Pocket 4 significantly bigger than the Pocket 3?
It's slightly larger and heavier, but the difference is minor enough that it doesn't change how it's carried or used day to day.
