DJI's upcoming Air series drone is nearly confirmed, even though the company hasn’t officially mentioned plans to replace the Air 2S or Air 3. The drone has been identified in the public database of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). While getting FCC certification doesn't guarantee a product launch, it has frequently indicated future releases for DJI in recent times.
New Drone Details
Recently, DJI launched a lightweight 135 g drone named the Neo, currently priced at $199 on Amazon. There are indications that DJI might also be working on an update related to first-person view (FPV) for this new compact drone, with further details available in a separate article. In contrast, the FCC certification has focused on the Air 3S, and notably, it mentions the drone by name even before its official announcement.
Battery and Features
The FCC has also disclosed that the Air 3S will come equipped with a new battery that has a capacity of 4,276 mAh (62.5 Wh). This means that the Air 3S will have a larger battery compared to the Air 3. However, a 25 mAh increase in capacity is not likely to significantly enhance battery life between these two models. According to recent speculation, DJI may introduce some camera upgrades with the Air 3S, including a new 1-inch type camera sensor. The company is anticipated to unveil the Air 3S sometime in late September or early October.
