It is common knowledge that DJI is gearing up to launch the Air 3S after recently unveiling the Neo, which is currently priced at $199.99 on Amazon. New information, however, implies that DJI is also in the process of developing a next-generation series of Mavic drones.
Mavic 4 Developments
To summarize, the Mavic 4 has made appearances in various images over the past few months. Although DJI hasn't officially acknowledged anything yet, it seems that the company has filed documents for the same drone with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Sadly, the documents from the regulatory body do not specifically mention the Mavic 4 by name.
Model Identification
Instead, DJI has tried to hide the identity of the device they are working on by using model numbers rather than retail names. Nevertheless, the FCC has verified that 'JV31' and 'JV32' refer to the same device, which also looks like a drone in one sketch. It is likely that these represent 'Cine' and 'Pro' versions of the Mavic 4, as suggested by leaker Jasper Ellens.
Battery Specifications
Additionally, the FCC has indicated that the Mavic 4 could come equipped with a much larger battery compared to both the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Pro. According to the first image below, both 'JV31' and 'JV32' have 99.5 Wh batteries (14.76V/6,471 mAh). Therefore, we can expect the Mavic 4 to provide better flight durations than the Mavic 3 or Mavic 3 Pro, which reach maximum times of 46 minutes and 43 minutes, respectively, using a 77 Wh (15.4V/5,000 mAh) battery.
