Fitbit Charge 4 Specifications & Leak

Google recently agreed to buy Fitbit and I, and others speculated as to whether we would see the Fitbit brand continue. Would Fitbit be rebranded Google? or Fitbit by Google? or maybe Google didn’t want to buy Fitbit for the devices at all and was more interested in the patents and other IP, in which case there might be no more wearables.

Speculation aside today’s leak is of the Fitbit Charge 4 which comes with NFC. It’s ‘only’ a fitness band, so don’t get excited. Hey! it’s a slow news day.

Caution: MANY new products have been delayed because of Covid19. This may be one of those delayed. Retailers and FCC filers may have scheduled their content and filings a long time ago and simply forgot to change the date. My guess is that this was planned for now (ish) BUT THAT the real announcement won’t happen for some time.

Fitbit Charge 4 Specifications

Warning: These could be wrong. They come from mobilefun and might just be copied from the previous Fitbit version. Other sources (wareable) show images of this product listed with GPS capability. My guess would be that this is what differentiates the SE edition from the rest and justifies the extra GBP20 for the SE..

Opinion

This is one for the upgraders who like the band format.

I personally DO LIKE the band format but the market is moving away from that.
