DJI has officially locked in the Osmo Pocket 4 launch for April 16, 2026, at 12:00 PM GMT, and the hype is building fast. With just days to go, DJI’s latest teaser is doing two things at once: confirming a major storage upgrade while also sparking fresh debate over something creators care about just as much—whether the microSD card slot is still part of the plan.
The newest teaser comes with the tagline “More storage. More stories,” and it strongly backs up recent chatter that the Osmo Pocket 4 is getting 107GB of built-in internal storage. For vloggers, travelers, and run-and-gun filmmakers, that kind of onboard space can be a genuine quality-of-life improvement. Internal storage is typically faster, more convenient, and one less thing to forget at home.
But there’s a catch: DJI’s video also shows SD cards being “chewed away” to make room for internal memory. That single visual has set off alarms for fans who don’t want a “storage upgrade” to turn into a “storage downgrade” if expandable storage disappears. Many creators rely on microSD cards for long shoots, quick swaps in the field, and easy file handoffs to laptops, tablets, or editors—especially when time matters.
So, is DJI really removing the microSD card slot on the Osmo Pocket 4? Based on what’s been seen so far, it may be too soon to panic.
A recently leaked render appears to show a new covered port area on the left side of the Osmo Pocket 4. Unless DJI is planning to add an extra USB-C port for accessories or transfer, that covered section likely points to the microSD card slot returning—just redesigned. Instead of being exposed, it may sit behind a protective door, which would be a smart move for better dust resistance and water protection. In other words, the Osmo Pocket 4 may not be losing expandable storage at all—it could be gaining tougher, more creator-friendly durability while keeping a feature people consider essential.
On top of the storage talk, there’s also mention of a new magnetic fill light accessory, suggesting DJI is still focused on practical upgrades for vloggers and mobile content creators who shoot in unpredictable lighting.
With the official unveiling happening April 16, the final answer on internal storage, microSD support, and the full feature list should arrive soon. Until then, the signs suggest DJI may be aiming for the best of both worlds: faster built-in storage plus the flexibility of a microSD card slot—just with better protection than before.
