DJI Rumor Mill: Mini 5 Pro, Avata 3, and Neo 2 Leaks Surface – What’s Coming Next?
DJI, a dominant force in the drone market, isn't resting on its laurels. Fresh leaks hint at a trio of new models on the horizon: the DJI Mini 5 Pro, the DJI Avata 3, and the DJI Neo 2. This news follows the recent release of the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, suggesting a rapid pace of innovation from the company.
The most imminent release appears to be the DJI Mini 5 Pro, the successor to the popular DJI Mini 4 Pro launched in September 2023. The new drone has already been registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US, a key step before any electronic device can be sold there. This registration, spotted by @MauroTandoi and Notebookcheck, suggests an imminent launch.
Early indications from the FCC filing suggest the Mini 5 Pro will boast a larger battery and faster charging speeds compared to its predecessor. While the filing doesn't reveal all the upgrades, it points towards a significant improvement in power and convenience. Some speculated a September release; however, the FCC registration suggests a launch sooner than expected.
Adding to the excitement, tipster @Quadro_News shared a video (via Notebookcheck) seemingly showcasing the DJI Avata 3 in testing. This would be a replacement for the DJI Avata 2, which debuted in April 2024. Leaks suggest the Avata 3 will feature a larger camera sensor, promising improved image quality. The video also hints at a redesigned propeller, potentially enhancing the drone's performance and efficiency.
Lastly, tipster @OsitaLV mentions the DJI Neo 2, set to replace the original DJI Neo launched in September 2024 alongside the Avata 3 and Mini 5 Pro. This flurry of potential releases indicates a busy period for DJI and drone enthusiasts alike.
While specific launch dates for the DJI Avata 3 and DJI Neo 2 remain unknown, the fact that their predecessors are relatively recent models suggests a later release window compared to the Mini 5 Pro. Could we see these drones unveiled later in the year?
DJI's continuous innovation in the drone market is undeniable. From the rumored battery upgrades and faster charging of the Mini 5 Pro, the potential larger camera sensor of the Avata 3, and the existence of the Neo 2, the future looks bright for drone technology.
