My charge 2 needs to be upgraded. Looking at a charge 3 or versa 2.

One thing I HATE is the inaccuracy of it...went for a known 4km walk today and it counted maybe 2.3 and it certainly shorted me on my steps. 

Did they upgrade the newer models to be more accurate for steps with or without connected GPS?

I've not seen anything in the fitbit documentation that suggest that the newer models use different sensors so I would expect accuracy to be much the same (which, strangely, seems to be fine for me)

 

Have you checked out fitbit's help file on accuracy at Help article: How accurate are Fitbit trackers?

 

You could try changing the setting to say you are wearing it on your non-dominant hand but actually wear it on your dominant hand. This should increase your step counts.
