I am wanting to buy a versa 4 to replace my versa 2. I am reading the versa 4 will be phased out and that after or sometime into 2025 google may not support its operation. They want to promote and replace it with the Google pixel. I do not want to invest in the versa 4 to find it will not be supported and workable in the near future

@Cherlin729 @Pegalina I want to start by saying that Google Product Experts aren't Fitbit employees. I can share information that might help you make your decision. Fitbit said that there won't be a Versa 5 or Sense 3. So the Versa 4 will be available as long as it in the Google Store. Google hasn't lowered their price, either.
Fitbit has a Legacy Device Policy. The policy states that products generally receive software updates for two years after they are sold in the Google Store. Google recently released a major update for several devices. Based on my personal experience, I don't expect any future firmware updates, unless there is a security patch. It might be an issue of semantics, but I don't consider the Versa 4 to be an unsupported device. How far out is your near future?
Fitbit/Google made some changes with the Versa 4 that make it very different from your Versa 2. Specifically, there are no third party apps available for the Versa 4. Also, there is no generic music control feature that lets you control music playing on your phone. The only music control is YouTube Music that requires a YouTube Music premium subscription. Do you urgently need to replace your Versa 2?

Thanks so much for your reply. I’ve been happy with my Versa 2. It gives me what I need. The only issue I have is the battery drains quickly, but I’ve gotten accustomed to charging it every morning. I was interested in the new health features, but really I could do without. Thanks

Btw if I do decide to bite the bullet and purchase another Fitbit, would you recommend the versa 3 or 4? I’ve read the the 3 is better.
