Next-gen Fitbit Versa leak reveals Alexa support

The original Versa was precisely the hit a stumbling Fitbit needed. The device was a simple and affordable Apple Watch alternative, helping the company finally break into the one bright spot in the wearable field. According to yesterday’s earnings, the Versa Lite has so far failed to recapture the Versa’s success by offering a fewer features at a discounted price.
The good news for Fitbit, however, is that a new Versa is already on the way. Spotted by perennial leaker, Evan Blass, the device brings some hardware upgrades to the 2018’s device. The screen gets an update from LCD to AMOLED, along with a case refresh, which the Verge rightly notes makes the squircle design even more Apple Watch-esque.
