Lovense Lush 4 vs Lush 3: what the new generation actually changes
Same app, same long-distance control, same waterproofing, same weight. The differences are battery, charging and range, and whether they are worth the gap depends on how you will use it.

A verdict for each, not a single winner
Lovense
Lovense Lush 4
The one to buy for most people
Longer battery life and much faster charging fix the most common way a wearable fails in practice: running flat when it is needed. With the two only about ten dollars apart at Lovense's own store when we checked, the upgrade costs very little.

Lovense Lush 3
Worth it only at a real discount
It does everything the Lush 4 does through the app, including long-distance control, with the same waterproofing and intensity. If a retailer prices it well below the Lush 4, the saving can outweigh the shorter battery; at a small gap, it rarely does.
Read the full reviewLovense still sells the Lush 3 alongside its successor, which makes this one of the most common questions in the category: is the new one worth more? The useful answer starts with what did not change, because that is most of the device.
What stayed the same
Both run on the same Lovense Remote app, with the same internet-based long-distance control, custom patterns and sound-reactive modes. Both weigh 75 g, both are rated IPX7, and Lovense quotes the same maximum intensity of 7,000 vibrations per minute and the same 120 hours on standby. For the partner holding the phone, the experience is the same device.
What changed: battery and charging
This is the real upgrade. Lovense quotes up to 350 minutes of use for the Lush 4 against 220 for the Lush 3, and a full charge in 45 minutes against 80. The figure that matters most in practice is the shortest one: five minutes on the charger gives the Lush 4 about an hour of use. A wearable that has gone flat is the most common way a planned evening goes wrong, and this addresses it directly.
Treat the battery numbers as best cases. Lovense itself says the Lush 4 runs anywhere from about 122 to 350 minutes depending on intensity. The Lush 3's 220 minutes is likewise a best case, though Lovense does not publish its low end.
Range, noise and the light
The Lush 4's stated Bluetooth range rises from 75 to 105 metres outdoors. For long-distance use this changes nothing, because that control runs over the internet; it matters when the phone is in another room of the same building. The minimum noise figure drops from 38 to 36 dB, a small difference on paper. The LED light tail is the most visible change and the least important one: it is customisable in the app, and most buyers will treat it as a novelty.
Which one, then
Buy the Lush 4 unless the Lush 3 is meaningfully cheaper where you are shopping. The faster charging alone justifies a small difference in price. If you find the Lush 3 at a real discount and you will charge it ahead of time, you give up very little that the app experience depends on.
