The existence of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro has been confirmed following their appearance in the Samsung Members app. The new wireless earbuds are anticipated to be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S26 series at a Galaxy Unpacked event in late February, with reports suggesting their pricing may remain consistent with previous models.
Confirmation and Anticipated Launch
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro were observed within the feedback support section of the Samsung Members app. This sighting was initially reported by X user Alfatürk, who shared a screenshot depicting both the base and Pro versions of the earbuds listed on a device selection screen intended for troubleshooting.
This appearance within the app serves as a confirmation of their upcoming release.
Samsung is expected to introduce the new Galaxy Buds lineup during its Galaxy Unpacked event in late February. This event is also where the Galaxy S26 series is anticipated to be unveiled.
Design and Features
Previous leaks, including those related to Samsung's One UI 8.5 OS, have provided images and animations of the new earbuds. The design of the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro is anticipated to be curvier and more compact. They are expected to move towards more pronounced curves compared to the triangular design of the Galaxy Buds 3 series, while retaining a stem shape. The new design is also expected to include a wired grille at the top.
Reports indicate that the Blade Lights feature, present on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, will be discontinued in the new series. The charging case for the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro has reportedly been redesigned to allow the earbuds to sit flat. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the new earbuds will offer enhanced sound quality.
Pricing and Availability
According to reports, Samsung plans to maintain the current pricing for its upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 series. The Galaxy Buds 4 is expected to launch at €179 in Europe, with the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro priced at €249. These figures match the launch prices of the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
Both the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are expected to be available in black and white color options. An Apricot color option may be exclusive to the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, potentially limited to purchases made via Samsung's online store. In certain markets, such as France, Samsung may include a free 25W wireless charger with purchases of the Galaxy Buds 4 series.
Related Device Information
The Galaxy S26 series, expected to launch concurrently with the new earbuds, is rumored to be a refinement rather than a complete redesign. Potential updates for the S26 series include a thinner chassis, a new 12MP telephoto sensor, and an updated Snapdragon processor. Separately, Samsung is reportedly considering price adjustments for the Galaxy S26 series in some regions.
