Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Leak Reveals Design and Features Ahead of Unpacked Event
Just days before Samsung’s highly anticipated launch event, detailed images of the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 have surfaced online, courtesy of a retailer listing reported by SammyGuru. This leak provides a comprehensive look at the earbuds and their charging case, offering a clear picture of what consumers can expect. The unveiling of the Buds 4 is set to occur alongside the debut of the Galaxy S26 lineup on February 25th, positioning the earbuds as a key component of Samsung’s broader product ecosystem.
Galaxy Buds 4: Design and Aesthetic Changes
The leaked images confirm the Galaxy Buds 4 will retain the stemmed design of their predecessors, however, with a notable simplification of the stem’s profile. While maintaining a familiar form factor, the new design appears somewhat less premium than previous iterations, drawing comparisons to earlier-generation earbuds available at lower price points. The images showcase the earbuds themselves, the charging case from multiple perspectives, and the Buds 4 positioned within the case during the charging process.
Notably, the standard Buds 4 model will forgo silicone eartips, a detail previously anticipated. Conversely, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro model is expected to feature more comfortable eartips for an improved user experience. The leak also highlights a redesigned top microphone port, adopting a larger circular shape in place of the slotted design seen in previous versions.
Charging Case and AI Assistant Integration
The Galaxy Buds 4’s charging case presents a familiar yet refined aesthetic. It features a transparent lid, allowing users to view the earbuds while they are charging, and maintains a traditional square shape with a USB-C port for power input. The case design bears a resemblance to the one utilized before the release of the Buds 3, suggesting a return to a more accessible and user-friendly form factor.
According to the listing, the Galaxy Buds 3 (and likely the Buds 4) will offer support for “two AI assistants,” which is widely believed to refer to integration with both Bixby and Gemini. Additional features highlighted include adaptive sound with 3D sound customization, head gesture controls, and an IP55 water resistance rating. The total playtime is listed at 24 hours, with rumors suggesting a slightly reduced battery capacity maintaining similar performance.
Samsung Streamlines Product Lineup Ahead of Launch
Reports from SamMobile indicate that Samsung has removed listings for the previous Galaxy Buds 3 model in the US, potentially clearing the way for the launch of the new version. The reasoning behind this move remains unclear, but the timing is noteworthy. The company is expected to officially announce the Galaxy Buds 4 on February 25th, alongside its other major product releases, with a price point anticipated to be consistent with last year’s model.
