Samsung Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro: First Official Look
Samsung is poised to expand its audio offerings next week at the Galaxy Unpacked event, where the spotlight will be on the Galaxy S26 series. Alongside the new smartphones, the tech giant is anticipated to introduce the next generation of its wireless earbuds: the Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro. Recent leaks, originating from a reliable tipster, have provided high-quality renders showcasing the upcoming devices.
These newly surfaced images don’t introduce groundbreaking design changes, but they deliver the most detailed preview yet of both the Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro, including their respective charging cases. The renders confirm packaging details, indicating the Buds4 Pro will include a charging cable and additional silicone ear tips, while the standard Buds4 model will ship with a charging cable only. Both cases share a comparable aesthetic, though the earbuds themselves exhibit distinct design philosophies.
Design Differences: Buds4 vs. Buds4 Pro
A key differentiator between the two models lies in their fit and construction. The Galaxy Buds4 are designed with a semi-in-ear configuration, eschewing traditional silicone ear tips for a more open experience. Conversely, the Galaxy Buds4 Pro will utilize a traditional in-ear design, complete with interchangeable silicone ear tips to ensure a secure and personalized fit.
Further distinguishing the Buds4 Pro is a completely redesigned stem, now featuring a flat outer surface. The charging case for the Pro variant boasts a transparent lid, allowing a glimpse of the earbuds positioned horizontally within. Internal specifications suggest the Buds4 Pro will be powered by a 57mAh battery, while the Galaxy Buds4 will incorporate a slightly smaller 42mAh cell.
New Features and Expected Pricing
Previous reports indicate that the Galaxy Buds4 lineup will introduce innovative user interactions, including a novel pinch-and-hold gesture control. Furthermore, Samsung is rumored to be integrating an Interpreter mode into the earbuds, potentially offering real-time translation capabilities.
Regarding cost, early estimates suggest the Galaxy Buds4 will be priced around €179. The premium Galaxy Buds4 Pro model is expected to retail for approximately €249, reflecting its enhanced features and specifications.
