Leaked renders showcased Samsung’s upcoming audio lineup: the Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro. The images suggest a design shift as Samsung prepares to launch the wearables alongside the Galaxy S26 series later this month.
Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Series Leak
The most notable change is a departure from the sharp, angular “Blade” design of the previous generation. Instead, the new models feature a more refined, flatter stem. Both versions appear to include a metal strip running down the stem, potentially housing sensors for improved touch or pinch controls.
In addition, Samsung is maintaining a clear physical distinction between the two models. The Buds4 Pro features an in-ear design with silicone tips for superior noise isolation, while the standard Buds4 adopts a “semi-in-ear” open design, similar to standard AirPods.
The charging case has also seen a total makeover. The new squarish case features a transparent lid, and the earbuds now rest horizontally rather than vertically. Beyond aesthetics, rumors suggest the Buds 4 Pro may introduce innovative “Head Gestures,” allowing users to answer calls or control media by nodding or shaking their head.
Expected to retail at EUR 179 for the standard model and EUR 249 for the Pro, the Buds4 series aims to balance premium features with a more ergonomic, “back to basics” design philosophy.
