Samsung debuted the Galaxy Buds 3 line of earbuds as their flagship offering in July of last year. However, it seems that the tech giant from South Korea is planning to shake things up with the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 series. Rumors suggest that the brand might unveil the new series alongside the release of the Galaxy S26 flagship smartphones. A recent leak of firmware has given us a sneak peek at the design of the Galaxy Buds 4 model.
A leak in September revealed the model numbers for the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro through a One UI 8.5 build. Now, a discovery by Android Authority has unveiled an icon for the Galaxy Buds 4 within the same leaked One UI 8.5 build.
The leaked image showcases a potential design change for the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4, hinting at a less triangular shape. While the earbuds will still feature a stem-like design, they could be more rounded or even flat this time around. Additionally, the leak suggests that the new earbuds will come with in-ear tips for enhanced music listening and more.
Details about the features of the Galaxy Buds 4 are scarce at the moment. However, improvements in audio quality, noise cancellation, and battery life can be expected. The Galaxy Buds 3 already boast AI-powered live translation capabilities, which could see enhancements in the new model.
In anticipation of the upcoming release, consumers can look forward to a variety of new AI features to compete with other market offerings. Samsung is keeping their cards close to the chest for now, leaving us to wonder what innovations they have in store for the next generation of Galaxy Buds devices.
