The new earbuds have appeared in the support section of the app, hinting that behind-the-scenes progress is going well for the South Korean tech giant. Since the support section is used for troubleshooting devices, this also indicates that Samsung has already prepared to address potential issues on the earbuds, which are yet to arrive.
Would you buy the Galaxy Buds 4 or Buds 4 Pro?
New design, but what else?
Earlier rumors suggest the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro could have a third color option. Renders posted by trusted tipster Evan Blass also show an upgraded design. The leaked renders show Samsung is likely to mostly retain the Galaxy Buds 3's stem shape, though they appear to be slightly curvier than the existing model.

The Tech Outlook has also come across FCC certifications, providing further details into the soon-to-be-released earbuds. The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro (model number SM-R640) will work with Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low-Energy.The Pro-grade wireless earbuds will also support a 3.85V DC power supply, meaning that Samsung is relying on a higher-voltage battery. Potentially, this could result in longer battery life. Certifications also indicate that the charging case will be modified. It's likely that the Buds 4 lineup will adopt a 'box-like' case, changing the layout from the previous pill-shaped charging case.
While there are no details on audio quality or ANC performance, it's safe to assume the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 will compete straight with Apple's AirPods and the Google Pixel Buds. Recent leaks suggest that Apple won't be launching a new AirPods option in 2026, but by the looks of it, Samsung is relying on an AirPods 3 Pro-like design for its upcoming buds.
The latest Pixel Buds Pro 2, on the other hand, have a smaller, no-stem build, which positions them as an alternative for users who dislike this particular design. One of their highlights is a long battery life. By including a higher-voltage cell, Samsung could directly challenge that with the new Galaxy Buds 4 lineup.
