Samsung is gearing up for the launch of the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro, and thanks to recent leaks, we now have a closer look at their refreshed design. Following hints from earlier icons and snippets, these latest images showcase significant visual upgrades that fans are sure to appreciate.
Fresh Look for Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro
The upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 series will sport a refined design that moves away from previous models’ aesthetics while maintaining a sleek and modern profile. The earbuds themselves appear more compact and ergonomic in the leaked images, making them comfortable for prolonged wear.


Alongside the earbuds, Samsung seems to be redesigning the charging case as well. Breaking away from the vertical form factor seen in earlier Buds, the new case adopts a horizontal layout reminiscent of designs like the Nothing Ear (1). It includes a USB-C charging port and a button that could trigger a phone ring with a double click, adding functionality and convenience.
New Features and Functionalities
While specifics on additional features remain under wraps, Samsung is expected to enhance the overall experience with better ergonomics and usability. The inclusion of a case button to ring a paired device is particularly noteworthy, addressing a common user need.

Community Reactions to the New Design
Fans have already voiced their opinions on the fresh design, with a majority appreciating the visual update. According to a recent poll:
- 57.14% of respondents think it’s a nice refresh.
- 28.57% prefer the triangle design of the Galaxy Buds 3.
- 14.29% feel it’s okay but preferred the original Galaxy Buds more.
This feedback showcases a general excitement for the Galaxy Buds 4 lineup, despite some attachment to the earlier designs.
Looking Ahead
As Samsung prepares to launch alongside the Galaxy S26 series, the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro aim to compete with the likes of Apple’s AirPods Pro 3, which offer heart-rate sensors and upgraded Active Noise Cancellation. With these design and functional improvements, Samsung is positioning its earbuds as a strong contender in the premium wireless audio market.
