Recent leaks have unveiled key details about the battery capacities of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro, sparking conversations about the changes ahead for these popular true wireless earbuds.
Battery Capacity Changes: A Slight Reduction for Buds 4, a Boost for Buds 4 Pro
Here’s how the battery capacities compare with previous generations:
- Galaxy Buds 2: 61 mAh
- Galaxy Buds 2 Pro: 61 mAh
- Galaxy Buds 3: 48 mAh
- Galaxy Buds 3 Pro: 53 mAh
The Galaxy Buds 4 will see a modest battery downgrade, dropping from 48 mAh to 42 mAh — a 12.5% reduction. While smaller, this decrease is less severe than last year’s. Conversely, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro will receive a battery upgrade from 53 mAh to 57 mAh, likely translating into longer usage times, enhanced further by software optimizations from Samsung.
For context, despite the Galaxy Buds 3 having a smaller battery than the Buds 2, both offered around five hours of playback, demonstrating Samsung’s effective software tuning.
Charging Case Capacity Expected to Remain Largely Unchanged
Leaked information indicates that the charging case capacities for both models are likely to stay roughly the same as previous generations, maintaining convenience for users on the go.
