The Unpacked event on February 25 should present a few surprises beyond the flagship Galaxy S26 series. Alongside the top-of-the-line devices there would also be the new earbuds Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and 4 Pro, already at the center of a series of rumors — even from the upcoming version of One UI.
Awaiting official confirmation, an insider has published a series of render images that would show the final design of both earbuds.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and 4 Pro in unofficial renders: further confirmations on the new design of the earbuds
The renders reveal nothing new, but they allow us to get a “real” look at the earbuds’ aesthetics. The One UI 9 has previewed the design through schematic images and graphical elements; however it was already clear that there would be several aesthetic differences from the current generation.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro feature a familiar look, with a stem design. However, the body of the earbuds has been redesigned and appears less angular than that of Buds 3 and 3 Pro, with a flat surface. The case will also change, now with a horizontal opening and a large transparent plastic section on the front.
As in the current model, what changes is the wearability: the Buds 4 feature a semi in-ear fit and come with a USB-C cable in the box; the Pro version is equipped with in-ear inserts and, in addition to the cable, will come with silicone tips (in different sizes).
For the battery, each earbud should integrate a 42 mAh unit (Buds 4) or a 57 mAh unit (Buds 4 Pro). Among the novelties will be the controls via head movements: nodding and shaking the head will be used to activate certain actions such as answering calls, listening to the read-aloud of notifications, disabling timers and more.
Additionally, it will be possible to press or swipe on the stem of the earbuds to control volume and other features. Recently, the first rumors about European pricing have also emerged: €179 for the base model, rising to €249 for the Pro variant.
