Over a month has gone by since Android Authority offered an initial glimpse of the Galaxy Buds4. At that time, the site mentioned finding an icon in the One UI 8.5 firmware related to the ‘Buds 4’ name. Later that same month, GalaxyClub hinted that both the Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro would come with minor battery improvements compared to the previous models.
New Developments
Recently, Android Authority has reportedly discovered more information by examining a Galaxy Buds app APK that Samsung plans to release with its future One UI 8.5 update. The Galaxy Buds4 and Galaxy Buds4 Pro, codenamed Handel and Bach respectively, seem to move away from the sharp design seen in the Galaxy Buds3 series (currently priced at $169 on Amazon). However, leaked animations suggest that Samsung is not following Apple’s design style with the AirPods.
Design Features
The Galaxy Buds4 series is said to feature a dual-tone look with a flat stem. While Samsung has apparently eliminated the light bar found in the Galaxy Buds3 series, it will keep gesture controls along with Multi Point connectivity and adaptive noise cancellation. Additionally, Samsung has incorporated head gestures that enable users to reply to notifications and answer calls without needing to use physical controls or check their phones.
Upcoming Launch
Furthermore, the Galaxy Buds4 Pro will continue to support 360° audio recording and will include a “find my phone” feature with a redesigned case. Samsung is currently anticipated to unveil the Galaxy Buds4 series together with its Galaxy S26 series. According to recent speculation, the company is planning to launch the Galaxy S26 around the end of February 2026.
