Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Series Renders Surface Ahead of Galaxy Unpacked Event
On February 25, 2026, Samsung will have its first Galaxy Unpacked event. In addition to the Galaxy S26 lineup, Samsung is set to launch new true wireless stereo earphones called the Galaxy Buds 4. The Galaxy Buds 4 have already had leaked images, thanks to leakster Mohammed Khatri’s post on X, that give you a preview of what they will look like when they become available to purchase. Khatri wrote that they share the same design language but have some new design elements that hint at some changes for the new model. Some of the overall timeline of events coinciding with the release of the Buds, which will occur during this Unpacked event, and the fact that there is a product line refresh for Buds, all provide some visual context to the continuous rumors and open conversations about the rest of the hardware being released by Samsung.
Visual representations of Galaxy Buds 4: Renders and design information
The Galaxy Buds 4 series' renderings depict an all-in-ear style with short stems hanging downward from the earbud itself. The "standard" Ear Buds 4 models have the same polished finish on both the earbud itself and the charging case, but have a slightly different look from the Buds 3. The Buds 4 charging case has a compact square shape with rounded edges and a cover that flips open to expose the earbuds vertically with their visible metal charging contacts and the two built-in microphones on each stem., as portrayed in the renders. These design cues align with expectations set by prior Galaxy earbud iterations and hint at a contemporary, portable form factor that mirrors other true wireless rivals in feel and silhouette.
The Buds 4 Pro is presented with a more premium visual treatment. The renders indicate a matte or dual-tone finish, especially on the stems, which may feature contrasting accents. The fact that this is different from the rest of the series means that Samsung wants us to think about Pro distinctively; it will have some varying textures along with possibly better workmanship and a more premium feel than the regular one (Buds 4). The charging case for the supposed Pro will appear to have a similar shape (design) as the standard, but perhaps will include different textures and/or finishes. Overall, a number of different locations or additional sensors could point towards extra features on the Buds 4 Pro compared to the standard version of the Buds 4.
The renders also provide us with an approximate price for each, with the standard Galaxy Buds 4 costing approx. €179 (approx. ₹19,200 (INR)), and the Buds 4 Pro being priced approx. €249 (approx. ₹26,600 (INR)). The leaked figures suggest Samsung may not be pursuing a price increase for its next-generation TWS earbuds, though final official pricing will be confirmed at launch. Both models are expected to come in black and white color options. The Buds 4 Pro is additionally expected to offer an Apricot colorway, which would be exclusive to Samsung's Online Store. A microsite for the Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro is live on Amazon, hinting that Amazon could be one of the channels for purchasing the earphones when they become available.
The renders and associated details come ahead of the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for February 25, when Samsung is also expected to unveil the Galaxy S26 series. If the previously circulated reports hold, the Buds 4 lineup is positioned as a companion to the forthcoming flagship devices, expanding the ecosystem rather than acting as a standalone product with separate event emphasis. New visuals, price points, and colour options show us what consumers and potential users will see when Samsung presents the Buds 4 devices.
Samsung has released details about when they will have available for sale the Buds 4 as well as how the Galaxy S26 will be available to consumers. According to the timeline provided by Samsung, the Buds 4 series will be launched around the same time as the Galaxy S26, with preview and render previews indicating that the Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro will complement the products in Samsung's responsive ecosystem. This indicates that the Buds 4 will be made available for pre-order or via other early sales channels at approximately the same time as Samsung's event on February 25. Although specifications and features other than the visuals have yet to be confirmed in this report, the available information is enough for us to anticipate the upcoming Bud-series products.
With a compact square design and gloss finish, the Buds 4 earbuds and their case are remarkably attractive. The Buds 4 Pro will have a more matte and dual-tone design. The Buds 4/Pro difference in appearance will be a visible charging contact/mic location on them. The cases will look the same across models. The Buds 4 Pro case may have different materials/finishes. The Buds 4 will cost around EUR 179 (~Rs 19,200) and the Buds 4 Pro will cost about EUR 249 (~Rs 26,600). Available in both black and white, the Buds 4 Pro will be exclusively sold in the apricot colour through the Samsung Online Store. The Buds 4 family is available for sale on a microsite through Amazon.com.
