Word on the street is that the next pair of Samsung wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, is getting a proper design overhaul.

It seems the stem-style look from the Buds 3 Pro is here to stay, but it’s getting a bit of a polish. The main change appears to be a move away from the previous model’s rather sharp, triangular stem towards something a bit flatter and, one would hope, more comfortable.

That quirky light bar on the stem also seems to have been given the boot, leading to a cleaner, more understated appearance. And you can probably expect the standard Buds 4 to follow this same new design language.

As for when we’ll get our hands on them, the Buds 4 series is likely to make its debut alongside the Galaxy S26 lineup. So, mark your calendars for that usual late January or early February 2026 window – that’s when the big reveal should happen.
