Overview
- New imagery points to a slimmer, flat‑stem Galaxy Buds 4 with a mesh grille and no silicone ear tips, while the Buds 4 Pro retains tips according to earlier leaks.
- Code strings indicate a pinch‑and‑hold on both stems to start Samsung’s Interpreter live translation without opening the phone when a Galaxy AI‑compatible device is connected.
- Leaked assets suggest a return to a horizontal charging case layout, with indications of a case speaker and a button that may trigger a “find your phone” feature on the Pro model.
- Firmware hints also reference Pro‑only head gestures, such as nodding to accept calls and shaking to reject them.
- Reports place the launch window in early 2026 alongside the Galaxy S26 series and the stable One UI 8.5 release, pending official confirmation from Samsung.
