Ahead of their expected launch on February 25, 2026, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 can be seen in real photos shared by @Mr_TechTalkTV on
Previously, we saw the regular Buds 4 (with an open ear design) in black and the Buds 4 Pro in white (with silicone ear tips). However, the new images reverse this order and show the regular earbuds in white and the Pro earbuds in black.
New leaks, familiar rivalry
From the looks of it, both earbuds will be available in white and black finishes, which will appeal to buyers who aren’t interested in the plain white color that the AirPods come in.
Everything from the charging case to the top lid to the AirPods’ earbuds are made from the same glossy white plastic material, which is certainly iconic but leaves buyers with no other option.
While the choice of colors shouldn’t be a problem with the Galaxy Buds 4 series, the design should be what sets them apart from the AirPods (forever). As can be seen in the images, the stems of both Buds 4 models have a metallic finish that enhances their appearance.
More choice, more personality
Samsung opted for a flat charging case that places the earbuds horizontally, making them easier to access and quick to remove. The wider layout also allows for a slimmer profile in your bag or backpack and a chassis that feels more stable on a tabletop.
With two colors, an elevated design, a slim charging case, optimized touch/gesture controls, and potential improvements to sound quality and noise cancellation, the Galaxy Buds 4 should be a compelling choice for Galaxy S26 buyers or other Android users.
