The Galaxy Buds 4 Pro launch feels imminent as more renders leak (Updated)

Update, February 13, 2026 (04:23 PM ET): We’ve been checking out a lot of Buds 4 imagery over the past few months, and it’s admittedly a bit tricky to keep track of it all. While the renders here were initially presented as new finds, a nagging sense of déjà vu has led us to track down where we’ve seen them before — and indeed, these now appear to be repeats from previous Galaxy Buds 4 finds.

Original article, February 13, 2026 (04:00 PM ET): Eagerly waiting for new Samsung products? Samsung finally confirmed a Galaxy Unpacked event set for Wednesday, February 25 at 10am PT/ 1pm ET, and we’re expecting to see the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy Buds 4 series debut. The unannounced Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have appeared in leaked images and renders for months, leaving little to the imagination. If you needed further evidence that Samsung is planning a major Galaxy Buds shakeup later this month, the Galaxy Buds 4 series were discovered yet again in a One UI 9 test build.

SamMobile unearthed eight previously-unseen images in the leaked One UI 9 test firmware. The renders specifically pertain to the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, which can be identified by their removable silicone ear tips. The images were uncovered in the One UI 9 version of the Galaxy Wearable app.

The renders serve as an early preview of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro pairing experience. Owners of the upcoming earbuds will view these images after beginning the connection process. They reveal the new design of the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, and hint at expected features. As you can see in the graphics above, the leaked Galaxy Buds 4 Pro renders show off noise canceling and voice control functionality.

The images seemingly confirm the new Galaxy Buds 4 Pro charging case, which has a flat design and a clear plastic lid. They also show the fresh look of the earbuds that sport a brushed metal stem without the blade lights found on the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

While it’s unclear from these images exactly how the sound quality or active noise-canceling power will improve, one render appears to show off spatial audio. Past reports suggested Samsung is going with a tried-and-true design to avoid quality issues affecting current Galaxy Buds models.

These leaked One UI 9 renders show the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro in one color, but rumors indicate Samsung could release these premium earbuds in white/silver, black/gray, and an “Apricot” pink colorway.

The rumored Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro will face stiff competition when they eventually release, rivaling Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3, Bose’s new QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 earbuds, and Sony’s new WF-1000XM6 earbuds.
