Leaked Images Reveal Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Design
New leaked images published by Android Authority have revealed the design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Buds 4. The images, reportedly extracted from assets within Samsung’s One UI software, indicate that the company is continuing with the stem-based design introduced in the previous generation, with minor aesthetic adjustments.
New “Wire Grille” Detail
The leak suggests the Galaxy Buds 4 will closely resemble the “Pro” variant in general shape but will feature a distinct visual difference.
According to the report, the primary design change is the addition of a “wire grille” element located on the side of the earbud stems. This contrasts with the smooth finish seen on the Galaxy Buds 3. Aside from this texture change, the overall physical structure appears to remain largely consistent with the previous model.
Design Confirmation: Open-Ear Fit
The leaked imagery confirms that Samsung is maintaining the physical distinction between its standard and “Pro” audio tiers. The standard Galaxy Buds 4 are shown without silicone ear tips, indicating an “open-ear” design similar to the Galaxy Buds 3.
This design differs from the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, which earlier leaks have shown to include silicone tips. The lack of a seal on the standard model suggests it will continue to prioritise comfort and ambient awareness over the passive noise isolation found in the Pro line.
Leak Context and Features
This report follows earlier speculation from October, where icons discovered in a One UI 8.5 leak hinted at the new design. These latest images provide a clearer view of the actual hardware assets.
While the visual changes appear to be iterative rather than a major redesign, the report mentions potential functional updates, including references to new gesture support. Specific details on how these controls will function were not included in the leak.
