The One UI 8.5 source code continues to yield details on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro. A few days ago, tutorial images revealed key upgrades for the next generation. Now, a set of more realistic-looking (but still computer-generated) images has been discovered.
Here’s a look at the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, shown in White and Black. Again, there are no images of the vanilla Buds 4, so we can only assume that they will look identical (especially now that the Blade Lights are gone).

These images (dug up by the Android Authority team) show more detail than the simplified vector graphics from the tutorial – they show a grille at the top of the stem.
This is, presumably, home to at least one of the microphones. Of course, the mics themselves are tiny, so this is more of a decorative element. It’s probably not a touch-sensitive area – tutorial videos show that you can squeeze the bottom part of the stem and also swipe up and down, but there was nothing about the top of the stem.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 series is expected to be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S26 flagships – that should happen in the usual late January time slot, if the latest leaked timeline is to be believed.
