- Pricing appears to be the same as the Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro
- Leak refers to EU pricing; other countries may differ, but is a good guide
- Expected to launch in late February 2026
I’ve just returned from the store, and can confirm with journalistic rigor that everything is more expensive than before, so it’s nice to see a big firm bucking the price-hike trend. A new report says that Samsung‘s forthcoming Buds 4 and Buds Pro 4 won’t be upping the price despite upgrading their specifications.
We really rate the Galaxy Buds Pro 3 and the more affordable Galaxy Buds 3, and leaks about their successors have suggested a launch date as soon as February 2026. The leaked prices are for customers in the EU, and if they’re reflected in other parts of the world then the Buds 4 and Buds Pro 4 should cost the same as the current versions.
What we know about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and Buds 4
The EU prices appear to be €179 for the Galaxy Buds 4 and €249 for the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, the same as for the current models. That would suggest $179 / £159 / AU$299 for the Buds 4 and $249 / £219 / AU$399 for the Buds 4, though obviously there could be variations in those. In Europe there may also be a bundled 25W wireless charger.
The leak comes from Billbil-kun via Notebookcheck.net. Billbil-kun has been accurate about product prices and launch windows before, so this is a credible report – although of course it’s unofficial and unconfirmed.
The expected launch date is 25 February 2026, and both sets of earbuds are expected to launch with black and white versions; a rumor suggests there may also be an apricot color for the Pro model, but that color wasn’t included in the information obtained by Billbil-kun.
We don’t know the specs yet but both earbud models have been slightly redesigned to make them more compact, and the charging case has been given a rethink too. The blade lights of the Buds 3 Pro have apparently been binned, but reports suggest there is significantly improved sound quality and that’s more important.
We’ve covered three upgrades to expect from the Buds 4 based on the leaks here, if you want to dig more into them.
We’re expecting to see the Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro at Samsung Unpacked in late February, and for many more details to leak before then. We’ll keep you posted.
