Samsung’s next generation of flagship earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, is getting closer to its expected debut alongside the Galaxy S26. We’ve already seen animated outlines from a previous leak. But now, a set of photo-realistic images has finally landed, confirming the final Galaxy Buds 4 Pro design and, more importantly, revealing a surprising aesthetic shift for the “Pro” line.
The core shape of the Buds 4 Pro matches with the graphics we’ve seen. However, the new pics (shared by Android Authority) show a new, striking metallic element: a notably large metal grille adorning the side of each earbud.

This addition makes the Buds 4 Pro visually stand out. Previous Samsung earbuds, even the “Pro” versions, typically featured a smooth, minimalist shell where microphone openings were discreetly tucked away. This new grille, visible in both the white and black colorways, is anything but subtle.
The prominence of this metallic element suggests it is more of an aesthetic choice than a functional one. The microphones that enable features like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Ambient Sound generally require much smaller openings. Instead, this grille provides a visually highlighting look, adding a sense of durability and high-end audio equipment design. It certainly gives the Buds 4 Pro a more distinguished, serious presence compared to the smoother, pebble-like aesthetic of past models.
There isn’t much to say yet regarding the Buds 4 Pro in terms of tech specs. Leaks are just starting to surface, and as usual, the first thing we learn is the earbuds’ design. As per this leak, it seems Samsung is trying to emphasize the “premium” nature of its upcoming Pro audio accessory.
Samsung has yet to officially announce the upcoming Galaxy Buds. Industry sources expect the company to unveil the Galaxy Buds 4 alongside the Galaxy S26 lineup at the first Unpacked event of 2026.
