Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro 'parts' may have just leaked – but don't hold out for a 2025 release

• A known Samsung tipster has leaked 'parts for upcoming devices' on X
• Components listed are said to be for Buds 4 Pro, Galaxy S26 and Book 6 Ultra
• The 'trade analytics website' cited has not been named

Been a busy year for Samsung's Galaxy Buds output, hasn't it? Not content with recent (and if I'm being brutally honest, slightly messy) recent reveals of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Core and August-issue Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE, the tech giant now looks to be working hard on an update for its flagship set, the decidedly AirPods-esque Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro – which arrived in July 2024.

Yes, it's only good and proper that Samsung would look to update its earbuds lineup, but given that the AirPods Pro 2 launched back in September 2022 and we're still waiting for an update there (although we may well see one in a few hours at Apple's big 'Awe dropping' shindig – namely the AirPods Pro 3) it's still early days, relatively speaking.

Or is it? Tipster @Sam360News has taken to X to post four screen-grabs along with the caption "EXCLUSIVE. A trade analytics website has listed parts for some upcoming devices

- Galaxy S26 (Pro?)
- Galaxy Buds4 Pro
- Galaxy Book6 Pro
- Galaxy Book6 Ultra"

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro: what (and when) to expect

As noted by SamMobile, Galaxy Buds 4 Pro are likely to be launched next year – because it's highly likely that they'll arrive alongside the Galaxy S26 series in 2026.

Rumors have suggested that Samsung could add Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) connectivity to future Galaxy Buds, which would up the chance of getting true hi-res audio from them, but this cannot be confirmed from the most recent leak.

If you do own a set of current Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, Samsung recently added Gemini AI smarts in a free update – if you've got the right source device.

Also up for debate: whether Samsung will launch just the 4 Pro model earbuds, or whether a standard Galaxy Buds 4 is also on the cards – although given the prevalence of 'Pro' quality features (noise cancellation, multi-point, LDAC support and so on) in earbuds devoid of a pro suffix in 2025, I doubt it.

Samsung's Galaxy Book lineup tends to get updated annually, but not its Pro earbuds, and because they were not launched alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in July, it's probable that the much-leaked Galaxy S26 series will be their stablemates.

For now, we'll keep our ear to the ground…
