- Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro is ready to be launched
- These earphones are approved by the FCC
- We may see them appear alongside the Galaxy S26
We’ve heard a lot about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro in recent months, and now it looks like the launch of these wireless earbuds is imminent, according to new information that has surfaced online.
As spotted by SamMobile, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro have been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US – an important regulatory step for any gadget that goes on sale in the US.
There’s no mention in this report of the standard Galaxy Buds 4, but we’ll almost certainly see both pairs of wireless earbuds launch together, and once FCC certification is out of the way, it usually doesn’t take long for a product to appear.
The filing doesn’t really tell us much about the earphones, but previous leaks have revealed a flatter and more compact design this time around. Head gestures to answer calls also seem to be supported, as we’ve already seen on Apple AirPods.
Now delayed
Another earlier leak pointed to parts apparently set for the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, although the list that was published didn’t give us any solid hints about the features and audio upgrades the earbuds could bring.
Given that the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Samsung Buds 3 launched in July 2024 – along with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, you may recall – it could be argued that the fourth-generation versions are now overdue.
We’re most likely looking at a launch alongside the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, and those phones are rumored to appear in February. We may even see phones and earphones combined in various pre-order offers when the time comes.
Given that references to these earphones have already started appearing in Samsung’s One UI 8.5 software, which is currently in beta testing, it shouldn’t be too long now before we get some new contenders for our best wireless earphones list.
