I love the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, but using them with a Pixel is a mess

I love the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. That’s no surprise — I’ve owned all four generations of Pro Galaxy Buds, and I’ve loved all of them. They’re comfortable, sound great to my ears, and have features I can’t get anywhere else. The experience isn’t perfect, though. Using Galaxy Buds with something other than a Samsung device has always been a compromise, but with the Buds 4 Pro, that experience is nothing short of broken.

Broken widgets

I use the home screen widget for my Galaxy Buds all the time. If they’re connected to another device, tapping the widget is a quick way to open the Galaxy Wearable app, and doing so automatically connects the buds to my Pixel 10 Pro. That’s besides the convenience of having easy access to sound controls. Unfortunately, the widget is almost entirely broken, as demonstrated by the video above.
