We are in an era where “inflation” seems to be the favorite word of tech manufacturers. However, Samsung might take a different route with some of its upcoming products. We’ve seen rumors about the company freezing the price of the Galaxy S26 lineup in the US. Now, the latest leak suggest that the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 and 4 Pro won’t just bring technical upgrades—they will also maintain the same price as their previous generation.
A report today practically confirmed the first 2026 Unpacked event for February 25th. On that day, the company will reveal to the world both the Galaxy S2 series and the Galaxy Buds 4, the focus of this article.
Galaxy Buds 4 pricing leaks: Samsung may match previous model costs
A recent report from Dealabs focusing on the European market claims that Samsung plans to keep the pricing for the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro identical to their predecessors. If these rumors hold true, we are looking at €179 for the standard model and €249 for the Pro version.
While these figures are specific to the EU, they serve as a reliable compass for other regions. For users in the U.S., this strongly suggests that the $179 and $249 price points remain safe. In a year where component costs have pressured many brands to hike their MSRPs, Samsung’s decision to stick to the status quo is a significant win for consumers.
A design rethink
It isn’t just the price that’s catching people’s attention. According to rumors, the earbuds will bring a serious redesign. If you weren’t a fan of the current Buds 3’s sharp, triangular stems, there’s good news. Leaked images from Samsung’s own “Tips” app show a shift toward a flatter, more compact aesthetic.
The charging case is also getting a makeover. Instead of a traditional lid that just pops open at the top, the new design reportedly opens up more broadly, showcasing the earbuds nestled with their stems facing outward. This also means that the “blade lights” from the previous Pro version will vanish. But the trade-off seems to be a more ergonomic and refined look.
Smarter gestures and better sound
Beyond the looks, Samsung is leaning into “hands-free” innovation. One of the most talked-about features is the addition of head gestures. Imagine nodding your head to accept a call or shaking it to decline one while your hands are full—it is a small but practical touch that humanizes the tech.
Under the hood, rumors point toward Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) connectivity. This isn’t just for finding your lost buds under the couch. The tech could unlock true high-resolution audio, providing the depth and clarity that audiophiles demand.
The launch bonus
To sweeten the deal, some regions might see a launch-day “early bird” special. Rumors suggest that purchasing the new buds—specifically in the sleek black colorway—could come with a free 25W wireless charging pad.
Of course, Samsung has yet to confirm these details officially. However, the sheer volume of leaks suggests we are very close to the finish line. If the Galaxy Buds4 can deliver improved sound and smarter features without a price increase, they might just be the most sensible tech upgrade of early 2026.
