Recently, Samsung made a quiet yet significant announcement regarding the launch of the new Galaxy Buds Core in India. Targeted as an affordable audio solution, these new buds are not intended to replace the flagship Galaxy Buds 3 series. Instead, they serve as an economical option for consumers looking for quality sound without breaking the bank.
While the launch of the Galaxy Buds Core has stirred excitement, there is more on the horizon. According to reliable sources at Galaxy Club, Samsung is in the development stages of a new pair of premium earbuds, tentatively named the Galaxy Buds 4. This upcoming product hints at a shift in Samsung’s traditional launch schedule.
Typically, Samsung unveils its premium earbuds during the summer months or early autumn. However, the development timeline for the Galaxy Buds 4 suggests a departure from this norm. The information available indicates that these highly anticipated earbuds will not be launched this year. Instead, they are likely to debut at the first Galaxy Unpacked event of 2026.
That’s right! The Galaxy Buds 4 are expected to be showcased alongside the upcoming Galaxy S26 series, with a potential market release around January or February 2026. This strategic timing could align the launch of the Buds 4 with Samsung’s flagship smartphone, boosting their visibility and consumer interest.
As of now, specific details regarding the specifications and pricing of the Galaxy Buds 4 remain undisclosed. However, a Samsung patent application filed five months ago hinted at the possibility of incorporating UWB connectivity into their wireless earbuds. It's important to note that this technology was not directly associated with the Galaxy Buds 4, leaving us uncertain about whether this feature will be included in the upcoming model.
Additionally, there is some ambiguity surrounding whether Samsung plans to release successors to both the standard Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, or if the Galaxy Buds 4 will serve as a single model that encompasses the best features of both. This uncertainty adds to the excitement as consumers await more information.
Looking ahead, the next Galaxy Unpacked event, where the Galaxy S26 series is expected to be revealed, may take place in January or February 2026. Although no fixed dates have been announced, Samsung is currently focused on preparations for this summer’s Unpacked event, which is set to commence next week in New York City.
Stay tuned for more updates as Samsung continues to innovate in the audio space with their upcoming products.
