Samsung’s surprise Unpacked reveal wasn’t a Galaxy phone at all – major new Buds upgrade incoming

Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro review.
Quick Summary

In addition to the Galaxy S26 range of phones, Samsung used its Unpacked event in late February to launch two new earbuds: the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro.

The latter has a 'canal design', designed to sit in your ear for best active noise-cancelling (ANC), while the former is designed to sit to the outer part of your ear canal – but also offers ANC.

Key to this generational upgrade is the 'premium metal finish', with a 'blade design' that protrudes from the ears. Sound quality is the core focus, too, with Hi-Res Audio supported.

When you think of the best earbuds, or certainly the most popular, a lot of people will say it's Apple's AirPods. But then not everyone is aligned with this ecosystem.
