Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 May Ditch the Triangular Stem

When the Galaxy Buds 3 series of earphones were first released, they were closely compared to the Apple AirPods Pro 2, save for their triangular-looking stem. It seems remarks like that may have irked Samsung somewhat because, based on leaks, the company is currently redesigning its flagship TWS.

Earlier in the year, Android Authority claimed that it had uncovered the model numbers for the Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, thanks to a firmware leak via a One UI 8.5 build. Now, the publication recently reported that it has found a new icon for the alleged in-ear series in the same One UI build.

As per the leak, the upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 and Galaxy Buds 4 Pro may possibly feature a tweaked stem position, bending it to point forward at a 45-degree angle. Not only that, they could feature a “rounded or even flat” stem design. The icon also hints at the continued adoption of in-ear tips similar to this generation.
