Galaxy Buds app update contains more Buds4 official images
Samsung is preparing the Galaxy Buds4 to be released this year to replace the Galaxy Buds3. Today, the company has pushed the Galaxy Buds app update for One UI 8 devices, and it’s under version 8.5.10.900. This update is available for devices running One UI 8 and for Galaxy S25 devices running One UI 8.5 Beta. This is a major version hop from 8.0 to 8.5, indicating readiness for One UI 8.5.
We have dissected the APK file as we are looking for Galaxy Buds4 related files, and we have found several files that point to the upcoming Galaxy Buds4 series, as well as codenames Bach for the Galaxy Buds4 Pro and Handel for the normal Galaxy Buds4 variant. There are too many drawables for the Galaxy Buds4, as well as some of the related files.
Tips for two devices
First of all, we have pictures of tips for the Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro for various features, including 360 audio recording and adaptive noise control. This showcases a feature for the upcoming Galaxy Buds4 device. Here are the pictures of the tips for different features that are similar (Galaxy Buds4 Pro at the left, and Galaxy Buds4 at the right):
For reference, here are the raw files (light mode) of the tips and their file names:

Features for Buds4 Pro
Additionally, there are some of the features that were designed for the Galaxy Buds4 Pro, such as customizing your listening experience for different apps, finding your phone using the earbuds case, and starting the Interpreter.
For reference, here are the raw files (light mode) of the tips and their file names:

Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro renders
The Galaxy Buds app seems to have revealed possible color combinations for the Buds4 Pro (White, Black, and Apricot) and the Buds4 (White and Black) and in their high quality, which matches earlier leaks that we’ve seen.
For reference, here are the raw files (light mode) of the tips and their file names:

Misc
We have seen some additional references to the Galaxy Buds4, including the battery capacity and some of the strings related to the upcoming device. A look at integers.xml file reveals something rather interesting about the Buds4 battery life in both the base and the Pro variants.
<integer name="buds4_battery_rated_capacity">42</integer> <integer name="buds4_battery_typical_capacity">45</integer> <integer name="buds4pro_battery_rated_capacity">57</integer> <integer name="buds4pro_battery_typical_capacity">61</integer> This tells us two things:
- Galaxy Buds4’s battery rated capacity is 42 mAh, while the typical capacity is 45 mAh, in comparison with the Galaxy Buds3 that has 48 mAh.
- Galaxy Buds4 Pro’s battery rated capacity is 57 mAh, while the typical capacity is 61 mAh, in comparison with the Galaxy Buds3 Pro that has 53 mAh.
Additionally, we have seen lots of references to the Galaxy Buds4 (base) in public.xml file:

Currently, there is no clear release date, but if rumors surrounding the reveal date of the upcoming earbuds on February 25 are true, we should expect the reveal of the upcoming earbuds alongside the Galaxy S26 series unveiling.
