Samsung launches Food Can Case for the Galaxy Buds4/Buds4 Pro

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Buds4 and the Buds4 Pro earphones with the Galaxy S26 in this year’s Galaxy Unpacked event, and those earphones are major improvements over the Buds3 series, because they brought deep bass and clearer treble, along with ultra high quality audio and hi-fi audio.

During the lifecycle of the Buds4 series, Samsung unveiled various accessories for the Buds4, and the latest entry is the Food Can Case for the Galaxy Buds4 and the Buds4 Pro.

It comes in three colors, with each one corresponding to a different food ingredient:

• Sardines (Blue): Ocean fresh sardine fishes (GP-FPR640AMBLU) 🐟

This provides you with the amusing experience for the Galaxy Buds4 with the realistic can design and playful keyring, and those cases are used to store the Galaxy Buds4 case and to protect it.

The price for each food can case is $29.99 per one unit in the USA. Similarly, the case is available in the UAE for 114 AED.

You can buy the food can case in different countries, including the USA and the UAE.

Galaxy Buds4 series sales skyrocketed!

Samsung has recently released the Galaxy Buds4 series (the base and the Pro variants) with the Galaxy S26 series in this year’s Galaxy Unpacked event, which provides you with ultra high quality audio, deeper bass, and richer treble. With support for head gestures, active noise cancellation, and 24-bit / 96 kHz audio, your listening experience just got a lot better, especially when listening to hi-fi audio.

Two weeks after the global release, the Galaxy Buds4 series witnessed a huge success! Samsung reported (via ETNews) that the Galaxy Buds4 series has reached and exceeded 100,000 units being sold in Korea, which is a huge milestone for a flagship earbuds series. This milestone was led by the higher-end Galaxy Buds4 Pro, which provides more features than the base model.

The Galaxy Buds4 Pro carries over 90% of total sales, which makes it a leader of this milestone. Reviews from actual buyers and online reactions have spread quickly, causing daily sales to reach over 7,000 units in some days, which is an impressive performance given the innovation that Samsung worked hard on over these earbuds.

The reason for this kind of milestone was that because enhanced performance and enhanced artificial intelligence (AI) features were being integrated into the earbuds, along with the high sound quality for Hi-Fi audio and the head gestures function, which was implemented for the first time ever in the Galaxy Buds series.

The Galaxy Buds4 series is selling well, while the Galaxy S26 series is also selling well.

„Samsung Galaxy S26“ serija – evoliucija su privatumo prieskoniu. Gamintojas atsisakė titano ir naudojo sustiprintą aliuminį.

Ryškiausia naujiena – „S26 Ultra“ dizaino pokytis: kampai tapo labiau užapvalinti nei pirmtako, telefonas delne guli patogiai, tačiau sumažino S-Pen.

Nors kamerų sensoriai liko tie patys kaip S25 Ultra, kai kuri optika pasikeitė: pagrindinio modulio diafragma prasiplėtė iki f/1.4 (47 % daugiau šviesos), o 5x teleobjektyvo iki f/2.9.

Ekranas gavo integruotą privatumo technologiją, slepiančią turinį nuo pašalinių žvilgsnių. „Ultra“ veikia „Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5“, o kiti modeliai turi „Exynos 2600“ procesorius.

DI tapo ašimi: „Now Nudge“ agentas padeda bendrauti, o „Creative Studio“ kuria turinį.

Ausinės „Buds4“ stebina galvos gestų valdymu ir skaidriu dėklu.

S26 serija – galimas pasirinkimas nebent senesnių S21/S22 savininkams, ieškantiems balanso tarp galios, fotografijos ir DI galimybių.

Samsung Galaxy Buds4 pricing leaks ahead of release

A stream of leaks about the Galaxy Buds4 didn’t end, because we’re now seeing more information about the upcoming earbuds. This time, it’s about pricing of the earbuds in Europe.

Due to how the component prices soared starting December 2025 due to DRAM shortages, Samsung was considering raising prices in some devices. According to a recent report by Dealabs in France, European pricing for the Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro has been revealed.

• Galaxy Buds4 will be priced at €179 upon launch
• Galaxy Buds4 Pro will be priced at €249 upon launch

That’s good news, because Samsung won’t raise prices of the upcoming earbuds, despite the crisis that started on December 2025.

When Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro devices were launched, they were priced at €179 and €249, respectively. This means that there is no change in launch pricing of the devices.

Are you ready for the Galaxy Buds4?

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:

• bach_tips_thumbnail_360_audio_recording.png
• handel_tips_thumbnail_360_audio_recording.png
• bach_tips_thumbnail_adaptive_noise_control.png
• handel_tips_thumbnail_adaptive_noise_control.png
• bach_tips_thumbnail_control_your_earbuds_with_gestures.png
• handel_tips_thumbnail_control_your_earbuds_with_gestures.png

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:

• bach_tips_thumbnail_customized_listening_in_different_apps.png
• bach_tips_thumbnail_find_your_phone_using_earbuds_case.png
• bach_tips_thumbnail_pair_with_a_phone_or_tablet.png
• bach_tips_thumbnail_quick_control_for_your_earbuds.png
• back_tips_thumbnail_start_interpreter.png

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:

• home_image_bach_apricot.png
• home_image_bach_black.png
• home_image_bach_white.png
• home_image_handel_black.png
• home_image_handel_while.png

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.

Release date

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.

Galaxy Wearable 2.2.68.26010761 update contains Galaxy Buds4 icons

While leakers like Evan Blass leak information about the Galaxy Buds4 as it becomes closer to the official release, along with the FCC database approving the Galaxy Buds4’s existence, Samsung have pushed the Galaxy Wearable update, which is version 2.2.68.26010761, to provide improvements and bug fixes.

Digging deep into the Galaxy Wearable APK file, we have found evidence of the icons of the upcoming Galaxy Buds device, which is Galaxy Buds4, as per the two file names: scanning_list_buds4.webp (drawable and drawable-night-xxhdpi) and ic_buds4.webp (drawable). Those files have relationship with the Galaxy Buds4, and they match the leaked designs of the Galaxy Buds4, which appeared before the Galaxy Wearable update.

In the XML files, we’ve seen references to those same drawables from the public.xml file, but we’ve not seen strings that refer to the Galaxy Buds4.

 values/public.xml:3215:    <public type="drawable" name="ic_buds4" id="0x7f070077" />  values/public.xml:3309:    <public type="drawable" name="scanning_list_buds4" id="0x7f070100" /> 

Here are the raw files for the Buds4 icons:

The Galaxy Wearable update also seems to have improved compatibility with One UI 8.5, as we’ve seen references to One UI 8.5, which is still in the Beta phase as of now for the Galaxy S25, as confirmed by the XML files themselves:

 xml/runtime_manifest_overlay.xml:5:        <policy android:icon="@mipmap/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable" android:enabled="true" android:priority="1" minValue="80500" type="ONEUI" />  mipmap-anydpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable.xml:4:    <background android:drawable="@drawable/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_background" />  mipmap-anydpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable.xml:5:    <foreground android:drawable="@drawable/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_foreground" />  mipmap-anydpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable.xml:6:    <monochrome android:drawable="@drawable/oneui_8_5_theme_ic_galaxy_wearable" />  values/public.xml:3300:    <public type="drawable" name="oneui_8_5_shorcut_ic_galaxy_wearable_foreground" id="0x7f0700f5" />  values/public.xml:3638:    <public type="drawable" name="oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_background" id="0x7f0700f3" />  values/public.xml:3639:    <public type="drawable" name="oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_foreground" id="0x7f0700f4" />  values/public.xml:3640:    <public type="drawable" name="oneui_8_5_theme_ic_galaxy_wearable" id="0x7f0700f7" />  values/public.xml:4777:    <public type="mipmap" name="oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable" id="0x7f0e0003" /> 

Those XML files refer to the drawables and mipmaps, which are found in:

 ./drawable/oneui_8_5_shorcut_ic_galaxy_wearable_foreground.xml  ./drawable-mdpi/oneui_8_5_theme_ic_galaxy_wearable.png  ./drawable-mdpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_foreground.png  ./drawable-mdpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_background.png  ./drawable-xhdpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_foreground.png  ./drawable-xhdpi/oneui_8_5_theme_ic_galaxy_wearable.png  ./drawable-xhdpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_background.png  ./drawable-xxhdpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_foreground.png  ./drawable-xxhdpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable_background.png  ./drawable-xxhdpi/oneui_8_5_theme_ic_galaxy_wearable.png  ./mipmap-anydpi/oneui_8_5_ic_galaxy_wearable.xml 

Below is the preview of those files:

It’s expected that the Galaxy Buds4 is going to be supported with the latest Galaxy Wearable update, and the upcoming device will be revealed this year, to be a successor to the current Galaxy Buds3 series, which will be replaced soon.

Here are the raw files for the drawables for the One UI 8.5 theme support:

To update Galaxy Wearable, you can update it either from the Galaxy Wearable app itself (Menu > Settings > About > Update) or from the Galaxy Store (Menu > Updates).

Samsung is working on Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro

After the Galaxy Buds3 FE, various leaks about One UI 8.5 surfaced as of today. One interesting leak pointed out the availability of the Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro model numbers, and they are the upcoming flagship earbuds that are made by Samsung to succeed the Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro.

According to a report from Android Authority, the team have managed to obtain the APKs, courtesy of That Josh Guy, we now have the first references to the Galaxy Buds4 and Buds4 Pro and their model numbers, which are SM-R540 and SM-R640, respectively.

In an attempt to uncover further information, we have checked for those model numbers on the official FOTA servers, and saw that only the SM-R640 was available in the testing servers, with the following information that is obtainable for all CSCs, such as XSG, INS, XAR, KOO, and so on:

• SM-R640: R640XXU0AYI1 [INS]

Unfortunately, the SM-R540 is not available yet in the FOTA servers, but we expect its appearance soon to further prove that the base model is in development.

Galaxy Buds4 will be released in 2026.
