Samsung is poised to significantly redesign its next-generation wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, moving away from the angular aesthetic of the current model. Leaks from Android Authority suggest a flatter design for both the earbuds themselves and their charging case.
Beyond the physical changes, Samsung is also introducing a new “Head Gesture” feature to the Buds 4 Pro. This functionality, revealed through code within One UI 8.5, will allow users to control various functions simply by nodding or shaking their head. The move underscores the growing trend of hands-free control in wearable technology.
According to the leaked code, Head Gestures will enable users to:
- Answer calls and notifications with a nod or decline with a shake.
- Have notifications read aloud or stop the reading function.
- Cancel alarms, timers, calendar alerts, and reminders.
- Respond to yes/no questions or end conversations with an AI assistant.
- The feature is designed for hands-free operation and does not control phone calls or touch functions.
Animations discovered within the software also showcase existing features carried over from the Buds 3 Pro, including 360° audio recording, adaptive noise control, a “Find My Mobile” function, and seamless pairing with phones and tablets. These established features demonstrate Samsung’s commitment to building on existing strengths in the audio space.
