The redesigned charging case now includes a transparent lid and allows the earbuds to be stored horizontally, a shift from the previous vertical orientation.

The Galaxy Buds 4 offer enhanced interactive features, including swipe, pinch, and tap controls, with the swipe action restricted to an engraved area on the stem. The Pro variant introduces the ability to control calls with simple head gestures: nodding can answer calls while shaking your head can decline them. This gesture functionality also extends to controlling Bixby, while voice commands remain an option.
