Galaxy Buds 4 Battery Update: Buds 4 Dip, But Buds 4 Pro Finds New Energy

Samsung's Galaxy Buds 4 battery details reveal a dip in the standard model, while Buds 4 Pro gets a surprising boost in battery capacity.

If you’re a fan of Samsung’s wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 4 and Buds 4 Pro have been on your radar. Recently, some fresh leaks spilled the beans about these earbuds' battery capacities, giving us a clearer picture of what to expect. Let’s dive into the details, and yes, there’s a twist in the tale between the two models!

Buds 4 Lose Some Ground, Buds 4 Pro Rises Up

The internet got its hands on some slick renders showing the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro and Galaxy Buds 4 sitting side-by-side, dressed in black and silver tones. These images add some visual flair to the specs we’ve been piecing together.

Earlier this month, Galaxy Buds 4 images surfaced online, but now Samsung’s One UI 8.5 code gave up more info — specifically about battery sizes. The Galaxy Buds 4 will apparently pack a 42 mAh battery, while the Buds 4 Pro ups the ante with 57 mAh.

How does that stack up?

Here’s a quick rundown of the recent generations’ battery capacities:

• Buds 2: 61 mAh
• Buds 2 Pro: 61 mAh
• Buds 3: 48 mAh
• Buds 3 Pro: 53 mAh

So, the Buds 4 downgrade slightly from 48 to 42 mAh—a 12.5% drop. Not exactly a plunge, but a noticeable dip nonetheless. Meanwhile, the Buds 4 Pro jump from 53 to 57 mAh, hinting at improved battery life.

But hey, don’t jump to conclusions about the regular Buds 4's battery life taking a nosedive. Samsung has a knack for software optimization that keeps battery performance steady even when capacity shrinks. Remember how the Buds 3, despite having a smaller battery than Buds 2, still managed to deliver around five hours of playback? It’s all about the clever tweaks behind the scenes.

Charging Case Capacity Stays Steady

While we have good info on the earbuds’ batteries, the charging cases remain a bit of a mystery. The latest report from October hinted at just a tiny 3% capacity bump in the cases—not a game-changer by any stretch.

If Samsung keeps these numbers, Buds 4 battery life will likely hover close to Buds 3’s performance. Don’t expect a breakthrough in longevity, but don’t expect a downgrade either.

One Step Forward, One Step Back?

This battery story feels a bit like a dance. The Buds 4 Pro look to be improving, giving us some extra juice, while the standard Buds 4 take a small step back. Yet, if past experience tells us anything, Samsung’s smart software and energy-efficient processors will keep these earbuds competitive.

Add in the improved active noise cancellation modes we’ve come to love, and the Buds 4 series should maintain their solid place in the wireless earbuds market.

"Even when battery capacity drops, Samsung manages to keep the earbuds performing just as well through smart software."

Wrapping It Up: What Does This Mean for You?

In short, if you’re eyeing the Galaxy Buds 4, don’t fret the slight battery dip—it probably won’t make a huge difference thanks to Samsung’s clever engineering. But if battery life is a priority, the Buds 4 Pro’s boost might be your new best friend.

Will these earbuds continue Samsung’s tradition of blending sleek design, solid sound, and smart tech? All signs suggest yes. What are your thoughts? Are you Team Buds 4 or Team Buds 4 Pro?
