Headphones are among the most frequently lost devices in everyday use. New-generation wireless earbuds, in particular, can easily become lost. However, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Buds 4 Pro could offer a practical solution to this universal problem. Here are the details.
The Charging Case Will Now Find Your Lost Phone
A new leak points to a simple feature that could transform the earbuds’ charging case into a small rescue device. This small quality-of-life improvement stands out as more significant than most hardware upgrades.
The latest leak highlights a new “Find Your Phone” feature integrated into the Buds 4 Pro case. Android Authority has spotted leaked animations showing a dedicated physical button on the charging case.
When you press this button, instead of searching for your earbuds, the charging case sends a Bluetooth command to make your paired Samsung phone ring loudly, making it easy to find your phone. This completely reverses the traditional “find my headphones” workflow, and it’s surprising why no one has thought of this idea before.
The setup seems quite simple. Simply press the physical button on the box and wait for it to reveal your phone’s location. This feature isn’t inherited from the Buds 3 Pro, but rather a brand-new feature exclusive to the Buds 4 Pro. This aligns with Samsung’s habit of adding small but thoughtful innovations to the ecosystem with each generation.
The front of the box also features a speaker grille this time around. This could indicate Samsung has more plans; perhaps this speaker will allow the box itself to ring through your phone or earbuds.
While this is pure speculation for now, the leaks haven’t revealed details like how loud the phone’s alarm will be or whether it will connect to Samsung’s larger “Find My” network. For now, the focus is entirely on that single button.
While the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro’s release is still a while away, it’s already starting to feel like this feature will be used more frequently than many people would care to admit. Amidst leaks about audio settings and design changes, this small detail truly stands out.
