([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/earbuds/samsung-galaxy-buds-pro/roadmap#faq-how-much-will-galaxy-buds-5-pro-cost)) ### When does Samsung Galaxy Buds 5 Pro come out? Samsung has not announced a date, and no credible leak gives one. The Galaxy Buds Pro line is not annual: the last three gaps between releases were 589, 698 and 595 days, averaging about 20.6 months. Measured from Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, which went on sale 11 March 2026, that points to around November 2027, with a realistic band of late 2027 to early 2028. Treat it as our estimate from Samsung's cadence, not as a reported date.

Its successor is more than a year out on Samsung's own release cadence, with no confirmed specs yet. Samsung's Galaxy Buds4 Pro costs $249.99 and features 24-bit Hi-Fi audio, Adaptive ANC 2.0 and Live Translate. There is no reason to wait for an unannounced upgrade.
