When Samsung unveils the Galaxy S20 series next week, it will also announce a new pair of wireless earbuds called the Galaxy Buds+. We already know what it looks like and some of its features but a new leak reveals the full specs of the earbuds as well as the features and price.
The source of the leak is Evan Blass (@evleaks) and the leak is a comparison sheet of the specs of the Galaxy Buds and the Galaxy Buds+.
Galaxy Buds+ Price
The first thing on the list is the price, buyers will be paying more for this year’s Galaxy Buds+. Samsung has put a $149 price tag on the earbuds, $20 more than last year’s model. However, if you will be pre-ordering the Galaxy S20 series, you would not have to pay for the earbuds as Samsung will include a free pair with all pre-orders.
Galaxy Buds+ Specs and Features
The Galaxy Buds+ measures 17.5 x 19.2 x 22.5 millimeters. These are the same dimensions as that of the Galaxy Buds. However, the new buds are slightly heavier at 6.3 grams as against the Galaxy Buds that is 5.6 grams.
As reported, the battery capacity and thus the battery life of the Galaxy Buds+ are better than that of its predecessor. The buds themselves now have a battery capacity of 85mAh which will provide up to 11 hours of play time. This is an increase of almost 100% from the Galaxy Buds’ 6-hour battery life. Talk time has increased by 2.5 hours to 7.5 hours.
The battery capacity of the case is 270mAh, 18mAh more than its predecessor’s. The play time of the Galaxy Buds+ combined with the case is now 22 hours while the talk time is 15 hours, which are significant improvements when compared to the 13 hours of play time and 11 hours of talk time of the Galaxy Buds.
There is also fast charge included. The spec sheet says a 3-minute charge will provide 60 minutes of play time.

The new earbuds will connect via Bluetooth 5 and will support multi-device connection, unlike last year’s model that can only be connected to one device at a time. The Galaxy Buds+ also has 2-way dynamic speakers (a woofer and tweeter). It also has an extra outer microphone which should help with canceling noise for clearer calls.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ will have noise isolation, ambient awareness, and support touch controls. It also has an IPX2 rating, so you don’t have to worry about sweat damaging it when you use it during workouts.
The spec sheet says the new earbuds will also work with iOS devices running iOS 10 and up while Android devices running Android 5.0 and up and with at least 1.5GB RAM are supported.
The Galaxy Buds+ will be available in black and white color variants like its predecessor but will swap the yellow and silver variants for blue and red.
