Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds+ alongside the Galaxy S20 series in early 2020. Even after the release of Galaxy Buds Pro with the Galaxy S21 series in 2021, the company continues to provide regular firmware updates to the older model with new features. The latest such software brings a useful addition to both these truly wireless earphones.
The Galaxy Buds+ and the Galaxy Buds Pro have started receiving a new firmware update in multiple regions across the world. The new software update introduces a convenient feature, which should have been there since the beginning.
The above-mentioned Samsung TWS earbuds finally add support for wear detection during calls. With this new addition, the audio channel switches from the buds to the phone’s speaker when they are removed from the ears. At the same time, the audio output switches back to the buds once they are placed inside the ears.
We tried it on our Galaxy Buds+ and its works as intended. It should work fine on the Galaxy Buds Pro as well.
That said, like any other OTA firmware update, this one is also being seeded out in batches. As usual, Samsung kicked off the rollout in its home market South Korea. However, the update is now available in multiple markets like India.
