A fresh new leak suggests that Samsung is ditching the familiar bean-shaped design for its upcoming Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. It could be the biggest design change for the wireless earbuds since their introduction.
Evan Blass (@evleaks), a well-known tech leaker, posted an obscured image hinting at the new design. The silhouette appears to resemble Apple’s AirPods with an elongated stem.
This design choice could offer several benefits, including improved call quality as the microphone would likely sit closer to the user’s mouth. However, it also means Samsung is moving away from the unique style it introduced in 2020.
The leak aligns with earlier reports suggesting Samsung’s shift towards a stem design. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is also rumored to feature deep integration with Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite, possibly including functionalities like on-the-fly language translation. Improved active noise cancellation (ANC) is also expected.
Switching to a stem-style design means there would be room for Samsung to fit in a larger battery and the audio components will also have more room to play with.
Samsung will tag along a non-Pro model of the Galaxy Buds alongside the Pro variant. Both models are rumored to launch on July 10th, alongside the next-gen Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 phones.
The event will likely also see the launch of new Wear OS-powered Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra smartwatches. Additionally, Samsung is expanding its wearable portfolio with the introduction of a Galaxy Ring. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement to get a clearer picture of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro’s design, features, and performance.
