Galaxy Buds 3 FE leak reveals full design and new matte black color

Samsung appears to be gearing up for the launch of its next budget-friendly wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. A new set of leaks has given us our best look yet at the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, while also confirming a fresh color option that adds a bit more style to this upcoming Fan Edition release.

First full look at the design:

A new render shared by Android Headlines on August 6 shows the Galaxy Buds 3 FE in detail, placed inside their charging case. At first glance, the design strongly resembles the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, with a stem-style layout and silicone ear tips—a clear shift from the open-fit design of the base Buds 3.

The charging case follows the same minimalist aesthetic seen on the more expensive models, complete with a transparent lid and compact build. A recent certification listing shows charging rates of 1W for the earbuds and 4.5W for the case, suggesting a modest charging setup. These listings also hint at a possible September 2025 launch, potentially alongside the Galaxy S25 FE.

In addition to the previously leaked white model, the new render reveals a matte black variant, giving users a more low-profile and sleek option. While the white version comes with a glossy finish, the black one offers a more subtle and muted appearance. There’s also reportedly a dual-tone variant featuring a gray case with black ear tips, adding more visual variety to the lineup.

The Galaxy Buds 3 FE are expected to sit slightly higher than the original Buds FE ($99), but still under the premium tier. If they deliver features like Galaxy AI integration, ANC, and enhanced audio quality, they could offer a solid middle ground for Samsung fans looking for flagship-level features without breaking the bank.

While nothing is official yet, all signs point toward a September unveiling, and if these leaks hold true, the Buds 3 FE could make a strong case for being the best value in Samsung’s wireless audio lineup this year.
