Samsung UK just dropped a killer limited-time offer for the Galaxy S25+ that’s hard to pass up. Not only do you get a £150 discount on the phone, but they’re offering a free pair of Galaxy Buds 3 Pro—worth £219. If you’ve been eyeing a premium phone and the Buds 3 Pro earbuds, this deal is for you!

This limited-time deal lets you save £369!

Following their earlier Galaxy S25+ offer with free Buds 3, Samsung has upped the ante. This new deal slashes £150 off the Galaxy S25+, dropping the 256GB model to £849 (from £999) and the 512GB to £949 (from £1,099).

On top of that, you get the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro at no extra cost. These earbuds, normally £219, are Samsung’s best yet, boasting Blade Lights and planar driver tech for crisp, immersive audio. Even if you buy them separately, they’re currently £40 off, but snagging them free with the S25+ is a real win.

The Galaxy S25+ itself is a solid choice for Samsung enthusiasts — it packs a 6.7-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with 2600 nits of brightness, more than enough for outdoor usage on a sunny day. It’s powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip as the S25 Ultra, ensuring seamless execution of almost anything you can through at it. Although its middle frame is made of aluminum instead of the Ultra’s titanium, the overall build quality is still impressive, as per reviews and durability tests. While it lacks the S Pen, it’s the best non-Ultra slab phone Samsung offers — and its slightly smaller size makes it more appealing to those who prefer one-hand use.

This deal is only available for a short time, so you’ll need to act fast. Head to Samsung’s UK e-shop to grab the S25+ in your choice of storage and color. With £369 in savings, this bundle is a perfect time to upgrade for Galaxy fans.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have been widely praised for the new look with the “blade lights” on the stems. However, a series of quality control issues have marred their reputation. From fragile ear tips to high-pitched sound problems, the earbuds have faced multiple complaints so far. The most pressing issue, however, is the growing number of reports about charging malfunctions.

The charging problem

Many Galaxy Buds 3 Pro users have reported that one of the earbuds does not charge properly. Symptoms include the charging case’s orange blinking light, a phone notification saying the earbuds aren’t charging, and, of course, the battery percentage of one of the earbuds remaining stagnant. Upon digging deeper it seems that the issue has multiple root causes, again suggesting significant quality control flaws.

Magnetic sensor malfunctioning

One user identified the magnetic sensor, which detects whether the earbuds are in the case, as a possible reason behind this issue. The user suggested a temporary fix involving “bringing the defective earbud close enough to the case so the magnet/sensor thinks it’s inside” and removing it.

The LED should blink, and you’ll see the “charging stopped” notification. While repeating the process a couple of times reportedly solved the problem (at least temporarily), I wonder if a single person considering a Rs 19,464 (USD 223) TWS from Samsung can accept this experience.

Long story short, this is barely a workaround for the issue on this product, even if it works.

The next discovery is damaged charging pins

Another user discovered that the charging pins in their case appeared damaged or “melted.” While earbuds are low-energy devices and shouldn’t generate significant heat, this issue raises concerns about manufacturing defects. Notably, an incident from last year involved a Galaxy Buds FE exploding, which further fuels worries about Samsung’s quality control.

And of course, there’s the software update

A software update released in October 2024 has also been linked to the charging issue. Some users reported the problem only arose after installing the update. While this suggests a potential software fix, Samsung has yet to roll out a global solution. A recent update in South Korea (version R530XXU0AYB3) offers hope, but its availability elsewhere remains unclear.

You need to pay Samsung to fix the issue

Despite the apparent manufacturing issues, Samsung service centers have reportedly blamed water damage in many cases, charging users as much as $180 for repairs. Affected users insist they never exposed the earbuds to water.

The post Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro faces widespread charging issues appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung launched its Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro back in July last year with a major redesign. Instead of the rounded design of the first two generations, now it contains a stem. The Pro model also has a light strip, which gives it a unique look and differentiates it from the AirPods and other competitors. But as it turns out, Samsung isn’t stopping here. They have some pretty ambitious goals for the wearable.

Future Galaxy Buds to equip cameras

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Samsung has plans to add cameras to Galaxy Buds, which is expected to add some new capabilities to it alongside offering a good listening experience.

Although, it’s important to note that the concept isn’t entirely new. Apple is also rumored to have similar plans for its AirPods Pro 3, which should launch sometime this fall. Unfortunately, Gurman didn’t reveal anything about the functionalities Samsung is aiming to implement with the camera.

According to earlier reports, Apple’s plan is to implement in-air gesture controls with IR cameras, which will definitely improve human-machine interaction.

Apple and Meta also have similar plans

Meta is also wireless earbuds with cameras, called ‘Camera Buds’. This one will apparently let users “look at an object and ask the earbuds to analyze the item.” According to reports from last year, Meta’s prototype suffered from poor viewing angles and visibility problems with people who have long hair. Above all, adding cameras means increasing the processing and power requirement.

Personally, I’m curious to see how the design and appearance will change with this addition, and, more importantly, how comfortable it will be. Nonetheless, the very existence of Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses proves that it’s possible to add cameras to such a compact device.

While not much is known about Samsung’s implementation, judging from the industry trends, we may expect similar features in Samsung’s offering. A report from Sammobile also speculates “Samsung’s Galaxy Buds with cameras might act as a stop-gap alternative to smart glasses.”

That said, there is no word on when to expect Samsung’s camera-enabled earbuds to hit the market. At this point, we only expect the product to hit the shelves for sometime in the near future. For more daily updates, please visit our News Section.

The post Samsung developing Galaxy Buds with cameras: claims new report appeared first on Gizmochina.

A couple of months ago, Samsung unveiled its latest lineup of premium truly wireless earbuds. The new hearables were dubbed the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. But unlike previous generations, the Galaxy Buds 3 series are more differentiated and meet different requirements at varying budgets. So which one should you buy? Read on to find out.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro or Galaxy Buds 3: Design

One of the biggest changes in the Galaxy Buds series is the overhaul in design. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro hasn’t seen a massive change, retaining the silicon ear tips but housing new LED strips. These help indicate the charging states and much more. On the other hand, the vanilla Galaxy Buds 3 no longer has silicon ear tips, changing to a semi in-ear design. So Samsung is now offering its premium hearables just like Apple with its AirPods and AirPods Pro.

Another notable change is to the charging case itself on both models, with the lid on the top featuring a transparent design. To recall, the Galaxy Buds 2 and Buds 2 Pro offered an in-design design with ear tips, meaning there is a distinct audio experience in the base and Pro options. For protection, the Galaxy Buds 3 series arrives with an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance.

Specifications

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 has a one way 11mm dynamic driver while the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro houses a dual driver setup with a 10.5mm dynamic driver with an additional 6.1mm planar. Both versions support 24bit Hi-Fi Audio and 360 Audio with Direct Multi Channel support. There is even support for multiple audio codes like the SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec) HiFi, SSC UHQ (Samsung Proprietary), AAC, and SBC.

The Buds 3 Pro has a larger 53mAh battery pack in the earbuds, while the Buds 3 has a 48mAh cell. The charging case houses a 515mAh battery. You can pair the duo via Bluetooth 5.4, which supports Auto Switch as well. Despite the changes in design, the Galaxy Buds 3 still offers ANC functionality (Active Noise Cancellation) and equips a total of 3 Mics + VPU (Voice Pickup Unit) to identify the surrounding sound and automatically adjust the optimal level of noise and sound. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro also has similar features but with an Ambient sound and Voice Detect for an even better listening experience.

So which one should you buy?

I actually support Samsung’s decision to make the vanilla and Pro options more distinct. There are plenty of people who still prefer the semi in-ear design. Not a lot of premium options of this kind exist, so it’s welcomed that we finally have an offering from Samsung as well. The company is selling the Galaxy Buds 3 for Rs 14,999, while the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is priced at 19,999 INR. So if you prefer the semi in-ear design, then the Galaxy Buds 3 is a great pair for you. But if you want Samsung’s best earbuds and have money to spend, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro can rival even the AirPods Pro.

Samsung launched the redesigned Galaxy Buds 3 series at the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10 along with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Z Flip 6, and the Galaxy Watch 7 series.

The Galaxy Buds 3 series includes two different models with a slightly different design and price tag – the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro. Let’s discuss the new earphones one by one.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3

The standard Galaxy Buds 3 comes with an open-type design and has a one-way 11mm dynamic driver. The dimension of the product is 18.1 x 20.4 x 31.9 mm. Speaking of weight, the earbuds and the charging case is 4.7 g and 46.5 g respectively.

As expected, the Buds 3 offers ANC functionality (Active Noise Cancellation) and equips a total of 3 Mics + VPU (Voice Pickup Unit) to identify the surrounding sound and automatically adjust the optimal level of noise and sound.

This pair of earbuds supports 24bit Hi-Fi audio and 360 Audio with Direct Multi-Channel.

Codec) HiFi, SSC UHQ (Samsung Proprietary), AAC, SBC. Speaking of ingress protection, the product is IP57 dust and water-resistant.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro

A lot of the aspects are common between the Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro. However, the Buds 3 Pro comes with an in-ear type design and offers better audio quality with a 10.5mm Dynamic driver and an additional 6.1mm planar.

The earbuds are slightly heavier at 5.4g while the charging case weighs the same as the standard model. Buds 3 Pro packs a larger 53mAh battery. Speaking of ANC, the Buds 3 Pro also offers Ambient sound and Voice Detect for an even better listening experience. As you can see from the image, the Pro model also packs LED strips to inform you about the charging state and more.

Samsung is expected to unveil its latest generation of wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, next week. Ahead of this, a new leak has surfaced, revealing the pricing for these earbuds in the South Korean market.

According to a screenshot shared by tipster Sleep Kuma of a retail listing, the pricing for the Galaxy Buds 3 lineup is expected to remain consistent with previous models.

The leak suggests that the Galaxy Buds 3 will be priced at KRW 203,700 (roughly USD $148), and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will cost KRW 296,700 (approximately USD $215). These prices are similar to the launch prices of the Galaxy Buds 2 and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

The leak also sheds light on the model numbers and designs of the upcoming earbuds. The Galaxy Buds 3, available in black and white, carries the model number SM-R530. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, shown in white, has the model number SM-R630.

Samsung seems to have significantly redesigned the new earbuds compared to the previous generation. Both models now feature stems, similar to Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro.

There are also rumors that the Galaxy Buds 3 series will support a higher-quality wireless codec, capable of 24-bit 96KHz audio transmission. Additionally, the buds are expected to feature Adaptive ANC, Adaptive Equalizer, and Ambient Sound, and will likely use Bluetooth 5.4 for audio transmission.

With active noise cancellation (ANC) on, the base Galaxy Buds 3 is expected to offer up to five hours of playback time, and up to six hours with ANC off.

The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro may offer up to six hours of battery life with ANC on and up to seven hours with ANC off. Both models will also have an IP57 rating for protection against dust and water splashes.

Samsung is about to launch the Galaxy Buds 3 series along with some other new products including the sixth generation Galaxy foldables in its Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 10. Ahead of the event, the new design of the Galaxy Buds 3 series earphones has already appeared online. But is the shift from the bean-shaped design to the one with a stem is just for a revamped look or it has to do something with the audio quality of the earphones?

Well, tipster Ice Universe hints that the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will offer significant improvements to the listening experience alongside the new look. He claims that the TWS earphone will support 24-bit 96Hz audio, which might be a valuable improvement for audiophiles. For those unfamiliar, the numbers promise higher-quality audio with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is rumored to support 24-bit 96Hz audio

For reference, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro supports 24-bit 48KHz audio transmission. The Buds 3 Pro should allow Samsung devices to transmit near-lossless audio and offer an improved listening experience in certain scenarios. Nonetheless, it is important to note that the codec will likely be limited to Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro introduced the SSC Hi-Fi audio codec. We will have to see if Samsung renames the audio codec for the successor or keeps it unchanged.

Speaking of the design, the Pro model comes with a distinctive triangular stem and an LED strip on it, which makes it stand out from all other TWS earphones with the stem design. A previous rumor claims that the Buds 3 Pro might offer a 30-hour battery and new gestures. It will also likely support Adaptive ANC, Adaptive Equalizer, and Ambient Sound, and will likely use Bluetooth 5.4 for the audio transmission.

Samsung will launch a bunch of new products at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 10. One of the products will be the Galaxy Buds 3 series earphones. However, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro‘s real-life images have already surfaced on the internet thanks to a new leak. Not to mention, the images have revealed the design of the new product ahead of its launch. You can check out the images below.

Despite adopting the stem design, the earbuds stands out in design

The images came from Reddit user Plastic_Development1. In one of the images, you will see that the earphone supports Samsung’s fast pairing functionality which notes the product as Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

The real-life images confirm that the previous rumor regarding the major design shift is true. The product now comes with a more familiar stem design. However, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro distinguishes itself in several ways. Firstly, the stem comes with a unique triangular shape. Secondly, the stem also has an LED light strip. However, it depends on the users whether they will like such LED strips in their earbuds or not.

Unlike the Galaxy Buds 3 which comes in white, the Pro model comes in a silver color and offers a more premium look. The charging case also includes two internal LEDs. Although the material of the outer surface of both the earbuds and their charging case is unknown, it looks like metal.

The Reddit user who posted the images has also shared his first-hand experience with the new product. He says that noise cancellation of the Buds 3 Pro is on par with the first-generation AirPods Pro. Reportedly the sound is a little higher on the bass.

Since the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro is seen using Samsung’s fast pairing system, the company might forgo Google’s Fast Pair functionality for this device. However, it’s theoretically possible for both systems to work together. Supporting both fast pairing functions might cause conflicts on Samsung devices that can utilize both. We will have to wait until July 10 to see what Samsung has decided for this new product.

Previously there were rumors that Samsung has opted for an “AirPods-like” design language for its upcoming Galaxy Buds 3 series TWS earphones. Samsung is about to launch the new product at the Galaxy Unpacked event next week. However, real-life images of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have already been revealed thanks to X tipster Roland Quandt. You can check out the design from the images below.

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro comes with a stem that is longer than the AirPods

As you can see, the new earphone from Samsung has ditched its traditional bean-shaped design for one with a long stem. The stem seems to be considerably longer than that of the AirPods Pro 2.

A Korean source speculated that this design change is due to the need for more internal volume, which lets the company increase the battery capacity and even fit more components inside. Previous reports also hint that the Galaxy Buds 3 series will be able to utilize some of the capabilities of Galaxy AI. The addition of new features could be a reason behind the design change that possibly allows the company to fit more or more capable components inside the earbuds.

An image of the base Galaxy Buds 3 (along with the charging case) leaked last month. These buds feature a stem-like design, but the stem appears slightly shorter than that of the Pro model. The standard version was shown in silver, revealing a unique angular design for the stem. For the Pro model, only parts of the design are visible, and upon closer inspection, it doesn’t seem like the stem is rounded either.

Nonetheless, these are leaked images and could represent one of the designs Samsung experimented with. Therefore, we may or may not see this exact design when Samsung officially reveals the product next week.

The post Galaxy Buds 3 Pro real-life image revealed thanks to a new leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung has a lot in store for next month – new foldable, smartwatches, a smart ring, earbuds, and maybe more. We’ve already seen renders of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6, and now it’s time to turn our attention to the upcoming Galaxy Watch lineup and Galaxy Buds.

Evan Blass, a reputable source for tech leaks, has shared the official marketing images of the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 7, Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and standard Galaxy Buds 3.

The centerpiece of the leak is undoubtedly the Galaxy Watch Ultra, Samsung’s first Ultra smartwatch. It can be seen with a rugged orange band tucked in its unique square case with a circular display nestled on top. 

Interestingly, the proprietary band connection system looks eerily similar to the Apple Watch. Samsung has long favored spring pin bands for its smartwatches, which offer wider compatibility with third-party straps. However, it appears that Samsung is now aiming to make its new Ultra watch more akin to the Apple Watch in this regard.

The leak also offers a look at the standard Galaxy Watch 7. It retains the design of its predecessor, the Watch 6, and has a green band.

Shifting the focus to audio, Blass dropped images of the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.  Both models sport a sleek, stemmed design like the Apple AirPods. 

Although the buds have a sharper edge compared to Apple’s AirPods, there’s a clear resemblance, especially noticeable with the white Galaxy Buds 3. Notably, this model will come without silicone tips.

The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro stands out with its dark gray finish and a transparent case lid. The Pro model will retain the comfortable silicone tips from earlier Galaxy Buds models.

With the Unpacked event just around the corner, anticipation is building for the official unveiling of these wearables and earbuds. Rumors also hint at the debut of the first-ever Galaxy Ring at the event. We’ll be sure to keep you updated as more details emerge.

The post Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 7, and Buds 3 series leaks in more official-looking images appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung‘s next major event, Galaxy Unpacked, is expected to take place on July 10th, 2024. While the focus is likely to be on new foldable phones, the event will also see the launch of the next-generation Galaxy Watch series, including the Galaxy Watch7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra.

Now a retail listing from a European e-commerce site (spotted by YTECB) has revealed the pricing and color options for these upcoming wearables.

So the Galaxy Watch Ultra is expected to come in three different color options — Titanium Gray, Titanium White, and Titanium Silver — and will carry a price tag of around €689 – €699 for the LTE variant. However, the report suggests these listings might include some introductory discounts, so the final retail price of the smartwatch could be slightly higher.

It’s also worth noting that Samsung’s first Ultra smartwatch will reportedly be available only in an LTE variant and in a 47mm size. This size is just slightly larger than the largest Galaxy Watch6 Classic, which is a 46mm smartwatch.

Moving on, the Galaxy Watch7 is also said to be available in three shades — Green, Silver, and Cream. Pricing will start at €319 for the 40mm Bluetooth variant and €349 for the 44mm Bluetooth variant. 

There are no listings for LTE versions yet. However, since the Bluetooth models of the Watch 7 have the same price points as the Galaxy Watch6, the LTE variants might also be similarly priced.

In addition to the smartwatches, the report also includes pricing for the upcoming Galaxy Buds3 and Buds3 Pro. The Galaxy Buds3 is expected to be priced at €229, while the Buds3 Pro will carry a price tag of €319. Both models are rumored to come in Silver and White color options.

The post Premature listing reveals price of Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 7, and Buds 3 series appeared first on Gizmochina.

We have seen multiple rumors about the Galaxy Buds 3 at this point. The earbuds will ditch the bean-shaped design with a more conventional one with a stem. The latest news is that the earphones will also come with some changes in functionality, To be more precise, the swipe gesture will reportedly be replaced with a pinch. However, it is unclear whether the pinch gesture will be available to both the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro or will be exclusive to the Pro model.

The information comes from the Samsung Members app

Notably, the pinch gesture isn’t entirely new to the product category. In fact, Apple, Nothing, Xiaomi, and several other companies have already used pinch sensors in their products.

The information is revealed through the APK teardown of the Samsung Members app, which suggests the use of pinch sensors in the Galaxy Buds 3 series. AssembleDebug discovered references to pinch sensors in the Samsung Members app version 5.0.00.11. It also includes images showing how to use the gesture.

It’s not clear from the APK teardown how Samsung may utilize the new sensor. However, the brands that have previously offered the pinch sensor, have used it for basic controls like pinching once to pause, pinching twice to skip, and thrice to go back. The earbuds from Xiaomi, Apple, or Nothing also let you enable or disable noise cancellation and transparency modes with pinch gestures.

It’s possible that Samsung will offer a similar implementation of the pinch gestures in the upcoming Galaxy Buds 3 series. Samsung’s shift in functionality could be due to the fact that a pinch gesture feels more natural to use and has a lower rate of false triggers.

However, the leaked real-life images of the Galaxy Buds 3 packaging box reveal a rather underwhelming design. it could be especially disappointing for those familiar with the previous design.

The post Galaxy Buds 3 could ditch the swipe gestures for pinches appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is set to update its audio lineup with the introduction of the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, expected to launch at the upcoming Unpacked event alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro recently emerged in a leak, revealing its design change. Now, a recent certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) confirms that these new models will soon be available in India, following their global release.

The devices, with model numbers SM-R630 for the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and SM-R530 for the Galaxy Buds 3, have appeared on the BIS certification list. Although the listing provides no specific details about the features or specifications, it indicates an imminent Indian launch.

Samsung is reportedly abandoning the previous bean-shaped design in favor of a stem design, aligning the new Buds more closely with competitors like Apple’s AirPods and OnePlus Buds. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will feature a dual-driver design and support for Bluetooth 5.4, improving audio performance. It will also come with an IP57 rating for resistance to water and dust, and it is expected to offer up to 30 hours of battery life.

Details about the Galaxy Buds 3 series will likely emerge as the product appears on more certification websites. Let’s take a look at the specs and features of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro to get an idea of what we can expect from its successor.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro specs:

The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro features silicone ear tips for a secure fit and effective noise isolation. These earbuds are equipped with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient noise by up to 33dB and a transparency mode. They support Bluetooth 5.3 and are IPX7-rated for water resistance.

Featuring 10mm drivers and 24-bit Hi-Fi sound, the Buds 2 Pro offers clear and rich audio. They also support 360-degree audio and Dolby Head Tracking for a more immersive listening experience. Three microphones (two external, one internal) help ensure clear calls and reduce background noise.

The Voice Detect feature switches the earbuds from ANC to Ambient Mode when you start talking to someone. Samsung claims the earbuds can last up to 8 hours on a single charge without ANC, and up to 29 hours total with the charging case. They support USB-C and wireless charging, providing about 55 minutes of listening time with a five-minute charge.

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.

The post Galaxy Buds 3 Pro to ditch classic bean-shaped design, render confirms appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is rumored to offer a major redesign to the Galaxy Buds’ “kidney bean” shape with the upcoming Galaxy Buds 3 series. According to reports from a Korean publication, a stem will be added to the design, that will make it longer and look something like the bean is sprouting.

While the description above is still kind of vague and there isn’t any image of a prototype available, the addition of a stem suggests a similarity in design to Apple‘s AirPods.

Possible advantages of the longer design:

Samsung has been offering the same design since the beginning and call quality with it is considered to be inferior due to the mic not pointing directly towards the source of sound. Adding a stem like the AirPods could make it easier for Samsung to improve the aspect.

Additionally, the speculated design could also offer more room for internal components. The extra space can either be used to pack a larger battery for a higher single-session battery life or to add additional equipments that are necessary for AI-related features.

The company added its interpretation feature to the Galaxy Buds earlier this year with an update. Samsung could be planning to add more AI-related features to its earphones that may require additional hardware resources.

For those unaware, the Galaxy Buds 2 already houses several sensors including gyro that enable head movement tracking and notify users when they keep their head down for more than 10 minutes. It can help prevent neck and back pain. However, there aren’t any health tracking features as of now, where the company is actually focusing on the aspect and working on a dedicated device, the Galaxy Ring, just for the purpose. It won’t be shocking if Samsung adds some similar functionality to its upcoming audio product, which will surely benefit from an increased internal volume.

However, the Galaxy Buds 2 and Buds 2 Pro earbuds already weigh 5.0g and 5.5g respectively, which is relatively heavier than many, and adding more hardware resources may make it even heavier. Nonetheless, Samsung will likely reveal whatever they’re doing with the Buds 3 series in the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 10.

Samsung is getting ready to unveil its next gen flagship TWS earbuds soon. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro was just spotted on a major certification platform, which hints at its imminent launch. The earbuds would likely offer notable specs and features, so let’s check it out.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro spotted on FCC

The South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro visited the FCC database (via 91Mobiles) carrying the SM-R630 model number. Looking at the certification, the upcoming earbuds will be manufactured by Samsung in South Korea. It will run on the software version R630.001. While finer details are still at large, the listing confirmed support for Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE (Low Energy).

In a previous report, the successors of the Galaxy Buds 2 series are currently in development and are rumored to launch within this year. Furthermore, the base Galaxy Buds 3 was seen with the SM-R530 model number. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Buds FE in October of last year. But now, the premium audio lineup may be right around the corner. Based on another certification, the Buds 3 Pro is expected to be powered by a 500mAh battery pack, which is the same as last gen the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

The brand has yet to officially confirm the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. But it should come with improvements in noise cancellation and audio quality. The new Galaxy Buds 3 Pro could debut alongside the upcoming foldable smartphones. So it may arrive with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in July or August 2024. This is still just speculation at this point, so take this news with a pinch of salt for now.

Samsung is reportedly working on two new TWS earphones. These are the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. They are expected to arrive as the successors to the Galaxy Buds 2 and 2 Pro that debuted back in 2021 and 2022 respectively. As per a past report, the Galaxy Buds 3 duo are rumored to arrive later this year. Now, as per a new development, the upcoming TWS earphones from the South Korean brand have been spotted with model numbers. 

Samsung is working on the Galaxy Buds 3 duo

Galaxyclub reports that Samsung is regularly working on the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro. These carry model numbers SM-R630 and SM-R530 respectively. The publication says that the South Korean brand is working on firmware for both models. Additionally, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro’s battery for the charging case was spotted on a certification website but it did not reveal any concrete details. 

The report does not mention any more information on the Galaxy Buds 3 duo. Any additional details about the upcoming TWS earphones from the South Korean brand have also not leaked yet. Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds FE in October last year. They remain the latest TWS offering in the brand’s audio portfolio meaning the other models have become quite old. Hence, the next-generation Buds 3 have become quite due.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and 3 Pro are widely expected to launch at the Galaxy Unpacked event later in July or August this year. The event also focuses on the new foldables, smartwatches, and tablets. In other news, Samsung recently started rolling out new features for the Galaxy Buds 2 duo and the Buds FE.

Samsung has different lineups of wireless earbuds. However, unlike other Android OEMs, the company doesn’t release new models very often. But it still launches more TWS products than Apple.

Recently, the firm debuted Galaxy Buds FE as its latest offering. It is the brand’s most affordable earbuds at launch and the only one released this year.

According to a report, the company’s next TWS will launch in 2024. Let’s go through the details.

SamMobile says that Samsung will launch the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in 2024. As the name suggests, these upcoming earbuds will be the successor of Galaxy Buds 2 Pro from 2022.

The third-gen pro-grade wireless earbuds from Samsung are expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. So they should go official by July or August next year.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this product, except that it exists and will be released in less than a year from now. We are looking forward to learning more about it via leaks in the coming months.

The current-gen Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are one of the best wireless earbuds on the market despite being older than a year. If you want the best Samsung ecosystem experience, these are the ones to get, followed by Galaxy Buds 2 from 2021.

On the other hand, the latest Galaxy Buds FE also offer several features from the aforementioned more premium models. But they are still not as good as their bigger siblings, which can be purchased at around the same price as these.
