Samsung is reported to launch the Galaxy S21 series earlier than its predecessors. The company’s latest flagship smartphones are expected to release in mid-January 2021. Now, according to a new leak, they will be accompanied by a newer Galaxy Buds model.

The world’s largest smartphone maker launched the first-ever Galaxy Buds alongside the Galaxy S10 series in early 2019. Its successor Galaxy Buds+ was unveiled a year later in 2020 along with the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy Z Flip. 

A few months back, the company even introduced one of a kind truly wireless earphones called Galaxy Buds Live at the Galaxy Note20 series launch event. Now, as per SamMobile, Samsung will be launching another new model in the ever-growing Galaxy Buds series alongside the upcoming Galaxy S21 series.

According to the report, the next Galaxy Buds TWS will come with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) just like the Galaxy Buds Live. But unlike the latter, which has a peculiar bean-shaped design, the newer model will inherit the basic in-ear design from the other two models.

Also, these earbuds are said to come with improved ‘Ambient Mode’. For those unaware, this feature enables users to listen to the noise coming from their surroundings. Hence, they can be aware of their whereabouts when they are in the streets or similar places.

Having said that, the exact branding of these earbuds is still a mystery. However, it is worth noting that Samsung recently trademarked a branding called ‘Buds Beyond’. Hence, it might end up with this name or something else.

Further, another report from earlier this month said that the South Korean tech giant may bundle this audio accessory with the Galaxy S21 series. Additionally, a recent report suggested that the production of this TWS codenamed ‘Attic’ will commence from December.

That said, we expect to learn more about this product in the coming days ahead of its official announcement.

It has become a norm for manufacturers to include pre-order gifts for their flagship phones. The pre-order gifts sometimes vary from country to country but it is usually always worth it. For a few years now, Samsung has included its Galaxy Buds earbuds as pre-order gifts for its flagship phones but news from Korea says it may become a standard accessory included in the box for all purchases, starting with the Galaxy S21 series.

According to the Korean publication, TopDaily, Samsung is considering removing accessories included in the box such as the AKG wired USB-C earphones to lower prices.

However, the lack of earphones will result in buyers having to purchase their own earbuds/earphones, and there is a high chance they will not purchase one made by Samsung. The source says an industry insider has revealed that Samsung is planning to include wireless earphones in the box, and this is presumed to be its upcoming earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Beyond.

The decision to include wireless earbuds in the box is supposed to help Samsung increase its share of the wireless earbuds’ market which is currently dominated by Apple. Another option Samsung is considering if it removes the wired earbuds is to provide discount vouchers for buyers.

The Galaxy Buds Beyond is expected to bring significant upgrades over its predecessors such as a higher IP rating, better sounds, and an improved battery life. The Galaxy Buds Live launched for $169 but is currently sold for $139. We don’t know how much the new Galaxy Buds Beyond will sell for but having it included free of charge in the box for all Galaxy S21 purchases sounds enticing.
