Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds Pro alongside the Galaxy S21 series in early 2021. The premium truly wireless earphones from the company were introduced at ₹15,990 in India. A little over a year after its release, the audio accessory is now available at a whopping 61% discount in the country.

Samsung has listed the Galaxy Buds Pro at only ₹6,990 on its website as well as on Amazon in India. Additionally, the American eCommerce giant is offering an instant 10% discount on multiple cards. Hence, the effective price of the high-end Samsung TWS comes down to ₹6,291.

The flat 10% discount (₹699 off) is available on transactions via credit cards issued by ICICI Bank, RBL Bank, and Kotak Bank. At the same time, a ₹500 discount is also available on Kotak Bank debit card transactions.

This offer is applicable to all three colors, such as Black, Silver, and Violet. Most importantly, this is the lowest price for Galaxy Buds Pro to date in India. Hence, if you were planning to buy this product, then now is the right time to make your move.

Being a high-end offering, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro (review) comes with almost all the features one could ask for.

The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro released last year came with a feature similar to Apple’s Spatial Audio tech, allowing audio to respond to head movements. Called 360 Audio, the feature is now coming to the more recently launched Galaxy Buds2 with an update.

The firmware update R177XXU0AVC8 is sized 3MB and is currently rolling out to the Galaxy Buds2 with its changelog mentioning the 360 Audio feature along with call quality and Bluetooth stability improvements (via GSMArena).

However, there’s a difference compared to Spatial Audio — 360 Audio is intended to work with audio from most apps and simply shifts the positioning of audio channels based on your head movements. Spatial Audio, on the other hand, is designed to work only with audio content that’s built for 360 degrees.

Being a more recent release means the Galaxy Buds2 hasn’t received many updates. One of the more notable improvements arrived right after the earbuds’ launch, allowing the Buds2 to work with Samsung’s Galaxy Buds app for Windows.

If you haven’t yet received firmware update R177XXU0AVC8, then try pairing your Galaxy Buds2, launching the Galaxy Wearable app, selecting Earbuds settings, and tapping Earbuds software update.

Aside from the Galaxy Buds2, the Galaxy Buds Live have also been treated to the same feature with update R180XXU0AVC2.

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.

Galaxy Buds Pro is Samsung’s latest flagship TWS product. This pair of truly wireless earphones was unveiled alongside the Galaxy S21 series earlier this year.

Samsung has started rolling out a new firmware update for the Galaxy Buds Pro worldwide. The new update arrives with firmware version R190XXUA0UH5. In order to download and install this update, users need to be on the latest version of Galaxy Buds Pro plugin app and Galaxy Wearable app.

According to the official changelog, the latest firmware update adds ‘Ambient Sound’ support for calls and an option to customize ‘Ambient Sound’. Additionally, the update also brings support for ANC using a single earbud and a new ‘Noise Control’ feature.

The new firmware update for the Galaxy Buds Pro is said to be rolled out in batches across the globe. Hence, some users might receive it earlier, while others will have to wait a little bit longer.

Having said that, the newly released Galaxy Buds2 offers almost all the features of the Galaxy Buds Pro at a cheaper price tag. But it does not come with certain features like 360 Audio and ‘Intelligent ANC’. The latter feature enables automatic switching between ANC and ambient mode based on environment.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+ wireless earbuds is getting a new firmware update. And as Tizenhelp reports, the update adds multiple features of the Galaxy Buds Pro TWS to the yesteryear Buds+. 

The Samsung Galaxy Buds+ is getting the update with firmware version R175XXU0AUB3. Weighing about 1.4MB in size, the update brings the following features to the Galaxy Buds+:

Changelog:

• Auto Switching
• Buds control menu is added to the Bluetooth setting
• improved system stability and readability.

As you can see above, the star feature of the changelog is the ‘Auto Switching’. As the name suggests, this feature will enable intelligent switching across devices with respect to the scenarios.

However, do note that it works well only with Galaxy ecosystem products. The Galaxy Buds Pro had this feature at launch and it is appreciable that Samsung is bringing it to the older Galaxy Buds+ wireless earbuds. Also, the feature is said to currently support only the devices running One UI 3.1 version.

This is not the first earbuds that are getting a feature from the latest ones. Recently, Samsung has updated the Galaxy Buds Live and its firmware version is R180XXU0AUB5  and weighs about 2MB.

Coming back, apart from the Auto Switching, the Galaxy Buds+ is also getting a Buds menu control on the Bluetooth settings. As a result of this, users can now control its options right from the settings menu and not wanting to peek at the Galaxy wearable app every time.

It’s also worth noting that the Galaxy Buds+ doesn’t get the hearing aid functionality that the Buds Live got along with the Auto Switching. To delve into these features, you will have to update the Galaxy Buds+ to the latest firmware mentioned above.

The post After Galaxy Buds Live, Samsung Galaxy Buds+ TWS gets the ‘Auto Switching’ via Firmware update appeared first on Gizmochina.

When Samsung launched the S21 series this year, it also launched a new noise-canceling earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro. After using these earbuds for nearly two weeks, I have come to the conclusion that they are the biggest surprise from Samsung in the first half of 2021. If you want to know my verdict, then I can tell you this right now — the Galaxy Buds Pro is one of the best all-round noise-canceling TWS earbuds you can buy in the Android market! 

Before I expand on why the Galaxy Buds Pro is so good, let’s first talk about some of its shortcomings.

Galaxy Buds Pro Review: Drawbacks

The first thing I’d like to point out is that the lid of the earbuds’ case is quite loose and you can shake it with your hand. It doesn’t seem sturdy enough. This shouldn’t be the case for earbuds in its price range. 

Secondly, if you want to buy a TWS for gaming and you are not a Samsung phone user, it’s not recommended to buy it. Because it has quite a bit of a sound delay. But apart from these two issues, the new Samsung earbuds have practically no other disadvantages.

Yes, the Galaxy Buds pro is such a well-balanced TWS that it’s hard for me to pick out its flaws. 

So Let’s start with its design and the fit. 

Galaxy Buds Pro Review: Design & Fit

I don’t have to remind you how similar most earbuds from Android phone manufacturers are these days. So the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro wins in the appearance department over a bunch of Airpods Pro imitators.

The case is also very compact and very handy to tuck in your pocket. We got the Buds Pro in silver, and the metallic colour finish feels very nice. It’s understated with a bit of flair. The wearing style is the same as other Galaxy Buds. You have to insert the buds into the ear and then rotate it to fit securely. Stability and comfort are also great, and they don’t fall out as easily as some earbuds, say the Xiaomi Air 2 Pro for example. All in all, you don’t need to worry about Samsung’s efforts in terms of design and wearing comfort.

Galaxy Buds Pro Review: Noise Canceling Performance & Sound Quality

The noise-canceling performance of the Galaxy buds pro is even better. It has one of the strongest noise cancellation experiences of any earbuds we’ve tested. It is similar to Huawei’s Freebuds Pro. But unlike Huawei’s earbuds, it doesn’t automatically adjust the noise cancellation level. However, the Galaxy Buds Pro has a lower ear pressure than the Freebuds Pro. So it’s not uncomfortable even if the noise cancellation is set to the strongest setting. 

And it has a special feature. It automatically detects when you are speaking and switches to the ambient mode and lowers the volume. This allows you to talk to a person without having to take off your headphones. However, this function is not triggered when the other person is speaking. So if the other person speaks to you first, the first few words will often be inaudible. Other than that, it works fine. It also works on non-Samsung phones. The probability of it being triggered by mistake is also very low. So it’s a feature that can be always turned on when you are wearing the buds.

Although the Galaxy buds Pro’s Bluetooth audio decoding is AAC-only, with AKG tuning and its own experience, the Galaxy Buds Pro’s sound quality is very good. It’s in the top tier segment of the TWS market. There is no need to worry about latency either. Video platforms will synchronize audio and video through algorithms, while games can reduce latency by enabling game mode. With gaming mode on, the experience is almost identical to that of the AirPods Pro, with almost negligible latency. But as I said at the beginning, there is no game mode for non-Samsung phones. So the latency is high enough to affect your gaming experience. 

360 audio is also an interesting feature. It’s similar to the Airpods pro with spatial audio. It adds a sense of immersion while watching movies. But the actual experience effect is not so obvious. You need to be very attentive to notice the difference. Of course, this is a feature exclusive to Samsung phone users.

What surprised me most wasn’t the features that Samsung advertised at launch. Rather, it was the ease of switching between multiple devices. Many TWS can only be matched one-to-one. If you want to switch device audio, you need to re-connect, which is a pain. The Samsung Galaxy buds pro only requires you to click on a device that has been successfully matched before and the audio will switch to that device. And there is no limit as to the brand model or the number of devices. It doesn’t matter if you have a Xiaomi phone or a HUAWEI phone, or a PC with windows, you can switch with one click. If you have a multi-device scenario, you’ll know how great this switching experience is. This is the main reason why I liked the Galaxy Buds Pro so much.

Galaxy Buds Pro Review: Battery Life

While the Galaxy buds pro may not be the strongest in every category, it performs well enough in every single one of them. And personally, for me, this makes the Galaxy Buds Pro, the best TWS in the Android camp. 

Do you think there is a better noise-canceling TWS headset than this? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section. We’ll try to buy it and review it for you.

The post Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro Review: Fantastic all-round ANC Earbuds for Android appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro is arguably one of the best true wireless earbuds you can buy right now. Following its release, Samsung has been tweaking the earbuds with updates. A new update is being pushed out and it is its second this month.

As seen on SamMobile, the 2.20MB update which comes as version R190XXU0AUB3 brings improvements to Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Ambient Sound features. Below is the full changelog:

• The operating concept has been changed when the user wears one earbud
• Improved Ambient sound function
• Improved system stability and reliability

This second update, like the one released last week, also improves the ANC feature. We would love to know if owners who have received the updates have noticed a significant improvement.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro which is priced at $199 succeeds the Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds Live which were released last year. It has an intelligent ANC mode that allows you to adjust the level based on your environment and also automatically switches ambient mode when it picks up your voice in a conversation.

The earbuds also have Dolby Head Tracking technology which brings a 360° immersive audio experience when watching a (supported) video or movie. Sensors built into the earbuds will locate the direction of the sound as the user moves his/her head.

The Galaxy Buds Pro has an IPX7 water-resistant rating which means you don’t have to worry about it getting damaged with sweat or if it is raining. Samsung says it will survive a dip in 1 meter of freshwater for half an hour and warns against using it at the beach or pool.

Thanks to SmartThings, users will also be able to find their lost earbuds. There is also Offline Finding that shows the last location you used the earbuds so you can know where to look.

The Galaxy Buds Pro’s battery life is 8 hours (5 hours with ANC turned on) and it goes up to 28 hours with the case. It supports charging via USB-C and via Qi wireless charging.

The post Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro gets yet another update that improves Active Noise Cancellation appeared first on Gizmochina.

Alongside the Galaxy S21 series, Samsung also launched a new pair of TWS earbuds called the Galaxy Buds Pro. The earbuds, which are less than a week old, have begun to receive an update that brings improvements and a new and important feature.

The update arrives as version R190XXU0AUA1, and is super small, coming in at just 2.20 MB. The changelog says that the update brings a hearing enhancements feature in addition to sound balance adjustments to the two earbuds. Below is the full changelog:

• Implemented Hearing enhancements feature
• Left/Right sound balance adjustment
• Improved Bixby voice wake-up response
• Improved system stability and reliability

The hearing enhancement feature and sound balance adjustment should allow users with hearing impairment to use the earbuds as a sort of hearing aid reports SamMobile.

The Galaxy Buds Pro is priced at $199.99. It has intelligent active noise cancellation which kicks in when it detects your voice, switching automatically from ANC to ambient sound when you are having a conversation.

The earbuds also have Dolby Head Tracking which provides a 360-degree audio experience when watching a movie or TV show. You will be able to experience the direction of the sound as you move your head. Another cool feature is Auto Switch which automatically switches the connection between devices based on the scenario. For example, when watching a movie on your Galaxy Tab and you receive a call on your Galaxy phone, the earbuds will pause playback and switch to the phone for the call, and switch back to the tab when the call ends.

The Galaxy Buds Pro has a battery life of 8 hours on a single charge (28 hours with case). It goes down to 5 hours if you have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) turned on. It also supports fast charging – charging for five minutes will provide one hour of playback time. The case supports both wired charging via USB-C and Qi wireless charging.

Samsung has also made it easy to find when you lose them. Using the SmartThings app, the earbuds will emit a beep so you know where you put them. There is also Offline Finding which will tell you the last location the earbuds were used even if they are no longer connected to your device. Do note that some of these features are only available on Galaxy devices running a certain software version.

After numerous leaks, Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy Buds Pro TWS at the first-ever Galaxy Unpacked event of 2021. The main star of this event was the Galaxy S21 series, which we have covered separately for Galaxy S21/Galaxy S21+ and Galaxy S21 Ultra respectively. But here in this article, let us take a look at the specs, features, price, and availability of the Galaxy Buds Pro instead. Before we begin, we would like to remind you to read about Galaxy SmartTag and Galaxy SmartTag+, which were also announced at this event.

Galaxy Buds Pro Specifications and Features

The Galaxy Buds Pro is the most premium truly wireless earphones offering from Samsung in terms of features as well as price. The design of the new buds is inspired by the Galaxy Buds+ as well as Galaxy Buds Live, and they come in three colors, namely Phantom Black, Phantom Silver, and Phantom Violet respectively.

As per the company, these IPX7-certified in-ear style buds feature an 11mm woofer for deeper bass and a 6.5mm tweeter for a crisp treble with minimum distortion. Further, they have 3 microphones, one on the inside and two on the outside. They also come with all the essential sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity, hall, touch, and Voice Pickup Unit (VPU).

Thanks to these sensors and microphones, the Galaxy Buds Pro not only supports ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and Ambient Sound but also 360 Audio powered by Dolby Head Tracking technology (similar to Spatial Audio on Apple AirPods Pro). The firm claims that the buds can reduce the background noise by up to 99% when ANC is turned on. It also says that these earbuds can amplify nearby sounds by more than 20 decibels when the Ambient Sound mode is activated. Interestingly, the buds are also capable of switching between these modes automatically based on the user’s environment.

Another noteworthy feature is Auto Switch, which works with Galaxy ecosystem products. As the name suggests, it switches between Galaxy products on its own depending on the situation. For example, you are watching a movie on your Galaxy Tab S7 with the Galaxy Buds Pro, and then a call arrives on your Galaxy S21. At this moment, the movie playback will pause and the buds will be connected with your phone to attend the call. Similarly, when you are done with the call, the earbuds will automatically reconnect to your tablet and resumes the movie.

Despite packing these many features, Samsung claims 5-hour battery life with ANC on and up to 8 hours without ANC. With the charging case, these numbers increase to 18 hours and 28 hours respectively. As for battery capacity, the buds include a 61mAh unit each, and the case that charges via USB Type-C and Qi wireless charging sport a 472mAh cell. 

Lastly, the SmartThings Find app locatable earbuds connect via Bluetooth 5.0, support SBC, AAC, and scalable (Samsung proprietary) codecs, measure 19.5 x 20.5 x 20.8mm in dimensions, and weigh 6.3g. Whereas, the charging case weighs 44.9g and measures 50 x 50.2 x 27.8mm in dimensions.

Galaxy Buds Pro Pricing and Availability

The Galaxy Buds Pro is priced at $199.99 in the US, €229.99 in Europe, £219 in the UK. It will be available in select markets starting tomorrow (January 15) itself.

Samsung is rumored to launch its Galaxy S21-series flagship smartphones at a launch event on 14th January. At the same event, along with the phones, the company is also expected to launch its next-generation TWS earphones — Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro.

While we have seen a few reports related to the upcoming wireless earphones from Samsung, a new set of leaked images have surfaced online, thanks to Twitter user WalkingCat, which reveals some key details.

The leak indicates that the Galaxy Buds Pro will come with a 2-way speaker, similar to the Galaxy Buds Plus. There will also be a more powerful active noise cancellation feature, which the company is calling Intelligent Noise Cancellation.

It is also said to provide users with greater control over the experience. The earphones will reportedly have three modes — Conversation Mode, Ambient Sound Mode, and Active Noise Cancellation Mode, which will also have level controls.

Further, it appears that the TWS earphones will also have Spatial Audio and an IPX7 rating for water resistance. There’s something mentioned about the Galaxy Buds widget for Samsung devices but currently, nothing is known about this.

In the battery department, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are expected to offer eight hours of playback time and 4.5 hours of talk time on a single charge. With the charging case, the talk time can be increased to 15 hours while the playtime can be upped to 28 hours.

As for the pricing, the earphones are expected to be priced at $199 — the most expensive in the lineup. For comparison, the Galaxy Buds Plus and the Galaxy Buds Live are priced at $149 and $169 respectively.

Rumors are rife that Samsung will take off covers from the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphones on Jan. 14. At the same event, the company is also expected to unveil the Galaxy Buds Pro. Some of the specs of the upcoming earbuds were seen in official support page listings that had surfaced last week. A fresh leak by 91mobiles in partnership with Ishan Agarwal has revealed all the important specs of the Galaxy Buds Pro.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro specifications (Rumored)

The Galaxy Buds Pro will be offering 20 precent more battery life than last year’s Galaxy Buds Live. Each earbud may have a 61mAh battery and its case may include a 472h battery. The Buds Pro may offer 28 hours of battery life.

The leak states that the Galaxy Buds Pro has 11mm bass drivers and 6.5mm tweeters coupled with coaxial dual speakers. The Buds Pro will come with Active Noise Cancellation and it will bring 35db noise canceling. It is already known that the earbuds will support multiple levels of ANC.

The leak states the Buds Pro will be equipped with IXP7 water-resistance, dual connection, voice detection, and seamless connection. It is said that the 3D spatial audio with head tracking will be only supported on devices running on One UI 3.0 based Android 11 OS. The Buds Pro is expected to offer other features such as Find My Earbuds, gyro sensors, touch controls, Dolby Atmos, and ambient mode with four-volume settings.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro pricing (Rumored)

According to the leak, the Galaxy Buds Pro will be costing more than the Galaxy Buds Live earbuds. In Europe, the Buds Pro could be priced at 229 euros (~$279). It could be available in Phantom Black and Phantom Silver color options. The earbuds are likely to be made available as bundled pre-orders with the Galaxy S21 models.

Samsung will announce new wireless earbuds alongside the Galaxy S21 series next month. The pair of TWS earbuds will launch as the Galaxy Buds Pro, and early leaks have revealed what it will look like. Now, another leak has stated some key features Samsung’s new earphones will have, one of which Apple already offers on the AirPods.

According to Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24), the Galaxy Buds Pro will have support for “multiple levels of Active Noise Cancellation and Ambient Sound”. What this means is that users will be able to adjust the noise cancellation and ambient sound feature as they wish.

This is similar to a feature the Jabra Elite 85t offers which allows the user to switch between up to 11 different noise cancellation levels rather than having just one – noise cancellation on or off. You will also be able to adjust ambient sound level on the Galaxy Buds, hopefully in a similar way to how the Huawei FreeBuds Studio allows users to switch between two types of its Hear-through Mode.

The leaker doesn’t say if these features will be accessible via the app or can be adjusted using the controls on the earbuds. However, our guess is that you will have to launch the companion Galaxy Wearable app to access these features.

Another feature mentioned is support for automatic switching on of ambient sound mode when the earbuds detect voice. What we believe this means is that the earbuds will turn on Ambient Sound once it detects that the user is speaking (read having a conversation) so the user doesn’t have to pause playback to hear what the other person is saying.

Ishan also mentions that the Galaxy Buds Pro will have a 3D Spatial Audio feature with support for head tracking. A similar feature was announced by Apple for the AirPods Pro a few months ago. The new AirPods Max also has it. The feature provides a theater-like experience when you are watching a video or movie, so it appears as if the sound is coming from all around you rather than from just one direction.

The Spatial Audio feature will only work with content that supports it, so if you are watching a video or movie that doesn’t have it, you won’t be able to experience it even if you have the feature turned on.

The Galaxy Buds Pro will come in three colors – Phantom Silver, Phantom Black, and Violet. Its case will pack a much bigger battery than the last-gen model, so users should get even more battery life with the new earbuds.

Earlier today, Samsung finally confirmed the launch of a new Exynos SoC on January 12. The South Korean giant is expected to unveil the Exynos 2100 flagship SoC in the run-up to the Galaxy S21 series. Alongside the supposed January 14 event, the company will likely unveil the next generation Truly Wireless Earbuds, Galaxy Buds Pro. Amidst a lot of leaks, now, Samsung itself has opened official support pages for the TWS earbuds.

Samsung has opened two official support pages for a product in the UK, and Germany website. Accordingly, the page shows a model number SM-R190. If you recall, a Bluetooth earbud with the same model number on Indonesia Telecom revealed the “Galaxy Buds Pro” branding. Hence, it’s safe to say that the above page(via MSP) indeed belongs to the upcoming Bluetooth earbuds.

Galaxy Buds Pro – Leaked Design

Moving on, another 360°leak by Evan Blass confirms that Galaxy Buds Pro will come in three color variants- Earlier, he revealed two images of Galaxy Buds Pro in Violet and Phantom Silver colors. Today, he has released a 3D render video in Phantom Black. The video shows the squircle case with a ‘Samsung’ logo and ‘Sound by AKG’ caption.

At the front, there is a dot which could be an LED indicator and at the back is the USB-C charging port. Opening it up reveals the earbuds inside which also have an indicator near them. Talking about the buds, they resemble still images with rounded in-ear design and silicone ear tips.

The design is a slight departure from the earlier launched Galaxy Buds+ and Buds Live. A microphone and a grille are visible outside whereas another grille with charging contacts is on the inside.

Galaxy Buds Pro Features(Expected)

Talking about features, an FCC listing reveals that each earbud on the Galaxy Buds Pro will have a 58mAh battery. This is slightly lesser than the Galaxy Buds Live Bluetooth earbuds. That said the large squircle case will have a 472mAh battery courtesy of China’s 3C certification authority.

The earbuds are also expected to come with improved Active Noise Cancellation(ANC), Ambient mode, wireless charging, and more. However, the info regarding the Audio driver unit, supported sound codecs, and price is something we will have to wait till the official launch.

Update: Evan Blass has also shared photos of the Phantom Silver color variant of the Galaxy Buds Pro. The images have been added to the post below.

Beginning last year, Samsung‘s new tradition is to launch its TWS earbuds alongside its new flagship phones. The Galaxy Buds were announced alongside the Galaxy S10 series; the Galaxy Buds+ made its debut with the Galaxy S20 series, and the Galaxy Buds Live launched on the same day as the Galaxy Note20 series. Next year’s Galaxy S21 series will also come with a new pair of TWS earbuds that will launch as the Galaxy Buds Pro.

Ahead of its launch, the popular leaker, Evan Blass (@evleaks) has given us a first look at the new Samsung earphones. The images show the earbuds in violet and Phantom Silver along with a matching case.

With respect to design, Samsung has slightly deviated from the design of the Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds+. The Galaxy Buds Pro still has silicone tips to keep the sounds in but the body is now more rounded. There is a microphone at the top and a grille at the bottom of each earbud.

It has been reported that the new earbuds will feature active noise cancellation, so there is a possibility that the grille is housing more microphones. Samsung has also ditched the pill-shaped case of the previous models for a case similar to that of the bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live. There is an LED in front of the case which should light up when charging it. Just like the case of the Buds Live, this too should support USB-C and wireless charging.

An FCC listing has revealed that the case of the new earbuds packs a 500mAh battery capacity which is significantly larger than the 270mAh battery capacity of the Galaxy Buds+’ case. This means users should be able to get a significant increase in total playback time/talk time.

The Galaxy Buds Pro will launch alongside the Galaxy S21 series which has been reported to arrive in January by some leaks while another report said the phones will not launch until February.

Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy S21 series of smartphones in January 2021. Alongside the flagships, it will likely unveil the new Galaxy Buds Truly Wireless Earbuds succeeding the Buds+. And a recent Indonesian certification confirmed that it will be called Galaxy Buds Pro. Now, it has passed FCC, SGS certifications.

As reported by Tizenhelp, Samsung‘s FCC listing follows the same SM-R190 model number. Along with this, the listing yet again confirms that the next wireless earbuds will indeed darn the “Buds Pro” moniker. Besides, the FCC listing also bottom images of the charging case.

Accordingly, the design reveals a squircle(square shape with rounded corners) shape similar to the Galaxy Buds Live. And it is different from the rectangular design of the Buds+. The cradle(case) has a model number EP-QR190 that also appeared on Korea’s NRRA certification. That said, the design of the earbuds is still a mystery but reports say it will adopt Buds+ “in-ear” design and not the bean-shape of Galaxy Buds Live.

Coming back, as per the report(MSP), the Buds Pro has also received SGS certification. It shows a similar model number SM-R190 but has it listed with a 58mAh battery. This is probably the capacity of each earbuds as the early 3C certification of China hinted at a 472mAh on the charging case. To compare, the Galaxy Buds Live’s charging case has a similar battery capacity but it’s earbuds have 60mAh each.

The Galaxy ‘Buds Pro’ from all these leaks looks to have a similar charging case like the Buds Live but will reportedly have an in-ear design like the older Buds TWS(Buds, Buds+) models. Anyway, we don’t have a lot of info on the earbuds but reports say that it will have ANC(Active Noise Cancellation), improved ‘Ambient Mode’. However, I’m pretty sure that we will be getting more details in the coming days.

Yesterday, a report revealed that Samsung will be releasing a new Galaxy Buds model alongside the Galaxy S21 series. Now, we know that these new pair of truly wireless earphones will be called ‘Galaxy Buds Pro’. The revelation of the branding comes from Indonesia’s telecom certification bureau.

According to the certification (via MySmartPrice), the upcoming Galaxy Buds Pro will come with model number SM-R190. Turns out this very same product was recently even certified by China’s 3C. As per that, this TWS will be backed by a 472mAh battery. 

Additionally, Korea’s NRRA certification for these earbuds reveals them to be manufactured in Vietnam. This goes in line with another report from earlier this week, which said that the new Galaxy Buds codenamed ‘Attic’ will be initially mass-produced in Vietnam in the month of December and January. Also, it noted that the manufacturing will be further extended to Brazil in February.

Having said that, these certifications haven’t revealed any specifications of these upcoming wireless earphones except for their model number and battery capacity. But as per yesterday’s report, we know that they will feature a similar in-ear design as the Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Buds.

However, unlike the other two models, the new Galaxy Buds Pro is said to come with ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) and improved ‘Ambient Mode’.

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.
