About two years ago, Samsung had launched the Galaxy Buds Plus true wireless earphones in the market, as an upgraded variant of the Galaxy Buds earphones. Now, the South Korean giant has launched the latest TWS earphones — Samsung Galaxy Buds2.

The earphones are available in four color options — Olive, Graphite, White, and Lavender but all four colorways come in the same white case. Currently up for pre-orders, the Galaxy Buds2 is priced at $149 and will be available for purchase starting August 27th.
