Back in late November 2020, Samsung launched Level U2 neckband-style wireless earphones in South Korea. It is the successor to the popular Level U from over five years back. In the following days, this product made its way to various markets across the world. Now, two months later since its initial debut, this audio product is finally available in India.

The newly launched Samsung level U2 wireless earphones in India feature 12mm drivers, which the company claims to deliver rich and balanced sound over Bluetooth 5.0 connection.

This pair of in-ear type earphones support multiple audio codecs, namely HFP, HSP, A2DP, AVRCP, and SSC (Samsung Scalable Codec). For those unaware, SSC is only supported on Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets running Android 7.0 Nougat and above.

Further, this product comes with a single microphone and 4-button inline control. Talking about dimensions, it measures 146 x 39 x 170mm and just weighs 41.5g. Also, it ships with three different-sized ear tips (Small, large, Wing Tip).

Last but not least, these Samsung earphones are backed by a 159mAh battery, which the company claims to offer up to 18-hour music playback, 13-hour talk time, and 500-hour standby time on a full charge via USB Type-C port.

The Samsung Level U2 neckband-style wireless earphones are priced at ₹1,999 ($27) in India. It is currently available in two colors (Black, Blue) on Samsung online store and Flipkart. But it should hit offline markets and other retailers in the coming days.

The Galaxy Note 7 may have been short-lived but fans really dug its coral blue color. After the recall, Samsung had no choice but to relaunch the Galaxy S7 in coral blue. That move saw the S7 score more sales as it remained the only Samsung flagship you could buy up until the Galaxy S8′ release. Samsung has confirmed the S8 and the S8+ will also be getting the Coral Blue treatment and it will be arriving in US tomorrow.

The new color variant will be available both as unlocked and carrier versions. Both versions will be sold by Best Buy while Samsung itself will sell only the unlocked models. The locked versions will be available on Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T.

From July 21 to July 29 Best Buy will run a promo that will see customers get up to $400 off the retail price of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ if their purchase or activation qualifies. Samsung will also offer a limited promotion that offers $150 off the retail price.

If you have a device that meets Samsung’s trade-in conditions, you can receive a credit towards the purchase of an unlocked model.
