The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 could be launching soon, with rumors that the updated true wireless earbuds will ramp up in anticipation of the brand's upcoming Unboxed event, taking place in August. At the end of April, the South Korean company registered the trademark `` Samsung BudsX '' in the UK and Europe, suggesting that a new version of the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus could be released. It's unclear if the "X" is a placeholder, but we think it'll probably be called the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2. Leaked images of successors to the Samsung Galaxy Buds have since shown a strange bean-like design, while Notable leakers like Max Weinbach of XDA Developers have claimed that new wireless headphones are on the way. The original Galaxy Buds were Samsung's answer to the Apple AirPods when they launched on March 8, 2019, and were followed in February 2020 by the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus.
Come to the point
- What are they? The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, a pair of true wireless headphones.
- When will they be released? We are thinking of August 2020, but it needs to be confirmed.
- How much will they cost? Probably similar to Galaxy Buds (€ 149 (€ 139 / AU € 249).
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 release date
The next big release window for the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 will be at the company's Unboxed event, which is scheduled for August 2020. That's when we think the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will launch as well, based on the previous phones in the range. This month has also been the subject of rumors, but due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, Unpacked will apparently be an online-only event, and the schedule may change. In any case, we're not the only ones hoping to see the Galaxy Buds 2 soon. In a tweet showing off the new Galaxy Buds Plus color, XDA Developers' Max Weinbach said: "I find it strange that they continue to release new colors right before the BudsX launch."I find it strange that they continue to release new colors right before the BudsX launch rumor. Don't get me wrong, I love the color options, but it's just plain interesting. pic.twitter.com/L3MID06QzN20 May 2020
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Price
Pricing isn't known yet, but the newest Galaxy Buds Plus went on sale in March for $149.99 / £159 / AU$299, so we're expecting something similar when the next earbuds arrive. . The new Apple earphones should also launch in the near future (be it AirPods 3 or AirPods Pro Lite), Samsung would do well to outdo its biggest competitor with its next-gen earphones, after all, price is a deciding factor for those. looking to buy new headphones.Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 design
If the leaked images are to be believed, the design of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 will be radically different from its predecessors. Based on the 3D renderings that have surfaced, there will be big changes to the design. The images come from WinFuture, and it looks like the small stems of the current Galaxy Buds Plus are being ditched in favor of a bean shape, and indeed, the earbuds' codename would be "Beans". WinFuture's sources say the new bean sprouts are 2.8 cm (1.1 inches) in length, so they should fit comfortably in most ears. There are no silicone tips, so any noise reduction technology, if it exists, could be affected. Based on the leaked renderings, it appears that the Galaxy Buds 2 are available in three colors: White, Black, and Light Blue. WinFuture says that the back of each earcup "fills out the top of the ear, while the bottom, and thus the built-in speakers, protrude into the ear canal." This bean-shaped design isn't a form factor we've seen before, so we're excited to see how they look and feel when they finally launch.Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Fitness Tracker
The brand file discovered earlier this year revealed some of the features we could see from the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, including "software to measure distance, speed, time, changes in heart rate, and activity level." , calories burned." It should be noted that the specifications described in trademark filings don't always appear in the final product, but these biometric sensors could make the new Galaxy Buds an excellent pair of earphones that work just like the Powerbeats Pro. it also describes "wireless headphones that incorporate software to provide exercise guidance," meaning they could come with a built-in voice assistant (Bixby, perhaps) that can help improve your running performance by giving you real-time advice based on on data collected by biometric sensors. If Samsung releases a pair of fitness tracking headphones, we expect to see an IPX4 rating or higher, which would protect them from sweat or rain.Samsung Galaxy Buds 2: what we want to see
Both Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus were true wireless earbuds, but there are some improvements we'd like to see. Noise cancellation We were disappointed not to find any noise canceling technology on the Galaxy Buds Plus; we expected it to be Samsung's answer to the Apple AirPods Pro. Once reserved for bulky headphones, noise cancellation is becoming more common in true wireless headphones, especially after the success of models like the Sony WF-1000XM3. It's about time Samsung brought the technology to its range of Galaxy earbuds, and we hope the Galaxy Buds 2 will live up to it. Improved sound The Galaxy Buds 2 didn't sound bad at all, but we'd like to see an improvement in audio quality with the next generation. Samsung could achieve this by introducing support for high-resolution audio codecs like aptX, aptX Low Latency, or better yet, Sony LDAC. A higher battery time. The Galaxy Buds Plus offer much longer battery life than the original Galaxy Buds, but the charging case left a lot to be desired. The earbuds themselves have 11 hours of charging, while the charging case provides an additional 11 hours of charge, bringing the total battery life to 22 hours. This 11-hour runtime is long enough for the earbuds, but for the charging case, it's not a huge amount of battery life. For comparison, the Apple AirPods hold 5 hours in the earbuds, with an additional 20 hours provided by the charging case, for 25 hours in total. We'd like the Galaxy Buds 2 charging case to provide longer battery life so you can charge more than once on the go. Can't wait for the Galaxy Buds 2?
