Report: Samsung's next Galaxy Buds might be the most useful model yet

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

Information continues to leak about Samsung’s upcoming wearables, namely the Galaxy Buds 3 and the next-gen Galaxy Watch. Beginning with the former, a marketing image for the earbuds was posted on the official Samsung forums of all places by user AffinityNexa. 

The post is still on the website now and shows the earbuds inside a case with a transparent lid. However, the most interesting aspect of the image is the tagline, which reads “Where audio, meets AI."

This leads us to believe that perhaps the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro will have some sort of AI functionality. Exactly what kind is unknown, although it could be similar to how Nothing earbuds integrate with ChatGPT. Those earbuds let you pinch-to-speak to talk with ChatGPT. It’s possible Samsung plans to do the same thing, but these will likely connect t to Google Gemini instead.

2024 has seen the two tech giants become frequent collaborators. The Galaxy S24 series currently features Circle to Search, and offering quick access to Gemini Nano via the Galaxy Buds3 could be the next major update in the long-running partnership.

Design change

The forum post reveals other features potentially coming to the Galaxy Buds3 duo. According to AffinityNexa, Samsung is redesigning its audio devices by giving them a stem jutting out from the main body, much like AirPods. 

The description matches another leaked image that surfaced on June 21 showing off the Buds 3 sporting a stem. The design isn’t just for looks, though, as it’ll apparently allow for “better controls and microphone quality.”

Inside the earbuds will be “new internal drivers,” presumably enabling better audio output. The battery will reportedly last longer as well, but the amount of time wasn't given. Other notable features include a resistance rating of IP57, allowing the devices to survive brief immersion and Adaptive EQ for adjusting sound profiles on the fly.

Galaxy Watch's new look

As for Galaxy Watches, news site YTECHB unearthed details from a European retailer about what the future wearables could cost and what colors they’ll come in. They claim the 40mm Galaxy Watch7 will cost €314 (about $337), while the 44mm model has a price tag of €345 (roughly $370). The Galaxy Watch Ultra is slated to be much more expensive at €699 or about $750.

The Galaxy Watch7 series will reportedly be available in Cream, Green, or Silver. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra has three color options: Titanium Gray, Titanium Silver, and Titanium White. It’s unclear if the word “Titanium” refers to the construction or if it’s simply the shade's name. We believe it’s the former, as past rumors have suggested the wearable boasts a titanium casing.

Take everything you read here with a grain of salt as things can always change. We’ll know what's real or not soon enough at Samsung’s next Unpacked event which could be on July 10. A promotional banner was found on a Dutch phone carrier website revealing the date for the big event.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring could go into production as soon as next month

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support With the dust beginning to settle from the huge Samsung Unpacked 2023 event, we can turn our attention towards what Samsung might have planned next: and a smart ring seems to be in the company's near future. As per a report from South Korean outlet The Elec (via SamMobile ), mass production on a Samsung Galaxy Ring could begin as early as August, with a decision imminent on the schedule for getting the wearable manufactured and out to consumers. A full launch is slated for some point during 2024 though, rather than 2023. The nature of the device means that it'll need to clear several regulatory hurdles before it can go on sale and start tracking various vital statistics. An early 2024 launch would put the Galaxy Ring on a similar schedule to the Samsung Galaxy S24 – and it would therefore make sense to launch both gadgets at the same time, perhaps in January or February if Samsung follows its 2023 routine. The story so far Rumors ar...

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...

These mobile games are just trying to steal your crypto hoard, FBI warns

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The FBI has warned consumers about a newly-detected, fake "play-to-earn" mobile and online game that tricks victims into depositing cryptocurrency, only to later steal it.  In a public service announcement , the FBI said the elaborate scheme sees scammers first contact the potential victim and try to build a relationship with them.  After a little back-and-forth, the scammers would invite the victim to play an online or mobile game, in which players purportedly earn cryptocurrency rewards in exchange for some activity, “such as growing ‘crops’ on an animated farm” the FBI said.  Depositing cryptos But getting into the “game” isn’t free - the victims must first create a cryptocurrency wallet and deposit some money, which is where the real scam begins. The fraudsters would later also tell the victims that the more funds they deposit, the higher the gains will be. However, as soon as the victim stops depositing additional funds, the...
