Samsung Galaxy Buds Leaks: Two New Affordable Earbuds Are Coming

Samsung could be preparing to expand its TWS earbuds catalog. A recent leak suggests the tech giant is working on an upcoming pair of wireless earbuds: the Galaxy Buds 3 FE. However, this would be a different model than the previously leaked Galaxy Buds Core, another pair of affordable earphones. So, if you were waiting for more audio options from Samsung, your wish might soon come true.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE leaked: an affordable flagship sibling?

We’ve seen Samsung use the “FE” (Fan Edition) branding for its smartphones before, signaling a device that takes many great features from a flagship model and offers them at a more accessible price point. Now, it looks like this strategy is coming to their audio lineup. The Galaxy Buds 3 FE is reportedly an affordable version of the Galaxy Buds 3 series. This means you can expect it to share some of the core DNA and design elements of Samsung’s latest premium earbuds, but likely with a few features adjusted to hit that attractive lower price.

Not to Be Confused: Buds 3 FE vs. Buds Core

Here’s where it gets interesting and a little bit clearer. For a while, there have been whispers about another affordable Samsung earbud called the Galaxy Buds Core. This was speculated to be a more basic, entry-level offering. Well, recent findings from Android Authority confirmed that the Galaxy Buds 3 FE is a distinct product.

So, Samsung isn’t just releasing one affordable earbud. They seem to be creating two different tiers:

• Galaxy Buds 3 FE: Positioned as the more accessible sibling to the flagship Buds 3, likely maintaining a good balance of features and value.
• Galaxy Buds Core: Potentially an even more basic option. They will aim at the entry-level market for those who just need fundamental wireless audio.

This strategy could help Samsung capture a wider range of customers, offering a high-quality experience at different price points. Basically, the firm could begin to attack all price ranges in the sub-$100 segment.

Sadly, there are still no more details about the Galaxy Buds 3 FE’s specs and features. On the other hand, the Galaxy Buds Core is said to boast the best battery life in the Galaxy Buds family. Hopefully, more details will emerge in the coming days.
