Samsung is gearing up to introduce its new Galaxy Buds 3 series TWS earphones at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event next week. Although the official launch is still days away, real-life images of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have surfaced, courtesy of X tipster Roland Quandt. Check out the design from the images below.
Galaxy Buds 3 Pro Features a Longer Stem
The new earphones from Samsung have abandoned their traditional bean-shaped design in favor of a model with a longer stem. This stem is notably longer than that of the AirPods Pro 2.
Design and Speculation
A Korean source speculates that this design shift is driven by the need for increased internal volume, which allows for a larger battery and additional components. Previous reports suggest that the Galaxy Buds 3 series will incorporate some of the capabilities of Galaxy AI. The inclusion of new features could be a factor behind the design change, potentially enabling Samsung to include more or more advanced components inside the earbuds.
Last month, an image of the base Galaxy Buds 3 along with its charging case was leaked. These buds also feature a stem-like design, though the stem is slightly shorter than that of the Pro model. The standard version was displayed in silver, showing a distinctly angular design for the stem. For the Pro model, only portions of the design are visible, and a closer look suggests that the stem is not rounded either.
Nonetheless, these leaked images might represent one of the designs Samsung experimented with. Therefore, the final design revealed next week may differ from what we see in these leaks.
