Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Buds Core today, on June 27, 2025. Currently, they are only for sale in India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Conflicting Bluetooth Ratings

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the Bluetooth specifications. While the UAE version is said to support Bluetooth 5.4 (including A2DP, AVRCP, and HFP), Amazon.in lists them as Bluetooth 5.3 accessories. Regardless, both versions are claimed to offer up to 35 hours of battery life when active noise cancellation (ANC) is turned off, or 20 hours with it on.

Noise Cancellation and Call Quality

Samsung hasn’t specified how effective the noise cancellation is, but they claim that the Buds Core will provide “crystal clear calls” thanks to their 3-microphone system. This suggests that even in noisy environments, users can expect good call quality.

Design and Pricing

The new Galaxy Buds are designed with an IP54 rating and resemble the Buds FE, available in two “classic colors”: Black and White. In India, they are introduced with a suggested retail price of INR 9,999 (approximately $117), which is higher than the current prices of their FE models on Amazon.com. However, to make them more appealing, they are being offered at a 50% discount, bringing the price down to INR 4,999 (around $59), making them the most affordable new Galaxy Buds available at this moment.
