    Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 & Buds 3 Pro Pass BIS Certification Pre-Launch

    Samsung is gearing up to enhance its audio lineup with the release of the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. These new models are expected to debut at the forthcoming Unpacked event, alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro was recently leaked, showcasing a design overhaul. Moreover, a recent certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) confirms that these earbuds will soon be available in India, following their global launch.

    The BIS certification lists the devices with model numbers SM-R630 for the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and SM-R530 for the Galaxy Buds 3. While the listing does not provide specific details regarding the features or specifications, it does suggest that an Indian release is imminent.

    Design Overhaul

    Samsung appears to be moving away from the previous bean-shaped design, opting instead for a stem design. This change aligns the new Buds more closely with competitors like Apple’s AirPods and OnePlus Buds. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will feature a dual-driver design and support Bluetooth 5.4, enhancing audio performance. Additionally, the Pro version will come with an IP57 rating, ensuring resistance to water and dust, and is expected to offer up to 30 hours of battery life.

    Anticipated Features

    As the Galaxy Buds 3 series begins to appear on more certification websites, more details about their features and specifications are likely to emerge. For now, let’s examine the specifications and features of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro to get a sense of what to expect from its successor.

    The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro boasts silicone ear tips for a secure fit and effective noise isolation. These earbuds come equipped with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that reduces ambient noise by up to 33dB and include a transparency mode. They support Bluetooth 5.3 and have an IPX7 rating for water resistance.

    With 10mm drivers and 24-bit Hi-Fi sound, the Buds 2 Pro deliver clear and rich audio. The earbuds also support 360-degree audio and Dolby Head Tracking for a more immersive listening experience. Three microphones (two external, one internal) ensure clear calls and minimize background noise.

    The Voice Detect feature switches the earbuds from ANC to Ambient Mode when you start speaking to someone. According to Samsung, the earbuds can last up to 8 hours on a single charge without ANC, and up to 29 hours total with the charging case.
