Samsung's much-anticipated open-earbuds appear to leak again, this time with a new name and long list of features
Another leak has revived interest in Samsung's open-ear headphones, this time suggesting a new name as well as some features which they could have.
Samsung's highly anticipated clip-style earbuds, now known as Galaxy Buds On, have resurfaced in a new leak. The name change comes after the buds were previously rumored to be called Galaxy Buds Able. The leak, found on Samsung fan site SammyGuru, details a range of features set to be included in the earbuds.
One of the key features mentioned is head-tracking control, allowing users to reject or accept incoming calls by nodding or shaking their head. Another feature, Volume Boost, aims to address the open earbud design's issue with sound quality by temporarily increasing volume in loud environments. Additionally, the leak hints at an Auto Volume feature that could dynamically adjust volume levels based on the user's surroundings.
AI capabilities are also highlighted, with the earbuds reportedly able to activate Gemini or Bixby through a key phrase or tap. Furthermore, the leak suggests that users can record voice memos instantly by performing a specific touch gesture, a feature found in some competing earbuds.
However, the leak also leaves some questions unanswered, particularly regarding the release date. While some leaks suggest an October release for certain Samsung tablets, the Galaxy Buds On could potentially be delayed until 2027, when Samsung is rumored to launch over-ear headphones. As of now, the release date is listed as TBC, underlined in red to indicate uncertainty.
