Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy Buds are rumored to be similar to AirPods, and new leaked renders make the comparison clearer than ever. Renders allegedly spotted on Korean retailer Coupang suggest that Samsung may ditch its bulb-shaped earphones in favor of wireless earphones with AirPods-like stems, AirPods-like vents, and even AirPods-like cases.
I made an image slider so you can compare one of the renders to a photo of Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro. The biggest differences between Samsung’s new headphones are a metallic silver color and some more angular features.
If this is indeed a new look for Samsung’s earphones – Samsung is apparently developing standard and Pro versions of the Galaxy Buds 3, both with stems – then it would mark a huge departure from the company’s previous design language, Because Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Galaxy Buds FE are rounder and have no stem.
We don’t know when these new headphones will be released, but the company usually holds a summer Unpacked event, so maybe they’ll be released there.
