Samsung is set to to unveil Galaxy Buds2 and Galaxy Buds2 Pro (curr. $149.99 on Amazon) successors next week. Specifically, the company will present the Galaxy Buds3 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro on July 10 during its next Galaxy Unpacked event. However, it is unlikely to spend too long on its new earbuds. Instead, we suspect that Galaxy Unpacked will be dominated by the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6, as well as the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch Ultra.
At any rate, people have still sought to show off the Galaxy Buds3 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro ahead of their official releases. In short, the new round of leaks confirm that Samsung has decided to adopt Apple's design language for both sets of earbuds. As such, the Galaxy Buds3 series features a stem design, unlike all in-ear Galaxy Buds2 Pro.
With that being said, it appears that Samsung has added LED accents, which are currently referred to as the 'blade lights'. Unfortunately, the exact functionality of these LED lights remains unknown for now. Nonetheless, it is clear that both the Galaxy Buds3 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro will offer them, based on the images below. Conversely, Samsung will match Apple by distinguishing 'Pro' earbuds from their regular counterparts by only equipping the former with silicone ear tips. Incidentally, a recent leak suggested that Samsung will include a free pair of Galaxy Buds3 Pro earbuds with all Galaxy Z Flip6 and Galaxy Z Fold6 pre-orders.
