Samsung Galaxy Buds Core launch with attractive pricing and limited availability

Samsung has made the Galaxy Buds Core official today (June 27, 2025), although they are only available in India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) thus far.

Confusingly enough, they are rated for Bluetooth 5.4 (with A2DP, AVRCP and HFP) in the latter market, whereas Amazon.in has listed them as Bluetooth 5.3 accessories. Either way, both regional variants of the Buds Core are rated for up to 35 hours of battery life with their ANC off (or up to 20 hours with the mode on).

Samsung says nothing about how powerful this noise cancellation is supposed to be, although the company asserts that the Buds Core will deliver "crystal clear calls" with their 3-mic system.

The new Galaxy Buds are also backed to achieve "Enriched Bass" despite their new entry-level status.

Their IP54, Buds FE-like form-factor come in "classic colors", although there are just 2 of them: Black and White.

They have been released in India with a recommended price of INR 9,999 (~$117, or more than their FE counterparts cost on Amazon.com right now) - but are conveniently discounted by 50% (to INR 4,999 or ~$59) to ensure that they are the cheapest new Galaxy Buds around right now.
