When Samsung takes inspiration from Apple and Nothing… The new Galaxy Buds 3 are already talking about them even before their official release.
Samsung is about to unveil its new Galaxy Buds 3, and the least we can say is that they are not going unnoticed. With a design that flirts dangerously with that of the AirPods, is the Korean giant taking risks or covering its back?
Exit the compact and discreet look of previous models, Samsung opts for a radically different approach with its Galaxy Buds 3. The renderings leaked by the leaker Onleaks show earphones with stems, furiously reminiscent of Apple’s AirPods. A choice that will not fail to make fans of the brand react.
But Samsung didn’t just copy and paste Apple’s design. The stems of the Galaxy Buds 3 appear more square, with a distinctive triangular tip. A detail that could well be Samsung’s personal touch to stand out from the competition.
The case is exposed
If the headphones do the talking, the case is not left out. Still elliptical in shape, it expands and adopts a transparent cover, this time reminiscent of the Nothing Ear. A trend towards transparency that seems to be winning over the wireless earphone industry.
This new design is not just aesthetic. The case integrates LEDs for each earphone, as well as a central indicator. A practical feature that allows you to know at a glance the charge status of each component.
Pro vs Standard: what differences can be expected?
Samsung is expected to offer two versions of its new headphones: the Galaxy Buds 3 and the Buds 3 Pro. While the design seems identical, we can expect additional features on the Pro version to justify its higher price. Active noise reduction, already present on previous models, should be improved. The standard Buds 3 could be satisfied with passive isolation, thus maintaining a more accessible price positioning. A strategy comparable to that of Apple.

This leak comes a few weeks before the Samsung Unpacked event, scheduled for July 10. The Galaxy Buds 3 will not be the only stars of Unpacked 2024. Samsung should also lift the veil on its new foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. Without forgetting the mysterious Galaxy Ring, which could well be the surprise of the event. And finally, the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra.
