Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Buds 3 appear to be taking design cues from Apple’s AirPods, according to newly leaked renders. The images, reportedly sourced from Korean retailer Coupang, indicate that Samsung may be transitioning away from its signature bulb-shaped earbuds in favor of a sleeker design featuring stems and vents similar to those on AirPods, along with a similarly styled charging case.
What sets Samsung's new buds apart is a distinctive metallic silver color and more angular features compared to their Apple counterparts. This marks a significant shift from the company’s previous models, such as the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Galaxy Buds FE, which were known for their rounded, stemless design.
The renders suggest that Samsung is preparing both standard and Pro versions of the Galaxy Buds 3, both incorporating the new stemmed design. This potential redesign indicates a major departure from Samsung’s established aesthetic, likely aiming to capture a broader market segment that favors the popular AirPods style.
While the official release date for these new earbuds remains uncertain, Samsung traditionally hosts its summer Unpacked events where such announcements are typically made. Fans of the brand and tech enthusiasts alike will be eagerly awaiting confirmation and further details.
