Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 leak shows AirPods like stems, vents and case

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 design and case revealed through Korean retailer. The image shows that the next-gen Galaxy Buds moving on from bulb-shape to Apple AirPods -like stems, vents, and case.

X tipster @TEQHNIKACROSS (via TheVerge) posted an alleged image of Galaxy Buds 3 from Coupang, a Korean retailer. The case of the upcoming buds is shown in a rectangular shape with a transparent lid.

The shape is turning from its squarish design to rectangular to match Apple AirPods. As shown in the leaked image, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 have AirPods-like stems, which fit into a horizontally opening case.

The Buds 3’s stems feature a wider section and rectangular stem, looking different from AirPods. However, the overall design is identical to Apple’s AirPods Pro, with a similar case size, different colors, and a transparent lid.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Buds 3 could launch alongside Galaxy Buds 3 Pro next month. The non-Pro variant will likely feature a single driver, Active Noise Cancellation, and an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance.

Apart from the Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro, the Korean tech giant will launch the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 foldable phones, Galaxy Watch 7 series, Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Ring.
