Samsung is all set to take its wireless earbuds to the next level with the upcoming launch of the Galaxy Buds Core. Expected to be the successor to the Galaxy Buds FE, these new earbuds are already generating buzz, especially after some key details were leaked through the FCC certification. The most notable change? Bigger batteries. It looks like Samsung is focusing on improving the longevity and performance of the Galaxy Buds Core, making them a serious contender in the wireless earbuds market.
The Galaxy Buds Core are identified by the model number SM-R410, and their battery capacity has just been revealed, giving us a sneak peek into what we can expect from these earbuds. According to Nemko certification, the battery capacity of the case for the Galaxy Buds Core stands at 500mAh, which is a significant upgrade compared to the 479mAh battery found in the Galaxy Buds FE.
But the improvements don’t stop at the case. Each individual earbud in the Galaxy Buds Core has a 200mAh battery. It’s likely that each earbud has around 100mAh, which is a substantial increase over the 60mAh batteries in the Galaxy Buds FE.
With these enhancements, it seems clear that the Galaxy Buds Core will offer a longer battery life than its predecessor. The Galaxy Buds FE, despite being Samsung’s most affordable wireless earbuds, featured a smaller battery compared to the new Galaxy Buds Core, and Samsung’s flagship Galaxy Buds 3 Pro also have smaller individual earbud batteries.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have 48mAh batteries per earbud and a 515mAh case battery, which gives them the largest case battery in Samsung's wireless earbuds lineup. However, with the 200mAh battery in each earbud, Galaxy Buds Core could very well become the earbuds with the largest battery in terms of individual earbuds, offering longer listening time between charges.
The Galaxy Buds Core are expected to pack some impressive features alongside the larger batteries. For starters, the earbuds will feature Bluetooth 5.x, likely Bluetooth v5.4, which offers enhanced connectivity, faster data transfer, and better power efficiency.
It’s also likely that these earbuds will support high-quality codecs like AAC and SSC (Super Sonic Codec), which would provide better sound quality for users. Additionally, the earbuds are expected to come equipped with three microphones on each side, improving call quality and environmental noise detection.
When it comes to the design, the Galaxy Buds Core could adopt a similar aesthetic to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, featuring stems that would allow for easier controls. These stems would improve the overall usability and comfort, allowing users to manage calls, music, and other settings more conveniently. There’s also speculation that the Galaxy Buds Core might include Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), though this is still uncertain.
The charging case for the Galaxy Buds Core is expected to feature a USB Type-C charging port, though whether it will support wireless charging remains unclear. Regardless, the improved battery and charging capabilities could make these earbuds more convenient for users on the go.
Though Samsung has not officially announced a release date, the Galaxy Buds Core are expected to launch later this year. As with most of Samsung's releases, we can expect the earbuds to feature a premium design and offer the kind of features that have made Samsung's wireless earbuds so popular among users.
The Galaxy Buds Core are shaping up to be an exciting addition to Samsung’s lineup of wireless earbuds. With larger batteries, improved sound quality, and a host of premium features, these earbuds could easily become the go-to option for users looking for reliable, high-quality audio experiences.
By improving battery life and adding advanced features like Bluetooth 5.x and high-quality codecs, Samsung is making sure the Galaxy Buds Core are ready to compete with the best in the market. Whether you’re a casual listener or someone who relies on earbuds for calls and work, the Galaxy Buds Core might be the perfect option to consider when they arrive later this year. Stay tuned for more details as the official launch draws closer.
