Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 are generating buzz ahead of the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event, rumored to take place on July 10th. Leaks suggest that the new earbuds will feature a stem design reminiscent of Apple’s AirPods, along with a unique ‘pinch’ gesture functionality for music playback.
According to a leak from Samsung insider @AssembleDebug on X (formerly Twitter), images found in the Samsung Members app hint at the introduction of a ‘pinch’ gesture with the Galaxy Buds 3. While details are scarce, it is speculated that users may be able to control music playback by pinching the stems, similar to the functionality seen in AirPods and Nothing’s Chat GPT pinch-to-speak feature.
This leak indicates that Samsung is taking inspiration from competitors to enhance the user experience of its Galaxy Buds 3. By adopting a stem design and potentially introducing the pinch gesture, Samsung is aligning its earbuds with industry trends while offering a departure from the previous Galaxy Buds 2 bud-shaped design.
With Apple already exploring touch-free controls for AirPods and Siri integration in future models, the race to innovate in the wireless earbuds market is heating up. While Samsung’s focus on pinch controls is a step forward, competitors are moving towards touchless functions to enhance user convenience.
As anticipation builds for the Galaxy Unpacked event, consumers are eager to see how Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro will revolutionize the wireless earbuds market. With the potential for enhanced music playback control and real-time translation capabilities, the Galaxy Buds 3 are poised to offer a compelling alternative to existing options on the market.
Stay tuned for more updates as Samsung prepares to unveil its latest innovations at Galaxy Unpacked 2024.
