Samsung is set to release new wireless earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, with a stemmed design similar to Apple AirPods. According to leaked information, both models will have on-device AI capabilities and an IP57 rating for dust and water resistance. They support Bluetooth v5.4 and Auto Switch (Roland Quandt, Android Headlines).

The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro has been revealed through official promo images, showing a white color option for the earbuds (Roland Quandt, XDA Developers). The design change to a stemmed design allows for increased internal volume and more components (Gizmochina).

Samsung's new earbuds are expected to be announced during the Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10, 2024. The standard model is rumored to cost around $140, while the Pro model may retail for $240 (Tom's Guide).

Apple and Samsung have a history of design imitation, with Samsung's Buds 3 Pro closely resembling AirPods and the Galaxy Watch Ultra having a band and squarish rugged look similar to the Apple Watch Ultra (MacWorld). From 2011 to 2018, Apple and Samsung were involved in a legal battle over smartphone patents with accusations of design copying.

  • Deception (30%)
    The author makes editorializing statements and uses emotional manipulation by implying that Samsung's actions are desperate and that Apple's products are truly great or desired by everyone. The author also engages in selective reporting by focusing on the similarities between Samsung's products and Apple's, while ignoring any differences or unique features of Samsung's offerings.
    • The latest case of imitation/flattery feels more blatant than the case of the Galaxy S and the iPhone 3GS.
    • But let’s just say that using a slightly different shade of orange doesn’t count as designing your own product. I mean, even the back and the band-swapping mechanism appear to be carbon copies of the Apple Watch Ultra.
    • For a rival company to be driven to this level of desperate mimicry, the AirPods and the Apple Watch must be truly great products, or at least products that every consumer wants to own.
