New Galaxy Buds looks ready to last longer than any before
One that might have the longest battery life
The new Galaxy Buds Core are now officially confirmed and according to a new listing, the model will have the longest battery life Samsung has ever put in a pair of earbuds. Without Active Noise Cancellation turned on, Samsung claims up to 35 hours of playtime. That could actually beat the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro in real-world use – especially if you are someone who doesn’t care much for ANC and just wants something that lasts.
And even with ANC enabled, they are promised to last 21 hours, which is still pretty solid. There is a 65mAh battery in each bud and the case battery capacity is 500mAh. For reference, that is more than what most budget earbuds offer. For example, the CMF Buds 2 Plus costs $79 and features a 53mAh battery in each earbud, plus a 460mAh battery in the charging case.

And yeah, for people who spend a lot of time commuting, traveling or just vibing to podcasts or music all day, long battery life is one of the few things that actually matters more than fancy features. If Samsung nails the price, these could be a sleeper hit for everyday users.
Core = budget? Probably

Because let’s face it: the regular Galaxy Buds 3 are already priced at $99 in the US and those should offer better sound and ANC. So, if the Core model wants to make a splash, it needs to land well below that.

A massive Unpacked is coming
There is even a chance we will get our first official look at Samsung’s long-rumored tri-foldable phone and maybe – just maybe – the next-gen Galaxy Ring.
Bottom line: this event is going to be loaded with hardware reveals and the Buds Core might be the quiet little standout – especially if all you care about is reliable, long-lasting audio without breaking the bank.
