Samsung currently sells a bunch of TWS earphones, including the Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Buds+, Galaxy Buds Pro, and Galaxy Buds Live. The company, however, seems to be working on another TWS earphones, dubbed the Galaxy Buds 2. These upcoming earbuds are expected to come as the successor to the first generation Galaxy Buds.
The allegedly upcoming TWS earphones from Samsung were leaked for the first time in March this year followed by a couple of other leaks. Today we have some more information regarding the upcoming TWS earphones from Samsung as we have spotted the Galaxy Buds 2 on the FCC certification platform.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 spotted on FCC
According to previous reports, the model number of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 is SM-R177. Today, we have spotted certification for the same model number of the Galaxy Buds 2 on the FCC certification platform. The certification reveals live images of the Galaxy Buds 2 along with a few of its specifications.
As you can see, the Galaxy Buds 2 seem to have a design similar to the Galaxy Buds with an in-ear design. Going by the images, it looks like the Galaxy Buds 2 have an optical sensor for wear detection, an inward-facing microphone, and an outward-facing microphone. The earphones in the test images have a black colour scheme, meaning black could be one of the hues on offer.
According to FCC, the upcoming Galaxy Buds 2 have Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) connectivity. One of the images shows the model number of the charging case of the Galaxy Buds 2 is EP-QR177. It also reveals that the charging case will have a 2.5W charging speed and the earbuds have a 0.6W charging input. Unfortunately, that is all the info we could gather from the certification.
According to a popular tipster Roland Quandt, Samsung has already started the production of the Galaxy Buds 2. Moreover, a sketch of the charging case of the Galaxy Buds 2 has also been leaked in the past. Considering that the earphones have been certified through FCC, the Galaxy Buds 2 launch seems imminent.
Considering that Galaxy Buds were launched in August 2019 and Galaxy Buds Live were launched in August 2020, it is highly likely that Samsung could launch the Galaxy Buds 2 in August 2021.
