Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Buds On earbuds have appeared in a new leak, giving us our best look yet at their design. The latest leak shows the earbuds from all angles and reveals details about their charging case. It also hints at a possible launch date for European markets.

The new leak comes from The Cipher Project, which has uncovered animations showing the Galaxy Buds On from every angle. The animations reveal a rounded, cube-shaped charging case with a smoky, transparent lid. The case design looks similar to the one expected with Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 4 series.

The earbuds feature a curved band that wraps around the ear, giving them a different look from traditional wireless earbuds. This clip-on design could appeal to users looking for a different way to wear their earbuds.

Moreover, the company has already confirmed the Galaxy Buds On and plans to launch them in South Korea on October 27. However, the company has not shared details about their global release.

According to a report, several European retail websites have listed the earbuds. It suggests they could launch in Europe during the first half of December. Samsung has announced a price of 299,000 South Korean won, which is around $220. Swiss retailers have reportedly listed the earbuds at CHF 179 (around $217) and CHF 199 (around $241).

Samsung has not confirmed the date for its global launch, including in the United States. Stay tuned for more information.

Samsung nears releasing the stable One UI 9 Watch update for its flagship smartwatch line. The company appears to have entered the final stretch of One UI 9 Watch deployment as the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 8 receive fifth and sixth Beta.

On October 23, Galaxy Watch 7, Watch Ultra, Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic started receiving the fifth and sixth One UI 9 Watch Beta update. The rollout is underway in South Korea, with the overseas expansion following within a few hours or days.

With the Galaxy Watch 7 and 8 starting to receive the new Beta, more models, including the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 8 Classic, are highly likely to receive their final Betas. Samsung may also impress users by opening the public rollout soon.

One UI 9 Watch Beta 5/6 release notes bring four changes/improvements to the table.

First, the update includes the latest Android-based Wear OS patches released in October 2026 to improve the security and stability of the wearable devices.

Second, the Watch 7 and Watch 8 are getting watch face improvements. Third, the always-on display operation has been stabilized so users have a better overall functional experience. Lastly, the Quick Settings panel is also having enhancements.

These improvements suggest that Samsung is done installing new features and addressing bugs. The fifth Beta is all about polishing the user interface, which signals an imminent start of the official One UI 9 Watch firmware update.

Samsung is quietly plotting a serious push into the dedicated fitness wearables market with a new form factor. After Galaxy Buds On open-ear earbuds, Samsung is preparing Galaxy T1 ear-hook earbuds for a market launch.

Samsung prepares Galaxy T1 ear-hook earbuds launch

New regulatory filings from South Korea reveal that an unannounced pair of Samsung ear-hook earbuds, internally designated the Galaxy T1, has cleared (via SammyGuru) certification with the National Radio Research Agency.

We have tracked rumors of this wrap-around design since June, when leaks first pointed toward a more secure, sport-oriented alternative to traditional in-ear monitors.

While initial supply chain inputs dubbed them the Galaxy Buds Canal 5, the T1 moniker suggests a more distinct product category for Samsung. As for when we will actually see them on store shelves, the timeline remains a mystery.

Manufactured across facilities in both China and Vietnam, these athletic-focused buds have also quietly picked up clearance from the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology over the past month.

Samsung recently introduced the clip-on Galaxy Buds On, but the T1 clearly targets high-impact runners and gym-goers who need a rock-solid physical fit without shoving tips deep into the ear canal.

When can we expect the Galaxy T1 to launch?

Samsung’s hardware pipeline points toward an early next-year debut alongside the Galaxy S27 series, though a surprise holiday announcement cannot be entirely ruled out.

In my view, waiting for the S27 launch event might dilute the fitness focus these earbuds deserve, but Samsung has never shied away from bundling accessory debuts with its core smartphone flagships.

Samsung is reportedly working on its new fitness tracker, the Galaxy Fit 4. Videos shared by Android Authority show the device from all sides in three colors: black, white, and light blue. The leaked videos give us a clear look at the upcoming fitness band before its official announcement.

The Galaxy Fit 4 looks very similar to the Galaxy Fit 3. It has a rectangular display with rounded corners, a physical button on the right side, and a silicone strap with a buckle. The back of the device also has sensors for health tracking. Based on the leaked videos, Samsung does not appear to have made any major changes to its design.

Earlier reports revealed a Samsung wearable with the model number SM-R391, which was linked to the Galaxy Fit 4. The device is expected to support Bluetooth Low Energy. Reports also suggest that it could use a Goodix GH3036 optical sensor for heart rate and other health measurements. However, Samsung has not officially confirmed its features or specifications.

The Galaxy Fit 4 will face competition from Google’s new fitness trackers. The Fitbit Air costs $99 and tracks fitness without a screen, while the Fitbit Edge costs $179.99 and includes an OLED display and more health features.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Fit 3 at around $60. The Galaxy Fit 4 could have a similar price, but the company has not confirmed it yet. If Samsung offers useful features at an affordable price, the new fitness tracker could be a good option for people who want to track their daily activity and health.

Samsung is set to make its first clip-on wireless earphones, the Galaxy Buds On, available on the 27th. The earphones are designed to offer comfort, good sound quality, and awareness of surrounding sounds.

The company studied 119 million ear data points from people of different ages and backgrounds to design earphones that fit different ear shapes. The company used AI technology and computer simulations to test how the earphones fit during movement. This helps them stay secure during exercise while remaining comfortable.

Unlike regular earphones that go inside the ear, the Galaxy Buds On clip onto the outer ear. Their flexible bridge is made from a special metal that helps them adjust to the shape of the ear.

Samsung has added two woofers to deliver stronger bass. The earphones also use sound leakage reduction technology to reduce the sound heard by people nearby. They can automatically adjust the volume according to surrounding noise.

Other features include Google Gemini Live, voice commands, head gestures for answering calls and turning off alarms, and Quick Voice Memo for saving voice notes.

The launch comes as open-type earphones become more popular. According to research firm Omdia, shipments of these earphones grew by 12% year-on-year to 11.1 million units in the second quarter.

Samsung says the Galaxy Buds On will work alongside its regular in-ear earphones. They are suitable for people who want to listen to music while staying aware of traffic and conversations around them. They will launch first in South Korea at a price of 299,000 won.
