Samsung Galaxy Buds update fixes Ambient Sound problem as well as improves on audio quality

The newest update coming to the Samsung Galaxy Buds brings some important fixes to the wireless earbuds. Version R170XXU0ASF3 finally addresses the temporary glitch with Ambient Sound, which Samsung tried to address in a previous update. Audio quality gets improved when streaming music and making voice calls. The battery indicator now also shows which of the earbuds have a lower battery level. You can get the latest update from your phone via the Galaxy Wearable app or through your Windows or Mac computer via the Galaxy Buds Manager app. It’s just 1.36MB in size.

Samsung leaks new wearables lineup it might be launching next week

Just like in the past, Samsung doesn’t just launch its new phone at its big Unpacked event. And it looks like we might see its new wearables, too. The Galaxy Wearable app for Android now has a whole bunch of new products, which have been rumoured but haven’t been launched yet. One is called the Galaxy Watch Active, which matches the leaked sports-focused smartwatch that was dubbed the Galaxy Sport. According to the app, it has a 40mm and comes in at least two colours. Another is the Galaxy Fit and Fit e fitness bands. Both have watch-style rubber straps. It isn’t clear yet what the “e” stands for, or how the models differ from each other. Lastly, there is the Galaxy Buds, Samsung’s new wireless earbuds, which we’ve talked about in previous posts.

Here's a look at the Samsung Galaxy Buds in black

Samsung has been known to pair its flagship phones with premium headphones. But instead of working with a third-party brand, Samsung will be including its own Galaxy Buds with the Galaxy S10. These wireless earbuds are considered the next iteration of the Gear IconX. Unfortunately, these seem to be packing less power than the Gear IconX. It'll just have 58mAh for the buds and 252mAh for the case (the Gear IconX has the 82mAh and 340mAh, respectively). 

However, the Galaxy Buds support wireless charging via the Galaxy S10. This pair of earbuds can also play music even without a phone. It has double the offline storage of the IconX at 8GB, which can store around 2,000 songs. It also supports Bluetooth 5.0 instead of 4.2. And it has a sweat-resistance rating of IPX2. The Galaxy Buds are expected to launch alongside the Galaxy S10 Series. In some countries, it'll even be bundled with the phone. If you want to buy it on its own, these are expected to be available for purchase separately around the same time the Galaxy S10 comes out.
