Samsung Launches Galaxy Buds Core with AI Features and Affordable Pricing

Samsung launched a pair of cheap earbuds, but you probably won't be able to buy them

Currently, the Galaxy Buds Core are only available in India for Rs. 4,999 (~$59). There's no word yet on their US release. Everyone is waiting for Galaxy Unpacked to come around for Samsung to officially launch its new foldables and wearables, but the company has surprisingly launched a new pair of earbuds. The Galaxy Buds Core are now official, targeting the budget TWS segment, but you might not be able to buy them after all. The Galaxy Buds Core look much like the Galaxy Buds FE and feature wing tips for getting a secure fit. They feature a "new dynamic driver," although Samsung didn't share more details beyond just promising rich and deep sound with powerful bass. They also offer Active Noise Cancelation, so you can keep noise out of your music sessions. Each earbud has three microphones, promising "best in segment" call quality. It's 2025, so of course, the Galaxy Buds Core comes with AI features. These earbuds integrate Galaxy AI's Interpreter feature, bringing real-time, two-way face-to-face interpretation directly to your ears. Since these are Galaxy earbuds, they connect effortlessly to Galaxy devices and can be located through Samsung Find. There are touch controls on board and an auto-switch feature to use the earbuds with multiple devices simultaneously.

Full Galaxy Buds Core specs revealed, and Samsung's finally fixed our main issue with the Buds FE

The Buds Core boast increased stamina over the Buds FE with ANC off It's been a turbulent but exciting few weeks for Samsung's incoming Galaxy Buds Core - aka the Galaxy Buds 2 FE (which is effectively what they'll be). On June 12 we reported their sighting in an APK teardown alongside the still-unofficial Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE, then three days ago they were spotted by name in a tweet by Samsung India alongside a June 27 launch date (and even an Amazon listing). And now, a day earlier than promised (for today is June 26), we've got actual published specs and images, this time from Samsung's UAE site. The first thing to note is their listed regular 189AED price tag, which would make them around $51.50, £37.50 or AU$79, but they're currently showing a reduced price of just 159AED on Samsung's site. Either way, that is a lot cheaper than the $99 / £99 / AU$149 asking fee of the inaugural Buds FE at launch, in September 2023 - and more than enough to see them fit for inclusion in our best budget earbuds roundup. In our review of the Galaxy Buds FE, we noted their "respectable battery life... right in the middle of what's expected of ANC-based earbuds these days". That said, I found they only lasted around 4.5 hours with ANC deployed before needing a charge (and I'm not alone there, the good people over at SoundGuys listed a Buds FE battery test of just four hours and 39 minutes). Also, demands in 2025 are quite different. We also noted a lack of wireless charging support in the Buds FE, and while that doesn't seem to have been added in the Buds Core, Samsung claims you do now get up to 35 hours of total battery time in the Buds Core without ANC deployed, up from 30 hours in the Buds FE. With ANC on, it's a 21-hour claim. Elsewhere, they're available in black or white with Samsung's silicone wingtips to achieve a decent fit. You also get three mics per bud - so far, so same-as-the-FE. But this is where things change... Now, thanks to support for Galaxy Interpreter (which is part of Galaxy AI), you should be able to hear translations on the spot - ie without needing to look at the screen of your Galaxy smartphone while wearing the Buds Core. You simply wear the earbuds and converse: Galaxy AI provides translations in real-time. You also get Samsung's scalable codec, for better-quality audio within Samsung's ecosystem, plus multi-point seamless connectivity between your Samsung devices. And for the quoted asking fee, that seems more than reasonable. It's also the 27th tomorrow, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for more official Buds Core pricing from Samsung. Watch this space!
