It looks likeSamsung Galaxy Buds 3 Proare coming in the very near future, judging by the fact that they’ve received FCC certification for their wireless tech (via91mobiles).

Thisfollows their appearance in other regulatory databases, meaning that a global launch seems to be well in progress. That’s not much of a surprise with it being less than month untilSamsung Galaxy Unpacked 2024gets underway on July 10 in Paris, where we’ll likely hear more about the upcoming buds and what other upgrades are in store, including perhaps theSamsung Galaxy Flip 6and theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.

These regulatory filings haven’t told us very much about the nextSamsungearbuds, alas. They gave us the battery capacity, at least, which is the same as the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro at 500mAh, which means they may have the same 18 hours of total battery life – unless Samsung can extend that with a lower-power processor or new software.

What’s more exciting are new features likereal-time translation using AI, but this is also expected to come to other models in the lineup, which means it’s not something completely exclusive to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

It’s the same story withnext-gen Bluetooth features such as Auracast, which are already available on Samsung buds and TVs. No doubt there will be cool new features of the Buds 3 Pro, it’s just hard to say what they’ll be, given that the Buds 2 Pro already wowed us with excellent hi-res support and spatial audio.

Samsung hasshown off a concept for a case with an OLED screen, which we’re not expecting to see here – but we’ve been surprised before. It seems like we’ll know in a matter of weeks, anyway.
