Samsung appears set to refresh its budget true wireless stereo (TWS) lineup with the upcoming Galaxy Buds Corea direct successor to the Galaxy Buds FE launched in 2023. According to a new leak from trusted tipster @TheGalox_, the Buds Core will deliver a significant upgrade in battery capacityboth in the earbuds and the charging case.

Battery Leak Reveals Bigger Power Reserves

The leak claims each Buds Core earbud will house a 100 mAh battery, while the charging case will carry a 500 mAh unit. That’s a 67% increase in earbud capacity and a slight bump in case battery compared to the Buds FE, which featured 60 mah per bud and a 479 mAh case.

Such a notable jump in internal power suggests Samsung may be aiming for longer playback times or supporting new power-hungry featuresthough no such functionality has been confirmed yet.

Leaked renders circulating online remain unofficial and may not reflect the final product.

While pricing remains unconfirmed, it’s likely to stay close to the Buds FE’s $100 MSRPmaking them a competitive option in the entry-level segment.

What’s Next?

With growing speculation and official support pages going live, Samsung could unveil the Buds Core alongside its next Galaxy Unpacked event, possibly in July 2025.
