The Galaxy Buds 3 will be witnessing a refresh after years of a similar design, a new leak has revealed. 

The hands-on reveal shows the new buds in retail packaging, the refresh drawing memories of the AirPods, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro even come along with LED strips on their stems. 

This isn't the first time visuals of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro have popped up, renders have already done well to leak its sleek design and new case, yet until now there hasn’t been a hands-on review like this.

Images posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Ice Universe show off the buds in their regular grey colour. 

Also on display was Samsung’s fast pairing system, which Google also has up its sleeve but it seems Samsung is not good with the feature now. Although the Samsung interface can run both systems, it might quickly get messy. 

The leaks show that the Galaxy Buds 3 Peo have LEDs on their stems, though the purpose of this addition beyond pure cosmetics is uncertain.

In another rumour-based development in the sphere, GSMArena found images on Instagram with the regular Galaxy Buds packaged in what seems to be their official retail packaging.

Though, of course, much couldn’t be ascertained from this.
