Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 were launched at the Galaxy Unpacked event on Wednesday, August 11. The new true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds from the South Korean company are designed as the successor to the Galaxy Buds that were launched in February 2019.
They are also an upgrade to the Galaxy Buds+ that was launched last year. The Galaxy Buds 2 feature active noise cancellation (ANC), which is a major change over their predecessor. Samsung has also offered an upgraded design for earbuds as well as the case with the Galaxy Buds 2.
According to the latest report, Samsung has released a new software update to its Galaxy Buds 2. This software update comes with the build number R177XXU0AUI9 and the size of this update around 3MB, which focuses on increasing the overall user experience by bringing system stability improvements and enhancements.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Specifications:
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 come in a two-way driver configuration that includes a tweeter and a woofer. The earbuds feature three microphones — of which, two will be used for ANC. Samsung has also offered AKG-tuned audio. Samsung has provided Bluetooth v5.2 connectivity on the Galaxy Buds 2. The earbuds also have six different equalizer settings that you can set from your connected phone.
The Galaxy Buds 2 are claimed to deliver up to 29 hours of battery life — including the battery of the charging case — with the earbuds offering up to 7.5 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. However, when using ANC, the battery life will drop to 20 hours. Each earpiece of the Galaxy Buds 2 packs a 61mAh battery and the case has a 472mAh battery. Users will also get one hour of listening from the earbuds with just five minutes of charging.
Further, there is Qi wireless charging support. Sensors on the Galaxy Buds 2 include an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, hall sensor, touch sensor, and a voice pickup unit (VPU). Each Galaxy Buds 2 measure 17×20.9×21.1mm and weighs five grams. The charging case measures 50×27.8×50.2mm and weighs 41.2 grams.
