Alongside the Galaxy S20 flagship series, Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy Buds+, an upgraded version of its original Galaxy Buds, at today’s Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco. The Galaxy Buds+ bring along a bigger battery, enhanced audio experience, and improved connectivity for an additional $20 as compared to its predecessor.
Starting off with the design, Samsung hasn’t changed a lot and the Galaxy Buds+ look almost exactly the same as their first-gen counterparts. The earbuds size remains unchanged in size but you now get a bigger battery and an extra speaker, which is quite amazing.
The biggest highlight of the new Galaxy Buds+ is the bigger battery inside both the earbuds and charging case. Each earbud now includes an 85mAh battery in contrast to the 58mAh battery in the first-gen Galaxy Buds. This almost doubles the music playback time to 11 hours, which can be increased up to 22 hours when coupled with the charging case (270mAh battery). They support wireless charging and can be charged by placing on your new Galaxy S20 series phones.
In line with the leaks prior to today’s official launch, the Galaxy Buds+ has been priced at $149. This means you will only have to shell out an additional $20 to get upgraded audio and improved battery life as compared to its predecessors.
