New Samsung Galaxy Buds with a fresh design will skip Unpacked, but here’s when to expect them

TL;DR Samsung’s open-ear Galaxy Buds Able could launch in late September or October, according to new reporting. Past leaks have given us a decent idea about the Galaxy Buds Able’s design and other characteristics. The upcoming earbuds could compete with the Sony LinkBuds Clip and the Bose Ultra Open, which offer a similar open-ear clip-style design.

We exclusively revealed the existence of Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Able back in April. Since then, follow-up leaks have revealed what they may look like , suggesting a clip-based open-ear design for the earbuds. With Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked less than a day away, one may have thought these earbuds might appear there.

A new report suggests otherwise. Citing anonymous sources, South Korean publication ET News claims that the Galaxy Buds Able — which could be marketed as the Galaxy Buds On — will launch at a separate event in late September or October. The company reportedly hasn’t identified a specific date for the event just yet.
