Samsung’s Galaxy Buds lineup has consistently been the preferred choice for Galaxy users due to their seamless integration within the ecosystem. Adding to this convenience is an AI-driven update that introduces real-time translation capabilities to the Galaxy Buds series. Additionally, users can now enjoy Android’s auto-switching feature when utilizing multiple devices with their Galaxy Buds.
In 2024, Samsung has emphasized the integration of AI across its products. The Galaxy S24 series exemplifies this focus by incorporating significant productivity enhancements that leverage a dedicated SoC for efficient on-board artificial processing.
The recent update for the Galaxy Buds aligns the earbud range more closely with the capabilities of the S24 series. These enhancements are expected to be exclusive to Galaxy devices and specifically cater to users who pair their Buds with Samsung phones and tablets.
A standout feature of the update is Samsung’s interpreter tool, reminiscent of the Live Translate function on the Galaxy S24. This innovative feature enables users to engage in seamless phone conversations with individuals speaking different languages. With the AI-powered interpreter mode on the Galaxy Buds, users can wear the earbuds while the other party listens to translated speech through a Galaxy phone, ensuring smooth communication across languages.
Furthermore, Samsung is introducing the auto-switch feature to the Galaxy Buds series, streamlining the Bluetooth multi-pairing experience. This functionality automatically switches the audio output between two connected devices when a phone call is received, eliminating the need for manual intervention and ensuring uninterrupted communication.
The update also encompasses Samsung’s Auracast feature and 360 audio support for an immersive audio experience, particularly when connected to TVs. Auracast enables multiple devices to sync with a single audio source, allowing Samsung phones and tablets to stream audio to multiple pairs of Galaxy Buds. Additionally, the 360-degree audio feature enhances the listening experience on TVs, delivering virtual surround sound through Galaxy Buds.
Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Buds 2, and Buds FE will receive this comprehensive update by late February, promising an imminent rollout within days.
