The Samsung Galaxy Buds Core was launched without any promotion in the UAE late last week. In terms of design, it is similar to the Galaxy Buds FE, which is marketed as Samsung's most affordable earphones.
Like the Buds FE, the Buds Core has a compact earbud design with small wings to ensure that it fits snugly in the ear. There are touch pads on the sides of both buds and ANC support.
The battery life is up to 35 hours without ANC and 21 hours with ANC. This puts it only five hours longer than the FE. It is also now IP54 waterproof, supports Bluetooth 5.4 and supports AAC and SBC codecs. This is an improvement over the IPX2 of the Buds FE.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Core is offered at AED 189 (~RM 217) in black and white. The selling price in Malaysia has not been announced yet but the Buds FE was previously sold for RM399.
