Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 leak shows AirPods-like design

Samsung's next Galaxy Buds are rumored to look a lot like the AirPods, and new leaked renders make the comparison clearer than ever. The renders, allegedly found on Korean retailer Coupang, suggest that Samsung may be moving on from its bulb-shaped Buds in favor of wireless headphones with an AirPods-like stem, AirPods-like vents, and even an AirPods-like case.

I've created an image slider so you can compare one of the renders to a picture of Apple's second-generation AirPods Pro The big difference from Samsung's new buds is the metallic silver color and some more angular features.

If this is indeed a new take on Samsung's earbuds – Samsung is apparently working on standard and Pro versions of the Galaxy Buds 3, both of which have stems – it would be a big change from the company's previous design language, as the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Galaxy Buds FE were very rounded and didn't have stems.

We don't know when these new headphones will be announced, but the company usually holds an Unpacked event in the summer, so they'll likely be introduced there.
