Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy SmartTag launch confirmed

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 series is scheduled to launch on January 14. Along with the new smartphones, a new pair of Galaxy Buds and Samsung’s first smart tracker are also rumoured to launch on this day. A leaked promotional material has now confirmed both the devices and what they look like.

Evan Blass shared two new marketing images for the Galaxy S21 series that also feature the new wearables. In one of the images for the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, the Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy SmartTag are pictured below. Samsung is also offering both these devices as a free gift on pre-ordering the Galaxy S21 Ultra. We’ve already seen the Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy SmartTag in different leaks but this is the first “official” confirmation. The Galaxy Buds Pro did make an appearance though, on Samsung’s Canada website.

Galaxy Buds Pro features a design similar to the Galaxy Buds and Buds+ but with a slightly smaller build. The charging case is similar to that of the Galaxy Buds Live though. Samsung’s new TWS is expected to feature ANC, improved ambient mode and even spatial audio. The Galaxy Buds Pro is said to offer up to 8 hours of playtime, and 28 hours with the case.

Galaxy SmartTag is Samsung’s first smart tracker that has a small square design with rounded corners. It also has a hole on one side for most likely a strap or lanyard. The smart tracker is expected to work like Tile to find nearby devices, and it will possibly work with Samsung’s SmartThings app.
