The Galaxy Wearable app has been the hub of all of Samsung’s portable hardware, for a few years now. And that means that every time a new device is released, Samsung has to add support for it in this app. Sometimes if we take a very close look, we end up having the chance to spot the changes that Samsung has made in anticipation of a still unexpected device. Sure enough, Samsung’s latest Galaxy Wearable update has been dropped and we’ve managed to spot a few references to the upcoming Galaxy Buds2.

Looking at the latest Galaxy Wearable APK, Android Police was able to find references to the Galaxy Buds2. The codename for these headphones is revealed as ‘berry’ and this teardown indicates that they will be able to connect to multiple devices – that’s about all we know about them so far.

We were also able to confirm that this isn’t just an alternate name for an existing pair of Galaxy Buds series models, but will instead exist as a separate product. Unfortunately, we don’t have more information on Samsung’s release plans or possible specifications for these headphones at this time.

These will likely replace the original Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Buds Plus from 2019 and 2020 in Samsung’s audio lineup. This already crowded series threatens to get more confusing with the introduction of the Galaxy Buds2, but hopefully things will get clearer as we get closer to launch, which is probably a few months away.
