Samsung, a well-known name in the audio space, has been offering TWS earphones across various price ranges under its popular Galaxy Buds lineup. Now, it seems as if the brand is set to extend its lineup with two new devices: the Galaxy Buds Core and Galaxy Buds 3 FE.
This information comes from an APK teardown of the most recent Galaxy Buds Controller app (v1.0.08.38) for Wear OS, according to Android Authority. The two are intended to be cheaper alternatives to the regular Galaxy Buds 3, potentially making them more accessible options.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Core and Buds 3 FE Leak via APK Teardown, India Launch Likely with Foldables
According to the teardown, the Samsung Galaxy Buds Core carries the model number R410XX, while the Galaxy Buds 3 FE is marked as R520XX. The rumored design details were found with the earlier-published Galaxy Buds FE, model number R400XX, making it possible that the new Buds Core could be the successor to the Buds FE. The same model number for the Galaxy Buds Core (SM-R410) has also been spotted in BIS and TDRA certifications in the last few weeks, which further increases the possibility of an imminent launch.
FCCAs for the official specifications, the FCC filing also indicates that the Galaxy Buds Core will pack a 500mAh case battery, along with 200mAh batteries in the earbuds, which is a bit larger than the 479mAh battery in last year’s Galaxy Buds FE. Connectivity may support dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0+ support for even better connectivity.
With Samsung’s next big hardware event expected to showcase the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and other foldables in the coming weeks, it’s highly probable these earbuds will debut at the same event. For context, the Galaxy Buds FE were launched in India at ₹9,999, featuring ANC, Ambient Mode, six microphones, and Galaxy AI features like Bixby voice support and live translation. The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Buds Core is likely to launch around the same ₹9,000–₹10,000 price range, possibly offering enhanced sound quality and smarter features.
