TL;DR
- Leaked renders show Samsung’s upcoming “Galaxy Buds On” (codenamed “Able”) featuring a cuff-style, open-ear design with two bulbs joined by an arched bridge.
- The leak also shows off features like head gesture call controls, Auto Volume adjustment, quick voice memo recording with Bixby transcription, and playback pausing during sleep.
- The earbuds will likely omit Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) and 360 Audio with head tracking, and are expected to launch in Q4 2026.
Samsung is gearing up to jump into the clip-on open-ear earbuds market, and we now have our clearest look yet at the upcoming hardware. Codenamed “Able,” the earbuds have surfaced in several recent leaks, with evidence suggesting Samsung may settle on the Galaxy Buds On branding. Now, a new report comes bearing actual renders of the earbuds, along with an array of software features heading our way.
SammyGuru spotted several renders for the Galaxy Buds On within an internal build of the Buds Manager app. In these renders, the Galaxy Buds On feature a clip-on cuff design reminiscent of the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds and HUAWEI FreeClip.
