Latest Galaxy Buds Pro leak reveals one big surprise

The earbuds are rumored to debut alongside the Galaxy S21 series next month.

What you need to know

An APK teardown of the pre-release Galaxy Buds Pro (Plugin) app has revealed some of the key features of the upcoming wireless earbuds.
The earbuds will include a "3D audio for videos" feature, which will work similarly to the AirPods Pro's Spatial Audio.
Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro will also have an Ambient mode, and a new Voice detect feature.

Last week, we got our best look yet at Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro in a 360-degree animation posted by reliable leaker Evan Blass. The upcoming true wireless earbuds have now leaked again, this time courtesy of the Galaxy Buds Pro plugin app that appeared on the Galaxy Store earlier than expected.

An APK teardown of the app has revealed that Samsung's next pair of true wireless earbuds will have a feature similar to "Spatial Audio" on Apple's AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. Samsung's version of the feature uses head tracking to deliver a theater-like surround experience, but will only work on Samsung devices running Android 11.

The upcoming wireless earbuds will also offer a new "Voice detect" feature, which will allow it to automatically enable Ambient mode and "lower media volume to make conversation easier." Additionally, the APK teardown confirms the presence of Active Noise Cancellation. Since the Galaxy Buds Pro will have a more traditional in-ear design, they are expected to offer much better noise cancellation than the Galaxy Buds Live, which are currently Samsung's best wireless earbuds.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Buds Pro at its Unpacked event on January 14, alongside the flagship Galaxy S21 series phones. The earbuds will be available in three color options: Phantom Violet, Phantom Silver, and Phantom Black.

While the bean-shaped design may not appeal to everyone, the Galaxy Buds Live are among the best true wireless earbuds on sale right now. They offer great sound quality, excellent battery life, and can fit in ears of all shapes.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
