Samsung just quietly started selling the Galaxy Buds 3 FE
The Fan Edition earbuds adopt the design of the Galaxy Buds 3.
The company is selling its new earbuds for $129.
Samsung is expected to launch a Fan Edition version of the Galaxy Buds 3 soon. How soon? Apparently, sooner than anyone had guessed. The tech giant has just quietly launched the earbuds.
Shortly after leaking an image of the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, Android Headlines spotted the buds listed on Samsung's Latin American shop. Samsung tends to release its FE devices around the same time in September or October, so it was expected that the earbuds would appear with the rest of the new FE lineup. But here they are, beating the others to the punch.
As you can see from the images, the Fan Edition earbuds adopt a new look this year. Given the naming convention, Galaxy Buds 3 FE, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that the design is similar to the Galaxy Buds 3. With the rubber tips included, they look closer to the Pro model than the vanilla version.
Although the website doesn't share any of the hardware's specs, it does reveal that the available colorways are black and gray. Android Headlines claims that the earbuds charge at 1W and the case at 4.5W. The website also confirms that Samsung is selling these earbuds for $129. That means they're about $30 more expensive than the original Galaxy Buds FE.
Samsung is also working on a Galaxy S25 FE. Based on leaks, this phone is said to sport a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 2,600nits. It may also feature 50MP primary, 8MP 3x telephoto, 12MP ultrawide, and 12MP front cameras. We also expect 45W wired charging, Qi2 compatibility, 8GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, and four color options that include Light Blue, Dark Blue, Black, and White.

Samsung Makes New $490 Offer To Galaxy S25 Buyers
Samsung released two new discount codes last week for the Galaxy S25 Ultra that knocked 10% off the phone and boosted trade-in prices. Now, the company is back with a $490 double promotion that gives away a free Galaxy Watch while discounting the phone. The deal knocks £150 off ($200.95) an unlocked Galaxy S25 Ultra, which brings the price down to £1,099 ($1472.31) from £1,249 ($1673.26). It's not as cheap as Google's latest Pixel 9 Pro deal, but it's a solid price drop nonetheless. That discount can be combined with a trade-in. Samsung's current trade-in valuations are surprisingly good, with today's prices beating some of the company's best valuations from June. Check out the price comparisons below. If Samsung's valuation for your used phone is decent, it's worth considering locking in that price by using the company's new store credit system via its dedicated trade-in site. These prices change regularly, and Samsung is offering to hold that store credit for five years. Just make sure the trade-in site's price matches the Galaxy S25 purchase page price. The company is also gifting a free Galaxy Watch 7 with all Galaxy S25 Ultra purchases, which is worth £239 ($289.99 in the U.S). This is automatically added to your basket when you buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the offer expires on August 12th. Both deals apply to U.K. shoppers. Elsewhere, Samsung is bundling six months of Google AI Pro with Galaxy S25 purchases, which is six months less than Google is giving to Pixel 9 buyers. The device also comes with the standard three months of Samsung Care Plus and 30% off other wearables. Expect More Samsung Deals In The Run Up To Apple's iPhone 17 Launch Samsung won't miss the opportunity to steal some of Apple's iPhone 17 limelight with some aggressive discounts, freebies, or a combination of both. Google's new Pixel 10 ad, that takes an indirect shot at Apple's Siri problems, gives us an insight into how the upcoming smartphone battle will unfold. 'If you buy a phone because of a feature that is coming soon, but it has been coming soon for a full year. You could change your definition of 'soon', or you could just change your phone.' The narrator says over cloaked images of the Pixel 10 while the instrumental to Dr. Dre's The Next Episode plays in the background. The ad is referencing Apple's delayed personalized Siri features that are powered by Apple Intelligence. They were debuted at WWDC 2024 and then used to promote the iPhone 16. But after the phone launched, the company later said that the features would come 'soon,' which sparked a class action lawsuit from iPhone 16 buyers who said they felt misled about the phone's AI abilities. At WWDC this year, Apple said that the promised personalized Siri features will land in 2026, giving Google and Samsung a huge head start with their own mobile AI systems: Gemini and Galaxy AI. I expect both companies will repeatedly point out the iPhone's lack of advanced AI tools and, as a way to entice customers over to the Android side, run more free AI subscription deals. Google is currently bundling one year of AI Pro to all Pixel 9 owners and six months to Galaxy S25 buyers. Samsung also recently gave away a free year's subscription to Perplexity AI Pro, another generative AI chatbot. I wouldn't be surprised if both companies double down on this strategy while Apple scrambles to find its feet in the AI world.

Samsung Will Reportedly Make iPhone Image Sensors at Texas Facility
Samsung will reportedly begin producing a three-layer stacked image sensor for Apple's iPhone 18 in Texas. The deal with Apple will help the South Korean company avoid President Trump's strict tariffs policy and cut out Sony as the sole image sensor maker for iPhones, according to Financial Times, The three-layer stacked image sensors enable fast shooting speeds and high-frame-rate 8K video in smartphones. On Wednesday, Apple said it was "working with Samsung at its fab [semiconductor fabrication facility] in Austin, Texas, to launch an innovative new technology for making chips, which has never been used before anywhere in the world." The statement was part of Apple's overall announcement that it was launching the American Manufacturing Program, part of a $600 billion investment to increase its supply chain and manufacturing in the US. Thursday's report by Financial Times adds more clarity to what Apple's "innovative new technology" will mean for the iPhone 18. The move by Apple will allow it to avoid penalties by President Trump, who on Wednesday announced 100% percent tariffs on computer chips but added, "if you're building in the United States of America, there's no charge." Samsung is investing billions to increase manufacturing in the US, while Sony is producing iPhone image sensors in Kumamoto, Japan under a contract with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Last month, CNET reported that Samsung Display Company -- a separate entity from Samsung -- would be producing the screens for the first iPhone foldable, reportedly to be launched next summer.
