Samsung Galaxy Buds Core and Buds 3 FE Emerge in App Teardown
Samsung appears to be preparing to bring new earbuds to its Galaxy Buds series; at least, that is what the APK teardown of the Galaxy Buds Controller app shows. The app of the Wear OS version 1.0.08.38 contains model numbers that hint at quite a few upcoming earbuds.
The numbers R400, R410, and R420 are noted, where R400 could be Galaxy Buds FE, R410 could be a new product called Galaxy Buds Core, and R420 is linked to a possible Galaxy Buds 3 FE, as reported by Android Authority.
At this stage, not much is known about the specs or features these earbuds will have. Not just this, but it is also unclear whether Samsung plans to launch both the Galaxy Buds Core and the Galaxy Buds 3 FE at the next Galaxy Unpacked event, which is set to give details about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, and possibly a triple-folding device. The company has not given any official information about the release dates or what these earbuds will have to set them apart from previous models.
APK teardowns are a common way for tech enthusiasts and analysts to learn about probable upcoming products based on code found in current apps.

Forbes' 2025 Global 2000 List: South Korea - The World's Largest Companies Ranked
The growth of South Korea's $1.7 trillion GDP has stalled in recent years, forecast by the Bank of Korea to see anemic 0.8% GDP growth this year, following a 0.2% contraction in the first quarter. The KOSPI stock index is up 6% in the past year and merely 34% in 5 years. The nation's new president, the progressive Lee Jae-Myung, has pledged a $30 billion tech stimulus package. One catalyst could be its investment in robotics, spurred by 'chaebols' Samsung and Hyundai, the two highest-ranked Korean companies on the Global 2000. The list ranks the largest companies in the world using four metrics: sales, profits, asset and market value. As a group, the 63 companies from South Korea account for $1.7 trillion in sales, $103 billion in profits, $5.4 trillion in assets and $850 billion in market value. We used the latest 12 months of financial data available to us as of April 25, 2015 to calculate the factors used in our rankings.

Samsung teases a smarter, AI-powered camera on its thinnest foldable yet
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Google isn't the only phone maker challenging Apple during the latter's big WWDC 2025 week. Samsung is also in the mix. Unlike Google, which made a few big Android announcements the day after Apple's opening keynote, Samsung started its marketing push before WWDC and continued releasing teasers after the keynote. While Google announced the Android 16 rollout for Pixel phones and new Android and Pixel-specific features coming to existing phones, Samsung's campaign is all about new hardware. The Korean giant will soon unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 — the thinnest, lightest foldable Galaxy phone yet. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Samsung posted several blogs teasing the upcoming flagship foldable in the past week, including one that doesn't focus on the design. The latest press release talks about the Galaxy Z Fold 7's camera, teasing a smarter experience powered by AI. On June 4th, Samsung teased 'the next chapter of Ultra,' showing how thin the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be without revealing the phone's full design. Rumors say the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will recycle last year's Galaxy Z Fold SE design. That's the limited edition, ultra-thin foldable that Samsung launched in Korea and China in late 2024. I said at the time that Samsung would be forced to use the same design in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. Otherwise, it would prove that Samsung can't manufacture high-end, ultra-thin foldables at scale. Samsung is now ready to tease that ultra-thin foldable phone experience, while also reminding us that Galaxy flagships are AI powerhouses: With industry-leading hardware, cutting-edge performance and seamless AI integration optimized for the foldable format, it's what users have come to expect from Galaxy Ultra. And when it unfolds, it transforms– into a more immersive entertainment hub, a spacious workspace, or a multitasking powerhouse, now enhanced by powerful Galaxy AI features designed specifically for the foldable form. On June 9th, or WWDC 2025 keynote day, Samsung followed up with a new blog post: 'Thin, Light and Built to Last: The New Era of the Galaxy Z Series.' Samsung recapped the Galaxy Z Fold's history briefly, before saying: 'This year, that journey reaches a new milestone. The newest Galaxy Z series is the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet – meticulously crafted and built to last.' This brings us to the June 11th press release, where Samsung gave us the most meaningful Galaxy Z Fold 7 teaser yet: 'Your Smartphone Camera Now Gets What You're Looking At — and Responds.' 'As AI evolves from text-based prompts to multimodal understanding, Galaxy devices are becoming smarter — able to get what you're looking at and respond to situations, 'Samsung says. 'The camera is at the heart of this transformation. More than just a tool for capturing images, coupled with enhanced AI-powered features, the Galaxy camera is now part of the intuitive interface that turns what users see into understanding and action.' AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and others brought us multimodality last year. The chatbots are able to read files and understand images you place in your text prompts. Features like Circle to Search, Google Lens, and Visual Intelligence let AI see the world around you and what's on your display. Devices like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses give AI access to a real-time feed of your surroundings. With that in mind, Samsung's Galaxy AI camera teaser is exciting. Samsung might want to combine various AI features and integrate them into the phone's camera rather than develop separate apps to handle AI requests that involve the camera. I could see a Galaxy Z Fold 7 experience where you turn on the camera and point it at something. The AI will realize that you don't want to take a photo or video. Instead, you want information about something you saw on the street. Maybe you want to translate a sign or learn more about a famous landmark or a restaurant in a city you're visiting. The AI might then offer you handy menus to save information to your calendar, translate text, or search the web for the product you just saw in a store. While I'm speculating here, it seems inevitable that this will be the future camera experience for other devices, too. A smarter camera app could automatically determine whether you intend to capture content or if you're seeking assistance. The Galaxy Z Fold 7's design might be perfect for such camera AI experiences. Unfold the phone, and the camera app can occupy half of the available real estate, while the Galaxy AI chatbot takes over the other half. Unsurprisingly, Samsung teases that the phone's form factor will come in handy when dealing with a smarter camera. Also, Samsung says the camera experience will be private: When paired with the flexible, expansive screen of a foldable, this experience becomes even more powerful, dynamic and immersive. Because innovation means nothing without trust, privacy is built into every layer helping to ensure that data is protected at all times. It's unclear when the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will launch, but it's safe to expect an Unpacked event next month.

Deal: Your Samsung Galaxy Ring purchase comes with a free $100 gift card!
Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority If you've been looking to get a Samsung Galaxy Ring, today is your lucky day. While released nearly a year ago, this accessory is very rarely on sale. There's no discount on it right now, but you can get a free $100 gift card with your purchase. Get the Samsung Galaxy Ring with a $100 gift card for $399.99 ($100 off) This offer is available from Amazon, so the free gift card is for use exclusively with the popular online retailer. The sale applies to all color versions available: Black, Gold, and Silver. Samsung Galaxy Ring with $100 gift card Samsung Galaxy Ring with $100 gift card Fancy Titanium ring, with fancy sensors The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a leap into a new device segment for Samsung. Available in nine sizes 5 through 13, this jewelry-inspired wearable is packed with sensors to track your health and fitness, and some basic controls for your smartphone. Designed for 24/7 wear. See price at Amazon Save $100.00 Limited Time Deal! While we can argue the Samsung Galaxy Ring is the best wearable ring, it is also quite pricey at a cent under $400. I don't feel comfortable dropping four Benjamins on a wearable, but this free $100 gift card makes the offer more enticing. I use Amazon all the time, anyway (even for groceries), so to me it is definitely a nice incentive. Something I really like about the Samsung Galaxy Ring is that it is made to go unnoticed, really. It doesn't look like a high-tech product, featuring a sleek design with a minimalist touch. It's far more than a simple band, though. This is made of titanium, making it both light and resistant. It's only 7mm wide, and 2.6mm thick. Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Of course, there is much more to the Samsung Galaxy Ring than its awesome design. It has features to throw around! This accessory can measure your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, sleep, and even track your activity. Get this: it can even help women predict their menstrual cycles. As if all the health features weren't enough, the Samsung Galaxy Ring even gets some smart home functionality. It integrates with Samsung SmartThings, so you can use it to control your smart home devices. For example, you can program it to turn the lights off when it detects you are asleep. Pretty nice, right?! You can use it with any Android device, but some features do require a Samsung device. This is why we mostly recommend it to those well invested in the Samsung ecosystem. If you're part of the Sammy crew, though, you'll be glad to know it requires no subscription, while many of the competitors do. Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority The battery life is pretty nice at about four days per charge, and you can charge it on the go using the case. Make sure to act quickly if you've been considering getting a Samsung Galaxy Ring. Again, this wearable rarely goes on sale, and we're not sure how long this offer will last. It has been a week since we first reported it already! Oh, and make sure to get the right size for your finger. Samsung has a guide to help you figure out what size will work best for you and your Samsung Galaxy Ring.
