Galaxy Buds Core Debuts June 27, Philippines Release Date Still Unconfirmed

Samsung will introduce the Galaxy Buds Core on June 27 in India, and an accidental listing on its UAE site confirms key specs. The Buds Core sit below Samsung’s Pro lineup and focus on long battery life, noise canceling, and Galaxy AI tools—features that suit Filipino commuters who spend hours on jeeps, buses, or trains.

According to the UAE listing, each Buds Core earbud packs a 65 mAh battery, and the charging case holds 500 mAh. With active noise canceling (ANC) on, Samsung claims up to 20 hours of total playtime; turn off ANC, and you get as much as 35 hours from a single case. That marks a big jump over the Galaxy Buds FE, which offered about 6 hours per bud and 30 hours total. Longer runtime means less charging interruptions during back-to-back meetings or study sessions.

The Buds Core also carry an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, support Bluetooth 5.4, and work with Galaxy AI features like Interpreter and Live Translate for real-time translation on connected Samsung phones. Touch controls on each bud let you pause music or answer calls with a tap, while Samsung’s Scalable codec aims for crisp audio on Galaxy devices. Wireless charging and advanced microphone arrays aren’t listed, keeping the focus on core functions at a lower price.

Samsung Philippines has not yet announced local availability or pricing. The Galaxy Buds FE launched here around ₱5,500, so the Buds Core could land near that range once Samsung PH confirms details.

For students juggling online classes, office workers on long commutes, or anyone who streams podcasts and music all day, the Galaxy Buds Core’s claimed 35 hours of playtime and AI tools may make them an attractive, budget-friendly option. Stay tuned to Samsung PH channels for preorder dates and exact pricing.
