GalaxyBuds2-Leak

I just found a beta-release of the new unreleased Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 plugin on Samsung's update servers. I've tried to collect all interesting data I was able to retrieve.

Resources

There are pictures of the earbuds in various colors: black, white, gray/green, violet, and yellow

The APK did not contain any battery case images (except simple line-art that matches the Buds Pro and Buds Live case)

New features

  • The app adds an option to enable "ANC with one earbud". It is located in the hearing enhancements fragment; however, it is currently invisible. It will probably be available if the app detects that the connected earbuds have a certain firmware that supports it installed.
  • The app also contains code for an interactive tutorial that is supposed to help the user wear the earbuds correctly (similar to the Buds Live)
  • You can now enable/disable 'single-tap', 'double-tap', 'triple-tap', and 'touch-and-hold' touch-actions individually, instead of locking the whole touchpad.

Battery capacity

Comparison with the Buds Pro

  • No 'outside double-tap volume controls' for now. While there's still logic for it in the Bluetooth backend present, this feature was completely stripped from the UI code. They might re-introduce this later with a firmware and app update.
  • ANC and Ambient sound are available as well
  • ANC does not have the "High/Low" option anymore. You can't fine-tune it; however ANC can now be used even if only one earbud is connected.
  • Very precise touch options (read more below; they might add this to the other models as well)

Screenshots

I'm patching the app on-the-fly to simulate a pair of Buds2. The battery dashboard has been redesigned and is much simpler. Some settings like the Bixby Voice-wakeup and 'ANC with one earbud' are invisible, I didn't bother patching all of those in as well, but they exist.

The new touch options (including some info pages):

And here are some other various screenshots. The Equalizer settings are the same, and the 'Find my earbuds' page has been redesigned a little bit.
