New Delhi, May 13, 2025 — Samsung appears to be preparing for the launch of its next-generation affordable true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds in India. The upcoming model, likely to be called the Samsung Galaxy Buds Core, has been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification portal, indicating an imminent debut in the country.
📲 Samsung Galaxy Buds Core: BIS Certification Confirms India Launch
The Samsung Galaxy Buds Core, carrying model number SM-R410, has surfaced on the BIS database, as first reported by 91Mobiles. This development confirms the India-bound availability of the earbuds, although no specifications have been revealed in the listing.
The earbuds are expected to serve as the successor to the Galaxy Buds FE, which launched in October 2023 at a price of ₹9,999, positioning the new model as Samsung’s most affordable TWS offering.
In a separate listing last month, the charging case for the Buds Core, with model number EP-QR410, was also sighted on BIS, further reinforcing the possibility of an upcoming launch.
⌛ Expected Timeline and Launch Event
While Samsung has not confirmed the launch date, industry insiders suggest that the Buds Core may debut alongside the Galaxy Z Flip FE during the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2025. Reports claim that development is already at an advanced stage and that the company is actively testing firmware for the earbuds.
🎧 What to Expect: Galaxy Buds Core vs Buds FE
The Galaxy Buds FE, launched nearly two years ago, offered Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), touch controls, automatic device switching, and IPX2 water resistance. They delivered up to 6 hours of playback with ANC on, and up to 21 hours with the charging case and ANC off.
While specs of the Buds Core are still under wraps, they are expected to carry refinements over the Buds FE, potentially offering improved ANC performance, longer battery life, and enhanced connectivity features — all while retaining a budget-friendly price tag.
