Samsung is set to introduce the Galaxy Buds Core, replacing the Buds FE launched in 2023 with a potential price of around $100. Recently, the Buds Core appeared on Samsung support sites, bearing the model number SM-R410. Leaked battery details reveal that each bud will house a 100 mAh battery, while the case will contain a 500 mAh battery—significantly larger than the Buds FE’s 60 mAh buds and 479 mAh case. However, it remains unclear if the new model will feature the stem design seen in the Buds3 and Buds3 Pro, with the accompanying render yet to be confirmed.

In a recent update, an industry rumor has emerged concerning the battery capacity for both the buds and their charging case. According to sources, each bud will boast a 100 mAh capacity, while the case will have a 500 mAh capacity.
If this information is accurate, it represents a substantial upgrade over the 60 mAh batteries found in the Buds FE and the usual 479 mAh capacity of their charging case. It is still unclear whether the Buds Core will adopt the new stem design introduced with the Buds3 and Buds3 Pro. The notable increase in battery size certainly suggests that possibility, but confirmation is pending. Additionally, the render accompanying this information is not verified or official.
