The new Samsung Galaxy Buds model is shown to feature flat ear hooks on each earbud, which might sit inside a user's ear canals to offer enhanced grip and support. The TWS also appears with the in-ear style tips, found on the Pro models of the Galaxy Buds series. The rumoured Galaxy Buds model is also said to launch with a charging case that might support USB Type-C charging.

It might also ship with an unspecified ingress protection rating for dust and water resistance. The report further highlights that the new Samsung Galaxy Buds model with ear hooks could be equipped with support for active noise cancellation. However, the company has yet to confirm these details. Hence, one should take it with a pinch of salt.

This comes shortly after a report surfaced online, revealing the design of the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Buds On, internally codenamed Galaxy Buds Able. The clip-on style TWS' charging will reportedly feature an LED indicator on the front. The earbuds could sport a two-piece design, which could be held together by a curved bridge going around the outer ear.
