Samsung is launching the Galaxy Buds 3 FE earbuds with a new design, ANC, and Gemini integration for $149.99. The earbuds offer 6 hours of ANC battery life and 24 hours with the case. They support Google's Gemini AI assistant with hands-free access using the "Hey Google" command. The Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro also support Gemini, but the rollout is limited to Android 16 (One UI 8).

Samsung has announced the launch of its latest earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE, set to hit the market on September 4. The new model comes with a price tag of $149.99, marking a $50 increase over the previous generation. The Galaxy Buds 3 FE features an updated design, improved audio performance, and integration with Google's Gemini AI assistant.

The new earbuds boast several notable enhancements. They feature a larger speaker for richer sound with deep bass and clear treble. Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology is included, reducing ambient noise to create a more immersive listening experience. Additionally, the earbuds come with Crystal Clear Call technology, which uses an advanced pre-trained machine learning model to isolate voices, ensuring clear conversations even in noisy environments.

One of the standout features of the Galaxy Buds 3 FE is its integration with Google's Gemini AI assistant. Users can access Gemini hands-free using the "Hey Google" command, providing seamless voice control and integration with Google services. This is a significant step for Samsung, as it is the first time the company has included Google's AI assistant in its earbuds.

The Galaxy Buds 3 FE also offer extended battery life, providing up to 6 hours of ANC battery life (8.5 hours with ANC off) from the earbuds and an additional 24 hours (with ANC on) from the case. The earbuds are designed to be comfortable and easy to use, with intuitive controls and a sleek, modern design.

While the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro already support Google's Gemini, the rollout has been slow and is currently limited to Android 16 (One UI 8). It is unclear whether the Galaxy Buds 3 FE will be restricted to the same version of Android, but Samsung has yet to confirm this.

The Galaxy Buds 3 FE represent a significant upgrade in Samsung's earbud lineup, offering improved audio quality, enhanced features, and integration with Google's AI assistant. The price point of $149.99 positions the earbuds as a competitive option in the mid-range market.
