TL;DR
- The Samsung Galaxy Buds X have passed through the FCC.
- The “bean” design may play music without a phone or watch nearby.
- It’s not certain when they’ll be released.
The filing doesn’t include pictures — the device is too small for a label, according to the test agency. The frequency data shows this is Bluetooth hardware, though, and the model number is consistent when the Buds Plus launched as the SM-R175.
Not much is known about the Buds X, although they’re reportedly bean-shaped. A US trademark application even hinted that they might include on-device music playback like what you saw with the older Gear Icon X. You might not need a phone or watch nearby to listen to tunes during a workout.
