(Image credit - Samsung) Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro were launched last July with bold redesign moving away from the rounded look of earlier generations. The new design features a stem while the Samsung Buds 3 Pro also includes a unique light strip that sets it apart from competitors like AirPods. However, if you thought Samsung was done experimenting with earbud design for now, you were wrong. It appears Samsung isn’t stopping and is reportedly working on an even more groundbreaking upgrade. According to a recent report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Samsung plans to add cameras to its Galaxy Buds. Yes, you heard it right! If everything goes right, we will soon have cameras in earbuds. This feature would bring new capabilities to the earbuds while still delivering the high-quality audio experience Samsung is known for.

Gurman didn’t share details about Samsung’s specific plans for these camera-enabled earbuds, but there’s speculation based on what competitors are doing. Apple is reportedly looking to use IR cameras in its earbuds to enable in-air gesture controls improving how users interact with devices. Moreover, Samsung and Apple aren’t the only companies pursuing this innovation. Meta is also working on wireless earbuds with cameras rumoured to be called "Camera Buds." These earbuds might let users “look at an object and ask the earbuds to analyze the item.” However, Meta has faced challenges with its prototypes such as poor viewing angles and issues for users with long hair. Adding cameras also means higher power and processing requirements, which can complicate the design. Although details about Samsung’s approach are currently limited, tech enthusiasts and experts online predict their camera-equipped Galaxy Buds could include features like object recognition or gesture controls. Blogger Sammobile has even speculated that these earbuds might act as a “stop-gap alternative to smart glasses.” There’s no word yet on when Samsung’s camera-enabled Galaxy Buds will launch.
