Samsung prepares open-ear headphones amid Slovak smartphone sales shifts

Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch new open-ear headphones, potentially named Galaxy Buds On. Leaked images suggest a design that hooks around the ear, similar to the Motorola Moto Buds Loop. Expected features may include Auto Volume, head movement controls, and automatic voice note transcription for Galaxy smartphone users.

In the Slovakian smartphone market, August 2026 sales rankings show shifting trends among major mobile operators. At O2, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro reclaimed the top spot, displacing the Samsung Galaxy A57. At Orange, the Samsung Galaxy A57 maintained its position as the best-selling model, though the iPhone 17 rose to second place. Telekom saw Samsung dominate the top three positions with the Galaxy A57, Galaxy A17, and Galaxy A37, while the iPhone 17 Pro took fourth place.
