Samsung previews sport‑focused Galaxy Buds with ear‑hook design

Samsung Electronics is reportedly developing a new Galaxy Buds model that features an ear‑hook (ear‑hook) design intended for athletes and active users. Leaked images show a relatively flat earbud body with a hook that wraps over the top of the ear to keep the device stable during running, training or other vigorous movement. The prototype, internally referred to as “Buds Canal 5,” may use either a fully in‑ear or a half‑in‑ear silhouette, and could include features such as active noise cancellation and dust‑water resistance, though none of these details have been confirmed. Samsung has not issued an official announcement, but the design suggests a push into the sports‑oriented true‑wireless earbud segment.

The leak was first highlighted by Spanish‑language tech coverage and later by Turkish outlet SamMobile, both citing internal Samsung design files. The new form factor would expand the Galaxy Buds lineup beyond its current models, offering users a more secure fit for physical activity while retaining the smart functions of the Galaxy ecosystem.
