Accidental Website Listing Reveals Design & Pricing

The Galaxy Buds 3 FE made a brief appearance on Samsung’s Latin American website under model number SM-R420 (for earbuds) and EP-QR420 (for the charging case). The listing showcased the earbuds in two elegant colors — Black and Grey. The most notable change is the stem-style design, a departure from the original Galaxy Buds FE, making the Galaxy Buds 3 FE resemble the standard Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

The earbuds also feature an in-ear design with silicone ear tips, likely aimed at ensuring better passive noise isolation and comfort during long usage.

As per the listing, the Galaxy Buds 3 FE is priced at $129, which translates to roughly ₹11,300 in India. This positions them slightly above the original Buds FE, which launched at ₹9,999 in 2023.

Expected Features and Specifications

While the full specifications remain unconfirmed, certifications and leaks suggest that the Galaxy Buds 3 FE will feature a 100mAh battery in each earbud and a 900mAh battery in the charging case. This is a significant upgrade over the Galaxy Buds FE, potentially resulting in longer playback times.

For comparison, the original Galaxy Buds FE offered up to 6 hours of playback with ANC enabled, and up to 21 hours including the charging case. With the new battery capacities, the Buds 3 FE may offer noticeably improved endurance.

Samsung is expected to equip the earbuds with active noise cancellation (ANC) and an IP rating for water resistance, similar to its predecessor. While not yet confirmed, AI enhancements or Galaxy AI integration could also be introduced, given the company’s recent focus on smart features.

Launch Timeline and Market Availability

The Galaxy Buds 3 FE is expected to launch in September 2025, likely at the same event as the Samsung Galaxy S25 FE. The earbuds have already appeared on BIS and IECEE certification databases, indicating that they will soon be ready for global markets, including India.

Given Samsung’s track record, the Buds 3 FE will likely be made available via its official website, major e-commerce platforms, and retail outlets shortly after the launch.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE is shaping up to be a solid upgrade in the affordable TWS segment. With a refreshed stem-style design, larger battery capacity, and expected enhancements in noise cancellation and comfort, these earbuds are likely to attract a wide range of users. Priced slightly above its predecessor, the Buds 3 FE still remains competitive in the sub-₹12,000 range. More details will become official closer to launch in September 2025.
