Samsung will give away free Galaxy Buds with some Galaxy S10 pre-orders Samsung will try and entice buyers to go for a Galaxy S10 by adding free Galaxy Buds as a gift to pre-orders - the new, wirelessly-charged Galaxy Buds. The information was cleverly dug up from the source code of the official teaser page for the Galaxy S10 on Samsung Russia's website, but we expect that similar deals will be available elsewhere too. The site also semi-confirms that the pre-ordered Galaxy S10's will begin shipping on March 8 as the pre-order period begins on February 20 (on the day of the Galaxy S10's unveil) and ends on March 7. It's not clear if the free Galaxy Buds will come with a Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ or with the Galaxy S10e as well. The trio of Galaxy S10 devices will be quite expensive at first. Here are detailed European prices. Thanks for the tip! Source | Via<doc-sep>Up until now, pre-ordering either the Samsung Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10 Plus would net you a free pair of Galaxy Buds. However, it looks like Samsung ran out of its free wireless earbuds for pre-orders. Instead of Galaxy Buds, Samsung now offers a $130 eCertificate that can be used towards “select products” on Samsung’s website and the Shop Samsung app. Samsung didn’t say what those products are, but we assume you can spend the $130 on accessories for your Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10 Plus. You could probably also pick up the Galaxy Buds when they go on sale March 8.<doc-sep>Best answer: Yes. The Galaxy Buds perfectly complement the Galaxy S10 experience. They sound great, provide a comfortable fit, and come with a carrying case that's portable. Best of all, you can easily charge the earbuds by placing the case on the back of the S10. The Galaxy Buds are Samsung's answer to AirPods The Galaxy Buds take the same broad design as last year's Gear IconX, but improve upon it in a few key ways. The earbuds are smaller and lighter, which means they basically disappear into your ear. They're comfortable to wear all day, and the triangular design means you get a secure seal around your ears. The sound quality is also surprisingly decent for earbuds of their size, and you can easily tweak the sound signature by changing the EQ settings. Great sound backed by all-day comfort, wireless charging, and a pocketable design. Samsung has turned to AKG to tune the sound on the Galaxy Buds, and the earbuds also come with an Ambient Aware mode that lets you select the amount of ambient noise to let in. They're also extremely easy to connect: just pop open the case and you'll see a pairing request on your phone. You also get customizable controls on each earbud, and the IPX22 rating makes the Galaxy Buds immune to sweat. A full charge gets you six hours of listening time — an hour more than AirPods — and the carrying case provides an additional seven hours' worth of juice. The case itself is more more compact when compared to that of the IconX, and it has better pocketability, a key factor when talking about truly wireless earbuds. The Galaxy Buds also have a neat party trick wherein they can charge wirelessly off the back of a Galaxy S10. The S10 and S10+ have a reverse charging feature called Power Share, and since the Galaxy Buds have wireless charging, you'll be able to charge the earbuds just by placing the case on the back of an S10 or S10+. If you don't want to use your phone, they can charge on any Qi charging mat. Get them for free with Galaxy S10/S10+ pre-orders If you're still on the fence about picking up a Galaxy S10 or S10+, Samsung is running a great pre-order promotion where it's bundling the Galaxy Buds for free with every purchase. The promo is valid for all variants of the Galaxy S10 and S10+, and the offer is live now and runs through the end of the pre-order window on March 7.<doc-sep>
Samsung will bundle the Galaxy Buds with Galaxy S10 pre-orders in Vietnam. Actually, it’s a rich bundle that also includes a JBL Charge 3 (worth $150) and a Clear View Case for the phone, that’s a total of VND 7,000,000 ($300/€265) worth of goodies. Interestingly, the local Samsung Experience Store offers this promotion from February 11 to February 26 – it’s already ongoing! Samsung is already running a pre-order promo in the Philippines too, though the gift package is a “mystery box”, which may or may not contain a pair of Buds. We do know that Samsung Russia will be bundling the Buds with pre-ordered S10 phones. Pre-ordering a Galaxy S10 in Vietnam nets you Galaxy Buds, a JBL Charge 3 and a Clear View case The Vietnamese promo is worth $300, which sounds like a lot, but the Philippines one is $590. The US promo seems tame by comparison. If you reserve a Galaxy S10 today – which you can do here – you get $50 credit for accessories and a delivery on March 8 (while supplies last). You can save up to $550, but that requires a trade-in. Details on the Galaxy Buds surfaced yesterday, which showed more internal storage (8GB), Bluetooth 5.0 and smaller batteries than the Gear IconX (2018) (in both the buds themselves and their case). The Buds will be unveiled and will go on sale at the same time as the Galaxy S10, their standalone price is still unknown. Source (in Vietnamese) | Via
