Last year, Samsung announced disappointing news for older flagship smartphone users such as the Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9 that they are not eligible to get three generations of Android upgrades.

On the other hand, the Korean tech giant recently announced that it will deliver at least four years of regular security updates to the Galaxy devices launched since 2019, but there’s a catch! Read more here

According to the information, Samsung started sending a new software update with version number N960U1UES8FUB1 to the Galaxy Note 9 smartphones in the US. This new update improves system security by installing the latest Android patches released in March 2021.

Other than this, the latest firmware also includes enhancements for system functions as well as fixes for some unknown bugs for a better overall user experience.

Note: It will be expanded in various batches.

It is important to mention that currently, the unlocked Galaxy Note 9 models are receiving this security update in the US, while the carrier-locked units may grab it soon after additional software testing by carriers.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro reportedly features 24-bit Hi-Fi audio at up to 96kHz. The company’s new earbuds will launch next week in Paris. There will be more products like foldable phones, smartwatches, ring-style health-tracking gadgets, and Watch Ultra.

IceUniverse claims that Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offers 24-bit audio at up to 96kHz. 24-bit audio support is also available in the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. The next iteration of wireless earbuds will likely introduce even more audio quality for an immersive listening experience.

Notably, the company brought a 24-bit audio feature to Galaxy devices with One UI 4. The experience offered by Buds 2 Pro is stunning enough, but the Buds 3 Pro is going to take it to a whole new level. The new earbuds will be able to play audio with a depth of 24 bits at up to 96kHz.

This year’s premium earbuds have an AirPods-inspired design with stems and vents. These structural body changes are slated to offer longer battery life (with larger cell) and improved calling experience. The inclusion of AI will also enhance your listening experience.

Google also upgrading Android’s Bluetooth connectivity for immersive listening. Bluetooth LE feature has also been rolled out to smartphones for compatible devices. We guess One UI 6.1.1 would have notable improvements for connected device experiences.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro design is highly inspired by Apple AirPods. Samsung will unveil its new earbuds at the Unpacked event next week. Meanwhile, hands-on images of the upcoming product have been leaked that showcase the design of a real unit.

The company has not launched any new premium earbuds last year. Resulting in, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro coming two years after its predecessor. However, the delay seems to improve things significantly as there are major design and quality upgrades.

Inspired by AirPods, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro features stems and vents. It is assumed to be used for a slightly larger battery, offering longer backups to consumers. The case is also optimized to hold the new earbuds, strategically featuring Blue and Orange color marks.

Hubert Lee, the ex-Mercedes design chief, reportedly designed the upcoming earbuds. The design change indicates that more upcoming products might introduce notable transformations. The Galaxy Watch Ultra also introduces a unique design featuring the same circular display.

Besides the Buds 3 Pro, Samsung is also bringing the Galaxy Buds 3 next week. It would be available as a Standard variant of the lineup, targeting a lower-price segment. However, the product might lack some pro-grade features coming in the Pro variant.

Samsung will hold its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10 in Paris. The company is set to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 foldable smartphones. New Galaxy AI features will also be teased that will likely come to select older devices next month.

You can reserve the next Galaxy and get a $50 Samsung Credit and multiple savings. If you register for pre-reservation, you will be eligible for various discounts and benefits. You will not only get Instant Samsung Credit but also savings of up to $1500 on pre-order.
