The Galaxy Buds 2 will be available in at least four color options: black, white, purple, and green. Interestingly, the green color option for the Galaxy Buds 2 has the same color code as the Galaxy Z Fold 3's green flavor. SamMobile exclusively revealed a few weeks ago that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will launch in at least two color options: black and green.
Samsung hasn't had a proper sequel to the original Galaxy Buds yet. Granted, the Galaxy Buds+ are technically a sequel, but they're more of an incremental upgrade. The Galaxy Buds Live are in their own niche, and the Galaxy Buds Pro are more of a first entry to the Pro-labeled series. The model number says as much, given that most Galaxy Buds variants have a similar ‘SM-R17x' model number, whereas the Galaxy Buds Pro are known as the SM-R190.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Buds 2 are said to carry model number SM-R177. With that in mind, it's possible that the new earbuds will be priced around $170 instead of $200, with Samsung reserving the higher price for the Pro series. This is just a wild guess based on the leaked model numbers, but the Galaxy Buds 2 are expected to hit the stage in July or August, so we should be finding out more about them soon enough. Stay tuned.
