Samsung reveals pre-order details for Galaxy Buds 2, Galaxy Watch 4
Now that we’ve officially found out all we need to know about Samsung’s new devices, the next phase would be pre-ordering and waiting for when it will be officially available. Since Samsung is a Korean brand, it’s that they first become available in their home country of course. They have now announced the pricing and pre-order details for their next-generation truly wireless earbuds Galaxy Buds 2 and their new smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 4. The pre-order period will be from August 17-23.
While we don’t know yet what the US pricing and details will be, knowing about how much it will cost in South Korea should give us an idea. According to SAM Mobile, the Galaxy Buds 2 are priced at KRW 149,000 or around $128. It will come in four colors: Graphite, Lavender, Olive, and White, which will probably be the colors available as well in other territories.
