Samsung will reportedly announce its next pair of true wireless earbuds in July.

The Korean giant's rumoured, bean-shaped buds - which would perhaps succeed the February-launched Galaxy Buds+ - will be called the Galaxy Buds Live, according to SamMobile. 

The specialist Samsung site has reported that the Galaxy Buds Live will be announced alongside the Galaxy Watch 3 in the build up to Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event, which is rumoured to take place on 5th August. Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 phones. 

It's presumed the new Galaxy Buds Live will be offered for free or at a discount with pre-orders of the new Samsung phones, as the Galaxy Buds+ were with Galaxy S20 Series pre-orders.
