It's a widely accepted tradition now that with every new Samsung Galaxy smartphone, we can expect to see a fresh set of true wireless Galaxy in-ears. In 2019, the inaugural Galaxy Buds were launched alongside the Galaxy S10. In 2020, Samsung bundled the Galaxy Buds+ with Galaxy S20 Plus pre-orders, while the bean-shaped Galaxy Buds Live shipped with the Galaxy Note 20 smartphone. 

Now, hot on the heels of new leaks suggesting the Galaxy S21 smartphone is already in production, Samsung has filed a new trademark application with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) – and another in the US, with the USPTO – for a new product: the "Galaxy Buds Beyond".

The applications, filed on 29th October and first spotted by 9to5Mac sadly don't offer much more information than the new name – so we can't be 100 per cent sure that Samsung's Galaxy Buds Beyond will actually exist. Then again, there's the 'Buds' name, and the new S21 lineup tipped for January, so we can make a fairly well-informed guess that some new wireless earbuds are in the pipeline.
