Features that need a specific device
ASamsung Galaxy Buds+
FeatureNeeds
Original companion appsOriginal mobile requirement is Android 5.0 or later with at least 1.5 GB RAM, or iPhone 7 or later with iOS 10 or later. Galaxy Buds Manager firmware updates support Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10, or macOS 10.8 or later. Current mobile app requirements can differ.
Bixby touch activationCompatible Bixby phone and voice-command hold assignment. Assigning volume to hold uses both sides and prevents Bixby hold activation.
Ambient soundAdjust in Galaxy Wearable. Extra-high amplification is enabled in Labs. It can cause feedback with poor fitting ear tips.
Hear own voice during callsEnable Use Ambient sound during calls in Galaxy Wearable Advanced settings.
Gaming modeCompatible Samsung Android phone with Galaxy Wearable Labs. Not an iOS feature.
Auto SwitchLater earbud firmware and compatible Galaxy devices with One UI 3.1 or later, signed into the same Samsung Account. The original 2020 account pairing feature alone was not automatic audio routing.
Buds Together and Music ShareCompatible Galaxy host and software. Current maker host eligibility explicitly includes Buds+. Sharing one stream with another earbud pair is separate from concurrent connections to multiple audio sources.
Microsoft Swift PairWindows 10 version 1803 or later and compatible earbud software. Samsung Easy Pair on phones is a separate pairing route.
SmartThings FindRegistered Samsung account and compatible updated Galaxy apps on Android 8 or later. Buds+ must be charged and out of the case to emit the BLE finding signal. Saved last location can remain available when disconnected. The case is not asserted to broadcast.
Wind noise reductionFirmware processing described in R175XXU0ATD3 and R175XXU0ATE3 updates. Applies to calls or Ambient Sound operation, not adaptive ANC or a selectable wind mode.

Page 3 describes pairing memory. The old multipoint claim is not retained. Its PSAS description explicitly does not substitute for a medical hearing aid. Its separate 10-minute/3-hour quick charge claim requires under 30 percent battery and cable plus case. That starting-level note is not silently assigned to the different three-minute claim.7Owner's manualorg.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspxRead 7 October 2026Printed p36 switching describes selecting an already paired device. It does not independently prove concurrent source connections. Original Find My Earbuds on p37 is a nearby beep, not proof of a crowd finding network.13Press releaseapi.samsungmobilepress.com/press-releases/samsung-one-ui-3-1-update-brings-select-powerful-features-from-the-galaxy-s21-to-the-galaxy-s20-galaxy-note20-and-galaxy-z-seriesRead 5 October 202614Maker product pagesamsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002627Read 5 October 202615Maker product pagesamsung.com/ro/business/smartphones/galaxy-a/galaxy-a23-5g-awesome-blue-128gb-sm-a236-sm-a236blbveueRead 5 October 202622Press releasenews.samsung.com/us/galaxy-buds-plus-software-updatesRead 7 October 2026Conditions for this source feature are stated in the corresponding field note.24Press releasenews.samsung.com/uk/samsung-launches-smartthings-find-globally-a-new-way-to-quickly-and-easily-locate-your-galaxy-devicesRead 7 October 2026Conditions for this source feature are stated in the corresponding field note.30Maker product pager1.community.samsung.com/t5/%EC%9B%A8%EC%96%B4%EB%9F%AC%EB%B8%94-%EC%9B%8C%EC%B9%98-%EB%B2%84%EC%A6%88-%EA%B8%B0%ED%83%80/%EA%B0%A4%EB%9F%AD%EC%8B%9C-%EB%B2%84%EC%A6%88-%ED%94%8C%EB%9F%AC%EC%8A%A4-galaxy-buds-%EC%9D%B4%EC%96%B4%EB%B2%84%EB%93%9C-%EC%86%8C%ED%94%84%ED%8A%B8%EC%9B%A8%EC%96%B4-%EC%97%85%EB%8D%B0%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8-%EC%86%8C%EC%8B%9D-%EC%9E%85%EB%8B%88%EB%8B%A4/td-p/5238731Read 7 October 2026Conditions for this source feature are stated in the corresponding field note.31Press articlenotebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-Buds-new-software-update-fixes-major-call-issue-red-versions-launch-in-a-new-market.461701.0.htmlRead 7 October 2026Conditions for this source feature are stated in the corresponding field note.

Off is 8 plus 20, or 28 total. Preproduction test with recently released Galaxy smartphone. Exact host, volume, codec and firmware unstated.3Press releasenews.samsung.com/global/meet-galaxy-buds-pro-epic-sound-for-every-momentRead 5 October 2026Original default tests have Bixby voice wake-up and Voice Detect off. ANC-on single-charge call claim is 4 hours, matching UK API and both French fiches. Global ANC-off calls 5 hours/17.5 total and ANC-on total 14.5 conflict with French 4.5/17 and 14, so disputed call values are omitted.14Maker spec sheet (PDF)boulanger.scene7.com/is/content/Boulanger/8806090970627_f_0Read 5 October 2026Original French two-page maker fiche, page 2 visually read because fonts do not extract. Music 5/18 and 8/28 agree. Call ANC-on 4/14 and off 4.5/17 differ from global case totals and off per-charge claim. Only agreed 4-hour ANC-on per-charge call row retained. Original five-minute charge for 55 minutes of playback differs from current UK/global and updated French 60-minute claim.15Maker spec sheet (PDF)u-techno.fr/media/07/84/4f/1727495431/Fiche-technique-Ecouteurs-True-Wireless-SM-R190NZWAEUB.pdfRead 5 October 2026Updated French maker fiche retains original French call 4/14 ANC-on and 4.5/17 ANC-off claims. Its quick charge is now 5 min/60 min. Native request 403, original PDF full text reopened through web. Header IP68 conflicts with detailed IPX7 and applicable UK API/manual, so header is not used.
