Samsung is reportedly working on ear-hook Galaxy Buds: Here's what we know !

Samsung appears to be working on a new earbud design. Leaked renders have surfaced showing a pair of Galaxy Buds with an ear-hook design pointing to a fitness-focused addition to the lineup.

What We Know So Far

Ear hooks help earbuds stay secure during workouts, making them a popular choice for fitness use — a clear shift from Samsung's usual in-ear and semi-in-ear designs.

When Might They Launch?

There's no confirmed announcement date yet, but the leak suggests these could debut alongside the Galaxy Buds On and the Galaxy S26 FE, both expected around early September 2026.

Samsung Galaxy Buds Canal 5 Price and Availability in Nepal

Samsung hasn't confirmed pricing or availability for the Buds Canal 5 yet, as the product is still unofficial. Based on the pattern of its other Buds launches, a Nepal release would likely follow global availability by a few weeks to months, with local pricing typically running higher than the US/global price due to import duties and taxes.

Why This Matters

Up until now, Samsung has stuck to two earbud form factors: standard in-ear and semi-in-ear designs. If the Buds Canal 5 launches as leaked, Samsung would be stepping into an entirely new market segment — a notable shift for the brand, and a sign of how much the wearable space has diversified in recent years, with hook-style earbuds gaining real traction for fitness use.
