  • The Galaxy Buds Core were recently spotted in the Nemko certification database.
  • The listing reveals the successor to the Galaxy Buds FE will get a battery upgrade.
  • The earbuds are rated for 200mAh, and the case for 500mAh.

Samsung’s most affordable earbuds — the Galaxy Buds FE — are getting a successor. Based on an FCC filing spotted last month, we know that these earbuds won’t be called the FE 2, but instead will be branded as the Galaxy Buds Core. These earbuds have now been spotted on another certification website, which reveals what we can expect for battery capacity.

When the Galaxy Buds FE launched, the carry case came with a 479mAh battery, while each earbud contained a 60mAh battery. This provides about four to six hours of playback time on a single charge. According to a listing (spotted by 91Mobiles) on the Nemko platform, a Norwegian private firm that assists in testing the safety of electrical equipment, the buds that will replace the FE should have a much better battery life.
