Samsung Gulf has launched the Galaxy Buds3 FE in the UAE. The new earbuds bring the Blade design from the Buds3 series, stronger noise cancelling, better call clarity, and Galaxy AI hooks — at a wallet-friendly tier. Built for everyday listening, Buds3 FE aim to keep things simple: easy pairing, solid sound, and quick controls that work without fuss.
What’s new: design, sound and smarter calls
Samsung keeps the focus on the basics that matter for daily use.
- Blade design with a matte, dual-tone finish
- Larger speaker for fuller sound with deeper bass and clear treble
- Enhanced ANC to cut more ambient noise
- “Crystal Clear Call” tech trained on real-world noise
- Mic placement tuned for voice pickup
The Buds3 FE keep noise down and voices up. A larger driver pushes more low-end punch while keeping treble tidy, and the updated ANC aims to hush train hum, gym chatter and office AC. Samsung’s call tech leans on a pre-trained model to pull your voice forward. The microphones now face closer to your mouth to pick up speech more reliably, so quick catch-ups from Sheikh Zayed Road to the metro platform should sound cleaner for both sides.
Tap, pinch, swipe: controls that don’t get in your way
You don’t need the app to get going.
- Pinch the Blade to play/pause or answer calls
- Swipe for volume up/down
- Pairing button on the cradle for faster setup
- Auto Switch between Galaxy devices
The Blade stem is not just a style cue — it’s a control surface. Pinch gestures feel precise, while swipes handle volume without fishing for your phone. A pairing button on the case helps jump between a Galaxy phone, tablet or laptop. With Auto Switch, Buds3 FE detect where the audio is and follow it, so you can watch a clip on your Galaxy Tab and jump to a call on your Galaxy phone without manual toggling.

Galaxy AI in your ears
Buds3 FE tie into Samsung’s growing AI toolkit to make voice the main control.
- Wake with “Hey Google” for hands-free commands
- Check your agenda or emails with voice
- Use Galaxy AI Interpreter on your phone for live listening and translation
- Long-press shortcuts for faster actions
With Galaxy AI support on your connected phone, you can keep your hands free. Ask for your next meeting, pull a message read-out, or launch Interpreter to follow a lecture or chat across languages. It’s voice-first and screen-optional — handy when you’re walking through Dubai Mall or commuting across Business Bay.
