Unless you've been living on a remote desert island for the past few months (can I join in?), you'll have seen the new Galaxy S24 series, which opened up a host of possibilities for connecting cultures and nations thanks to its growing support for Galaxy AI , part of which will also reach the next-generation Galaxy phones.
Now, you can break language barriers by using the company's Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Galaxy Buds 2, and Galaxy Buds FE alongside your shiny new phone (or the slightly older S23), with the latest update for the Samsung series Galaxy Buds.
We reported on an initial leak that Live Translate would be coming to your Galaxy Buds before Christmas, but at the time the ETA on its Buds debut was the second half of 2024. It looks like the update is coming early, in late February, to be announced. accurate. Ha voll!
Are you tired of that feeling of being lost in translation during important conversations (even if you have a decent knowledge of the local lingo)? Believe me, I've been there. The real-time translation features of the Galaxy S24 series should let you talk to anyone, anywhere, and Samsung says this barrier-free communication gets even better with its Galaxy Buds.
Can you explain something more?
Naturally! The keywords to look for in the launch are Live Translate and Interpreter. Interpreter already improves communication by providing real-time translation using its Galaxy S24 series. But when paired with your Galaxy Buds, the feature will get even better, because separate sound during conversation.
Basically, you'll be able to hear the translations through your headphones, while someone else will be able to hear the original audio through your phone's speaker, helping you feel like you're part of the conversation and eliminating the need to hand your device to an interpreter. human to another. . Additionally, you'll have the option to change the conversation order during the conversation by simply tapping your Buds, without having to access your phone to do so.
The crux of the matter? Of course: as expected, Live Translate requires a network connection and Samsung account sign-in, and Live Translate is only available in the pre-installed Samsung Phone app. It is available in 13 languages at launch, but certain languages may require downloading a language pack.
There are a couple more Buds-specific goodies coming with the update, including 360 Audio (previously supported on phones, tablets, and PCs) which will now be available for select Samsung TVs. This means that the Galaxy Buds 2 or Buds 2 Pro will also be able to track your head movement to create a truly immersive soundscape.
Then, there's Auracast support for phones (so your S24 series phone, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5 or S23 device, excluding the FE edition, can become a streaming hub, ready to send audio to multiple headphones and earphones) and finally auto-switching (aka multipoint connectivity between two devices using your Galaxy Buds 2 Pro) implemented on certain PCs, including the Galaxy Book4 series.
All in all, it's a big day for the Samsung ecosystem, especially since the excellent Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro was already high up in our guide to the best noise-cancelling headphones.
