Samsung
Some visitors to Samsung’s Argentinian website have spotted a surprise — a product page for new Galaxy Buds FE earbuds, along with images of a Galaxy S23 FE smartphone and Galaxy Tab S9 FE tablet. Samsung leaked its latest Fan Edition devices by mistake. One of the smartphone images shows the date October 4 on the device, which could hint at the announcement or release date.
The company hasn’t revealed any specs for the phone and tablet yet. However, the Galaxy S23 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE were apparently named on the page. This is almost an official confirmation of the new devices, without a press release or an Unpacked event.
The product page (which Samsung has removed) did share some details about the Galaxy Buds FE, Samsung’s first Fan Edition earbuds. They’re expected to have a single 12mm driver, three microphones in each earbud to enhance the active noise cancellation feature, and a three-way speaker.
Samsung’s Fan Edition devices have been popular over the years. They usually offer solid features for a lower price than the company’s flagship models.
While the leak seems to have been an error, we can’t rule out the possibility that Samsung intentionally showed off the latest FE devices before an official announcement. Major hardware companies are competing for your attention around this time of year. Just before Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 lineup last week, Google dropped some teasers for its Pixel 8 and Pixel Watch 2 devices—Google’s Pixel event isn’t until October. So, Samsung may have been looking for headlines with a deliberate leak here. But the more probable scenario is that it's another accidental slip-up for the company.
