Samsung invents Apple AirPods rivals that look like tiny BEANS in your ears
SAMSUNG appears to have inadvertently confirmed bean-shaped earbuds.
Rumours and leaks over the past few months have surrounded the kidney-bean shape of the potential AirPod rivals and new evidence supports this.
Weinbach went digging in the app and found a bean shaped image attached to the reference "buds_live".
Samsung hasn't officially confirmed this new shape for any upcoming earbuds and we don't know for sure when the tech giant will release new earphones.
However, fans are hoping for their launch in early August along with some other rumoured devices.
Other rumours suggest the new buds will come with an audible fitness coach and a workout tracker.
Earlier this year, the firm filed a trademark request in Europe for wireless earbuds with the codename 'Bean'.
It's expected that they will have similar specifications to the Galaxy Buds Plus.
Other gadgets rumoured to be launching in an August online event include an Android and iOS-compatible smartwatch and two new tablets.
As with all rumours, we have to take them with a pinch of salt until official word from Samsung.
