Alleged Google Pixel Buds 3 Design Revealed in Patent Images
Apr. 21, 2020The images come from a sketchy patent filed by Google with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), believed to be spotted first by91Mobiles.Take a look at them below.
Going by the images, the Pixel Buds 3 could be more compact and smaller than the Pixel Buds 2. The fins and ear tips featured on the Pixel Buds 2 appears to be missing here.
However, do keep in mind that this is an early patent design and the Pixel Buds 3 might not look like this when it comes out, after all. We could expect Google to announce these earbuds alongside thePixel 5series.
To recall, the Pixel Buds 2 features in-ear detection, 12mm speaker drivers, touch controls, Google Assistant support, and 5 hours of playback time that extends up to 24 hours with the wireless charging case. As one would naturally expect, Pixel Buds 3 should be an improvement in terms of battery life.
Google Pixel Buds 2 got listed twice for pre-orders this year. The first time, it was listed in February on third-party online retail storeB&H Photoand earlier this month, the earbuds were spotted on another retailer namedABT Electronics. Moreover, the earbudspassed through FCClast month.
Now that Pixel Buds 2 has not been up for sales so far, we might be seeing them retail along with thePixel 4aseries, which is also expected to be coming sometime next month.
