Samsung has announced many variants updates designed to enhance the audio capabilities of their devices, starting with Galaxy Buds capabilities that facilitate communication in another language. Along with it, the company launched a new feature called Live Translate Galaxy S24 series that people can use as a translator for, say, phone calls to a restaurant in a foreign country they’re visiting. Soon, Galaxy S24 owners will be able to use their phone as a real-time translator for private conversations if they pair their device with the updated Galaxy Buds.
When users listen to the other person through their headphones, they will hear the words translated into their own language. Meanwhile, the other person can hear them in their own language through the phone speaker. The user can also change the order of speech during a conversation by touching the Galaxy Buds. Samsung says this eliminates the need to pass the phone back and forth while trying to speak two different languages. When We tested Live Translation on the Galaxy S24 with a phone call, we experienced a noticeable delay before Samsung’s computerized system interpreted our words. Still, it can be a valuable tool for travelers visiting foreign countries.
The company also announced that it has extended Auracast support to its phones and tablets, including the Galaxy S24 series. Auracast is a Bluetooth technology that allows users to stream audio from devices such as phones and televisions to an unlimited number of nearby headphones, speakers, and headsets. Samsung initially made the technology available only for its smart TVs. With this Galaxy Buds update, owners will be able to use Auracast to stream audio from their mobile device to multiple earbuds.
In addition, Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Buds2 users will be able to enjoy 360 Audio if they pair their earbuds with certain Samsung Neo QLED, QLED and OLED TV models. With this, their headset will be able to track their head movements for an immersive viewing or listening experience. Finally, Galaxy Buds2 Pro users will be able to use Samsung’s Auto Switch feature to automatically switch connections between the company’s tablets, Galaxy Books and TVs and its phones if they need to take a phone call. These features will make their way to Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Buds2 and Buds FE users starting in late February.
