Samsung Referred the New Galaxy Buds Live As “Beans”, Reveals Teardown
Aug. 15, 2020Followingmuch anticipation,Samsung recently launchedthe small, “bean”-shaped Samsung Galaxy Buds Live and theNote 20 series of devices. Now, although the Seoul-based tech giant does not officially call the Galaxy Buds Live using any name near to the vegetable it resembles, a new teardown of the buds reveals that the company called the buds “beans” at some point in time.
Now, recently one of the members of the iFixit team disassembled the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Live’s bean-shaped earbuds.They got a really good repairability score of 8,unlikeApple’s AirPods Pro. However,an unusual discovery unveiled that Samsung themselves called the Galaxy Buds Live earbuds “beans”at some point.
This is because, as the iFixit executive quite easily pry-opened one of the buds from the pair, he noticed thatthere’s an internal cable with the marking “BEAN RIGHT”. Inside the other bud, the cable had a marking that says“BEAN LEFT”.Image: iFixit
So,these markings on the cables suggest that during its development, Samsung addressed the Galaxy Buds Live as “Beans”. And it makes complete sense as the buds actually look exactly like the vegetable it unofficially represents.
