It is common to see device manufacturers collaborate with large brands, companies or associations, in order to promote their products or reach more users. Samsung, for example, tends to advertise special editions of its smartphones and other gadgets from the Olympic Games or even from BTS, the popular band k pop. The new collaboration of the South Korean firm, however, goes a step further. Samsung has partnered with Starbucks to launch a series of devices with a design inspired by the famous chain of coffee shopswhich include cases for your current smartphones and even some Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 with a case shaped like a coffee cup.
The new collaboration between Samsung and Starbucks is made up of a series of cases compatible with the Galaxy S22 (and all its variants) and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip; two of the company’s most important smartphones. The covers have a design inspired by the colors of the cafeteria, with those green tones and the classic logo in the center. Some of the covers have textures or even include a kind of design that mimics the receipt of the store.
The most curious, however, are the new designs for the Galaxy Buds 2. Samsung, in particular, has announced two editions for this collaboration. The first consists of a classic case that inherits the green tones and the logo of the coffee shop chain. The second edition, on the other hand, It is a case in the shape of a Starbucks cup full of coffee.. In fact, in the upper area you can see what looks like coffee foam with a leaf-shaped drawing. Considering that one of the key features of these headphones is their compact case, it makes little sense to advertise a much bulkier one. But I have to admit that I wouldn’t mind having some.
Samsung and Starbucks headphones are actually Galaxy Buds 2
Except for the case design, the Galaxy Buds 2 that Samsung has launched in collaboration with Starbucks they are exactly identical to the traditional edition that the company announced last August. These headphones stand out for their compact design and active noise cancellation. They also have sound signed by AKG and a function called Auto Switch, which allows the sound to be changed between devices automatically. That is, without the need to access the bluetooth settings every time, for example, we have the Buds connected to the mobile and we want to watch a video on the tablet.
The Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 also have a battery of up to 5 hours of playback on a single charge. On the other hand, they can reach 20 hours of playback with the charging case.
Unfortunately for some, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 with the Starbucks cup-shaped case, only available in korea. However, it is easy to turn your current wireless headphones into a device like the one announced by the South Korean company. You only need to purchase a case with a similar design on portals such as Aliexpress or Ebay.
