Samsung has had a bad week with an issue with their new Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Xiaomi releasing new Foldable smartphones with better specs
It's being reported today that some early Galaxy Buds 3 Pro owners reported quality control issues with the earbuds, including the ear tips being easily torn. Users subsequently noted that Samsung delayed the product’s release date on its own website to August 28 while Amazon removed the listing altogether.
Samsung has now confirmed that it has temporarily stopped deliveries to retail partners as it checks the wireless earbud.
The news comes shortly after Samsung Korea issued a statement to buyers in its domestic market, apologizing for any quality control issues with the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Samsung’s Korean statement also noted that it’ll conduct a thorough inspection of the earbuds ahead of the July 24 launch date, but didn’t mention a delay.
Nevertheless, the company’s latest statement confirms a delay in deliveries to retailers, which will affect customers. In fact, Android Authority reader Tim Furdui shared a screenshot of an email sent to him, confirming a likely delay in Galaxy Buds 3 Pro orders.

This is a bad week for Samsung. It's being reported by The Korea Herald today that "Preorders for Samsung Electronics’ new foldable smartphones have topped 910,000 units in South Korea, a decline from 1.02 million preorders for their predecessors last year, according to the tech giant on Friday."
Samsung's foldable market is under attack from Chinese OEMs like Huawei, Oppo and Xiaomi that released new foldable smartphones today at an event for both book-style and flip designs with better specifications than Samsung's latest foldables that include a periscope camera, higher display resolution, two-way satellite connectivity and more, reports Gizmochina.
