Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro fall to $130 for today only at Amazon

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro are a good all-round choice for those looking for Android-friendly earbuds. Even better, if you’re in the market for a set, they’re on sale on Amazon for today only for $130. That’s $70 off the regular price.

Buy Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro at Amazon – $130

We gave Galaxy Buds Pro a score of 85 in our review (the more recent Galaxy Buds 2 received a slightly lower score of 84). Along with good sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC) and a comfortable fit, there’s support for wireless charging.

You’ll get up to five hours of listening time with ANC and Bixby voice cues turned on, and a total of 18 hours of use with the help of the charging case. Switch off ANC and hands-free Bixby and those numbers jump up to eight hours and 28 hours, respectively, Samsung claims. Thanks to quick charging support, you can add an hour of listening time after just five minutes of charging.

Samsung says the earbuds will withstand being immersed in three-feet deep water for up to 30 minutes. There’s IPX7 water resistance as well.

While this isn’t quite the lowest price we’ve seen for Galaxy Buds Pro, it’s not far off. They’ve dropped to $120 at Woot and $125 at Amazon in the past. Still, it’s a good deal on a solid set of earbuds.

Android phone location data is about to get a lot more accurate

In the coming months, Android phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 888 Mobile Platforms will be able to measure location data to within one meter (approximately three feet). Qualcomm will use long-term collaborator Trimble’s RTX GNSS correction services platform to let Android smartphone makers, service providers and app developers harness more accurate location info.

Trimble claims it and Qualcomm will improve Android location accuracy by five times compared with current capabilities. The tech, which will be available in the second quarter of this year, will enable features like lane-level guidance for car navigation systems, Trimble said. It might also help users find their ride-sharing driver more easily and designate more precise destinations.

It’s unclear whether existing phones will be able to use more precise location data with this tech. Engadget has contacted Trimble and Qualcomm for clarification.

The prospect of more accurate location data naturally raises questions about privacy. However, you’ll still be able to switch off location tracking system wide and for individual apps and delete your location history from the Android OS.
