- Samsung accidentally published the Buds 3 FE product page in Panama
- Two colors are shown: white and a very dark gray
- The price, in Panama at least, is $129
Samsung has accidentally leaked the new Galaxy Buds 3 FE on its Panama web site, and I'm trying very hard not to make a bad joke about the Panama Ear Canal.
This isn't the first time Samsung has accidentally leaked these buds: when Evan Blass leaked images of them in July, Samsung (probably) got them pulled – because the removed images then said "Media not displayed: this image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder" which effectively confirmed that they were likely real.
As much as I'd love to put on my tinfoil hat and claim that this is a clever marketing strategy, it clearly isn't: it's a cavalcade of mishaps and cock-ups.
So what have we learned from this latest oopsie?
The new Buds 3 FE look like washed-out versions of the Buds 3 Pro, pictured above (Image credit: Future)Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 FE: what's leaked?This time the leak is the accidentally published product page, and that means we know their Panamanian price ($129 USD), what they look like (a bit like monochrome Galaxy Buds Pro), and what at least some of the color options are (dark gray and white).
The Galaxy Buds 3 FE appear to have silicone ear tips but everything else is a guess: as Android Police reports, the product page doesn't include any actual product information, which is yet another indication that somebody's hit the go button too early.
In case you missed it, the Buds 3 FE are the follow-up to the original Buds FE or 'Fan Edition'. That's right, there's no Buds 2 FE, because the also-new Galaxy Buds Core effectively take that spot.
We thought the original Buds FE were, well, OK, describing them as "the Samsung equivalent of Apple AirPods" with "reasonably good" sound and decent ANC. Given how good the Buds 3 Pro are, here's hoping some of their sound quality and other improvements trickle down to Samsung's more affordable option.

- The company will announce four new models later today
- The livestream begins at 10am ET/ 1pm PT/ 6pm BST
The next generation of ChatGPT, titled GPT-5, is expected to be revealed later today in an OpenAI livestream – but a leak on GitHub appears to have revealed everything the AI pioneers will unveil during the event.
The leaked information appeared on GitHub, highlighting the different iterations of GPT-5, which is describe as "OpenAI's most advanced model, offering major improvements in reasoning, code quality, and user experience."
The GitHub blog leak has since been taken down, but can be easily accessed via the Internet archive.
The post highlights the following four new models:
- gpt-5: Designed for logic and multi-step tasks.
- gpt-5-mini: A lightweight version for cost-sensitive applications.
- gpt-5-nano: Optimized for speed, and ideal for applications requiring low latency.
- gpt-5-chat: Designed for advanced, natural, multimodal, and context-aware conversations for enterprise applications.

We expect to get more information on these new models during today's livestream, which begins at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST.
While none of the models in the leak seem to hint at the model selection-less future we were hoping for, I'm still optimistic that GPT-5 ushers in a future where OpenAI's complex naming scheme isn't a point of friction for end users.
Sam Altman has promised in the past that ChatGPT's future would incorporate all models to determine which one can answer the user's prompt most efficiently. While this leak doesn't appear to showcase this future, Altman might reveal this innovation later today.
Stay tuned to TechRadar for all the GPT-5 news as it's announced. We'll be live-blogging throughout the day, documenting any information we find on the future of ChatGPT in the build-up to the livestream.
