Galaxy Buds Pro has got an accelerometer!

At the time of the release of the Galaxy Buds Pro, many users noticed the lack of a feature  that was present in the Galaxy Buds+, namely double tapping on the body to control the volume. In this regard, some experts even began to suspect that Samsung simply removed the accelerometer from the new headset, although in some specifications the presence of this sensor was mentioned. The manufacturer did not comment on this issue in any way.

This is an alternative control method which does not use the touch panel, but the accelerometer function. With its help you can perform double tapping on the device, earlobe or tragus, and even near the ear. This function is especially useful in winter, as the volume can be adjusted even through a hat or hood.

The Galaxy Buds Pro’s touch controls are limited to single-tap (play/pause), double and triple-tap (track switching), and touch and hold actions. The last action is customizable, and you can assign either volume control or noise control/Ambient sound to it, as well as the voice assistant. That is, it is impossible to get full controls, you must choose one of the actions.

And just here the accelerometer comes to the rescue. Thanks to it you can adjust the volume, which means that the remaining actions can be determined by the touch and hold action of the right and left earphones. Thus, the user gets full control of all functions directly from the buds, which is very convenient.

After the update, the function must be activated in the Labs menu:
