Samsung has just announced important updates coming to its Galaxy Buds lineup. Among the changes revealed this week, Samsung mentions Auracast, a feature that’s been released last year and allowed users to turn their Samsung smart TVs into shared radio stations.

Now, the South Korean company promised to bring Auracast support to phones and tablets including the Galaxy S24 series. Currently, Auracast for Samsung smart TVs makes it possible for users to broadcast across multiple Galaxy Buds via their smart TVs.

According to Samsung, the upcoming “Broadcast sound using Auracast” feature will be available on the following devices: Galaxy S24 series, S23 series, Z Fold5, Z Flip5 and Tab S9 series with One UI 6.1 or above.

This feature will soon be coming to PCs, but will only be available on Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Galaxy phones and tablets with One UI 4.1.1 or above, Galaxy Book series with One UI 6.0 or above, Galaxy Watch4 series or later, and Samsung TVs launched February 2022 or later.
