Manufacturer (Samsung, describing an event with GN hearing aids and Samsung earbuds)

Summary

Samsung's cathedral event announcement includes separate lists of phones acting as Auracast assistants and transmitters, with One UI requirements.

Key findings

  • Describes a St Paul's Cathedral event using broadcasts received directly by Galaxy Buds3 Pro or GN hearing aids. It reports a pilot on 1 May and an event planned for 16 May 2025, without a participant count or quantitative listening results.
  • Footnote 5 lists Auracast assistant support with One UI 6.1 or later for Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra; S24, S24+, S24 Ultra, S24 FE; S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, S23 FE; Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, Z Fold4, Z Flip4; A56, A55, A54, A36; and XCover7 Pro. Tablets are also listed.
  • Footnote 4 separately lists transmitter support, excluding S23 FE and omitting several assistant-listed phones. Assistant capability and transmission capability therefore have different model lists.
  • Footnote 6 names Galaxy Buds3, Buds3 Pro and Buds2 Pro as receivers. The phone lists identify assistant or transmitter roles, without establishing phone-local reception and playback of broadcast audio.

Limits

Manufacturer promotional material with a compatibility footnote, not an independent venue test. The event uses GN hearing aids but does not identify their models or test every listed assistant with hearing aids. One UI 6.1 is the general assistant condition; Google's March 2025 hearing-aid announcement instead names One UI 7 and Android 15. These conditions should retain their separate contexts.
