The bunch includes one case for Galaxy S22 Plus and the regular S22, two cases for the S22 Ultra, and two cases for Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds 2, and the Galaxy Buds Live – all bearing the Starbucks logo or a reference at some point.
Starbucks Branded Cases For Samsung Devices
Samsung’s flagship store is currently hailed by the Galaxy S22 series, which has three units that boast chip and camera features mostly. Bumping the hype, the popular US-based coffeehouse company – Starbucks announced a bunch of cases for the Galaxy S22 series and a few Galaxy earbuds.

This includes two cases for the Galaxy S22 Ultra – where one comes with a light green case and a Starbucks badge on a striped strap, and the other with a dark green case with a Starbucks receipt printed on a white strap. Both are based on Samsung’s official Silicone Cover.
Next up is dedicated for the Galaxy S22 Plus, which is a dark green case with the Starbucks logo and a tagline written as “ Count the stars in your Galaxy ”. Whereas the vanilla Galaxy S22 has a lighter green case with a big Starbucks logo.
Finally, there are two cases – dark green with the Starbucks logo on the lid, and a typical coffee cup-shaped case with latte art on the lid – suitable for the Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Buds 2, and Galaxy Buds Live.
All these are going on sale in South Korea starting today (June 28th) via the Starbucks app and its Naver store, with details on other markets unknown. Starbucks says these cases are made with eco-friendly materials, and available in limited quantities only!
A Malaysian YouTuber has reviewed the Pixel 6a recently, where he demonstrated its fingerprint sensor to be much better than the Pixel 6 Pro!
Google launched the vanilla Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro earlier, which came with a lot of fingerprint sensor issues that didn’t settle even after a few firmware updates. So compared to them, the upcoming Pixel 6a’s fingerprint sensor is a welcoming part.
Pixel 6a Fingerprint Sensor
As expected, Google launched the stripped-down Pixel 6 variant – Pixel 6a at the I/O event last month. While we’re waiting for them to be publicly available, some units made their way to Malaysia, and some YouTubers have already reviewed them!
One of them, Fazli Halim has reviewed the Pixel 6a in detail, where we spotted an interesting fact. Halim compared the Pixel 6a to Pixel 6 Pro while unlocking them through fingerprint sensor, and the results are astonishing.
Both units unlock with an under-display fingerprint sensor, but the quality of the process is largely different! From the video, right at 4.55″, Pixel 6a was unlocked instantly while Halim placed his finger, while its flagship counterpart Pixel 6 Pro took a while to unlock.
If you’ve followed up with the news around Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, these units are plagued with a number of fingerprint issues. A series of firmware updates from Google didn’t help either, making the investment into them disappointing!
Thus, Pixel 6a, even though it’s packed with weaker hardware, is better in this case at least. May Google has learned its lesson and put a more reliable sensor in it, or done the needed firmware job before shipping it – we see the budget Pixel 6a units coming with a better experience.
