Realme has officially confirmed the India launch date for two of its upcoming AIoT products, the Realme Buds Air8 Pro and Realme Watch S5. The new devices will see the daylight on May 22 alongside the realme 16T 5G. The media release gives an early look at the earbuds’ headline feature, being active noise cancellation, and the smartwatch’s battery life claims and sports modes. Here’s what we know so far.

Realme Buds Air8 Pro details

The Buds Air8 Pro will offer:

  • Up to 55dB Ultra-Depth Noise Cancellation, the same as Realme Buds Air8
  • Adaptive ANC that adjusts based on surroundings
  • Dual DAC driver system for improved bass and clarity
  • AI Call Noise Cancellation for voice calls

The company claims the earbuds are designed for distraction-free listening during travel, work, and daily use. Design-wise, the Buds Air8 Pro can be seen in black and white colour options in the teaser image.

Realme Buds Air8 (review) was a great offering under Rs 5,000, and in our review, we had called them a mature, well-rounded pair of ANC earbuds with warm and engaging sound, strong battery life and offers real value at its price.

Realme Watch S5 details

The watch is confirmed to feature:

  • 110+ sports modes
  • Up to 20 days of battery life
  • Fitness and activity tracking features
  • Integration with the broader Realme ecosystem
  • A circular dial with a white or grey chassis plus bands

Realme says the watch is meant for people who have active lifestyles and want extended battery backup without frequent charging.

In the case of the Realme Buds Air 8 Pro, it is interesting to see dual DAC drivers and ANC claims. If you are already in the Realme ecosystem, then these could make more sense. For reference, the Realme Buds Air 8 launched in India at Rs 3,799 and the Realme Buds Air7 Pro launched in the country at Rs 4,999.

The launch event is scheduled for May 22 at 12 PM IST. We expect to gain more details ahead of launch.
