The Realme Buds Air 2 are coming. Realme India head Madhav Sheth confirmed to GSMArena that the company will launch the next-generation TWS earbuds in Q1 2021, alongside new Realme Smart Bulbs, as part of a wider AIoT push. The move builds on a product line that already spans smartphones, smartwatches and audio gear.
For buyers, it signals that Realme is widening its connected-home ambitions in India well beyond phones. Sheth framed the rollout as the start of a much larger ecosystem play, with the company aiming to launch more than 100 products.
What we know about the Realme Buds Air 2
Sheth confirmed the Realme Buds Air 2 during an interview with GSMArena, but he did not share detailed specifications. The earbuds sit within Realme's existing Buds Air TWS range, which already includes Neo, Pro and other models.
That family has earned a following for a few consistent reasons:
- Comfortable, lightweight design
- Decent audio performance for the price
- Affordable pricing, echoing Realme's smartphone strategy
Realme recently launched the Realme Buds Air Pro Master Edition in India, showing how quickly the audio lineup keeps expanding ahead of the Buds Air 2.
Realme Smart Bulbs and the AIoT expansion
The Buds Air 2 are only one piece of the plan. Sheth said Realme Smart Bulbs will also arrive in 2021 as part of the company's AIoT portfolio. While official details remain limited, the smart bulb is speculated to be controlled through the Realme Link app and to act as a building block for the connected home Realme is assembling.
The company says its goal is bigger than any single gadget. As Sheth put it, Realme is working to build its ecosystem in India, to democratize leading technology and empower everyone's life. You can follow more launches on the Realme brand page.
What could come next
Sheth also hinted at surprise launches in 2021, pointing to a diverse slate of products. Based on his comments, shoppers can reasonably expect a mix that may include:
- Fitness bands and smartwatches
- Smart plugs and security cameras
- Smart TVs
- More TWS earbuds
- New smartphones
Nothing beyond the Buds Air 2 and Smart Bulbs has firm specifications yet, so treat the rest of the lineup as the direction Realme is signaling rather than confirmed devices.
