The Realme Buds Air Neo shares the majority of its design from the original Buds Air. It comes in a similar case as seen and even the earbuds look alike. Just like the Buds Air, the Neo version might also come in a single colour option, which is white and the company might offer other colour cases. The case, which will also doubles up as a battery pack, has a single button on the front tagged along with an LED light, which will be handy for pairing a new device.
The retail box is also similar to the Buds Air and the images reveal the Buds Air Neo will sport a micro USB port for charging, which is a downgrade from the Buds Air’s Type-C port. Also, the report confirms, the TWS will lack wireless charging, which was one of the key features of the Buds Air.
Furthermore, the earbuds are expected to last up to 17 hours, which probable includes the juice from the case. It is expected to harness Bluetooth 5.0 with R1 chipset, similar to the Realme Buds Air. The Buds Air Neo is also expected to pack in a 13mm drivers, and low-latency gaming, which was also seen on the Buds Air.
