Realme Buds Air, the Chinese smartphone maker's first truly wireless earbuds, are here.

The earbuds join the company's growing accessory portfolio in India that the company wants to further expand as we enter the new year in a few days. Realme claims that Buds Air can provide a total of 17 hours of music playback on a single charge, however there is a caveat. This backup includes the time provided by the extra charge present in the wireless charging case of the earbuds.
