New Delhi, May 18 (IANS). Modern lifestyles run on multiple connected devices. Consumers seamlessly switch between calls, music, fitness tracking, work notifications, gaming and entertainment all day long.
According to an IDC report, India’s wearable device market is expected to record 119 million shipments in 2024, with TWS earbuds accounting for 70.9 percent of the earwear segment. The challenge is no longer access to devices, but the barriers between them – disrupted transitions, manual controls, and inconsistent experiences that slow users down.
This transformation is exactly where realme’s AIoT ecosystem is gaining ground.
realme’s comprehensive ecosystem strategy focuses on establishing seamless connectivity between devices, reducing disruptions in daily activities, and providing Indian consumers with a smarter, more seamless connected experience.
As users are investing more in premium and feature-rich devices, ecosystem integration is becoming equally important along with hardware innovation.
According to Counterpoint Research, Indian consumers are now buying fewer but better devices, and the premium smartwatch segment (above Rs 15,000) is seeing 16 percent YoY growth despite a decline in the broader category.
The demand for advanced features like adaptive ANC, hi-res wireless audio, health tracking, and long battery life continues to grow across AIoT categories.
Keeping these changing expectations in mind, Realme is going to launch Realme Buds Air 8 Pro and Realme Watch S5 on May 22, 2026.
realme Buds Air 8 Pro is designed for users who consider every environment – be it metro, café, airport or workplace – as part of a connected lifestyle. These earbuds feature 55dB Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation that automatically adjusts according to the surrounding noise level, ensuring an uninterrupted listening experience without frequent manual interventions. The triple-mic AI calling system enhances voice clarity during calls, making communication easier even in noisy environments.
In terms of audio, the Buds Air 8 Pro deliver a premium entertainment experience with an 11mm + 6mm dual-driver setup, LHDC 5.0 Hi-Res wireless audio support, and a 20Hz–40kHz frequency response range.
Whether users are streaming OTT content, playing games, attending calls or listening to music, these earbuds easily adapt to all kinds of uses.
Transparency Mode lets users remain aware of their surroundings when needed, while up to 50 hours of playback time and fast charging support ensure all-day reliability.
To further enhance this experience, comes the realme Watch S5, a smartwatch designed to address one of the biggest pain points in the category – battery worries. With consumers now looking for a more meaningful smartwatch experience beyond simple notifications, the Watch S5 focuses on battery backup, health tracking, and ease of everyday use.
This smartwatch features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with high peak brightness for better outdoor visibility, while its powerful 460mAh battery lasts for up to 20 days on a single charge. The Watch S5 also supports independent GPS on five satellite systems, enabling accurate outdoor activity tracking without the need for a smartphone connection.
To strengthen its fitness and wellness ecosystem, the Watch S5 includes features like over 110 sports modes, continuous heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, sleep analysis, stress monitoring, single tap health measurement, and 5ATM water resistance.
All these features together make the device more than just a smartwatch — it becomes an everyday health and productivity companion within the broader realme AIoT ecosystem.
Made in India, both realme Buds Air8 Pro and realme Watch S5 reflect Realme’s commitment to deliver innovation at global standards for Indian consumers.
More importantly, these products represent realme’s broader vision to build an interconnected AIoT ecosystem where devices work together seamlessly to simplify everyday life.
As consumers move into a world of multi-devices, the value of technology increasingly depends on how easily devices connect, communicate and complement each other.
With the launch of realme Buds Air8Pro and realme Watch S5, realme continues to strengthen its AIoT ecosystem to deliver a smarter, smoother and more connected user experience.
