SPECIFICATIONS

45W SUPERVOOC Charge

Get charged from 0% to 50% in 30 minutes, then up to 100% in 77 minutes. Equipped with charging algorithms such as VCVT Intelligent Tuning Algorithm that automatically adjusts voltage and current for improved charging performance.

Equipped with a VFC Trickle Charging Algorithm that slows down charging at the last 10% to conserve battery health. FFC Charging is paired with this to improve charging efficiency between 90% to 100%. It has 38 Safety Protections to guarantee safe and fast charging from all components including the charger, data cable, charging interface & circuit, and the battery.

The realme C65 also has charging technologies that help the realme C65 learn the user’s habits and sleeping patterns to optimize by slowing down or stopping charging for protection and helping conserve battery health and battery aging. It features “Extreme Cold Mode” that intelligently detects ambient temperatures around the phone being 0°C or below when plugged in to increase temperature to at least 10°C for an improved charging experience.

Tested to withstand and still perform well after 1,600 Charge Cycles versus the usual 1,200 from most competitors.

7.64mm Ultra Slim Design (Shining Starlight Design)

The back of both colors is inspired by the concept of starlight. A double texture was created in order to create a special effect that’s reminiscent of stars shining. For craftsmanship, the phone went through 12 processes with 7 layers of a 300nm nano-optical coating plus a drench-coating highlighting process to create the starlight texture with high precision.

The phone was made to be slim at 7.64mm with the battery’s thickness being only at 4.4mm even at 5000mAh. It’s also lightweight even with a large battery capacity at only 185 grams.

The camera module’s plate was made with polycarbonate & 10% glass fiber with a vacuum-plated high-gloss process. The halo rings are made with PMMA+PC with a 150nm (Starlight Black) or 300nm (Starlight Purple) coating for the 3D flash effect that’s seen on the camera module.

The phone’s also designed with a “right angle” in mind allowing the phone to stand on its own – paired with curved edges that make the device comfortable and easy to hold.

NOISE CANCELLED! Finally, I got my hand with the latest realme Buds Air 5! Sometimes, we need our "ME TIME" and that includes listening to music amidst the busy and noisy environment of life in the City. Thanks to this new realme Buds Air 5 - the solution of silence with an elevation of sound is indeed the KEY!

Unboxed! realme Buds Air 5, Specs and Review

MAIN FEATURES

50dB Active Noise Cancellation

Utilizes dual-mic noise cancellation using the two embedded microphones (feedback microphone + feedforward microphone) in order to detect unwanted external sounds and any excess noise in the ears, then send out opposite sound waves to cancel up to 50dB.

Note: Results will vary depending on the surrounding environment; 50dB is the maximum theoretical data based on the hardware used). This also entails a 19% increase versus the previous iteration realme Buds Air 3’s noise cancellation capabilities (50dB > 42dB).

12.4mm Large Audio Driver

Having an increased driver size from the previous realme Buds Air 3, the now larger audio diaphragm now also comes with a titanium coating that is able to help produce more solid and crisp audio quality while also improving the device’s longevity of use.

45ms Super Low Latency

Allows super low latency of 45ms versus the last iteration’s 88ms. This is easily accessible with Gaming Mode activated in order to ensure a near perfect sync of audio heard to the video or game being played. Paired with Bluetooth 5.3 technology, the device can freely used within a maximum range of 10m even while moving around. This is also assisted by simultaneous transmission of audio to both earbuds via Bluetooth; paired with this is Dual Antenna Switching technology that also helps ensure connection stability. Latency with gaming mode not activated is 250ms.

38 Hour Total Playback Time

Allows up to a total of 38 hours of use with the batteries of both earbuds plus the charging case combined. The earbuds both house a 43mAh battery that lasts up to 4.5 hours with the volume at 50% while having ANC turned on. They can also last up to a total of 7 hours with

the volume at 50% while ANC is turned off. Combined with the charging case, the total battery life of the device is at up to 22 hours with 50% volume and ANC turned on; but having a capacity of up to 38 hours with the volume at 50% and ANC turned off.

VERDICT?

This realme Buds Air 5 comes in two colors; Deep Sea Blue and Arctic White. Both are very aesthetic and chic but what I like most is its sleek design - a classic pebble shaped. You can wear these as a complement to your daily outfit.

The battery life is never a question when it comes to realme brand. For this, you can play music up to 38 hours if fully charged. I haven't tried this yet in a fully-charged condition but I bet this is true - made to last!

At an affordable price of PHP 3499, the realme Buds Air 5 is the one! Imagine at an affordable price, the experience is expensive! This supports Dolby Atmos* which is normally available on realme smartphones. A truly immersive experience will shock you when you get these wireless earbuds!

Generally, this purchase is worth it! Just let me summarize with one line, "More Music, Less Noise"
