It sports a 6.62-inch Samsung E4 display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The GT Neo 2 gets a triple rear camera setup headlined by a 64-megapixel primary sensor. It packs a 5,000mAh battery with 65W SuperDart charging.

Sheth also said that the Realme Buds Air 2 will be getting a Green colour option soon. Additionally, when asked about the release of a 5G variant for the Realme Pad, Sheth commented that Realme has no plans to launch it as of now but will evaluate the decision depending on user feedback.
