Realme has confirmed that the Realme 16 Pro+ is currently in development for the Indian market. This announcement brings excitement to fans who were disappointed by the absence of a Pro Plus variant in the Realme 15 series.
According to reliable tipster Abhishek Yadav, the device, carrying model number RMX5131, will be available in multiple RAM and storage configurations. Buyers can choose from 8GB RAM with 128GB storage, 8GB with 256GB, 12GB with 256GB, or 12GB paired with 512GB. These options provide flexibility for users with varying needs.
The Realme 16 Pro+ will come in three exclusive color options: Master Grey, Master Gold, and Camellia Pink. These colors aim to appeal to the diverse preferences of the Indian audience.
Design and Display
The Realme 16 Pro+ is expected to share its design language closely with the recently leaked Realme 16 Pro images. Certification documents from TENAA have revealed a flat front panel and a square camera module with rounded corners on the back.
The rear camera setup, while visually appearing to have three lenses and an LED flash, is confirmed to feature a dual-camera configuration. The device measures 162.6 x 77.6 x 7.75 mm and weighs 192 grams, maintaining a slim and lightweight profile suitable for high-performance smartphones.
Realme 16 Pro+ sports a large 6.78-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2772 x 1272 pixels, approximately 1.5K. The screen is likely to support a smooth refresh rate of 144Hz, enhancing gaming and multimedia experiences.
Camera and Performance
Realme 16 Pro+ boasts a powerful 200-megapixel primary sensor paired with an 8-megapixel secondary camera on the rear. For selfies and video calls, it includes a 50-megapixel front camera, enabling high-resolution captures.
The phone runs on Android 16 with Realme UI 7 on top. It is powered by an as-yet-unidentified chipset clocked at 2.5GHz. Storage options range up to 1 TB in other versions, but the Indian market models focus on up to 512GB paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM.
Battery and Other Features
Battery capacity is one of the device’s key highlights at 7,000mAh. It supports fast charging with an 80W charger, which can significantly reduce downtime.
Additional features include an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and an infrared (IR) blaster for controlling household electronics. These elements add convenience and versatility to the user experience.
Market Strategy and Availability
Realme seems to follow a strategy of multiple variants to cater to diverse user segments, as seen in their previous Realme 9 Pro Series. The Realme 16 Pro+ continues this approach by filling the gap left by the skipped Pro Plus variant in the prior series.
In India, the Realme 16 Pro variants will be offered in Pebble Grey, Master Gold, and Orchid Purple colors, aligning with local consumer preferences. The Pro+ version’s expected pricing, when converted, is likely competitive against other mid-to-high range smartphones, although official price announcements are pending.
Complementary Product Line
Alongside the Realme 16 Pro+, Realme is also preparing to launch the Realme C81 4G for the entry-level segment. It will offer 4GB RAM with either 64GB or 128GB storage and come in Storm Black and Glacier Blue colors.
This lineup expansion shows Realme’s commitment to covering a broad spectrum of the price and performance range in India.
Outlook
With certifications underway and multiple leaks confirming specifications and design, the Realme 16 Pro+ launch seems imminent. It promises to combine robust hardware with flexible configurations to attract tech enthusiasts and mainstream users alike in India.
The development of Realme 16 Pro+ underlines Realme’s focus on innovation and responsiveness to market demand. Its expected feature set positions it as a strong contender in the increasingly competitive Indian smartphone market.
