Realme has officially introduced the Realme 16 Pro in four striking colors designed by renowned designer Naoto Fukasawa. This collaboration highlights Realme’s commitment to a modern, minimalistic design philosophy that balances elegance with personality.
Most hardware specifications of the Realme 16 Pro were previously disclosed through TENAA certification in China. However, the device’s chipset remained unknown until its recent appearance on Geekbench. The phone, identified by model RMX5120, runs on an octa-core processor featuring four cores at 2.5GHz and four cores at 2.0GHz, paired with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU.
This chipset configuration strongly indicates the use of the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 platform. Interestingly, this choice represents a shift from the previous Realme 15 Pro which used the higher-performing Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. This suggests that the Realme 16 Pro might deliver lower raw performance compared to its predecessor.
Realme has clarified that its flagship variant, the Realme 16 Pro+, will utilize a Snapdragon chipset. This strategy allows customers who prioritize top-tier performance to select the Pro+ model within the same series.
Key Specifications of Realme 16 Pro
- Display: 6.78-inch OLED screen with 1.5K resolution, offering sharp visuals and vibrant colors.
- Cameras: Primary 200MP sensor supported by an 8MP secondary camera; front-facing camera with 50MP for detailed selfies.
- Software: Runs Realme UI 7 based on Android 16, making it among the most updated Realme devices.
- Battery: Large 6,830mAh (typical around 7,000mAh) battery capacity with fast charging support up to 80W.
- Additional features: In-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and infrared (IR) blaster, adding premium functionality.
The battery capacity and fast charging promise extended usage with quick recharging capabilities, catering to users who demand endurance and convenience. The inclusion of an IR blaster, a fading feature in modern smartphones, may appeal to niche market segments requiring remote control features.
By combining Naoto Fukasawa’s exclusive designs, a high-resolution camera setup, a substantial battery, and MediaTek’s latest chipset, the Realme 16 Pro aims to capture the premium mid-range segment. Meanwhile, the Realme 16 Pro+ will serve users needing the highest performance under the same product family.
