Realme has confirmed that the Realme 16 Pro Series will launch in India on January 6, 2026. A new design language and advanced portrait photography are the two main areas of focus for the forthcoming Number Series update.
Realme has once again collaborated with Naoto Fukasawa, an industrial designer, for this generation. The design, known as “Urban Wild Design,” combines clean, contemporary lines with natural materials.
The use of a first-of-its-kind bio-based organic silicone material is a major highlight. According to Realme, this material offers a softer and more comfortable feel while also increasing durability.
The phones also feature handcrafted “all-nature” curves, which are designed to improve grip and overall in-hand comfort.
The series puts a lot of emphasis on cameras. The devices will feature a 200MP Portrait Master system built around a 200MP LumaColor Camera. According to Realme, the setup is designed for high-definition solo and group portraits, consistent bokeh across multiple focal lengths, and more accurate skin tone reproduction.
The series will also debut LumaColor IMAGE, Realme’s self-developed portrait imaging technology. This software is said to intelligently balance light and color, producing more layered images in various lighting conditions.
To support its claims, Realme has set up the LumaColor IMAGE LAB in collaboration with TÜV R. Teaser images showing 3.5x and 10x zoom hint at the return of a periscope telephoto camera.
The Realme 16 Pro Series will be available in four Master Design colour options: Master Gold, Master Grey, Camellia Pink, and Orchid Purple.
Recent certification listings have revealed details about the higher-end Realme 16 Pro+. On TENAA, a device with the model number RMX5130 has been seen, and it is thought to be the Chinese version.
It weighs 203 grams and measures 162.45 by 76.27 by 8.49 inches. The phone has a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2800 x 1280 and more than one billion colors.
It supports up to 3.5x optical zoom and has a quad rear camera setup with a 200MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP sensor. There is also a 50MP front camera listed.
The Realme 16 Pro+ is expected to run Android 16 with Realme UI 7, be powered by a tweaked Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, offer up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage, and pack a 6,850mAh rated battery with possible 80W fast charging.
The Realme 16 Pro has also recently appeared on Geekbench with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, which is notably inferior to the Realme 15 Pro’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor.
