The Realme 16 5G is set to launch soon in India, with key details like its display, battery, design, and software already confirmed via the Flipkart microsite.
The Realme 16 is coming soon to India as the successor to the Realme 15. While the company is yet to confirm the launch date, it has revealed some key details of the upcoming Realme phone. Via the Flipkart microsite, the company has disclosed the display, colour options, software, battery, charging, and more. Here are the confirmed details.
Ahead of the official launch, the microsite has confirmed that the Realme 16 5G will come in two colour options -- Air Black and Air White.
Notably, the phone features a rear panel design similar to the Google Pixel 10 series and iPhone Air, with a horizontal camera module. It introduces a unique 'Selfie Mirror Phone' feature with an inbuilt mirror in the rear camera module for instant selfie preview.
The Realme 16 teaser shows the device in a shade of white.
The Realme 16 5G will boast a compact 6.57-inch display with 4,200 nits of peak brightness. To recall, the predecessor was announced with a 6.8-inch display offering 6,500 nits of peak brightness, which is comparatively bigger than the upcoming Realme 16 5G.
The phone is quite lightweight and weighs just 183 grams, and measures only 8.1mm in thickness.
The smartphone is also confirmed to pack a 7,000mAh battery with 60W wired charging. While the battery capacity remains the same, the charging speed is downgraded from 80W to 60W compared to the Realme 15 5G.
The Realme 16 5G will include a massive 6,050 sq mm vapour chamber (VC) cooling layer that covers a large portion of the phone's internals. The company claims that this cooling solution will keep the phone smooth and cool even during heavy gaming and intensive multitasking.
The Realme 16 5G will ship with Realme UI 7 based on Android 16, and is confirmed to offer three years of Android OS updates and four years of security updates.
Furthermore, this Realme phone will include an IP69 rating, indicating that the phone is fully dust-tight and protected against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
Notably, all these features and specifications are already seen on the global variant of the Realme 16 5G, suggesting that the India variant will retain these features.
While the company hasn't confirmed the chipset and camera so far, the smartphone is expected to include the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 Turbo chipset and a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 50MP OIS Sony IMX852 main camera and a 2MP monochrome sensor.
