The realme 16 Pro Series establishes itself as the 200MP Portrait Master in the premium mid-range segment, combining flagship-level imaging hardware with intelligent software to redefine portrait photography. Both models offer professional tools for precise capture of every mood and moment, with the flagship-tier realme 16 Pro+ leading the way through exclusive upgrades that elevate creative expression.
realme 16 Pro+ sets a new benchmark with the segment’s only 200MP LumaColor Camera and 3.5× periscope telephoto lens, empowering users to “Snap Your Vibe at Every Zoom.” TÜV Rheinland-certified, the camera delivers natural skin tones, stunning depth, and atmospheric lighting for portraits that shine. Paired with a FullFocal Portrait Lens Kit (1×/1.5×/2×/3.5×/4×) and ProDepth Bokeh Algorithm, it achieves hair-level blur, three-dimensional depth, and sharp details across all focal lengths. Designed for parties with vibrant lights and lively crowds, the realme 16 Pro+ brings people together in stunning group shots and captures standout solo portraits with ease.
Additionally, the realme 16 Pro+ supports 7× close-ups, 10× stage captures, and up to 120× Super Zoom, along with 4K FullFocal HDR Video (1×/2×/3.5×/7×) and the MainTrack Algorithm—delivering smooth, professional-grade footage by locking onto moving subjects with pinpoint accuracy.
The accessible realme 16 Pro shares the same 200MP LumaColor Camera and Gloden Portrait Lens Kit (1×/1.5×/2×/3.5×/4×) as the realme 16 Pro+. It delivers the same hair-level blur, three-dimensional depth of field, and clear portraits with free focal length switching, letting users capture polished, natural-looking portraits at any zoom level.
Making photography more stylish and creative, both models empower users with a suite of advanced software features. The industry-first Vibe Master Mode offers 21 exclusive customized tones, including 5 signature portrait styles (Lively/Vintage/Fresh/Neon/Vivid), and pairs this with significant upgrades to the AI Edit Genie. The AI Edit Genie supports voice and text commands for seamless editing, enabling one-click style or background changes that maintain natural facial consistency, as well as easy replication of viral social media trends. AI LightMe and AI StyleMe bring studio-grade lighting effects and fun, stylized filters directly to the camera interface. With these innovations, every photo is instantly shareable and perfectly reflects the user’s unique style.
Urban Wild Design by Naoto Fukasawa: Where Nature Soul Meets Urban Design
When Mr. Naoto Fukasawa’s iconic “Without Thought” design philosophy meets realme’s proprietary “real Design,” the fusion creates visual appeal and a profound resonance in design philosophy. This synergy forms the core of the realme 16 Pro Series, rooted in the brand’s essential DNA of “Authentic Innovation.”
Building on this synergy, the realme 16 Pro Series introduces the “Urban Wild Design” philosophy. Drawing inspiration from the tactile charm of wheat and pebbles found in nature, every detail evokes an instinctive urge to touch, balancing wild natural textures with sophisticated urban aesthetics.
The realme 16 Pro+ debuts the industry’s first bio-based organic silicone back cover, an eco-friendly material certified by the USDA that offers a soft, resilient texture. Its refined wheat-grain pattern recreates the sensation of fingertips brushing through a wheat field. Its refined wheat-grain pattern recreates the sensation of fingertips brushing through a wheat field, while the All-Nature Curve Design ensures a seamless and comfortable grip from back panel to display.
Color options are equally distinctive. The realme 16 Pro+ comes in two master-curated colors: Master Gold, inspired by sunlit wheat fields, and Master Grey, echoing smooth stream pebbles. It also comes in Camellia Pink, a fresh shade inspired by the delicate beauty of blooming camellias, available exclusively in India.
Attention to detail extends to the camera design. The Metal Mirror Camera Deco, crafted with luxury PVD treatment and nanoscale coating, shines like jewelry while resisting scratches and corrosion. Meanwhile, the Volcanic Camera Deco integrates the lens seamlessly into the body, creating a sleek and ergonomic hold. All of this is achieved within an ultra-slim 8.49mm profile, combining elegance with durability.
The realme 16 Pro embraces the same design philosophy while delivering exceptional value. It comes in Master Gold, the signature shade of the collaboration, and offers a skin-friendly tactile experience. In addition, there is Pebble Grey inspired by the smooth texture of river pebbles and Orchid Purple symbolizing tranquility and elegance. The industry-leading velvet matte finish ensures a soft, delicate touch that resists discoloration, and the slim, lightweight body provides effortless comfort. This cohesive design language gives the realme 16 Pro a premium aesthetic on par with the realme 16 Pro+, making master-level design accessible to more users.
Beyond design, the realme 16 Pro series delivers IP69 pro-level water resistance, meeting the industry’s highest standards for waterproof and dustproof protection. Both devices withstand extreme conditions, including high-pressure water jets and temperatures up to 80°C, and even support underwater photography. The realme 16 Pro+ further enhances protection with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, offering superior defense against drops and scratches for lasting durability.

The realme 16 Pro+ stands out with the Snapdragon® 7 Gen 4 chipset, achieving an impressive AnTuTu score of 1.44 million for lag-free 120FPS gaming. It pairs with Rocket LPDDR5X RAM, a premium low-power DRAM that supports up to 8400Mbps read and write speed. This combination boosts multitasking, AI photo processing and gaming stability. The realme 16 Pro+ also features a 6.8-inch 1.5K 144Hz HyperGlow 4D Curve+ Display. Its 6500nit peak brightness keeps content clear and vivid even under strong outdoor light. Equipped with 4608Hz PWM dimming and 10-bit 1.07 billion color depth, it delivers eye-protective, rich visuals that make it ideal for immersive, comfortable entertainment.
The realme 16 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Max 5G chipset, scoring over 970,000 on AnTuTu to ensure smooth everyday performance. It comes with a 6.78-inch 1.5K flat 144Hz AMOLED display,
Both models share core strengths including a ultra-slim 7000mAh Titan Battery for all-day endurance and an AirFlow VC Cooling System to prevent overheating.
