Here’s what we know based on recent leaks.

Realme 16 Pro Series – India Launch Date Leaked

According to leakster Sanju Choudhary @saaaanjjjuuu on X (formerly Twitter), the Realme 16 Pro lineup is set to arrive in India on January 6. The series will include two models, which are the Realme 16 Pro and the Realme 16 Pro+.

The tipster also claims that the standard Realme 16 Pro will be offered with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Meanwhile, the Realme 16 Pro+ is said to feature a periscope telephoto camera, a notable upgrade considering the Realme 15 Pro, which was launched in July and did not include a telephoto lens.

The China variant of the Realme 16 Pro is expected to come equipped with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, a massive 7,000mAh battery, a 200MP primary rear camera, a 50MP selfie shooter, and up to 16GB of RAM.

Realme 16 Pro+ Retail Box Surfaces Online

In China, the retail box for the Realme 16 Pro+ has also surfaced on Weibo. According to the source behind the leaked box image, the Realme 16 Pro+ will indeed include a periscope telephoto unit on its rear.

This capability previously appeared on the Realme 14 Pro+, while the Realme 15 Pro skipped it entirely (the company did not release a Realme 15 Pro+). With the feature returning, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Realme 16 Pro+ is priced higher than the Realme 15 Pro.

No confirmed specifications for the Realme 16 Pro+ have leaked so far. Speculation in China suggests that the Realme 15 series may have performed poorly in sales, prompting the brand to accelerate work on its successor.

More information about the Realme 16 Pro series is expected to surface as the launch date comes closer.
