After disappointing fans with the 15 series, which skipped the “Pro+” model altogether, Realme appears to have taken the criticism on board. A fresh leak from tipster Abhishek Yadav confirms that the Realme 16 Pro+ is indeed in the works.
Carrying the model number RMX5131, this upcoming mid-range flagship is already showing off its colours and configurations, alongside a Pro model with equally tempting credentials.
Realme 16 Pro+: leaked configurations and colours
The Realme 16 Pro+ is said to mark its return on the Indian market (and most likely globally) with premium finishes. Three colourways are expected: Master Grey, Master Gold and Camellia Pink.
On the memory front, Realme isn’t holding back, with options to suit every budget:
- 8 Go + 128 Go
- 8 Go + 256 Go
- 12 Go + 256 Go
- 12 Go + 512 Go
While the exact design of the “Plus” model hasn’t surfaced yet, it should logically follow the lines of the Realme 16 Pro, whose images have just appeared.
Realme 16 Pro: flat design and a giant battery
The Realme 16 Pro has been spotted in the Chinese TENAA certification database, revealing both its design and its internals.
A slimmer design The certification images show a flat screen at the front and a square camera island with rounded corners at the back. Although three “lenses” are visible, the spec sheet confirms this is a dual camera system. The phone stays thin (7.75 mm) and light (192 g) despite its huge battery.
Realme 16 Pro spec sheet:
- Display: 6.78-inch OLED, 1.5K resolution (2772 x 1272 pixels) and most likely 144Hz.
- Camera: A massive 200-megapixel main sensor paired with an 8-megapixel secondary sensor. Up front, a 50-megapixel selfie camera.
- Battery life: An impressive 7,000 mAh typical battery, with charging expected at 80W.
- Performance: A chip clocked at 2.5 GHz (still unidentified), up to 16 Go of RAM and 1 To of storage depending on the region.
- Software: Android 16 with Realme UI 7.
In India, the Pro model is tipped to come in Pebble Grey, Master Gold and Orchid Purple.
Realme C81: the entry level gets a refresh too
The leak also mentions a new entry-level model, the Realme C81 4G. It is said to be available in two colours (Storm Black and Glacier Blue) and two modest configurations: 4 Go of RAM with either 64 Go or 128 Go of storage.
Conclusion
Realme looks to be preparing a major offensive. The return of the Pro+ model, combined with a 7,000 mAh battery squeezed into a sub-8 mm chassis on the Pro, shows that the brand wants to reclaim its leadership on battery life and photography in the mid-range. Worth noting: we stock the Realme line-up, as well as an official charging brick.
