Ahmedabad, Jan 8
realme, the most popular smartphone brand among Indian youth, today raised the bar in the premium mid-range segment with the launch of the realme 16 Pro Series. Anchored by the flagship-grade realme 16 Pro+ and the value-packed realme 16 Pro, the series blends cutting-edge camera innovation, master-level design and raw performance—crafted for a generation that lives, creates and shares in real time.
At the heart of the launch is realme’s bold promise to help users “Snap Your Vibe at Every Zoom”, positioning the 16 Pro Series as the definitive 200MP Portrait Master for young creators.
200MP Portrait Master: Every Mood. Every Zoom. Every Moment.
The realme 16 Pro Series redefines smartphone portrait photography in the premium mid-range with its 200MP LumaColor Portrait Camera, pairing flagship hardware with intelligent software for studio-grade results on the go.
The realme 16 Pro+ takes the lead as the segment’s only smartphone with a 200MP LumaColor Camera paired with a 3.5× periscope telephoto lens. TÜV Rheinland-certified, the camera delivers natural skin tones, cinematic depth and atmospheric lighting—perfect for parties, concerts and vibrant group shots. Its FullFocal Portrait Lens Kit (1×/1.5×/2×/3.5×/4×) and ProDepth Bokeh Algorithm enable hair-level blur and true three-dimensional depth across all focal lengths.
From 7× close-ups and 10× stage captures to 120× Super Zoom, the Pro+ ensures no moment is out of reach. Video creators benefit from 4K FullFocal HDR Video (1×/2×/3.5×/7×) and the MainTrack Algorithm, which locks onto moving subjects for smooth, professional-grade footage.
The realme 16 Pro brings the same 200MP LumaColor Camera and Golden Portrait Lens Kit (1×/1.5×/2×/3.5×/4×), delivering consistent, high-quality portraits with free focal-length switching—making polished photography accessible to more users.
Vibe Master Mode: Style It. Share It. Own It.
Designed for social-first creators, both models introduce the industry-first Vibe Master Mode with 21 exclusive customized tones, including five signature portrait styles—Lively, Vintage, Fresh, Neon and Vivid.
Upgraded AI Edit Genie allows voice and text-based editing for one-tap background changes, style swaps and effortless replication of viral social trends—while preserving natural facial consistency. Features like AI LightMe and AI StyleMe bring studio lighting effects and creative filters straight to the camera, making every shot instantly share-worthy.
Urban Wild Design by Naoto Fukasawa: Nature Soul, City Edge
When Mr. Naoto Fukasawa’s “Without Thought” philosophy meets realme’s proprietary “real Design”, the result is a design language rooted in “Authentic Innovation.” This vision comes alive in the Urban Wild Design, inspired by wheat fields and river pebbles—where raw nature meets refined urban aesthetics.
The realme 16 Pro+ debuts the industry’s first bio-based organic silicone back cover, USDA-certified and eco-friendly, offering a soft yet resilient texture. Its refined wheat-grain pattern evokes the feeling of fingertips brushing through a wheat field, while the All-Nature Curve Design ensures a seamless grip.
Colorways include Master Gold, Master Grey, and India-exclusive Camellia Pink, while premium touches like the Metal Mirror Camera Deco with luxury PVD treatment and the Volcanic Camera Deco elevate durability and elegance—all within an ultra-slim 8.49mm profile.
The realme 16 Pro mirrors this premium design philosophy with Master Gold, Pebble Grey, and Orchid Purple, complemented by an industry-leading velvet matte finish for a soft, skin-friendly feel.
Both devices feature IP69 pro-level water and dust resistance, withstand temperatures up to 80°C, support underwater photography, and the Pro+ adds Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for enhanced drop and scratch protection.
Rocket Every Move: Performance That Keeps Up With You
Powering the realme 16 Pro+ is the Snapdragon® 7 Gen 4 chipset, delivering an AnTuTu score of 1.44 million for seamless multitasking and 120FPS gaming. Paired with Rocket LPDDR5X RAM (up to 8400Mbps), it ensures faster AI processing and rock-solid gaming stability. The immersive 6.8-inch 1.5K 144Hz HyperGlow 4D Curve+ Display with 6500 nits peak brightness, 4608Hz PWM dimming, and 10-bit color depth delivers vivid visuals with eye comfort.
The realme 16 Pro, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Max 5G, scores over 970,000 on AnTuTu and features a 6.78-inch 1.5K flat 144Hz AMOLED display for smooth everyday performance.
Both models pack a massive 7000mAh Titan Battery, advanced AirFlow VC Cooling, and realme UI 7.0 with Flux Engine³, offering up to 15% faster daily response. With NEXT AI features like AI Framing Master, AI Recording, AI Translation, AI Gaming Coach, and Google Gemini Live, productivity and creativity stay effortlessly elevated.
realme Buds Air8: The Ultimate AI Sound Master
Expanding the ecosystem, realme Buds Air8 arrive as an AI-powered audio companion with 55dB real-time ANC, AI Ear Canal Adaptive ANC, 11+6mm dual drivers, and Hi-Res Audio with LHDC 5.0. A 6-mic deep noise cancellation system ensures crystal-clear calls, while AI Voice Assistant 2.0 powered by Google Gemini enables face-to-face translation. Wrapped in an India-exclusive Nature-Touch Master Design, the Buds Air8 blend intelligence with style.
realme Pad 3: Smart Learning, Less Charging
Built for students and young professionals, the realme Pad 3 combines AI productivity tools—including AI Recording Summary, Circle to Search and AI-assisted note refinement—with a massive 12,200mAh Slim Titan Battery in an ultra-slim 6.6mm body. Its 2.8K book-view display with A4 ratio and low blue light certification makes long study and reading sessions comfortable and immersive.
