Realme 16 Pro India Launch Date Leaked: Storage Options, Colours and Key Features
Realme is gearing up for what could be its first big smartphone launch of 2025, and the spotlight is firmly on the upcoming Realme 16 Pro series. While the company has not officially confirmed anything yet, multiple leaks have started painting a clear picture of what to expect from the Realme 16 Pro and Realme 16 Pro Plus.
India launch expected on 6 January
Tipster Sanju Choudhary claims the Realme 16 Pro series is set to make its India debut on 6 January. If this information is accurate, it would put the launch slightly ahead of Realme’s usual first-quarter refresh timeline. Choudhary also suggests that the Realme 16 Pro may start with an 8GB RAM and 128GB storage base variant, making it an accessible entry option for buyers. Since Realme has not confirmed these details, the leaked information should still be viewed with caution.
Multiple storage options and new colours
Another leak from X user Anvin (@ZionsAnvin) states that the Realme 16 Pro will launch in four RAM and storage options: 8GB plus 128GB, 8GB plus 256GB, 12GB plus 256GB and 12GB plus 512GB.
The device is also rumoured to come in grey, gold and purple colour choices, shifting away from the Realme 15 Pro’s Flowing Silver, Silk Purple and Velvet Green finishes.
As for the Realme 16 Pro Plus, early leaks suggest it could feature a telephoto camera, although there are no solid details yet.
Display and performance expectations
The Realme 16 Pro is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a super-smooth 144Hz refresh rate. If this turns out to be true, the display performance will be similar to last year’s 15 Pro and continue Realme’s focus on vibrant and responsive visuals.
Major camera upgrade on the cards
Leaks indicate that Realme may significantly boost its camera hardware this year. The Realme 16 Pro is expected to offer a dual rear camera setup with a 200 megapixel primary sensor paired with an 8 megapixel secondary lens. This would be a major upgrade from the 15 Pro’s dual 50 megapixel configuration.
On the front, a 50 megapixel selfie camera is expected, which could mean sharper selfies and clearer video calling quality.
Slim build despite large battery
Early measurements suggest the Realme 16 Pro might come in at 162.6 x 77.6 x 7.75 mm and weigh around 192 grams. If these leaked figures are accurate, the phone could offer a slim and comfortable profile while still managing to house a sizeable battery.
