Realme 16 Pro India Launch Jan 6: 7,000mAh Battery & 200MP Camera Confirmed

Realme is kicking off the new year with a serious hardware flex.¹ As of Friday, December 26, 2025, the company has dropped the full spec sheet for the Realme 16 Pro, and it’s clear they’re doubling down on the “megapixels and massive batteries” strategy

The thing is, the January 6, 2026 launch is shaping up to be more than just a phone refresh. We’re looking at a full ecosystem dump with the Realme Pad 3 and Buds Air 8 joining the party. Or nothing. Let’s be real, a 7,000mAh battery in a phone that isn’t a brick is the kind of engineering we’ve been waiting for. Those too.

The “Portrait Master” Specs

Realme is officially bringing the 200MP club to the mid-range.²

• The Sensor: It’s the Samsung HP5 with LumaColor tech.³ They’re promising “lossless” zoom at 1x, 2x, and 4x.⁴

• The “Plus” Difference: The Pro gets the 200MP main + 8MP ultra-wide, but if you want that dedicated 50MP periscope telephoto, you’ll have to shell out for the 16 Pro+.⁵

• AI Overload: There’s a new tool called AI Edit Genie that supposedly lets you change your hairstyle in photos.⁶ Because why not?

Power & Performance Hardware

And here’s the kicker: even with that massive 7,000mAh cell, the phone is reportedly staying under 8.5mm thick. It’s an ongoing situation with “Urban Wild” design—meaning lots of vegan leather and organic silicone textures in colors like Master Gold and Orchid Purple.⁷

The Price Leak

Retail boxes for the Pro+ have already started leaking online with an MRP of ₹43,999, which suggests the standard Realme 16 Pro will likely slide into that sweet spot between ₹29,000 and ₹32,000 after bank offers.⁸
