Realme 16 Pro+ in for review | Infinium-tech

Realme made a great start to 2026 with the 16 Pro+. The phone has a solid specs sheet, but what you’ll notice first is how impressive it looks. But before we get into any topics, let’s unbox this.

The phone comes with a complete box – you get a USB-A to USB-C cable, a case, and an 80W SuperVOOC charger.

Unboxing the Realme 16 Pro+

The Realme 16 Pro+ will come in a few finishes – Master Grey, Camellia Pink, and the Master Gold unit we got in the office. It has a bio-based organic silicone back panel, which Realme calls wheat-grain texture. It looks and feels exactly like worn, grainy leather.

It matches well with the metal mirror finish of the frame. Like many other recent Chinese phones, it would be a shame to house it inside a plain gray case.

The camera system of Realme 16 Pro+ is extraordinary. Unlike the Realme 16 Pro and the previous 15 Pro, the Pro+ has a full triple setup with a periscope zoom unit.

The main shooter is a 200MP LumaColor unit. It also has an 8MP ultrawide. The front camera is a 50MP shooter. But what the Pro+ has that the regular Realme 16 Pro doesn’t have is another 50MP 3.5x telephoto lens. It allows super zoom up to 120x, as well as telemacro capabilities.

The number 7 remains the same in other major characteristics. First in charge of operations is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip. It is paired with 12GB RAM. The second is a 7,000mAh battery, which is the same capacity as last year’s Realme 15 Pro, but still impressive for a 2026 launch.

The screen is a 6.8-inch 144Hz AMOLED with impeccable parameters – 10-bit, up to 6,500 nits – but the glass on top of it is curved, which is rare these days. We like it, but flat vs curved has been a heated debate – whether it’s for you is something you can only tell once you’ve handled the phone.
