Realme 16 Pro most likely gets a textured panel along with a matte finish over glass which should give it the premium touch. The company is going to use a Snapdragon chipset which could be the 7 Gen 4 series or even the 8 Gen 5 if the product is really eyeing that segment. The camera layout seems to have been borrowed from the OnePlus 15, except the orientation has been changed by Realme for its device.

The company is offering Realme UI 7 based on Android 16 with the 16 Pro that is promised to get 3 OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches. The software will also have AI features integrated with the likes of AI Edit genie 2.0 to create and edit images.
The segment is also getting another strong product early next year in the form of Redmi Note 15 and it is launching in India soon. The new phone has been teased this week as Xiaomi looks to start 2026 with a big launch within the first week itself. The Redmi Note 15 series made its debut in China but we can expect Xiaomi to make some tweaks for the Indian model.
