Realme 16 Pro series is launching in India in the next few weeks, starting 2026 with a big product for the market.
Realme 16 Pro launch in India is confirmed for January 2026
Realme 16 Pro series is launching in India early next month as 2026 looks set to start with a bang. And before the products are available in the market, we’ve got an early look at the design of the phone from the brand along with leaked prices for the Indian market. Realme 16 Pro series will feature the 16 Pro and the 16 Pro+ models in the market, and one of these is likely to cost much higher than before.
We’ve already talked about the impact of memory prices on the smartphone market and the Realme 16 Pro series could give us a clear example of that change.
Realme 16 Pro+ India Price Leaked: What We Know
Realme 16 Pro+ price in India has been leaked by tipster Paras Guglani, who claimed to have the image of the retail box for the upcoming phone. He has mentioned that the Realme 16 Pro+ box price will be Rs 43,999 for the 512GB variant which is much higher than what we’ve seen the brand launch its mid-range phones before.
The box also highlights the display size and the dimension of the device. Having said that, box prices are never the real value of the product and buyers usually have to consider other benefits like bank offers and the actual selling price, which should bring it closer to Rs 37,999 for the buyers.
Realme 16 Pro Series Expected Features
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. 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.
