This is Realme 16 Pro: new mid-range series, new design

After the flood of details about the specs, Realme 16 Pro returns to the spotlight and this time the design takes the stage. The next mid-range device from the Chinese company has reappeared in TENAA’s certifying authority database and this time there are also the first images.

Realme 16 Pro shown by TENAA: here it is in the first images

The smartphone identified with the code RMX5121 presents a look slightly different from that of Realme 15 and 15 Pro. The camera module appears more squared, with a dual camera and the LED flash (the “third sensor” is for aesthetics). In short, the new Realme 16 Pro will change style, and it seems this won’t be the only novelty.

An insider previews the return of the Pro+ variant, absent in the latest generation. Realme 16 Pro+ would be designated RMX5131 and should debut in Master Grey, Master Gold and Camellia Pink colors, with 8/12 GB of RAM and 128/256/512 GB of storage.
