Notes: Different phone from realme-16 (Realme 16 5G, launched 2 Apr 2026). Launch price rows from LatestLY and Techlusive; launch bank offers cut Rs 3,000 off each. Prices were reported hiked later (press coverage hike article, press coverage shows Rs 44,999 in Aug 2026) but no dated per-variant figures read, so no current row. IP rating: IP66/IP68/IP69 stated by launch coverage; IP69K also appears in some listings. Chipset Dimensity 7300 Max (Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 belongs to the Pro+). Update policy not found. A German listing showed 6500mAh/45W, contradicted by all other sources, ignored. Storage type not found. No DXOMARK result found.
