Editorial report
Realme 16 Pro Plus 12 GB / 512 GB / Global technical sheet
Realme 16 Pro Plus suits buyers who want a large, fast display, a high-capacity battery and a flexible camera setup. Its main trade-off is the lack of expandable storage, which matters for anyone keeping many photos and videos.
The 6.8″ AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz and delivers 453 ppi. Both figures are among the best or better than most phones of its time, while the 91% usable surface is also among the best. Its 7,000 mAh battery and 80 W charging are better than most phones launched around the same time; the energy label also gives 68 hours per cycle. The 200 MP main camera has a resolution among the highest of its time. A 3.5x optical telephoto zoom is also among the best, and optical image stabilization is included.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 create a balanced configuration. Performance is better than most phones of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, eSIM, NFC, Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and dual SIM. Overall, the Realme 16 Pro Plus is better than most phones launched around the same time and has a NeoScore of 7.7. It is a particularly strong choice for display quality, battery capacity and optical zoom.
