Expert Rating:

8.2/10

Verdict

The Realme 16 Pro Plus solidifies its spot as a premium mid-range phone with a capable camera system, although the ultrawide lens leaves a bit to be desired. Performance is decent enough for heavy tasks, and battery life is excellent. While the software is swift, the preloaded apps and limited software support feel underwhelming for 2026. It is a good pick if you want prioritise cameras and battery life.

    Pros

  • Unique design with robust IP69K protection
  • Good camera performance in most scenarios
  • Decent performance for general users
  • Exceptional battery life

    Cons

  • Ultrawide camera performance could be better
  • Software support feels lacking for the price
  • The phone is a bit heavy
Golden aesthetics and a curved, vibrant display +

Realme has gone all-in on the design for the new Realme 16 Pro+. I admire how often the OEM experiments with the aesthetics of its smartphones, and the new Realme 16 Pro+ is certainly a charmer. I received the Master Gold variant for review, featuring a style inspired by ripened wheat.

Cameras are pretty consistent +

The Realme 16 Pro+ features a comprehensive camera setup led by a 200MP primary camera utilising a Samsung HP5 1/1.56-inch sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS. In my testing, this main lens performs very well in natural light, offering excellent detail and handling dynamic range well. I noticed, however, that the primary camera sometimes takes soft images in indoor conditions, struggling slightly to capture fine textures under artificial lighting.​

Camera AI features +

Realme has packed in several AI-driven tools for those who like to tweak their shots. The "AI LightMe" and "AI StyleMe" features allow you to recast lighting or apply specific stylistic templates to portraits straight out of the camera. Personally, I am not too fond of artificially changing the look of my images as it can feel a bit over-processed, but it remains a handy tool for those who like to experiment with different vibes for social media.

Reliable performance all around +

The Realme 16 Pro+ is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. This is the same chipset found in its predecessor. The phone falls short of its direct competitors, OPPO K13 Turbo Pro and Vivo T4 Ultra, in raw numbers.

Excellent battery life and decent charging speed +

The Realme 16 Pro+ retains the massive 7,000mAh battery found in its predecessor. Despite the massive battery, you won't find yourself tethered to a charger for long. The device supports 80W SuperVOOC wired fast charging, which takes about 47 minutes to top up from 20 to 100 percent. Realme includes the compatible charger in the box, too.

Fluid, customisable Realme UI 7 +

The Realme 16 Pro+ runs on Realme UI 7.0 based on Android 15. The OS itself is extremely stable and operates quite smoothly. I covered the finer details of this software in my recent Realme GT 8 Pro review, but here is a refresher on what is new.

How does it compare against the competition? +

The Realme 16 Pro+ has its closest rival in the Vivo V60, given what these two phones offer. Both are camera-focused smartphones with balanced features designed to compete in the premium mid-range bracket. The Vivo V60 sports a comparable camera setup, but it lags slightly behind the Realme 16 Pro+ in most shooting scenarios. The Realme also stays a step ahead in terms of performance capabilities, battery life, and charging speed.​
