realme 16x 5G Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.8/10
Verdict
The Realme 16x prioritises battery life and a catchy design, while its other aspects, including performance, software, cameras, and display, are fairly standard for the price. If your priorities lie elsewhere, it is worth exploring the alternatives. Otherwise, the Realme 16x is a safe choice for users who value long battery life and basic day-to-day usage.
Pros
- Excellent battery life
- Smooth 144Hz display
- Reliable everyday performance
Cons
- Cameras are only adequate
- Too many pre-installed apps
Battery and charging: excellent endurance
+
The Realme 16x's 7,000mAh battery easily lasts up to two days with moderate use and a full day even with heavier usage. Charging is relatively standard at 45W, while bypass charging is a useful addition for those who game or use the phone while plugged in.
