Realme 16 5G, which was first launched in select markets earlier this year, could be making its way to India soon. The Indian variant of the phone is said to come with identical specifications as its global variant. The iPhone Air-like design is the key highlight of the Realme 16 5G. It runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 Turbo chipset and features a 6.57-inch AMOLED display. The Realme 16 5G has a 7,000mAh battery and a dual rear camera setup. 

Realme 16 5G Could Be Followed By Realme 16T

Tech blogger Paras Guglani (@passionategkeez) on X claimed that Realme is gearing up to launch the Realme 16 5G in India. The specifications and design are said to be similar to the global variant. The Realme 16T is also expected to be unveiled in the country soon. However, the launch date of the Realme 16 5G and Realme 16T in India is presently under wraps.
