Both Flipkart and Realme have published dedicated microsites on their websites to tease the arrival of the Realme 16 5G. It is claimed to be India's first 'Selfie Mirror Phone' as the handset has a selfie mirror integrated in the rear camera module that allows users to preview their shots in real time. It is teased to have a lightweight build, and the design appears to be inspired by the iPhone Air. The handset is shown in white shade with a horizontal camera bar with glass covering running across the back panel, resembling the design of the Google Pixel 10 series.
