Realme is getting ready to kick off 2026 with two new smartphone launches. Part of the Realme 16 series, the company will announce the 16 Pro 5G and 16 Pro+ 5G on January 6 in India. Ahead of that announcement, a fresh leak has shed some light on what the more premium Realme 16 Pro+ 5G might cost.
According to well-known tipster Paras Guglani, the Realme 16 Pro+ 5G is expected to carry a maximum retail price of Rs. 43,999. As is usually the case with early leaks, this figure isn’t official.
Realme is likely to announce launch offers, bank discounts, or limited-time deals that could bring the actual street price down. There was no Realme 15 Pro+ to compare the price to its predecessor; however, the Realme 14 Pro+ launched at Rs 29,999. So that’s indeed a steep increase in a couple of generations.
Realme 16 Pro+ 5G: What to expect
The Realme 16 Pro+ 5G is confirmed to ship with a 200MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide, and a 50MP telephoto lens. The phone will run on a Snapdragon chipset, which Geekbench shows could be a tweaked version of Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
Design-wise, the Pro+ appears to follow a similar look to the Realme 16 Pro, with color options including Master Gold, Camellia Pink, and Master Grey.
On the software side, the phone will ship with Realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16. Realme has also committed to three years of Android OS updates and four years of security patches for 16 Pro+. The device will include intelligence features like AI Edit Genie 2.0.
The January 6 launch event won’t just be about smartphones. Realme has also confirmed the debut of the Realme Buds Air 8 and the Realme Pad 3. All of these products are expected to go on sale through Realme’s official website and Flipkart shortly after launch.
