Earlier this month, Realme claimed that its upcoming Realme 16 Pro+ will ship with a processor more powerful than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. Last week, however, the smartphone made an appearance on Geekbench with—surprisingly—the same chip that Realme said it would not use.
Now, the phone’s retail box image has also surfaced online. And guess what? The box imprinting confirms that the device is indeed powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.
We are not sure why Realme is doing false marketing. The source of the image is a reliable tipster, which rules out the likelihood of the image itself being doctored.
Below is the official teaser, which shows Realme 16 Pro+ has an “industry-leading Snapdragon chip,” which performs better than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. It’s Realme logic now, and we’ll have to wait for the company to explain the discrepancy.
Beyond the chipset confusion, the box image also reveals some previously confirmed details. The Realme 16 Pro+ packs a 200MP main camera alongside a 50MP 3.5x telephoto lens on the back. Powering the phone is a massive 7,000mAh “Titan” battery, paired with 80W fast charging.
Rest of the specs
The 16 Pro+ has already made its way to the TENAA database, revealing most of its specs. It flaunts a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel with 10-bit color depth. The front also has a 50MP selfie camera, while the rear includes an 8MP ultrawide alongside above mentioned 200MP main and 50MP telephoto.
It runs on Android 16, which is layered with Realme UI 7. Globally, it is expected to receive three OS upgrades and four security updates. Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor and an IR blaster.
The Realme 16 Pro+ is set to launch in India on January alongside the more affordable Realme 16 Pro.
