Realme 16x has been officially released on August 12, 2026.

Product Main Features:

The device measures 166.5 × 78.2 × 8.8mm and weighs 217g, with a glass front, plastic frame and plastic back. It has IP65 protection, MIL-STD-810H compliance and drop resistance up to 1.8m. An RGB notification light is also included on the rear. The display is a large 6.81-inch IPS LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 1,200 nits HBM brightness.

The 720 × 1570 resolution gives around 254 ppi, so sharpness is lower than what higher-resolution AMOLED panels offer. Performance comes from the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, with two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz, paired with the Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. It comes with 4GB or 6GB RAM, 128GB or 256GB UFS 2.2 storage, and a microSDXC slot that shares the SIM slot.

The rear camera is a 50MP f/1.8 autofocus camera with an auxiliary setup, supporting 1080p video at 30/60fps. The 8MP front camera records at 1080p30 and includes panorama support. There is no OIS or 4K video recording specified. Audio is handled by a single loudspeaker, with no 3.5mm headphone jack.

Connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS and BDS, while NFC and FM radio are unavailable. It uses USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG and has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, accelerometer, proximity sensor and compass. The software is Android 16 with Realme UI 7.0, with support for up to two major Android updates.

The 7,000mAh battery supports 45W wired charging, including PPS, PD and QC compatibility. Realme 16x also supports 7W reverse wired charging and bypass charging, with colour options of Endurance Brown and Glory White.

Resolution

720 x 1570 pixels
Display Colors Display Colors is refers to the number of different shades of colors that the screen is capable of displaying => 64K colors, 256K colors and 16 million colors, Obviously 16M is highest available range of colors and better than others.

1B colors
Pixel Density Pixel Density (PPI) is refers to the concentration of pixels on a particular display, measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Pixel density is calculated by dividing the diagonal pixel resolution of a display by its diagonal size, higher pixel density better display quality.

~254 PPI density
Touch Screen

Yes
Display Protection Display Protection => Gorilla Glass is a special alkali-aluminosilicate glass shield with exceptional damage resistance that helps protect mobile displays from scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use, It is always better to go for a smartphone with Gorilla Glass for that added protection and peace of mind.

Hardware

CPU The main chipset of the device.

Octa-core (2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) Mediatek Dimensity 6300 (6 nm)
GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion.

Mali-G57 MC2
RAM (Memory) RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.

4 GB, 6 GB
Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored.

128 GB, 256 GB
Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras.

microSDXC (uses shared SIM slot)
Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device.

Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, proximity, compass

Software

Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices). The Operating System allows the user to install and run third party applications (apps), apps are used to add new functionality to the device.

Android 16
User Interface UI or user interface of a device is the look and feel of the on-screen menu system. How it works, its color scheme, how it responds to button presses, all of these things are part of the user interface.

Realme UI 7.0

Camera

Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality.

50 MP (wide)

1080p
Video

1080p@30/60fps
Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration)

Yes
Front Camera

Network

SIM SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages.

Nano SIM
Dual SIM

USB

Type-C 2.0
GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky.

Yes
NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches.

Yes
Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device.
