Realme has brought its 16 series to market with the Realme 16 Pro+, a phone that pairs a 200MP main camera with a 3.5x periscope zoom lens, a 7000mAh battery and a 144Hz curved AMOLED display. It was announced on 6 January 2026 and released on 8 January 2026, and it sits at the top of the 16 series, where camera hardware, battery life and display quality matter most to buyers.
In Pakistan, the phone is not on sale yet, its expected price is Rs. 104,999, and its availability status is Coming Soon. No local launch date has been confirmed and PTA approval has not been confirmed either, so no tax figure can be given at this stage.
Realme 16 Pro+ Price in Pakistan
The expected price of the Realme 16 Pro+ in Pakistan is Rs. 104,999. The figure is worked out from the Bangladesh listing on MobileDokan, where the 8GB + 128GB version is listed at BDT 47,000: at the conversion used for this listing, BDT 47,000 x 2.2205 gives Rs. 104,364, rounded up to Rs. 104,999. It is a product-level price only, because MobileDokan lists no per-variant prices, so no separate price rows are shown for the 8GB and 12GB versions.
One point in the Bangladesh listing is worth noting. MobileDokan prices the 16 Pro+ (BDT 47,000) below the 16 Pro (BDT 48,000), while prices in India put the Pro+ higher. The figures used here follow the MobileDokan listing as published, so the expected price reads as a sourced listing rather than a ranking of the two models. The price is marked Expected and may change once realme Pakistan confirms local pricing.
Realme 16 Pro+ Specifications
| Network | 5G |
| Display | 6.8″ AMOLED, 144Hz |
| Processor | Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 |
| RAM | 8GB / 12GB |
| Storage | 128GB / 256GB / 512GB |
| Rear Camera | 200MP + 50MP + 8MP |
| Front Camera | 50MP |
| Battery | 7000mAh, 80W |
| Operating System | Android 16, realme UI 7.0 |
| Price | Rs. 104,999 (Expected) |
Design and Build
The 16 Pro+ measures 162.5 x 76.3 x 8.1 mm and weighs 198 g, with a glass front, an aluminium alloy frame and a choice of plastic or eco-leather (silicone polymer) back. It is rated IP68/IP69K for dust and water resistance, so it is built to take knocks and splashes that would trouble most phones in this class. It comes in Gold, Gray and Camellia Pink, and the model number is RMX5131. MobileDokan lists a second thickness and weight for the phone, 8.5 mm and 203 g, which appears to depend on the variant, so buyers should check the exact figures for the version on sale.
Display
The 6.8-inch curved AMOLED display runs at 144Hz and shows 1 billion colours, with HDR10+ support and a peak brightness of 6500 nits, so it stays readable in bright daylight. The panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, and its 1280 x 2800 resolution works out to about 453 pixels per inch.
Performance and Software
Under the glass sits the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, a 4nm chip with an eight-core CPU running at up to 2.8GHz and an Adreno 722 GPU, paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB, 256GB or 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. There is no microSD card slot, so the storage on the box is the storage you keep. The phone runs Android 16 with realme UI 7.0, and realme promises up to three major Android upgrades in India and up to five in the EU. It has an under-display optical fingerprint sensor, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC in some regions and an IR blaster for home appliances.
Camera
The rear camera set is the main reason to pick the Pro+ over the standard 16 Pro. The 200MP main camera has optical image stabilisation, and it is joined by a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom and stabilisation, plus an 8MP ultrawide camera with autofocus. Rear video reaches 4K at 60 frames per second. The front camera is a 50MP unit that also records 4K at 60 frames per second, so video calls and selfies get the same sharp treatment.
Battery and Charging
The 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery is the same size as the one in the 16 Pro, and 80W wired charging fills it in a short time, with 55W PPS, reverse wired charging and bypass charging for long gaming sessions. A battery this size should carry most people through a full day and into the next, even with the 144Hz display running.
Connectivity and Extras
The 16 Pro+ supports Nano-SIM and eSIM, with up to two SIMs at a time, and covers a wide set of 4G and 5G bands. It has stereo speakers, USB Type-C 2.0 with OTG, and a fingerprint sensor under the display. There is no 3.5mm headphone jack and no wireless charging, and FM radio is absent.
| Variant | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|
| All storage options | Rs. 104,999 | Expected |
Final Verdict: A camera-first pick at the top of the 16 series
For buyers who want the strongest camera in the 16 series, the Realme 16 Pro+ is the pick: the 200MP main camera and 3.5x periscope zoom stand out, the 7000mAh battery and 80W charging cover long days, and the bright 144Hz curved display rounds out a strong package. The price is expected, PTA approval is still unconfirmed, and the phone is not on sale in Pakistan yet, so the figures here are a guide until realme Pakistan confirms local pricing. Once it lands, it will suit buyers who photograph often and charge rarely.
