Realme has increased the price of the Realme 15 and the Realme 16 Pro series in India.

The news follows an earlier leak by an Indian tipster online. Now, the brand has officially implemented the hike, which is now reflected on its Indian website. Affected models include the base Realme 15 and the entire Realme 16 Pro series, which consists of the Pro and Pro+ variants.

The Realme 15’s configurations received a ₹3,000 price increase, while the new Realme 16 Pro series saw a ₹4,000 hike.

The tipster earlier claimed that the reason behind the move was “due to rising memory, chipset, and ecosystem costs.” 

To recall, brands like Xiaomi, Realme, Nothing, and others hinted that their upcoming devices would face price increases due to hikes in memory component prices. This, however, might surprise some fans, since Realme introduced the hike to its current devices without prior announcement. 

Here are the details of the price hike for the said devices:
