Realme announced that the Realme 16 Pro and Realme 16 Pro+ will now get four years of Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates in India.
To recall, the Realme smartphones were originally only promised three years of Android updates and four years of security updates in the country when they debuted. However, the brand has extended the numbers, meaning the devices will also be eligible for Android 20. Yet, European consumers still get a better deal, as the variants in the said market can get one more OS upgrade.
In India, both the Pro and Pro+ feature a massive 7000mAh battery and support 80W wired charging. The processors, however, differ between the two smartphones. While the Pro model features a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Max SoC, the Pro+ is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset.
The Realme 16 Pro+ is available in Master Gold, Master Grey, and Camellia Pink color options, with the last one serving as India’s exclusive variant. It comes in 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB, priced at ₹39,999 ($443), ₹41,999 ($465), and ₹44,999 ($498), respectively.
On the other hand, the Realme 16 Pro comes in Master Gold, Pebble Grey, and Orchid Purple. Like the Pro Plus’ Camellia Pink, the last option is also exclusive to India. Configurations include 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB, which cost ₹31,999 ($355) and ₹36,999 ($410), respectively.
