As Realme prepares for a strong start to 2026, the first leaks regarding the price of the highly anticipated Realme 16 Pro+ 5G have sent shockwaves through the tech world. The price of the top model in the Realme 16 series, the 16 Pro+ 5G, which will be launched in India on January 6th, has been revealed before the launch, and it points to a figure significantly higher than expected.

Here’s the Leaked Realme 16 Pro+ 5G Price

According to reliable leak source Paras Guglani, the recommended retail price of the Realme 16 Pro+ 5G in India is set at $490. Of course, this figure is likely to be slightly lower with launch-specific discounts and bank promotions. However, even at this price, there is a significant price increase compared to the brand’s previous models.

For comparison, the previous model in the series, the Realme 14 Pro+, launched with a price tag of $330. This situation shows that Realme wants to play a more competitive role in the upper-mid segment with its new model.

One of the most important reasons behind the high price of the Realme 16 Pro+ 5G is its powerful hardware specifications. The company has confirmed that the device will have a 200MP main camera. This main camera will be accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50MP telephoto lens. According to Geekbench leaks, it will be powered by a customized version of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset.

In terms of design, color options such as Master Gold, Camellia Pink, and Master Grey are expected. Furthermore, the phone, which will ship with Android 16-based Realme UI 7.0, will offer a 3-year Android operating system warranty and a 4-year security update guarantee. In addition to the phones, the Realme Buds Air 8 wireless headphones and the Realme Pad 3 tablet are also expected to be introduced at the January 6th event.
