Price, specifications, pros and cons (Realme 16 Pro)

What Are the Pros and Cons of the Realme 16 Pro?

Pros

• An excellent display: a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, 1000-nit (typical) and 6500-nit (peak) brightness, and 1272 x 2772 resolution at 450 ppi density, protected by AGC DT star D+ glass at Mohs level 6.
• A large battery with fast charging: a 7000mAh Si/C battery (version 1) with 80W wired charging, earning a Class A energy rating on the EU label with 70 hours and 44 minutes of endurance.
• A large-sensor main camera: a 200MP main camera with an f/1.9 aperture, a 1/1.56" sensor, and OIS, plus a 50MP selfie camera.
• High durability: IP68/IP69K dust and water resistance (resistant to high-pressure water jets and immersible up to 2m for 30 minutes), plus stereo speakers, NFC (market dependent), an infrared port, and an under-display optical fingerprint sensor.

Cons

• The camera system is limited for a "Pro" tier: a dual camera only (200MP main) with no dedicated telephoto (unlike the Plus version, which has telephoto and ultrawide). Video is also limited to 4K at 30fps.
• The USB port is dated: USB Type-C 2.0. And there is no memory card slot, no 3.5mm headphone jack, and no FM radio.
• The chipset drew criticism: the Mediatek Dimensity 7300 Max, which users in the comments felt was weak for the price, with one noting that the Dimensity 7300 (Ultra/Max) names are the same processor with different marketing labels. The European version also ships with a smaller battery: 6500mAh in version 2 versus 7000mAh. Repairability is middling at Class C on the EU label.
