In a subsequent set of teasers, realme has been teasing the brand's upcoming mid-range duo, the realme 16 Pro series, for release in the Philippine market through the smartphone maker's social media channels.

Coming this April 23, 2026 (5:30 PM PHT), the realme 16 Pro and Pro+ touts a sophisticated aesthetic, which the brand calls the Urban Wild Design, carrying premium finishes and a leather-like material for the Master Gold (realme 16 Pro+) in collaboration with renowned Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. 

Dubbed the 200MP Portrait Master, the realme 16 Pro series highlights its set of three cameras for the Pro+ model. Having first debuted on January 6, 2026 in India, the realme 16 Pro has a dual-camera setup (200MP main, and 8MP ultra-wide), while the 16 Pro+ opts for a triple-camera setup (200MP main, 50MP persicope, and 8MP ultra-wide). 

Meanwhile, both models seem to have the same 50MP sensor for the front-facing camera. They have been around for a while now, since January 2026 in India, and are set to hit the shelves in the Philippine market this April.

In other news, a non-Pro model of realme 16 is also set to arrive on the same date as the 16 Pro models.
