Realme is gearing up for its first big smartphone launch of 2026, with reports suggesting the Realme 16 Pro series will arrive in India on January 6.

Meanwhile, the Realme 16 Pro Plus may further enhance photography with the addition of a telephoto lens.

Realme is expected to reveal more details closer to the launch, but early signs indicate a strong focus on performance, display quality, and imaging capabilities.
