    Realme 16 5G Review

    shot of the Realme 16 5G placed on a desk in front of a large mirror and greenish teal background

    Realme 16 5G gets the basics right with an excellent display, long battery life, and smooth software experience. However, it doesn't feel like the complete package, as performance is decent at best, cameras are inconsistent, and the absence of an ultra-wide lens is hard to ignore. At a launch price of Rs 31,999, the Realme 16 is enough to make you glance but not open your wallet.

    Pros

    • Excellent battery life
    • Sharp and responsive AMOLED panel
    • Lightweight and comfortable
    • Clean Realme UI

    Cons

    • Cameras not up to the mark
    • Average performance
