realme held a launch event in Vietnam earlier today, where, in addition to the Pro version, the standard version of the realme 16 5G, which also generated considerable buzz, was unveiled. This new phone not only features a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 Turbo processor, but also packs a massive 7000mAh battery into a lightweight body weighing only 183 grams. The most eye-catching design element is the physical circular selfie mirror on the rear camera module.
realme is also expected to launch the realme 16 5G in the Taiwan market, but specific details will have to wait for realme to announce them later.
Retro-innovative: Using a "mirror" to assist with selfies on the main camera
In the era of feature phones before smartphones became widespread, a small convex mirror next to the camera lens was standard. The realme 16 5G seems to pay homage to this design, embedding a small round mirror in a horizontally elongated camera module similar to the iPhone Air.
This allows users to directly check the composition and expression through this mirror when they want to take selfies or group photos with the 5000-megapixel Sony IMX852 main camera lens, which has a better image quality, without having to shoot blindly or rely on expensive rear screen technology.
Cutting-edge battery technology: 7000mAh, yet the body is lighter than an iPhone.
另一個讓人驚訝的規格是電池技術。通常搭載6000mAh容量以上電池的手機，重量往往突破200公克。但realme 16 5G卻將機身重量控制在183公克，厚度僅有8.1mm，意味其電池密度技術可能有顯著突破。
In addition, the realme 16 5G also supports 60W wired fast charging and reverse charging, making it essentially a slim and lightweight power bank that can make phone calls.
IP69K full-fledged protection and hardware specifications
In terms of hardware specifications, the realme 16 5G features a 6.57-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate and high-frequency PWM dimming technology. It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 Turbo processor, equipped with a 6050mm² cooling system, and runs on the realme UI 7.0 interface.
In addition, the realme 16 5G supports IP69K dust and water resistance (including resistance to high temperature and high pressure water jets), making its durability top-notch.
realme 16 Pro 5G also debuted
In addition to announcing the realme 16 5G, realme also announced the launch of the realme 16 Pro 5G in the Vietnamese market, which was unveiled in the Indian market in early January.
The realme 16 Pro 5G is powered by the Dimensity 7300-Max processor, equipped with a 6.8-inch AMOLED punch-hole screen, a 7000mAh high-capacity battery, and a LumaColor IMAGE imaging system that includes a 2MP wide-angle lens, an 800MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and is co-developed with TÜV Rheinland.
However, the realme 16 Pro+ 5G, which uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor and adds a 5000-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, was not launched in the Vietnamese market.
