Vietnamese retailers have listed the standard Realme 16 with specifications including a 7,000mAh battery, unique rear-facing selfie mirror, and rugged IP-rated design ahead of its February launch.
Following the recent Realme 16 Pro launch, retailer listings in Vietnam have revealed specifications for the standard Realme 16 model expected to launch in February. The listings confirm several notable features positioning this device as a durable, battery-focused mid-range option.
The Realme 16 features a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The panel reaches an impressive 4,500 nits peak brightness for outdoor visibility and uses AGC DT-Star D+ tempered glass protection. Unlike many competitors in its segment, the device carries multiple IP ratings (IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K) indicating strong resistance against dust, water jets, and high-pressure cleaning - unusual protection for a plastic-bodied device.
Camera implementation presents the most innovative design choice: a Pixel-inspired camera visor houses triple rear sensors led by a 50MP main camera, accompanied by a small reflective "Selfie Mirror" adjacent to the lenses. This allows users to frame shots using the higher-quality main camera for self-portraits rather than relying solely on traditional front-facing cameras.
Internally, the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset powers the device with 8GB or 12GB RAM options and 256GB of expandable storage via microSD. The standout specification is the massive 7,000mAh battery supporting 60W fast charging - significant capacity that should deliver multi-day usage. Software ships with Android 16 layered with realme UI 6.0, placing it among the first devices launching with Google's latest OS version.
This combination of extreme battery capacity, rugged credentials, and camera innovation suggests Realme is targeting practical users prioritizing endurance over premium materials. The Android 16 foundation provides access to Google's latest ecosystem features, though realme UI's update track record remains a consideration for long-term software support. With pricing yet to be revealed, the Realme 16 could become a compelling option in markets valuing utility over flagship specs when it launches next month.
