Two new phones in the realme 16 series are launched, challenging the most powerful portrait cameras in their class
realme 16 Pro: Challenge the strongest portrait camera in its class
The exterior design of realme 16 Pro is inspired by “urban wilderness” and is available in two color systems, “pure purple” and “minimalist gray”. The back cover is made of velvet matte material, which is durable, stain-resistant and comfortable to the touch. The body has passed multiple protection certifications of IP69K, IP69, IP68, and IP66, so it can be used with confidence whether it is daily or outdoor shooting. Equipped with a 6.78-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz.
In terms of performance, it uses Dimensity 7300-Max processor to provide smooth multitasking and stable gaming experience.Realme 16 Pro has a built-in 7000mAh ultra-large power supply, which can still achieve a battery life of “half of the battery after playing for a day” while maintaining a thin and light body. Paired with the AI long-life battery chip and full-scenario bypass charging technology, it can stay cool without lagging even for long periods of gaming or high-load use. Supports 80W SUPERVOOC super flash charging and wired reverse charging, making it safer to use when out and about.
realme 16 Pro is equipped with a 200 million pixel LumaColor main lens, which uses a flagship-level sensor and supports 200 million full pixel automatic zoom and 1x, 2x, and 4x lossless zoom. Through the high-pixel multi-frame HyperRAW algorithm, more details can be retained in high-contrast scenes such as night scenes, stages, and parties, and avoid overexposure or dark areas. In order to improve the compositional freedom of portrait shooting, realme 16 Pro is equipped with five golden portrait focal lengths, combined with hair-level background blur and natural depth of field effects, so that every portrait has the level and texture of professional photography:
- 1x, 1.5x: Suitable for whole-body photos
- 2x: Half-length composition showing mood and atmosphere
- 3.5x, 4x: Capture close-ups of facial expression details
This time, realme teamed up with TÜV Rheinland of Germany to establish the LumaColor IMAGE laboratory. It conducted extensive tests in a variety of real scenes such as coffee shops, dim restaurants, and mixed-light trendy spaces, and finally created a new LumaColor imaging system. This system can accurately restore skin color under different light sources and present more natural light and shadow levels, making portrait shooting more atmospheric and story-telling. In order to meet the needs of creators for stylized images, realme also launched the “Master Tone Mode”, which has 21 built-in special tones, covering a variety of styles such as vivid, retro, neon, fresh, etc., and supports custom parameters, allowing each user to create their own image language.
The simultaneously upgraded AI image assistant brings five innovative ways to play:
- AI vivid light and shadow: simulate studio-level lighting effects
- AI style filters: One-click generation of popular styles such as model photos, Q-version Polaroids, 3D Emoji, etc.
- AI portrait fill light: automatically recognizes insufficient light and naturally brightens it
- Beyond the border: Let the subject jump out of the frame of the picture and create three-dimensional visual tension
- AI one-click video production: 18 templates are provided to quickly generate high-quality short videos
realme 16 5G: Y2K trendy selfie machine
In response to the high-angle and wide-angle selfie style preferred by Generation Z, realme 16 5G is positioned as a “trendy selfie machine” with a rear fill-in selfie mirror. When using the main lens to take selfies, users can instantly confirm the composition and expression, solving the blind shooting problem of backhand selfies in the past. With gesture shutter, voice countdown and other operations, you can easily take eye-catching blockbusters whether you are taking a single shot, a group photo with friends or a Vlog.
The exterior is available in two colors: “Moon Frost White” and “Mist Black”. It adopts the design of streamer wings and gradient light effects, and is paired with a flagship-level camera island to present a simple and neat visual style. Battery life and durability are also equipped with 7000mAh large power and IP69K / IP69 / IP68 / IP66 protection capabilities to meet the needs of long-term shooting and multi-scenario use.
