Realme 16 Pro vs Pro Plus – Which One Should You Buy?
Pros
- Excellent thermal management under stress
- Display is easy to use outdoors
Cons
- Lacks a telephoto camera lens
- Video recording is limited to 4K 30fps
- Noticeably lower performance than the Pro Plus
The Realme 16 Pro is presented as a successor to the Realme 15, adopting a more conventional flat design and a camera array that notably omits the telephoto lens found in its Pro Plus counterpart. It utilizes the Dimensity 7300 Max SoC, which, despite offering lower performance, provides exceptional thermal management, keeping the device remarkably cool. The phone's 6.78-inch flat display, while slightly smaller and with lower maximum auto brightness, maintains good outdoor usability.
“The camera array loses the reflective finish and more importantly, the telephoto lens, the rest of the camera setup remains the same, though at 4K 30. And that is because of the SoC on the inside, the Demenity 7300 Max.”
“Performance is noticeably lower than the Pro Plus, but it runs extremely cool, maxing out at just 30° in stress tests.”
“the Realme 16 Pro, it feels like a successor to the Realme 15”
