Realme launched the 16x 5G in India on Tuesday, packing a 7,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging and a 6.8-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with 144Hz refresh rate. The phone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, with 4GB or 6GB RAM and up to 256GB storage expandable via microSD. It has a single 50-megapixel rear camera and an 8MP front shooter, both limited to 1080p video. The device carries an IP65 rating and MIL-STD 810H durability certification. Gadgets360 notes it includes a 5,300 sq mm vapour chamber cooling system, which helped it outperform the more expensive Realme 16T 5G in benchmarks. Available in Glory White and Endurance Brown, pricing starts at Rs 15,999.

The Realme 16x 5G is being pitched as a mid-range marvel, but the excitement over its 7,000mAh battery and 144Hz screen should be tempered. The phone uses a budget MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip and an HD+ display, fine for casual use, not for heavy gamers expecting flagship performance. The single 50MP rear camera is a weak point compared to rivals with ultrawide sensors. The real test: does a 7,000mAh battery charge quickly enough with only 45W charging, or does it become a burden?
