Hi! I recently bought a Realme 16 Pro+ 5G and I have a problem with gaming on this phone. I know it isn't a gaming device, but it can still run games 😉 Overall, this phone has good performance in games, but I have an issue with FPS spikes, frame drops, etc.

The ZuPick verdict
This is a camera-and-battery specialist with strong durability and a sharp 144 Hz display. Its slower performance, missing NFC, lack of wireless charging and modest outdoor brightness make it less convincing as an all-round premium phone.

Pros & cons
The 7000 mAh battery offers ample capacity for long days, travel and heavy camera use. Its 80W charging also reduces the time spent tethered to a cable.
The 200 MP main camera, 3.5x optical telephoto and 8 MP ultrawide cover a useful range of perspectives. Optical stabilisation helps keep low-light photos and handheld video steadier.
The 1272x2772 AMOLED screen is sharper than Full HD alternatives, while its 144 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and animation especially fluid.
IP68, IP69 and IP69K protection provides stronger resistance to water and dust than many similarly priced phones. That is valuable for travel and outdoor photography.
Contactless card payments and tap-based accessories are unavailable. That is a serious omission when NFC is standard on almost every rival at this price.
An AnTuTu result of about 984,000 is well behind what many similarly priced phones achieve. Demanding games and long-term performance are weaker parts of the package.
Wireless charging is excluded despite becoming increasingly common among premium competitors. The 80W wired system is quick, but placing the phone on a charging pad is not an option.
The 1400-nit high-brightness mode is usable outdoors but falls behind brighter premium displays. The AMOLED panel also lacks the power-saving adaptability of LTPO alternatives.
What owners say
From RedditRealme is not cery good for games. Im sorry to be that guy but i dont think its fixable.
I am using this brand for the first time and I can definitely say it's surprisingly good. Camera is greatly optimized and even the zoom is smooth and clear. Also the OS is one the best I've ever used. Highly recommend it!
Honestly, I have this phone and I am very disappointed in the camera. My 6 years old budget Xiaomi phone did better photos. Even on your photos it doesn't look good. It's kinda okay if you don't zoom in, but when you do it's one big smear.
I live in the EU and acquired the 12/512 master grey variant, no regrets! I've had like 2 or 3 updates for Realme UI 7 since, no issues after that, actually I cannot tell what changes were made, to me the phone seems the same as day one lol
If anything the only issue I have noticed since day one is with the camera app that seems to forget its ability to focus when you wake it up, so you basically have to force-stop and restart it before using, every time
Overall so far I have no heavy complaints about the phone, it's not high-end, but was one of the best camera-centric phones under 500€ at the time of its release in Europe early this year
charging speed is excellent and the battery backup is great and I preordered this varient at 42 k.
I mean I have been using realme for the past 6 years so yeah I prefer using realme as a normal person I don't take that much headache on choosing a normal 40 k phone because for processing I have my asus strix, also in the past one plus users have faced so much difficulty over some issues in their phone that's the reason I will never choose this phone ever also I'm happy with my phone, it looks great decent processor great camera don't need anything else.
Yeah I own it, the camera is excellent and the leather should be protected with the case like that silicone one and idk if it is cleanable when it gets dirty because mine is safe till now
