Master-Level Aesthetics: Urban Wild Design by Naoto Fukasawa
The realme 16 Pro Series continues realme’s tradition of co-design with Naoto Fukasawa, the world-renowned design master, bringing master-level design to every device in the series.

Drawing from the natural touch of wheat fields and pebbles, Urban Wild Design seamlessly blends elements of nature with refined urban craftsmanship, creating a unique sensory experience that sets the 16 Pro Series apart.
For the realme 16 Pro, the signature Master Gold color is directly inspired by the natural radiance and delicate texture of wheat fields, perfectly capturing the essence of Urban Wild Design. In addition to Master Gold, the 16 Pro also comes in Pebble Grey, which reflects the smooth comfort of river pebbles, and Orchid Purple, a shade that embodies tranquility and elegance. Each color is thoughtfully curated to evoke a unique sensory experience, allowing users to express their individuality in the urban landscape.
The realme 16 Pro not only looks stunning, but also feels soft and comfortable in hand thanks to its skin-friendly texture and slim design. It is also built to last, offering IP69 water and dust resistance for reliable protection in everyday life.
