Realme could soon expand its 16 series in India with the launch of Realme 16x 5G, according to a fresh leak. The update gives an early look at the phone's possible colours and storage options before any official announcement.
The new model is tipped to arrive in the coming months, adding to the brand's existing 16 lineup. That makes the Realme 16x 5G one of the next launches to watch in India's mid-range smartphone market.
A post on X by tipster Abhishek Yadav said the handset could launch soon in India with model number RMX5270. The leak suggests the phone may succeed last year's Realme 15x 5G.
What Leaked
The handset is expected to come in two colour options, which may be sold as Endurance Brown and Glory White.
It could launch in three variants: 4GB RAM + 128GB storage, 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 6GB RAM + 256GB storage.
The company has not confirmed any specifications, pricing or launch timeline so far.

Why It Matters
The leak points to Realme widening its product range with more price and storage choices for buyers. A wider variant mix often helps brands target users looking for affordable 5G phones with different memory needs.
More details, including pricing, specifications and launch dates, are expected in the coming days, according to the tipster.
