In our review<\/a>, the phone\u2019s 7,000mAh battery achieved one of the highest Active Use Scores in its class (18:18h). The 80W charging system wasn\u2019t as fast as we would have liked, but it was still plenty fast. The downside of the Pro+ is that at a starting price of \u20b940,000<\/a> (for a lowly 8\/128GB config no less), it is \u20b910,000 higher than some of its competition.<\/p>\n
The Realme 16 Pro<\/a> is cheaper, but at \u20b932,000 it still costs more than some competing mid-rangers. While we haven\u2019t reviewed it yet, it has the same 200MP main camera as the Pro+ (which showed impressive skill in 2x zoom) and the same 7,000mAh battery with 80W charging. However, it loses the periscope, which made the Pro+ special, and it has a less impressive chipset too \u2013 a Dimensity 7300 Max instead of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4.<\/p>\n
There are a few other downgrades like a plastic frame instead of aluminum and a different glass over the screen. Still, the periscope and the chipset are the main reasons to go with the Pro+ \u2013 and saving \u20b98,000 is the main reason to go with the Pro.<\/p>\n
