"While the Realme 16 Pro+ scored pretty low, a good number of people are willing to have a second look after the price falls to more reasonable levels. As we noted in our review, the Pro+ is a solid phone, but it costs more than the models that it is competing against - many feel that those other phones are better value for their money."
"The Realme 16 Pro may be cheaper, but it also loses some important hardware, so the value for money equation is still off balance. Again, people hammered the 8MP ultra-wide camera, while the Dimensity 7300 Max chipset didn't even get a mention. This suggests that Realme nearly had the right formula - it's just that it went too far with the price savings on certain components. That can't be helped now, but the price of the two models can certainly come down."
Makers struggle to hit the right price for new smartphones, a problem poised to worsen as memory shortages affect production. Realme's 16 Pro and 16 Pro+ failed to meet buyer expectations, with the 16 Pro+ attracting reconsideration only if prices fall. The 16 Pro+ is a solid phone but costs more than competing models, reducing perceived value. The 8MP ultra-wide camera drew heavy criticism as unacceptable at the current price point, while the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 received praise. The 16 Pro reduces cost by cutting hardware, leaving its value proposition weak. Price reductions could boost interest, mainly for the Pro+.
