Overview
- Realme announced Tuesday that the Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition will launch in India on September 21 at 12pm IST and will be sold through Flipkart.
- The phone keeps the standard 16 Pro hardware, including a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Max chip, a 6.78‑inch 144Hz AMOLED display, a 200MP main camera, and a 7,000mAh battery with 80W charging.
- Design changes are cosmetic and themed: a brown leather‑textured rear with an Argyle pattern, a centered Hogwarts crest, a laser‑engraved “Welcome to Hogwarts” frame, and a camera module styled to evoke Hedwig’s eyes.
- Realme will offer a 1:1 Hogwarts trunk gift box containing a Hogwarts Welcome Pack—an acceptance letter, Platform 9¾ ticket, house‑crest bookmarks, character postcards, a logo case, and a phone pin—and only 5,000 of those boxes will be made available worldwide.
- The release follows Realme’s prior entertainment tie‑ins and signals a push to use licensed packaging and scarcity to create collectible sales moments, which could drive quick sellouts and a secondary market for collectors.
