Realme Launches Harry Potter Edition Smartphone with Themed Accessories

OPA WIRE, Nov 3 (OPA) — Chinese smartphone manufacturer Realme has introduced the realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition, marking its second hardware collaboration with Warner Bros. The device features a 'Magic Brown' leathery finish, a golden Hogwarts crest with UV color-changing technology, and a laser-engraved frame. The release follows the manufacturer's limited-edition Game of Thrones release last year.

The handset comes packaged in a miniature leather suitcase containing an acceptance letter, book list, train ticket, character postcards, house crest bookmarks, and a crest pin. The pin unlocks bundled wizard-themed realme Buds T500 Pro earbuds. The customized user interface includes a Hogwarts castle wallpaper, a boot animation styled after the film title card, and modified icons for 30 native applications.

Beneath the exterior, the device operates on a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Max 5G chipset paired with an ARM Mali-G615 GPU, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of ROM. It features a 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 6,500 nits and a 1272x2772 pixel resolution. The camera suite includes a 200MP full-pixel LumaColor main sensor, a 112-degree wide lens, and a 50MP selfie camera supporting 4K video recording at 30 frames per second.

Powering the hardware is a 7,000mAh battery supporting 80W USB-C fast charging and Bypass Charging technology. The device is currently available on the manufacturer's official website for around $657. Realme has also made standalone Harry Potter-inspired earbuds available for consumers seeking themed accessories without purchasing the phone.
