In the European markets, the Realme 16 Pro is available solely with 8GB of RAM, alongside storage options of 256GB or 512GB. The Indian model, however, includes a version with 12GB of RAM paired with 256GB of storage. Additionally, users in Europe will benefit from NFC and eSIM support, which are not available in the Indian variant. Moreover, while the European model does not include a charger in the box, the Indian version comes with one.
Importantly, the software support varies between the models, with the European version offering more extensive support compared to the Indian model. Below, we present a concise table outlining the main differences between the European and Indian variants.
