Realme 16 Pro Series unveils ‘Urban Wild Design’ with Naoto Fukasawa collaboration

Realme has announced an exciting new design collaboration with the acclaimed Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa for its upcoming 16 Pro Series, showcasing a fresh aesthetic dubbed ‘Urban Wild Design’. This partnership marks the fifth collaboration between the two, with this being Fukasawa's first contribution to Realme's main smartphone series since their last joint project three years ago. The Urban Wild Design seeks to harmonize natural elements with sleek, modern craftsmanship. It features innovative ‘Master Design’ colors and introduces an industry-first bio-based organic silicone material, enhancing both aesthetics and sustainability. The design philosophy reflects a quest for a 'spiritual utopia' within contemporary urban environments, merging the essence of nature with modern urban style. The materials used in the 16 Pro Series draw inspiration from the tactile beauty found in nature, such as wheat in a field and river stones shaped by water flow. These organic elements are seamlessly integrated into urban design features, such as the advanced Metal Mirror Camera. In a groundbreaking move, the 16 Pro Series utilizes bio-based organic silicone, a first in the industry that combines sustainability with durability. Sourced from renewable plant-based straw through a clean manufacturing process, this material offers a soft, skin-friendly texture that mimics natural surfaces. It is designed to be robust, resisting aging, dirt, bacteria, and wear, ensuring the device remains elegant over time. The design also showcases an innovative ‘All-Nature Curve’, featuring smooth curves that transition from the back panel to the mid-frame and display, providing a sophisticated and comfortable grip. Despite these elaborate design features, the 16 Pro Series retains a slim profile at just 8.49mm. To enhance the luxurious feel, the 16 Pro Series incorporates high-quality craftsmanship in its camera module and metal mid-frame. The camera features Luxury PVD Craftsmanship for a high-gloss finish, reminiscent of fine watchmaking, while Nanoscale Metal Coating improves durability and scratch resistance. The design includes the 'Volcanic Camera Deco', which elegantly integrates with the back panel, all enhanced by a luxurious metallic mid-frame. Additionally, the new Master Design Colors offer four shades inspired by nature, each meticulously tuned to reflect the purity of natural hues: - Master Gold: Inspired by the warmth of golden wheat. - Master Grey: Exclusive to the Realme 16 Pro+, resembling river-polished pebbles. - Camellia Pink: An exclusive shade for the Realme 16 Pro+, influenced by Indian festive flowers. - Orchid Purple: Available on the Realme 16 Pro, capturing the vibrant essence of Indian celebrations.
