realme has started teasing the realme 16 in India, highlighting a new hardware element on the back panel. The company calls it India’s first “Selfie Mirror Phone,” pointing to a small circular mirror placed next to the rear camera module.
This mirror is about the size of a camera lens and is designed to help users frame selfies using the rear cameras. It allows you to use the main camera system for selfies, which typically delivers better image quality than the front camera.
The camera module itself uses a horizontal, iPhone Air-like pill-shaped layout with multiple cutouts. It appears to house three camera rings, though the final setup may still be a dual or mixed configuration.
