Key points
- Realme's Harry Potter phone and earbuds sold out in India within 24 hours of launch.
- The phone features a UV-reactive back cover that displays four Hogwarts house colors.
- Hardware specs match the standard 16 Pro 5G, including a 7,000 mAh battery.
Realme has confirmed that both its new Harry Potter-themed devices are sold out online in India. The phone and earbuds disappeared from the company's digital store within 24 hours of their recent launch.
As reported by GSMArena, the rapid sell-out means interested buyers must now visit physical retail locations. Stock availability in these brick-and-mortar shops is currently uncertain and varies by store.
Unique lighting feature distinguishes the phone
The Realme 16 Pro 5G special edition features a distinctive textured brown back panel. It displays an argyle pattern inspired by the Wizard's Chess set from the films.
The device includes a 'quadra light sensing' cover that changes color when exposed to UV light. This interaction reveals four colors representing the Hogwarts houses simultaneously.
Standard hardware remains identical to base model
Internally, this special edition is identical to the standard Realme 16 Pro 5G. It runs on a Dimensity 7300 Max processor, which handles general phone tasks efficiently.
The display is a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. This high refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming appear smoother to the eye.
Photography is handled by a 200MP main camera with optical stabilization. The battery capacity is 7,000 mAh, supporting 80W wired charging for quick power-ups.
Buyers face limited purchasing options now
The immediate sell-out highlights strong consumer interest in themed tech products. However, the lack of online stock creates a barrier for many potential customers.
Those who missed the initial online window must rely on local shop inventory. This trade-off reduces convenience and increases the time and effort required to purchase the device.
