Realme is once again turning its smartphones and audio products into collector’s items. The company has announced a new partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to launch Harry Potter-themed editions of the Realme 16 Pro and Realme Buds T500 Pro in India.
The partnership follows Realme’s Game of Thrones collaboration last year, which resulted in the Realme 15 Pro Game of Thrones Limited Edition. This time, Realme is going deeper into the Harry Potter universe with custom hardware designs and themed packaging.
The Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition appears to be based on the Master Gold version of the smartphone. The hardware is expected to remain the same as the standard Realme 16 Pro, but the design gets a major Harry Potter makeover.
The back panel features a colour-changing finish and carries the logos of all four Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. The phone also features the Hogwarts motto, “Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus,” which means “Never tickle a sleeping dragon.”
Realme has also added a “Welcome to Hogwarts” inscription to the right frame of the phone, making the limited edition feel more like a themed collector’s product rather than just a smartphone with a different colour.
The company is also expected to include a much richer retail package with Harry Potter-themed accessories and packaging. Realme has not yet revealed the complete contents of the box.
The Harry Potter treatment is not limited to the smartphone. Realme is also launching a special edition of its Buds T500 Pro true wireless earphones.
The earbuds follow the same brown and gold colour combination as the smartphone. The letter “H” is printed on the earbuds, while the charging case features the Hogwarts School logo.
The case also appears to have a vegan leather finish, which gives the TWS earphones a more premium and collectible look.
Like the phone, the Buds T500 Pro Harry Potter Edition is expected to retain the hardware and features of the regular model, with the main changes focused on the design and retail package.
Realme has not yet announced the pricing or exact launch date for either product. However, the company has confirmed that the Realme 16 Pro Harry Potter Edition will launch in India, and the Buds T500 Pro Harry Potter Edition is also part of the new collaboration.
