Rivals to consider

Real-World Performance & First Impressions

Display & Design

The Realme P4 Pro features a 6.8-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution (1280×2800 pixels) and an impressive 144Hz refresh rate. The display supports HDR10+ content and reaches a claimed peak brightness of 6500 nits, making it one of the brightest screens in this price segment. The phone weighs 189 grams and measures just 7.7mm thick despite housing a massive battery. Three color options are available: Midnight Ivy, Dark Oak Wood, and Birch Wood finishes, each offering a premium aesthetic.

GSMArena’s hands-on impressions noted the display delivers vibrant colors and smooth scrolling, though the actual sustained brightness in real-world use is closer to 1800 nits in HBM mode. The curved edges and minimal bezels give it a flagship-like appearance.

Performance & Thermals

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor paired with the Hyper Vision AI chip, the P4 Pro scores over 1.1 million points on AnTuTu benchmarks. This dual-chipset approach enables features like real-time frame generation and AI-powered resolution upscaling for gaming. The device handles demanding titles at 144 FPS with Ultra HD graphics settings.

The 7000mm² AirFlow VC Cooling System helps maintain consistent performance during extended gaming sessions. Realme claims the phone can handle 8+ hours of BGMI gameplay at 90fps without significant throttling, though real-world testing suggests some thermal management kicks in after about 45 minutes of intensive use.

Camera Quality (Photos & Video)

The dual rear camera setup consists of a 50MP Sony IMX896 primary sensor with optical image stabilization and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. The main camera captures detailed shots in good lighting conditions with accurate colors and decent dynamic range. The OIS helps with low-light photography and video stabilization, though noise becomes apparent in challenging lighting scenarios.

The 50MP front camera uses an OV50D sensor and supports 4K video recording at 60fps. Both front and rear cameras benefit from Realme’s Hypershot Architecture with features like Ultra Steady video, AI motion stabilization, and dedicated AI Travel Snap and Landscape modes. Early samples show the camera performs competently for the price point, though it lacks the versatility of phones with dedicated telephoto lenses.

Battery Life & Charging

The standout feature is the massive 7000mAh battery, marketed as a “Titan battery” by Realme. The company claims up to 11 hours of gaming on a single charge. The 80W fast charging support can replenish 50% battery in just 25 minutes, with a full charge taking approximately 53 minutes.

Additional battery features include 10W reverse charging for powering accessories, AI smart charging to optimize battery health, and bypass charging for gaming while plugged in. This combination of large capacity and fast charging addresses one of the biggest pain points for heavy smartphone users.

Software & Updates

The Realme P4 Pro ships with Android 15 and Realme UI 6.0 out of the box. Realme has committed to providing three major Android OS updates, which means the phone should receive updates up to Android 18. The software includes various customization options and gaming-focused features, though some users might find the interface contains more pre-installed apps compared to stock Android.

The Hyper Vision AI chip enables software features like frame interpolation for smoother video playback and real-time HDR enhancement for supported content.

Price & Availability

• Starting price: ₹24,999 for the base 8GB/128GB variant (expected)

• Availability: Goes on sale August 27, 2025 via Flipkart and Realme’s official website

The phone will be available in three storage configurations, with the higher variants likely priced at ₹27,999 (8GB/256GB) and ₹31,999 (12GB/512GB). Launch offers may include bank discounts and exchange bonuses.

Should You Upgrade?

From last year’s model: If you own the Realme P3 Pro, the upgrade brings meaningful improvements in display brightness, refresh rate, battery capacity, and processing power. The dual-chipset approach and gaming enhancements make it worthwhile for heavy users, though casual users might want to wait for a price drop.

From a 2-year-old phone: Users with phones from 2023 or earlier will experience a substantial leap in performance, battery life, and display quality. The 144Hz AMOLED screen, flagship-level brightness, and all-day battery make this an excellent upgrade opportunity.

For budget-conscious buyers: At the expected ₹24,999 starting price, the P4 Pro offers strong value with its massive battery and gaming capabilities. However, those who don’t prioritize gaming might find better camera systems in competitors like the Nothing Phone (2a) or wait for festival season discounts.
