Realme P4 Power 5G Sets New Battery Bar in India

NEW DELHI (Azat TV) – Realme officially launched its P4 Power 5G smartphone in India today, January 29, positioning it as a direct challenge to conventional battery life expectations with an unprecedented 10,001mAh “Titan Battery.” This new device, which starts at ₹25,999, aims to alleviate common user anxieties about smartphone endurance, offering what a review by Editorji describes as a multi-day usage experience that makes other flagships appear outdated.

The launch marks a significant moment for the mid-range smartphone segment, as Realme has opted for a drastic increase in battery capacity while other manufacturers have made more incremental gains. The device’s focus on extended uptime is evident, with early reviews highlighting its ability to sustain demanding tasks for exceptionally long periods, potentially reshaping user habits around charging.

Unprecedented Battery Endurance Redefines Daily Use

The Realme P4 Power 5G’s standout feature is undeniably its 10,001mAh Titan Battery. While many brands have cautiously pushed capacities towards the 6,000 to 7,000mAh range, Realme’s offering represents a substantial leap. According to Editorji, the device endured over 29 hours and 31 minutes of continuous 4K YouTube video playback on a single charge during testing, exceeding Realme’s own conservative claims of 32.5 hours under specific lab conditions.

This exceptional endurance is attributed to a silicon-carbon anode battery technology, which allows for higher energy density without significantly increasing the phone’s physical bulk. Additionally, a “Titan Long-Life Algorithm” integrated into the software is claimed by Realme to maintain battery health for up to eight years, a bold promise supported by the reduced charging cycles the large capacity enables.

Despite its massive battery, the P4 Power 5G also features surprisingly rapid 80W UltraDart charging. A full charge from zero to 100% takes approximately one hour and 11 minutes, while a 36-minute top-up can provide enough power for an entire day of use. The device further enhances its utility with 27W reverse charging, effectively allowing it to function as a high-speed power bank for other devices, a feature noted as particularly useful by reviewers.

Distinctive Design and Immersive Display

Realme has not shied away from making a design statement with the P4 Power 5G. The phone, available in TransSilver, TransOrange, and TransBlue, features a bold two-part design. The top section incorporates a “TransView” window that reveals circuit-inspired patterns and exposed screw details, lending it a distinctive, mechanical aesthetic. This transparent element contrasts with a matte finish on the lower half, where the palm naturally grips the device, enhancing both grip and security.

Despite housing a 10,001mAh battery, the P4 Power 5G maintains a thickness of 9.08mm and weighs 219 grams. Reviewers found that while the weight is noticeable, it is lighter than some flagship devices with smaller batteries and feels well-balanced in hand, thanks to its quad-curved display and tapered back panel. This engineering choice helps the large phone remain practical for daily use.

The display itself is a 1.5K 144Hz HyperGlow 4D Curve+ panel, which delivers a premium visual experience. Its quad-curved edges seamlessly blend into the frame, contributing to a perception of less bulk. The 144Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and app transitions, while a claimed peak brightness of 6,500 nits translates to excellent real-world visibility, even under harsh sunlight, according to Editorji. The panel also boasts well-tuned colors and HDR10+ support, making it suitable for extended media consumption.

Performance and User Experience with Realme UI 7.0

The Realme P4 Power 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra processor, built on a 4nm process. While not a flagship chip designed for top benchmark scores, it is tuned for consistent and reliable daily performance. Reviewers noted snappy performance in everyday tasks, with smooth app opening and multitasking, even with numerous background applications.

For gaming, the device delivered stable 90 FPS in demanding titles like BGMI, although sustained GPU-heavy sessions were observed to generate noticeable warmth, reaching around 44 degrees Celsius after two hours. However, this thermal behavior was not observed during non-gaming usage, suggesting it is primarily a factor for intensive gaming.

Running Realme UI 7.0 atop Android 16, the software experience is described as mature and smooth, benefiting from Realme’s new Flux Engine for improved transitions and background app handling. While the interface includes pre-installed bloatware, most of these applications can be uninstalled. The device also integrates genuinely useful AI features such as AI Captions for noisy environments and creative tools like AI Instant Clip and AI Perfect Shot for social media content creation. Realme has committed to providing three major Android updates and four years of security patches, a fair promise for its price segment.

Camera Capabilities and Market Positioning

The camera setup on the Realme P4 Power 5G includes a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP front camera. In daylight, the main camera produces sharp photos with boosted colors, making them “Instagram-ready.” While dynamic range can be limited in high-contrast scenes, portrait mode offers decent edge detection. The 8MP ultra-wide performs adequately for landscapes, maintaining good color consistency with the main lens. Video recording supports 4K at 30fps, offering sharpness but with noticeable shake during movement.

Available in India, the Realme P4 Power 5G is priced at ₹25,999 for the 8GB+128GB base model, with a 12GB+256GB variant available for ₹30,999. The package includes an 80W SuperVOOC charger and a clear TPU case, a welcome inclusion that ensures users can immediately access advertised charging speeds.

The Realme P4 Power 5G is clearly aimed at users prioritizing endurance and media consumption over professional-grade photography or intensive gaming without any thermal considerations. Its colossal battery, coupled with a vibrant display and thoughtful design, carves out a niche for itself as a reliable workhorse in the competitive Indian smartphone market, challenging the status quo for what a mid-range device can offer in terms of longevity.
