I still remember carrying around a chunky power bank everywhere because my phone would die by evening. That’s why when I first read about the Realme P4 Pro 5G packing a massive 7,000mAh battery, I couldn’t help but smile. It feels like Realme has finally listened to people like me who just want a phone that lasts more than a day, no matter how much Netflix or BGMI I throw at it.

A Display Made for Binge-Watching and Gaming

The first thing that caught my eye is the 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. I can already picture how smooth scrolling through Instagram or swiping in a game would feel. Realme even claims up to 6,500 nits brightness, which honestly sounds wild. If it really looks that good under the harsh Delhi sun, that’s a win.

Power Under the Hood

It’s not just about looks either. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, paired with a dedicated Hyper Vision AI chip to handle visuals and gaming. I’m curious to see how it holds up in back-to-back gaming sessions, especially since Realme has added a large cooling system to keep things steady. If the frame rates don’t dip mid-match, this could be one of the most balanced mid-range performers yet.

Cameras and Everyday Use

On the camera front, Realme has gone with a 50MP Sony sensor with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide. Add in a 50MP selfie camera capable of 4K at 60fps, and it sounds like the kind of setup that could handle both casual snaps and serious content creation. Despite the huge battery, the phone is surprisingly slim at just 7.68mm and weighs only 189g. That’s lighter than I expected, especially for something carrying this much power.

The Price That Seals It

Starting at ₹24,999 (with launch offers bringing it down further), the P4 Pro 5G feels like Realme’s big statement in the mid-range space. The fact that it comes with IP68/69 water resistance, stereo speakers, and fast 80W charging only makes the deal sweeter.

I’ll be keeping an eye on how people react once the first sale begins on August 27. But if Realme delivers on even half of what it’s promising, the P4 Pro 5G might just be the phone that finally makes me leave that old power bank at home.
