The Realme P4 Power introduces a 10,001mAh silicon-carbon battery to a mass-market smartphone priced at around $285 in India. CNET's tests showed exceptional endurance, outperforming many flagships. The device balances battery size with usability, though it lacks stereo speakers.
The Realme P4 Power, available in India for INR 25,999 (approximately $285), stands out with its 10,001mAh battery, surpassing capacities in phones like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's 5,000mAh, OnePlus 15's 7,300mAh, and RedMagic 11 Pro's 7,500mAh. This model is unlikely to launch in the US but offers up to two days of regular use and faster charging at 80 watts with the included charger. Reviewers noted it as lighter than some flagships at 219g and 9.1mm thick, with a plastic build protected by Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and IP66, IP68, IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. Its TransView Design features a translucent camera module accentuating the 'Power' branding, with curved edges for comfortable handling. The 6.8-inch AMOLED display has 2,800x1,280 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 1,800 nits typical brightness, and 6,500 nits peak for HDR. In CNET's tests, it lost just 3% battery per hour in a 3-hour Wi-Fi video stream at full brightness (ending at 91%), tying with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The 45-minute endurance test, involving gaming, streaming, social media, and calls, saw only 1% drain, matching the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra, up to 12GB RAM, and 256GB storage, it handles daily tasks smoothly on Realme UI 7.0 (Android 16), with three years of OS updates and four years of security patches. Cameras include a 50-megapixel main, 8-megapixel ultrawide, and 16-megapixel selfie, delivering satisfactory daylight photos with AI enhancements. Minor issues include occasional app load delays and single bottom-firing speaker.
