The smartphone market is witnessing a surge in high-capacity batteries, and the Realme P4 Power stands out with one of the largest batteries ever included in a phone: a massive 10,001mAh. This dramatically exceeds the capacity of mainstream flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (5,000mAh) and even surpasses competitors such as the OnePlus 15 (7,300mAh) and RedMagic 11 Pro (7,500mAh).
The significance of this is clear: users can expect up to two days of use on a single charge, a major advantage for those who rely heavily on their devices. This trend toward larger batteries is driven by consumer demand for longer-lasting performance, as smartphones become increasingly central to daily life.
Currently available in India at an affordable price of approximately $285 (INR 25,999), the P4 Power offers exceptional value. Though it is unlikely to be sold in the US, its price point makes it accessible to a broad audience. The phone’s dimensions are 9.1mm thick and weighs 219g, making it lighter than many flagship devices like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Battery Performance and Real-World Use
Extensive testing confirms the Realme P4 Power’s battery prowess. In CNET’s 3-hour video streaming test at full brightness, the device lost only 3% battery per hour, ending at 91%. The phone also performed exceptionally well in the 45-minute endurance test, losing just 1% battery. These results place the P4 Power at the top of CNET’s charts alongside the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
In practical use, the phone easily lasted two days with typical use, and up to one and a half days with heavy use. The included 80W charger provides fast charging when needed.
Design and Durability
The Realme P4 Power features a translucent “TransView Design” around the camera module, accentuating its “Power” branding. It has a plastic back and frame, with Gorilla Glass 7i protecting the front. The device is IP66, IP68, and IP69 rated for dust and water resistance, meaning it can withstand submersion in freshwater and high-pressure water jets.
The 6.8-inch AMOLED display has a 2,800×1,280 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, up to 6,500 nits peak brightness, and is easily legible outdoors. However, it lacks stereo speakers, relying on a single bottom-firing speaker.
Performance and Software
The phone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset, with options for up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. While not a top-tier processor, it handles everyday tasks smoothly. The Realme UI 7.0 (based on Android 16) is fast and customizable, but comes preloaded with multiple apps that some users may want to uninstall. Realme promises three years of Android OS updates and four years of security patches.
The camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 16-megapixel selfie camera. Image quality is satisfactory in daylight, with accurate colors and balanced contrast.
In conclusion, the Realme P4 Power delivers on its promise of extreme battery life without compromising on usability. Its combination of affordability, impressive performance, and robust durability makes it a standout option in the current smartphone market.
