Realme P4 Power review

Competition

The Realme P4 Power sits at a very comfortable INR 25,999 (US $290) in India - a price point at which it doesn't have any direct rivals. Most of its competitors are either slightly more expensive or a tad cheaper.

The recently released Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G is a solid alternative, which gives you a better display, double the storage, better-sounding and louder speakers, and a nicer build with higher ingress protection. Obviously, it's no match for the P4 Power's battery life. However, it's more expensive by INR 4,000 (US $45) than the Realme.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro • Motorola Edge 70 • Nothing Phone (3a)

The Motorola Edge 70 is also a tad more expensive, but has a more premium build, better camera hardware and again with twice the storage by default. You also get faster wired charging and wireless charging support as well. Some users will also appreciate the smaller footprint and thinner chassis, and the fact that it's the fastest device on the list. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC is notably more powerful than the rest of the chipsets here.

Alternatively, you can also check out the similarly priced Nothing Phone (3a). You get a faster chipset, more versatile camera hardware with a dedicated zoom camera, considerably faster charging and a quirky, but cool design.

Verdict

You probably already got the whole picture by now. The Realme P4 Power is all about battery life. It's a great solution for anyone who's constantly on the go. And in this respect, Realme has created a true champion.

The rest of the features, however, are somewhat unremarkable. There are no deal-breakers, but you can definitely find phones with better cameras, nicer builds, louder speakers and even more powerful chipsets. And even though Realme uses cheaper materials, the charging speed is adequate, and the display is solid.

Let's not kid ourselves, though. You came here for the battery tech and probably charging. It's going to be one of those rare instances where we'd gladly recommend the phone because of this one particular novelty. Users have been asking for huge batteries for years now, and we finally have them. It's not a gimmick, it's just a nice midrange phone with a huge battery that doesn't make it look like a brick.
