I’ve got two new phones here the Realme P4 and the Realme P4 Pro and today’s Blog focus­es main­ly on the Realme P4 Pro what’s dif­fer­ent from the P4, how it feels in hand, what’s in the box, and what kind of real-world per­for­mance you can expect. I’ll stick to what I test­ed and observed so you get a straight pic­ture of the phone.

Out of the box you won’t find a trans­par­ent cov­er this time Realme has skipped it on this unit but the pack­age still includes a pro­tec­tive case, a Type‑C cable and a very fast 80W Super Charg­er. The phone’s touch and feel stand out imme­di­ate­ly. At first glance the back looks like a wood­en fin­ish; in real­i­ty it’s plas­tic poly­car­bon­ate both for the frame and the back. It’s not glass, yet the phone feels light­weight despite the large bat­tery, which is a use­ful design choice because a big bat­tery often makes devices feel heavy.

Realme has claimed splash resis­tance IP65 and IP66 so treat this as splash-resis­tant rather than ful­ly water­proof: don’t sub­merge it. You won’t get dual stereo speak­ers on this mod­el, but you do get an IR blaster. The dis­play is a stand­out: a 6.8‑inch large pan­el that looks pre­mi­um at first glance. It’s a curved AMOLED with a high refresh capa­bil­i­ty.

On paper the dis­play sup­ports up to 144Hz, with a default 120Hz feel, and it also offers extreme­ly high bright­ness num­bers Realme lists 6500 nits peak and 1800 nits high bright­ness mode (HBM). The dis­play includes fea­tures Realme calls Hyper Vision AI chip-dri­ven options and an AI Hyper Motion mode that can add frames for smoother play­back where sup­port­ed. There is Always On Dis­play sup­port, though it isn’t a per­ma­nent AOD imple­men­ta­tion the exact behav­ior is some­thing to note if you like always-on clocks and info.

Under the hood the Realme P4 Pro runs on the Qual­comm Snap­drag­on 7 Gen 4 chipset and ships with realme UI 6 based on Android 15. Realme promis­es three years of Android updates and four years of secu­ri­ty updates. In every­day use the phone felt smooth and capa­ble; it isn’t aimed at hard­core gam­ing enthu­si­asts in this price brack­et, but for gen­er­al users and mod­er­ate gamers it per­forms well.

I ran a basic throt­tle test and found the ther­mal bal­ance accept­able noth­ing alarm­ing dur­ing my ini­tial checks. The phone offers smooth frame-rate options in games, includ­ing a 90 fps option and a frame boost mode that can push up to 120 fps depend­ing on the game and set­tings. For longer ses­sions you can expect decent sus­tained per­for­mance, not flag­ship-lev­el ther­mals but con­sis­tent enough for nor­mal gam­ing and heavy apps.

Cam­era hard­ware on the P4 Pro is impres­sive on paper and prac­ti­cal in day­light. The rear hous­es a 50MP main cam­era with a Sony sen­sor (IMX896) and OIS, paired with an 8MP ultra wide. The front cam­era is a 50MP shoot­er as well. I shot a vari­ety of pho­tos and will put sam­ple images in the video descrip­tion via Google Dri­ve for those who want to inspect the orig­i­nals.

The cam­era app offers col­or modes like Crisp and Vibrant; I used Vibrant for many of my day­light shots because that’s how Realme set it by default. Day­light and por­trait pho­tos come out good, with clean 1x and 2x dig­i­tal por­trait options. Low light per­for­mance is soft­er and not class-lead­ing, so good light­ing helps the P4 Pro show its strengths. The phone sup­ports dig­i­tal zoom up to 20x, though detail nat­u­ral­ly drops at extreme zoom lev­els.

On video the P4 Pro sup­ports 4K at 60fps from the main cam­era and also 4K 60fps on the front cam­era, with EIS and sta­bi­liza­tion options avail­able. Dual-video mode, cin­e­mat­ic modes, slo-mo, time-lapse and oth­er video fea­tures are present. Audio qual­i­ty in my indoor record­ing sound­ed good and sta­bi­liza­tion held up while walk­ing in my short tests.

Realme packed sev­er­al AI cam­era and imag­ing fea­tures into the soft­ware: AI Eras­er, AI Ultra Clar­i­ty, Cir­cle to Search and a new tool Realme calls AI Edit Genie. With AI Edit Genie you can tap on an image and give a text prompt for exam­ple “put a cap on this sub­ject or add fly­ing birds and the phone will attempt to apply that edit direct­ly to the pho­to. I test­ed a cou­ple of such edits and they worked in a sur­pris­ing way for a phone-based edi­tor; results will vary by prompt com­plex­i­ty and image con­tent.

Bat­tery life is a major talk­ing point. The P4 Pro includes a mas­sive 7000mAh bat­tery (typ­i­cal 7000mAh, min­i­mum 6830mAh as Realme lists) and sup­ports 80W Ultra Charge with the includ­ed adapter. That com­bi­na­tion gives excel­lent endurance and very fast top-up times for a large bat­tery. Despite the big bat­tery the phone’s weight is around 189 grams and the body is only 7.68mm thin, so Realme has man­aged a good bal­ance of capac­i­ty and design.

Stor­age and mem­o­ry options include up to 12GB RAM and up to 512GB stor­age. The phone sup­ports LPDDR4X RAM, UFS 3.1 stor­age and even Dynam­ic RAM expan­sion (up to an extra 14GB). Con­nec­tiv­i­ty cov­ers dual 5G, Wi-Fi 5/6 sup­port, Blue­tooth 5.4 and a wide set of net­work bands depend­ing on region. The phone retains an in-dis­play opti­cal fin­ger­print sen­sor, IR remote, and sen­sors like gyro­scope and prox­im­i­ty.

On soft­ware: realme UI 6 is fea­ture-rich and, as users of Realme know, includes some first-par­ty apps and a few third-par­ty apps out of the box. You will find some bloat­ware that can be dis­abled, and Realme’s dialer allows call record­ing in regions where that is sup­port­ed I could enable call record­ing with­out an announce­ment in my test unit. Over­all sys­tem nav­i­ga­tion and ani­ma­tions are smooth and the UI feels respon­sive.

Design and fin­ish­es are an inter­est­ing talk­ing point here. Realme offers wood-like fin­ish­es Birch Wood, Dark Oak Wood and Mid­night Ivy and while they look like wood, the mate­r­i­al is poly­car­bon­ate with a mat­te treat­ment. That gives a pre­mi­um look with­out the fragili­ty of glass. The frame match­es the back in mate­r­i­al, so the phone won’t feel slip­pery, and it han­dles every­day use com­fort­ably. Note again that there’s no dual stereo speak­er set­up; audio is good but not stereo-immer­sive.

Cam­era per­for­mance sum­ma­ry: the 50MP Sony main with OIS takes good day­light images, por­traits look decent with the Vibrant col­or pro­file, self­ies are clean with the 50MP front sen­sor and video from the main cam­era sup­ports 4K 60fps with EIS. Low light is usable but not excep­tion­al. The ultra wide is ser­vice­able at 8MP for broad­er scenes.

Per­for­mance sum­ma­ry: the Snap­drag­on 7 Gen 4 deliv­ers smooth every­day per­for­mance and respectable gam­ing results for the price seg­ment. It’s not a hard­core flag­ship gam­ing phone, but frame rate boost options and the 120Hz-capa­ble dis­play make game­play pleas­ing for casu­al and mod­er­ate gamers. Ther­mal and throt­tle tests I ran showed bal­anced behav­ior under load.

If you care about soft­ware longevi­ty, Realme promis­es three years of major Android updates and four years of secu­ri­ty updates for this device, which is good for a mid-range phone and aligns with what many buy­ers expect today.

In short, the Realme P4 Pro brings a long-last­ing bat­tery, fast 80W charg­ing, a vivid high-bright­ness 144Hz AMOLED dis­play and capa­ble Sony-sen­sor cam­eras into a light­weight, wood-fin­ish design. It leans toward users who want excel­lent bat­tery life, a bright and smooth screen, and a cam­era sys­tem that per­forms very well in good light. If you’re look­ing for raw flag­ship gam­ing pow­er you may pre­fer a dif­fer­ent device, but for bal­anced dai­ly per­for­mance, long bat­tery life and a fea­ture-packed cam­era and AI suite, the P4 Pro makes a strong case in its seg­ment.
