Tag: Realme vs POCO.

Imagine a phone that refuses to die even after 10 hours of non-stop BGMI. Now imagine that same phone being slimmer than your wallet. The Realme P4 5G has officially landed in India, and it’s doing something we thought was impossible: stuffing a 7000mAh Titan Battery into a chassis that is only 7.58mm thick.

Launched at an aggressive price of ₹17,999 (with bank offers pushing it down further), the P4 5G isn’t just another mid-range slab. It’s a targeted strike at the “Power” segment dominated by POCO and Samsung’s M-series. The real truth is, Realme is tired of being called a “lifestyle brand.” With a 144Hz HyperGlow AMOLED and a dedicated Pixelworks graphics chip, the P4 5G is a hardcore performance machine disguised as a stylish accessory. But does that massive battery come with compromises in weight and camera? Let’s find out.

2. DESIGN & BUILD (The 7.58mm Magic)

How did they do it? That’s the first question everyone asks when they hold the Realme P4 5G. Usually, a 7000mAh battery makes a phone feel like a brick (think Samsung M51). But at 185 grams, the P4 5G is lighter than many phones with 5000mAh batteries.

• Materials: The back is made of a high-quality polycarbonate with a Matte AG finish that resists fingerprints effectively.
• In-Hand Feel: Because it’s so thin (7.58mm), it slides into pockets effortlessly. The edges are slightly curved, which helps with the grip during long gaming sessions.
• Durability: It carries an IP65/66 rating, meaning it can survive heavy splashes and rain, but don’t take it for a swim.

3. DISPLAY & VISUALS (Sunlight King)

The screen on the Realme P4 5G is a 6.77-inch HyperGlow AMOLED. It’s not just big; it’s incredibly bright.

• Brightness: It peaks at a staggering 4500 nits. In our testing, the “Sunlight Mode” makes the screen perfectly legible even under the harsh 2:00 PM sun in Delhi.
• Refresh Rate: While most competitors offer 120Hz, Realme has gone up to 144Hz. This makes the UI feel butter-smooth, provided the app supports it.
• PWM Dimming: It features 3840Hz PWM Dimming, which is a blessing for people who get headaches or eye strain while using their phones at night in low brightness.

4. PERFORMANCE & GAMING (GT Mode Unleashed)

The Dimensity 7400 Ultra isn’t the most powerful chip in the world (the POCO X7 Pro beats it in raw benchmarks), but it’s exceptionally efficient.

• BGMI Test: It supports 90 FPS out of the box. Thanks to the dedicated Pixelworks X7P chip, the phone can use “Super Frame” technology to interpolate frames, making 60 FPS feel like 90 FPS.
• Multitasking: With up to 18GB Dynamic RAM (8GB physical + 10GB virtual), the phone keeps about 15-20 apps in memory without refreshing.
• Cooling: There is a 5300mm² VC FrostCore Cooling System. After 45 minutes of Genshin Impact, the phone reached 38°C—which is very impressive given its slim profile.

5. CAMERA PERFORMANCE

Don’t waste your money if you are expecting a professional-grade camera. The P4 5G is a performance and battery phone first.

• Main Sensor: The 50MP OmniVision OV50D40 sensor takes great shots in daylight. The colors are punchy (classic Realme style), and the AI scene enhancement does a good job with landscapes.
• Ultra-Wide: The 8MP lens is decent for group photos but loses detail around the edges.
• Low Light: Without OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), night shots can be hit-or-miss. You need very steady hands to get a sharp image in “Night Mode.”
• Video: It can record 4K at 30fps. The Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) is aggressive but works well to smooth out walking jitters.

6. BATTERY & ENDURANCE (The “Titan” Battery)

This is the reason you buy this phone. The 7000mAh battery is a beast.

• Real-World Endurance:
  • YouTube Streaming: 20.6 Hours.
  • Instagram/Reels: 25.5 Hours.
  • Continuous Gaming: 9 Hours.
• Charging Speed: The 80W Ultra Charge is surprisingly fast for such a large capacity.
  • 0-50% in 25 minutes.
  • Full charge (0-100%) in about 76 minutes.
• Bypass Charging: This is a pro-gamer feature. You can plug the phone in and the power will go directly to the motherboard, bypassing the battery. This prevents heating and saves battery health.

7. THE COMPETITION

Realme P4 5G vs POCO X7 Pro 5G vs Samsung Galaxy M36 5G

Feature	Realme P4 5G	POCO X7 Pro 5G	Samsung M36 5G
Battery	7000 mAh	6550 mAh	5000 mAh
Processor	Dimensity 7400 Ultra	Dimensity 8400 Ultra	Exynos 1380
Refresh Rate	144 Hz	120 Hz	120 Hz
Charging	80W	90W	25W
IP Rating	IP66	IP69	N/A

Winner: If your priority is Battery Life and Display, the Realme P4 5G is the clear winner. However, if you want the absolute Highest Gaming Performance, the POCO X7 Pro still holds the crown with its superior chipset.

8. FINAL VERDICT

The Realme P4 5G is a specialized tool. It’s built for the Indian “active user”—the college student who attends classes all day, plays games in the canteen, and watches movies all night without wanting to look for a charger.
