Realme P4 Pro 5G Launch in India: A Phone That Wants to Be More Than Mid-Range
New Delhi, Aug. 21, 2025 — Another launch day. Another crowded briefing room. Banners with “Pro Power, Pro Speed” plastered across screens. And in the middle of it, the Realme P4 Pro 5G — a phone that tries, almost desperately, to convince you that mid-range doesn’t have to mean compromise.
I held it for the first time and thought — thin. Almost too thin for the kind of battery they claim is inside.
Price First, Because That’s What Everyone Asks
The Realme P4 Pro 5G is priced to provoke curiosity:
- ₹24,999 for 8 GB + 128 GB
- ₹26,999 for 8 GB + 256 GB
- ₹28,999 for 12 GB + 256 GB
Sales go live 27 August on Flipkart, Realme India’s website, and yes, the usual offline shelves. And of course, launch offers. Bank discounts. Exchange bonuses. Marketing scripts we’ve heard before, but still — in this segment, every ₹1,000 matters.
Under the Hood: Snapdragon + A Little Extra
Inside, you get the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. Solid enough. But Realme added a HyperVision AI chip — and that’s where they’re trying to sell the magic. “Better frames, sharper videos, smoother gaming.” On stage, the demo looked slick. But, to be honest, I’ve seen too many “AI-powered” pitches to trust them without long hours of testing.
Still, paired with Android 15 and Realme UI 6.0, and up to 12 GB RAM, it feels responsive. Quick. Almost like it wants to punch above its weigh
The Display That Wants to Show Off
This part impressed me. A 6.8-inch curved AMOLED panel with 144 Hz refresh rate and a blinding 6,500 nits peak brightness. Numbers that scream “flagship.” Protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, wrapped in a body that weighs just 189 grams and measures 7.68 mm thin.
And yes, it has IP68 and IP69 ratings. Dust, water, rain — it can take a beating. In a way, Realme knows Indian buyers don’t just want beauty; they want survival.
Cameras: Fewer, But Better?
No gimmicky quad-lens setup here. Just two on the back — a 50 MP Sony IMX896 primary with OIS and an 8 MP ultrawide. And then, a 50 MP selfie camera up front that can do 4K 60 fps.
I like the honesty. No “2 MP macro for the spec sheet.” Just the essentials, done right — at least on paper.

Battery: The Big Promise
This is where the phone almost feels unreal. A 7,000 mAh battery in something this slim? Claimed. And then, 80 W fast charging plus 10 W reverse charging.
To keep things cool, Realme shoved in a 7,000 sq mm AirFlow VC cooling system. Which basically means — go ahead, play BGMI or Genshin Impact for hours, it won’t roast your hands. At least, that’s the promise.
First Impressions: A Mid-Range That Wants the Flagship Tag
So here’s the messy truth. The Realme P4 Pro 5G feels like a phone trying to step out of its price box. The display is flagship-level, the battery is massive, the cameras are respectable, and the IP68/IP69 rating is something most rivals don’t even bother with.
But it’s still in that risky territory — where specs look perfect on slides, but real-world use decides the story. Will that HyperVision AI chip actually change gaming? Will the 7,000 mAh battery last two days without throttling performance? These are the questions buyers in India will ask before spending ₹25,000.
Final Verdict on Realme P4 Pro 5G
Realme didn’t build this for the casual user. This is for the multitasker, the mobile gamer, the person streaming movies at full brightness under the Delhi sun. It’s for the buyer who wants Realme P4 Pro 5G specs close to flagship, but at a price their wallet doesn’t hate.
And maybe that’s why the phone already feels like it will stir the sub-₹30K market. Because in 2025, buyers don’t just want a “good phone.” They want everything. And Realme, once again, is trying to give it to them.
