Realme P4 Pro 5G – Pros & Cons

Realme P4 Pro 5G – Unboxing

Realme P4 Pro 5G – Design

The Realme P4 Pro 5G is a premium-looking phone, right from its first reveal. The colour variant we had for this review was Birch Wood, and honestly, it looks unlike most phones out there. The back has this tech wood material with a smooth matte finish. It has a unique vibe that feels premium in hand yet subtle at the same time. The matte wood finish also keeps fingerprints and smudges away. So, the phone stays looking clean without constant wiping.

The phone feels ultra-slim and really easy to carry. The 4D Curve+ display also helps the phone sit comfortably in the hand without sharp edges digging in. It is 7.69mm thick and weighs 189g.

The camera module has a glass fibre finish and runs across the top section of the back. It houses three lenses and a flash in neatly cut slots. Thankfully, this camera module doesn’t stick out awkwardly. Even when placed on a flat surface, the phone doesn’t wobble much.

What is most impressive is the solid build quality, even with polycarbonate material. It has IP65 and IP66 dust and water resistance. Realme has made this device completely dust-tight and it can also handle low-pressure water jets.  This means everyday splashes, heavy rain, or even a bit of waterfall spray won’t bother it. There is also the 360° dust-proof and splash-proof protection that makes the phone a lot more robust.

Overall, the design is thoughtful. In everyday use, the Realme P4 Pro 5G feels stylish, lightweight and comfortable to hold.

Realme P4 Pro 5G – Display

The Realme P4 Pro 5G really shines when it comes to the display. You get a 6.8-inch 144Hz HyperGlow AMOLED 4D Curved Display with 1.5K resolution. It has uniformly narrow bezels that make the screen look almost edge-to-edge and offer an immersive experience. The display looks vibrant and the clarity feels cinema-level.

It supports 120FPS for everyday use. This makes the visuals are super smooth and seamless whether you’re watching sports or racing events. Realme also added HDR10+ certification, so movies and shows look brighter and more detailed.

The brand’s claim is that this is the first display in its segment to offer both 1.5K + 120FPS high-spec streaming and 1.5K + 144FPS performance in BGMI, plus support for over 100 games at 144FPS. That’s basically PC-level smoothness on a phone.

Brightness is another strong point of P4 Pro. It hits 1000 nits typical, 1800 nits in HBM and peaks at a massive 6500 nits. We extensively used the phone outdoors in bright daylight and visibility is no issue at all. Colours also look fantastic. The phone has 100% DCI-P3 coverage and 1.07 billion colours support, which is on par with professional monitors.

On top of that, the display is easy on the eyes. It comes with hardware-level low-blue light protection and is TÜV Rheinland certified. Both of which help reduce strain during long use.

Overall, the curved display is streaming and gaming ready.

Realme P4 Pro 5G – Performance

The Realme P4 Pro 5G comes with a dual-chip setup combining the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset with the Hyper Vision AI Chip. This is the first P-series device to feature a dedicated graphics chip. And it does make a difference when it comes to performance. It gives you a premium visual upgrade for both videos and games. The phone feels smoother, sharper, and more responsive, whether scrolling, streaming or gaming.

Speaking of gaming, Realme has gone all out. We discussed above in the display section that the P4 Pro supports cinema-level 120FPS display performance for smooth visuals. But it doesn’t stop there. It’s also the first in its segment to achieve concurrent 1.5K + 144FPS operation in BGMI, delivering PC-level speed on a phone. The gameplay experience is fast, fluid, and immersive with support for over a hundred games at 144FPS.

This phone includes an AI Gaming Coach for BGMI. This tool acts like a tactical assistant during matches, offering Smart Danger Alerts to warn you about footsteps, gunfire, or incoming damage. It also provides in-game status updates, keeping track of teammate health, equipment durability, zone shifts and more. We tried multiple sessions of BGMI, and all the extra boosts really help us stay one step ahead in the game.

We also tested the Realme P4 Pro 5G on leading benchmark platforms and it scored quite well. Here are some benchmarking results for reference –

The phone also has a good heat management system as we didn’t face any heating issues even during long gaming sessions or general multitasking. It features the largest VC cooling system in its class, which is a massive 7000mm² AirFlow VC with ultra-thermal conductive graphite. It uses an advanced internal air chamber structure that covers 57% of the phone’s surface and also dissipates heat efficiently through hot and cold air convection.

This can reduce CPU core temperature by up to 20℃ and ensure a stable performance during extended gaming or multitasking.

The P4 Pro also shines in everyday use with AI-powered productivity features like AI Recording Summary, AI Smart Loop, and Circle to Search. The phone runs on realme UI 6.0 out of the box. Although it comes with a bunch of pre-installed apps, the UI is otherwise user-friendly. Realme promises 3 years of Android OS updates and 4 years of security patches, giving the phone long-lasting value.

Camera Performance

The Realme P4 Pro 5G camera setup checks all the right boxes. The 50MP front and rear AI cameras that offer a good base for photography. On the back, it has the 50MP Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS and on the front, the 50MP OV50D camera is a game-changer.

We found the camera performance to be flagship-grade in most scenarios. The main rear sensor delivers good dynamic range and true-to-life colour reproduction. The shots look natural and vibrant. The camera performs doesn’t take a hit even in low lighting. The night shots come out crisp with reduced motion blur. The camera system has improved light sensitivity, which allows brighter images with finer details even in shadow-heavy environments.

Portraits also get a boost with a more defined bokeh effect that separates the subject cleanly from the background. The phone isn’t equipped for elaborate wide and close-up shots, but it does a decent job. You cannot expect a pro-level performance in that aspect.

As for the front camera, the shots are sharp and it captures better skin tone accuracy. It is good for enhanced group selfies to ensure everyone stays in focus.

The phone has Hypershot Architecture to offer zero shutter lag, faster autofocus lock and a fast shooting speed. It is noticeable when you take action shots, moving subjects or candid moments. These are captured without much hassle.

For video recordings, the phone supports 4K at 60FPS on both front and rear. We captured videos in different lighting and the result is quite impressive. It produces sharp and bright videos while the OIS functions help in keeping the motion in check. It is decent for vlogging or content creation.

Post-processing is also a strong point in this phone. Realme’s AI suite has AI Edit Genie, AI Eraser, AI Unblur and AI Remove Reflections features. These tools are easy to use and can help in fine-tuning images with ease.

Battery Performance

The Realme P4 Pro 5G packs a massive 7000mAh Titan battery, which is impressive for a phone that feels so slim and lightweight. We have used the phone as our main device for over a week and this battery easily lasts beyond a full day. Even after heavy usage, the phone mostly has at least 40 per cent of the battery still left by bedtime.

When it comes to charging, P4 Pro supports 80W Ultra Charge and you get the adapter in the box. A quick 5-minute top-up gives up to 3 hours of streaming power. We got over 50% charge from under 10 % charge in about 25 minutes.

There’s also 10W reverse fast charging along with features like Bypass Charging and AI Smart Charging. Since the phone is aimed at gamers, Bypass charging is a useful feature. It does help in keeping the battery from heating up during long gaming sessions. Meanwhile, AI Smart Charging ensure the battery adapts to user habits.

Verdict – Should You Buy Realme P4 Pro 5G?

The Realme P4 Pro 5G is a well-rounded, feature-packed mid-range phone. The 1.5K 144FPS curved display along with a wood-like matte finish back makes it feel premium instantly. The phone has dual-chip power featuring a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip and a Hyper Vision AI Chip, making it a good choice for gamers and multitaskers. We do think that the camera could have been more versatile, but the phone captures good pictures even in challenging conditions nonetheless. The highlight is the 7000mAh battery that supports 80W charging. If you are a heavy smartphone user, this should easily seal the deal when you are looking for a mid-range device. And the good thing is this powerful battery isn’t evident in the size or compactness of the phone.
