Third-party reviews

What customers like about realme P4 Lite

  • The 6.8-inch screen gives plenty of room for video and reading.
  • The 120 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and swiping look smooth.
  • 5G connectivity keeps mobile data fast where the network allows.
  • NFC is included for quick pairing and contactless payments.
  • HDR mode and phase-detection autofocus help the main camera in tricky light.
  • Camera and microphone privacy controls let you block access.

What customers don't like about realme P4 Lite

  • 4 GB of RAM can slow down when several apps stay open.
  • There is no ultrawide camera, so wide landscapes and group photos need a step back.
  • No optical image stabilization, so handheld video in low light shakes more.
  • Operating system updates do not come directly from the maker.
  • The 254 ppi screen looks softer than sharper displays, so small text can look fuzzy.

Verdict

The main draw of the realme P4 Lite is its 6.8-inch screen at 120 Hz, a budget phone for people who mostly scroll, watch video and send messages. Scrolling and swiping look smooth, and this one also has 5G, NFC and a multi-lens main camera. Some things had to give way to reach that price. There is 4 GB of RAM, the chip is made on a 12 nm process, and the display has only 254 ppi, so text looks softer than on sharper screens. There is no ultrawide camera and no optical image stabilization, so low-light photos need a steady hand. Updates do not come directly from the maker. It suits a buyer who wants a large, smooth screen for everyday apps and does not need heavy gaming or detailed photos.
