What we like about realme P4 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Huge 7,000mAh battery offering excellent endurance, often lasting two days with casual use.
  • Fast 80W wired charging, reaching 50% in about 25 minutes.
  • Slim and lightweight design (189g, 7.69mm thick) despite the massive battery.
  • Bright, sharp 6.8-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with great outdoor visibility and deep blacks.
  • Smooth performance for daily use and sustained gaming, powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and a Hyper Vision AI chip.
  • Good main 50MP and front 50MP cameras that capture detailed, vibrant images in good lighting and decent low-light shots.
  • Solid build quality with an IP65/IP66 or IP68/IP69 rating (varies by source/variant) for dust and splash resistance.
  • Guaranteed 3 OS updates and 4 years of security updates, which is a good policy for its price segment.
  • IR blaster for controlling other devices.

What we don't like about realme P4 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • The 144Hz refresh rate is often a spec-sheet gimmick, as most apps run at 120Hz.
  • The 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera underperforms, lacking detail and consistent color accuracy compared to the main sensor.
  • Speakers lack depth and bass, with no Dolby Atmos support, resulting in average sound quality.
  • Realme UI comes with some preinstalled bloatware and occasional minor software glitches.
  • AI frame generation in games can introduce input latency, which is a drawback for competitive players.
  • No NFC support.
  • Prone to heating issues during heavy usage or long gaming sessions, despite the cooling system.

Verdict

The realme P4 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB variant) is a mid-range smartphone known for its impressive balance of performance and battery life, featuring a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, a massive 7,000mAh battery with 80W fast charging, and a vivid 6.8-inch 144Hz AMOLED curved display with 6,500 nits peak brightness. Key pros include its slim and light build (189g, 7.68mm thick), a capable 50MP main camera with OIS that supports 4K 60fps video recording, and an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance. However, reviewers note some cons, such as average audio quality that lacks bass, the 144Hz refresh rate being a marketing gimmick as most apps run at 120Hz, and the phone tending to heat up during extended use or heavy gaming sessions.
