0:00Smartphone brands have spent years
0:02convincing us that thinner, lighter, and
0:05more premium-looking devices are what we
0:07should want. But lately, there’s been a
0:10noticeable shift happening. Instead of
0:12trying to squeeze a little more battery
0:14life out of roughly 5,000 mA hour
0:16battery packs, manufacturers are finally
0:19embracing newer silicon carbon battery
0:21technology to push capabilities far
0:24beyond what was previously possible. And
0:26the Realme P4 Power might be one of the
0:29most interesting examples of that trend
0:31yet. At first glance, it looks like a
0:33fairly typical mid-range smartphone. But
0:36underneath all of that sits this phone’s
0:38biggest talking point, a 10,001
0:42mA hour battery. Now, that’s not a typo,
0:45the one is there. Realme has somehow
0:47managed to fit a battery capacity that’s
0:49closer to a power bank than a smartphone
0:52into a device that we don’t mind using
0:53daily. The question is, whether the rest
0:56of the phone is good enough to make that
0:58battery worth carrying about. So, let’s
1:00find out.
1:06>> [music]
1:07>> Considering the size of the battery
1:09inside, the Realme P4 Power is
1:11surprisingly manageable in hand. The
1:13phone measures 9.08 mm thick and weighs
1:15approximately 223 g. [music] While that
1:18definitely places it on the heavier side
1:20of modern smartphones, it never feels
1:22quite as ridiculous as the battery
1:24[music] capacity might suggest. In fact,
1:26the weight distribution is handled
1:28pretty well. The device features a
1:30curved AMOLED display in front paired
1:32with a relatively modern design language
1:34that helps it avoid looking like the
1:36rugged battery focused smartphones
1:37[music]
1:38of old.
1:39Energizer Power Max. Now, the build
1:41quality feels standard overall.
1:43Polycarbonate frame and rear panel,
1:45volume rocker plus power button on the
1:47right side, dual nano SIM, primary mic
1:50for calls, type-C port, and speaker at
1:52the bottom. And finally, a secondary mic
1:54and IR blaster at the top. Realme has
1:57also included IP66, 68, and 69 ratings
2:00for dust and water resistance, meaning
2:02the P4 power is certified for fresh
2:04water submersion of 1.5 m for up to 30
2:08minutes, as well as protection from dust
2:10size particles, close-range
2:12high-pressure sprays, and high [music]
2:13temperatures of up to 80° C.
2:16And there’s Corning Gorilla Glass 7 eye
2:18protection for the display as well. Of
2:20course, there’s no escaping physics
2:22entirely. Users who prioritize
2:24lightweight designs will immediately
2:25notice the difference as this handset
2:27does sit in the plus-size category.
2:29[music]
2:30Still, for what this phone is trying to
2:32accomplish, Realme has done a
2:34respectable job keeping the overall
2:36dimensions under control
2:37>> [music]
2:37>> matched with a relatively palatable
2:40aesthetic. At the end of the day, style
2:42is subjective, so what do you [music]
2:43think? The Realme P4 power features a
2:46large 6.8-in 1.5K curved AMOLED display
2:50with support for up to a 144-Hz refresh
2:53rate. The panel itself looks good.
2:55Colors appear vibrant out of the box
2:56without it looking excessively
2:58saturated. We did set the display to the
3:00cinematic color profile for our review,
3:02though. Display contrast is naturally
3:04strong thanks to the AMOLED panel, and
3:06viewing angles remain excellent all
3:08throughout. Peak brightness is also
3:10impressive on paper, reaching up to
3:121,800 nits in high brightness mode.
3:14Outdoor visibility remains good even
3:16under direct sunlight with HDR10+
3:18support from the Widevine L1 certified
3:20panel. The high refresh rate also helps
3:22the interface feel noticeably smoother
3:25when scrolling through social media,
3:27browsing websites, or just the menu
3:28itself. For multimedia consumption, the
3:30AMOLED panel does most of the heavy
3:32lifting here since we only have a mono
3:34loud speaker system. Volume does have up
3:37to a 400% mode, but in our opinion,
3:40having a good stereo audio system could
3:42have maybe improved the sound quality.
3:46Whether you’re watching Netflix,
3:47YouTube, or even vertical videos, the
3:48display provides a a and immersive
3:51experience that feels more premium than
3:53what many users might have expected from
3:55a battery focused device. But then
3:57again, if you’re talking about audio
3:59immersion from the model speaker, this
4:01is where it falls short since we can
4:03easily cover the speaker with our palms
4:05or hands, especially when we’re watching
4:07videos horizontally. For biometrics, the
4:10phone features an in-display optical
4:12fingerprint scanner along with face
4:13unlock support. Fingerprint recognition
4:15feels quick and reliable enough for
4:17daily use, while face unlock remains as
4:19a convenient but in our opinion not a
4:21secure option. The camera system on the
4:23Realme P4 Power feels practical rather
4:26than ambitious. At the rear we get a 50
4:28megapixel main camera with OIS and 8
4:30megapixel ultra-wide, while at the front
4:32there’s a 16 megapixel camera for
4:34selfies. The inclusion of optical image
4:37stabilization is arguably more important
4:39than chasing higher megapixel counts,
4:42especially at this price point. In
4:44daylight conditions, the main camera
4:45captures detailed images with good
4:47dynamic range and pleasant color
4:49reproduction. Realme’s image processing
4:51tends to lean towards a more punchier
4:53colors, but results generally remain
4:55social media friendly without appearing
4:57overly artificial. The ultra-wide camera
4:59does its job for landscape photography
5:01and group shot, though image quality
5:03naturally takes a step down as compared
5:05to the primary sensor. But then again,
5:07that’s to be expected. Without a
5:08dedicated telephoto sensor, the high
5:10megapixel main camera surprisingly takes
5:12good shots up to five times zoom.
5:14Anything past that and there’s a
5:15noticeable drop in image quality,
5:17although it’s still fairly usable with
5:18the help of AI post-processing. Video
5:21recording with the main camera tops out
5:23at 4K resolution at 30fps with
5:25electronic stabilization available for
5:27smoother handheld footage. Front camera
5:30recording maxes out at full HD or 1080p
5:32at 30fps, but in our opinion good enough
5:35for video calls. Overall, the camera
5:37system feels perfectly capable for
5:39everyday photography, though it’s clear
5:41that battery life and endurance remain
5:43the primary focus of this device. Users
5:45prioritizing camera performance above
5:47all else will likely find stronger
5:49alternatives elsewhere. But for how much
5:51this phone costs, image quality is more
5:54than decent at its price. Now, out of
5:56the box, the Realme P4 Power runs Realme
5:59UI 7.0 based on Android 16. The overall
6:03experience feels familiar to anyone who
6:05has used a recent Realme smartphone,
6:07maybe even an Oppo or a OnePlus.
6:09Animations remain smooth and the
6:11customization options are plentiful
6:12enough and the software strikes a good
6:14balance between functionality and ease
6:16of use. For AI features, our favorite on
6:19this device is AI writer, which is a
6:21useful tool for those who need their
6:23thoughts written into higher word
6:24counts. While there are still some
6:26pre-installed applications present and
6:28bloatware, most of these can be
6:30uninstalled and the overall software
6:31experience feels polished enough for
6:33day-to-day use. More importantly, the
6:35hardware underneath is capable enough to
6:37keep everything feeling responsive and
6:39fluid. Additionally, in Realme Labs,
6:41there’s a nifty heart rate sensor
6:42featured that utilizes the optical
6:44in-display fingerprint sensor to keep
6:47yourself healthy or to check if you’re
6:49healthy rather. The brains behind the
6:51Realme P4 Power is the MediaTek
6:52Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset paired with
6:55LPDDR4X memory and UFS 3.1 storage. Our
6:59unit is the local sole configuration
7:02available of 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of
7:05internal storage. And no, storage is not
7:07expandable. As expected, the phone
7:09handled our usual tasks for productivity
7:11and leisure without issue. Social media
7:13browsing, content consumption,
7:14messaging, multitasking, and general
7:16day-to-day use all felt smooth and
7:18responsive. Gaming performance is
7:20similarly respectable. In playing
7:22Genshin Impact, our benchmark for heavy
7:24mobile gaming, we could optimally run it
7:27at the low with a bit of medium settings
7:29mixed in with the FPS set to 60. Pushing
7:31it further, we were able to clock in
7:33some Never Neko Everness gameplay with
7:36the graphics set to smooth, which is
7:37equivalent to Genshin’s low set to 60
7:41FPS as well. For both games, we
7:43experienced frame rate drops here and
7:44there, but it is generally playable,
7:47especially for just completing your
7:48daily tasks. It won’t impress those more
7:51akin to playing these titles on a
7:53flagship device. In terms of benchmark
7:56numbers, the Realme P1 powered delivers
7:58solid upper mid-range performance
8:00profile and overall decent scores. Its
8:03AnTuTu V11 score places it comfortably
8:06above the 1 million point mark, while
8:08Geekbench 6 scores for single-core and
8:10multi-core performance show more than
8:11enough processing power for everyday
8:13tasks and heavier multitasking
8:15workloads. Graphic performance is
8:17equally respectable and storage
8:18performance also proves surprisingly
8:20quick. Overall, the P1 power isn’t
8:23trying to compete with flagship gaming
8:24phones at this price point. Instead, it
8:27focuses on delivering a smooth and
8:28balanced user experience while
8:30maintaining exceptional power
8:32efficiency. Now, let’s go to the part
8:34that we’re all excited about, the
8:36battery, which is why this entire phone
8:38exists in the beginning with. The Realme
8:40P1 power features a massive 10,001 mA
8:43hour silicon carbon battery. And to put
8:45that into perspective, most flagship
8:47smartphones today sit at around the
8:505,000 mA hour mark, wherein the P1 power
8:53effectively doubles that capacity
8:55without sacrificing too much on the
8:57phone’s thickness. In our PCMark Work
8:593.0 battery test, the device lasted an
9:01astonishing 29 hours and 54 minutes.
9:04That’s nearly 30 hours of continuous
9:06workload simulation and easily one of
9:08the best battery endurance results we’ve
9:10seen from a smartphone in 2026. Light to
9:13moderate users can realistically stretch
9:15the device across two to three days on
9:16single charge, while heavier users
9:19should comfortably make it through a
9:21full day and well into a second day
9:24before requiring to plug it in. So, in
9:26short, for daily use, battery anxiety is
9:28practically nonexistent. For charging,
9:31this phone supports 80 W wired fast
9:33charging, 27 W reverse wired charging,
9:35and bypass charging. With the included
9:3880 watt charging brick, we were able to
9:39charge up the device from 0% to an hour
9:42and 15 minutes. Meanwhile, bypass
9:44charging allows us to play all day long
9:46while plugged in without worrying about
9:48battery degradation. The reverse
9:50charging feature is particularly useful
9:52given the enormous battery capacity. It
9:54effectively allows the P4 power to
9:56function as a regular power bank,
9:58allowing us to charge accessories like
10:00earbuds, smartwatches, or even other
10:02smartphones. Just make sure you have
10:05type C to type C cable with you. Simply
10:07put, if battery life is your highest
10:09priority, very few smartphones currently
10:11available can compete with what this
10:14phone offers. For connectivity, the
10:17Realme P4 power includes a suite of
10:18modern connectivity features including
10:205G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, USB type
10:23C, GPS, and an infrared blaster. Call
10:26quality remains clear while cellular and
10:28wireless connectivity proves stable
10:30throughout our testing period. [music]
10:32The inclusion of NFC support is also
10:34welcome for contactless paying and
10:35accessory pairing. The Realme P4 power
10:38feels like a smartphone built around a
10:40single question. What if battery anxiety
10:43simply stopped being a problem?
10:45Everything about the device revolves
10:46around that idea. The massive 10,000 1
10:49milliamp hour battery changes how you
10:50approach daily smartphone use. Instead
10:53of constantly checking battery
10:55percentage or carrying around a power
10:57bank, this phone simply keeps on going.
11:00What’s impressive is that Realme didn’t
11:01completely sacrifice the rest of the
11:03experience to achieve all of that. The
11:06AMOLED display looks excellent.
11:08Performance is solid. Software remains
11:10smooth. And the cameras are perfectly
11:12capable for everyday photography. Of
11:14course, [music] compromises still exist
11:16though. The phone is heavier than most
11:18of its competitors, and the cameras
11:21aren’t really that class leading. And
11:23overall, some users might just prefer to
11:25use a slimmer device instead of choosing
11:28extreme battery capacity. But honestly,
11:31that misses the point of what the P4
11:32Power is trying to be. This isn’t a
11:35camera-first flagship killer or [music]
11:37performance-first device. It’s a
11:39battery-first smartphone that happens to
11:42do everything else surprisingly decent.
11:44For travelers, students, gamers, field
11:46workers, content consumers, and anyone
11:49who is simply tired of charging every
11:50night, that’s a proposition that becomes
11:53increasingly [music]
11:53attractive. But, what do you guys think
11:55of the Realme P4 Power? Would you rather
11:58choose a phone that has less battery but
12:01more power or a power bank-like phone?
