Realme has consistently targeted the performance and value segments of the Indian smartphone market. With the launch of the Realme P4x 5G, the brand introduces a new proposition: a phone that prioritizes two key demands of the modern user—unmatched battery life and sustained high performance, all while keeping the price highly competitive.
The Realme P4x 5G stands out with its segment-leading 7,000mAh battery and the inclusion of the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra 5G chipset. Positioned aggressively in the sub-₹18,000 category, the P4x aims to be the undisputed champion for heavy users, gamers, and those who simply hate carrying a power bank. This full review explores its innovative design, tests its raw performance and camera capabilities, and assesses its overall value proposition in the crowded Indian market.
Design and Display: A Bold, Durable Aesthetic
The P4x doesn’t shy away from making a statement, embracing what Realme terms an “Aerospace-Inspired Design” combined with a focus on durability.
A. New Design Language
- Aesthetic: The design is characterized by a sleek, vertical pill-shaped camera module that houses the dual sensors and LED flash. This gives the rear panel a clean, modern, and distinct look, available in attractive finishes like Matte Silver, Elegant Pink, and Lake Green.
- Build & Ergonomics: Despite packing a colossal 7,000mAh battery, the phone maintains a respectable thickness of 8.39mm and weighs 208 grams. While not the lightest in the segment, the weight is balanced, and the matte texture on the back resists fingerprints well, providing a solid and secure grip.
- Durability: A crucial addition is the IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, offering peace of mind against everyday hazards.
B. The 144Hz Ultra-Smooth Display
While many rivals in this segment opt for AMOLED, the P4x features a highly capable LCD panel focused on speed.
| Specification | Details |
| Size & Resolution | 6.72-inch Full HD+ (1,080 x 2,400 pixels) LCD |
| Refresh Rate | 144Hz Ultra-Smooth Refresh Rate |
| Brightness | Up to 1,000 nits Peak Brightness (Sunlight Display) |
| Audio | Dual Stereo Speakers |

The 144Hz refresh rate is a segment-leading feature, making scrolling, animations, and particularly gaming feel exceptionally fluid. While LCD panels offer less contrast than AMOLED, the P4x compensates with high brightness, ensuring clear outdoor visibility, and loud dual stereo speakers that enhance the multimedia and gaming experience.
Performance and 5G Capability: The Dimensity 7400 Ultra
The “P” in the P4x stands for Performance, and the phone delivers this through a powerful and efficient 5G chipset, paired with fast memory.
A. Core Hardware
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra 5G (6nm Octa-core)
- RAM/Storage: Up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 Storage
- Cooling: 5,300mm² VC Frostcore Cooling System
The Dimensity 7400 Ultra is a mid-range performance beast, scoring an impressive AnTuTu benchmark score of over 780,000. More importantly, the inclusion of UFS 3.1 storage—a feature often reserved for higher-end phones—means faster app loading, file transfers, and overall snappier system responsiveness, giving the P4x a crucial advantage over competitors still using UFS 2.2.
B. Gaming and Sustained Performance
- Gaming: The P4x is optimized for competitive gaming, boasting support for up to 90 FPS gameplay in popular titles like BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile. The 144Hz display, combined with the VC cooling system, allows the phone to sustain high frame rates with minimal throttling or overheating.
- 5G & Connectivity: The Dimensity 7400 Ultra provides robust multi-band 5G connectivity, ensuring fast and reliable network performance across various carriers in India. The phone runs on Realme UI 6.0 (based on Android 15), which is clean, feature-rich, and optimized for smooth performance.
Battery Life and Charging: The Titan 7,000mAh Advantage
The P4x’s battery is its ultimate defining feature, setting a new standard for endurance in the mid-range segment.
A. Unmatched Endurance
- Capacity: 7,000mAh Titan Battery
- Real-World Usage: The phone can easily last up to two full days with moderate to casual usage, a remarkable feat that eliminates battery anxiety for most users. Even under heavy gaming or video streaming, it comfortably powers through a full day and well into the next.
B. Charging Speed
- Technology: 45W Wired Fast Charging (Charger included in the box)
- Charging Time: Despite the massive capacity, the 45W charging is reasonably quick, taking the phone from 0% to 100% in approximately 90-98 minutes.
- Extra Features: It supports Bypass Charging (which powers the device directly, reducing heat during gaming) and Reverse Charging (allowing the phone to act as a power bank for other devices).
Camera Test: Focusing on Core Clarity
The camera system on the P4x is functional and capable, though it leans towards performance rather than high-end photography.
A. Camera Specifications
| Camera | Resolution & Aperture | Sensor & Features |
| Main Rear | 50 MP (f/1.8) | AI Main Camera, PDAF |
| Secondary Rear | 2 MP (f/2.4) | Monochrome/Depth Sensor |
| Front Selfie | 8 MP (f/2.0) | Wide Angle |

B. Performance Analysis
- Daylight Photography: The 50MP primary sensor captures vibrant images with good sharpness and clarity, especially in well-lit outdoor conditions. Realme’s AI tuning often applies a pleasant saturation boost to colors, resulting in photos that are immediately ready for social media.
- Low-Light Performance: In dimly lit conditions, the camera output is competent for the price point. While visible noise is present when pixel-peeping, the software does a decent job of brightening scenes, offering a usable output for casual night shots. The lack of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) requires steady hands.
- Video Recording: The phone supports 4K video recording at 30 FPS, which is excellent for this segment. Video stabilization (via EIS) is offered at 1080p, providing smooth recordings for daily vlogging or family videos.
- Selfies: The 8MP front camera captures good daylight selfies with decent skin tones and adequate detail, though it is not the strongest aspect of the phone.

Final Verdict: The Endurance King
The Realme P4x 5G is a focused and compelling smartphone. It is not an all-rounder in the traditional sense, but rather a specialist. It targets the pain points of the modern mobile user—sluggish performance and constant battery anxiety—and solves them decisively.
The combination of the Dimensity 7400 Ultra and the 7,000mAh Titan battery creates an unparalleled experience in the mid-range: a device that performs fast, stays cool, and simply refuses to die. If your priorities are performance, gaming, and multi-day battery life above all else, the Realme P4x 5G is the benchmark device to own in this price segment.
