realme P4 Pro Review: 7000mAh, 50MP Selfies, and a Mid-Range Phone That Makes the P Series Easier to Recommend

The P4 Pro feels like realme actually finished the job this time.

The regular P4 already had a strong base. The Pro adds the things that make the whole formula easier to defend: a better chipset, curved AMOLED panel, OIS, and a much stronger selfie-camera story. That changes the tone of the phone from "good battery-led mid-ranger" to "genuinely complete mainstream contender."

That matters because battery-first phones often end up narrow. They speak loudly to one kind of user and ask everyone else to compromise. The P4 Pro avoids a lot of that by making the screen, performance, and cameras more credible.

It is not perfect, but it is one of the better examples of how to build a battery-led phone without making it feel like a specialist device.

The P4 Pro has the hardware shape of a phone that wants to be used heavily and enjoyed daily.

The 7000mAh battery with 80W charging remains the foundation, and that alone is enough to keep the phone relevant. What helps more is that it is paired with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 and a richer display. So the phone should not just last long. It should also feel more expensive while doing it.

The 50MP selfie camera is another useful identity marker. It gives the phone more lifestyle appeal than many battery-led models have, while OIS on the rear camera keeps the imaging story respectable and usable. This is not only about endurance. It is about giving that endurance package enough polish to travel further up the market.

The result is a phone that feels more intentional than most large-battery rivals. That is a real strength.

The P4 Pro still gives away a few things that matter in this bracket.

No NFC and no expandable storage are the clearest omissions. For some buyers, that will not matter. For others, those are the exact sort of missing practical features that make a premium-feeling phone seem slightly unfinished.

The ingress story is also okay rather than class-leading. IP66/IP65 is useful, but not as reassuring as some nearby phones now manage. The rear camera setup is good, not wildly ambitious. So while the P4 Pro is better balanced than the standard model, it still has a few places where it stops short of total category leadership.

This is a very solid option for buyers who want battery confidence without giving up too much mid-range quality.

If you want long battery life, fast charging, a better selfie camera, and a more premium screen without jumping into far more expensive territory, the P4 Pro makes sense. It is one of the easier phones in this class to justify on more than one axis.

It is a weaker fit for buyers who prioritize NFC, storage flexibility, or the strongest durability story. Those buyers should still compare before settling.

The short version.
