realme P4 Review: 7000mAh, 144Hz AMOLED, and a Mid-Range Battery Phone That Gets the Basics Right

The P4 is the kind of battery phone that still remembers to be a proper mid-ranger.

That is important, because a lot of endurance-first phones end up feeling lopsided. They talk loudly about battery life and then quietly cut too much elsewhere. The P4 does a better job of avoiding that trap.

The big battery is supported by 80W charging, a strong AMOLED display, and a more credible chipset than many rivals in this zone. That makes the phone easier to recommend because it does not ask you to become a specialist battery buyer just to like it.

Instead, the P4 feels like a mainstream mid-ranger that happens to be very strong on endurance. That is a better place to be.

Battery, display, and chipset are all pulling in the same direction.

The 7000mAh battery is the obvious hook, but it matters that the phone backs it up with 80W charging. That keeps the big cell convenient instead of turning it into a recharge tax.

The 144Hz AMOLED panel and Dimensity 7400 Ultra are what elevate the phone. They make the P4 feel like it belongs in a healthy mid-range conversation, not just a battery discussion. Wi-Fi 6 and a decent update promise help reinforce that impression.

Even the weight at 185g is surprisingly well managed for what the phone is trying to do. That helps the P4 feel less cumbersome than some endurance-first alternatives.

The omissions are real, even if they do not ruin the phone.

No OIS means the camera story stays competent rather than confident. No NFC and no expandable storage also reduce how complete the package feels, especially for buyers who keep phones a long time and care about practical flexibility.

The ingress rating is also decent rather than exceptional. IP66/IP65 is useful, but it does not create the same reassurance as some stronger durability claims in the market. That matters more when a phone is already positioning itself as an everyday dependable workhorse.

Still, these are manageable trade-offs. They are not the sort of compromises that collapse the value case. They simply stop the P4 from being perfect.

This is a very good option for buyers who want battery confidence without buying a strange phone.

If your top needs are long battery life, fast charging, a strong screen, and enough chipset headroom that the phone still feels modern, the P4 has a lot going for it. It is especially attractive to buyers who want a battery-first phone that still behaves like a normal mid-ranger.

It is a weaker fit for camera-first buyers or for people who insist on NFC and storage flexibility. Those people should compare the alternatives before committing.

The short version.
