Realme P4 Power Impresses with Outstanding Battery Capacity
The Realme P4 Power has emerged as a new champion in battery life, boasting an enormous 10,001mAh battery that has caught the attention of tech enthusiasts. Despite its huge capacity, the phone manages to avoid the bulky feel often associated with large batteries, measuring 162.3 x 76.2 x 9.1mm and weighing 219g. This makes it quite manageable for a device featuring a sizeable 6.8-inch display.
One of the standout aspects of the P4 Power’s battery is its use of next-generation Silicon-Carbon technology, which Realme claims can retain at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,650 charge cycles, equating to roughly eight years of use. This longevity is a significant advancement, giving users confidence that their device will maintain strong battery health over time.
Battery Life and Charging Performance
In battery endurance tests, the Realme P4 Power topped the charts with an impressive Active Use Score of 25 hours and 35 minutes, outpacing many premium smartphones. For context, the OnePlus 15R, which sports a 7,400mAh battery and costs substantially more, scored 21 hours and 36 minutes. Other large battery phones, like the Realme 16 Pro+ and Moto Edge 60, fell short of the P4 Power’s stamina, highlighting how well Realme has optimised power usage.
Charging speeds are equally noteworthy. The P4 Power supports 80W SuperVOOC fast charging alongside 55W USB PPS. During testing with an 80W SuperVOOC charger, the phone achieved 27% charge in just 15 minutes, matching the Redmi Note 15 Pro which has a smaller 6,580mAh battery and slower 45W charging. While the phone begins to lag behind competitors after the 30-minute mark, it still reaches 45% charge, sufficient for a full day’s use. A full charge takes approximately 79 minutes, only slightly longer than other phones with smaller batteries and similar charging technologies.
Comparisons and Market Position
The Realme P4 Power is priced competitively at ₹30,000 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant in India, matching the cost of the Realme P4 Pro. However, the P4 Pro has a smaller 7,000mAh battery and charges fully about 27 minutes faster with the same 80W SuperVOOC system. This positions the P4 Power as an excellent choice for users prioritising battery life without a premium price tag.
Its predecessor, the Realme P3 Ultra, featured a 6,000mAh battery, underscoring how quickly battery technology and capacity are advancing in Realme’s lineup. The P4 Power’s balance of size, capacity, and charging speed demonstrates Realme’s commitment to delivering practical and durable devices for everyday use.
What’s Next for Realme P4 Power?
Realme India is set to launch the P4 Power on February 5, and further testing is underway to explore additional performance aspects. Given its remarkable battery life and fast charging capabilities, the P4 Power is poised to attract consumers looking for long-lasting smartphones that don’t compromise on usability. Stay tuned for the full review to get a comprehensive understanding of this promising device.
