realme P4 Pro 5G

The P4 Pro 5G is the performance-per-rupee pick in realme's P range, sold as 8GB + 256GB for ₹30,999. It is for gamers and heavy users who want a fast Snapdragon chip and a big battery without paying GT prices.

You get the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 with realme's separate Hyper Vision AI graphics chip, a 6.8-inch 144Hz AMOLED screen rated at 6,500 nits peak, a 7,000 mAh battery with 80W charging and 10W reverse charging, and a 50MP Sony main camera with stabilisation. Front and rear cameras both record 4K at 60fps, and it is 7.68mm thick.

The catch is durability and software. It is rated IP65 and IP66, so it handles splashes and jets rather than a dunk, and the 8MP ultrawide is basic. It runs Android 15 and realme publishes no update promise. For ₹9,000 more, the GT 7T's Dimensity 8400-MAX and 120W charging are the next step up.
