realme P4 Lite

The P4 Lite is a basic 4G phone: ₹16,499 for 4GB + 64GB and ₹18,499 for 4GB + 128GB. It is for calls, messages and video, for someone who has no use for 5G and wants a slim phone.

It runs a UNISOC T7250 with a 6.74-inch 90Hz LCD, a 6,300 mAh battery with 15W charging, a 13MP rear camera and IP54 splash resistance, in a body 7.94mm thick. Reverse charging lets it top up earbuds or another phone at 6W, and the tray takes a microSD card.

The catch is its own family. The P4s Lite costs the same ₹16,499 for 4GB + 64GB and brings a 7,000 mAh battery, a 120Hz screen and IP64. The C100i is ₹500 cheaper with 6,500 mAh. Unless you prefer the P4 Lite's slimmer body, look at those first, and note that no update promise is published.
