Pros of the Realme P4 Pro
Massive Battery and Ultra-Fast Charging: It features a huge 7,000mAh battery combined with 80W Ultra Charge fast charging, offering excellent endurance and quick recharges.
Excellent Display Quality: The phone has a brilliant 144Hz AMOLED curved display with a high resolution and very high peak brightness (6500 nits claimed), making it great for media and outdoor use.
Slim and Lightweight for its Battery Size: Despite packing a 7,000mAh battery, the phone is remarkably slim (around 7.7mm) and light (around 189g), which improves handling.
Strong Performance and Gaming Features: It's powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor and includes a dedicated Hyper Vision AI Chip to enhance gaming, promising smoother performance and features like 144FPS frame-generation.
High-Resolution Main and Front Cameras: It features a high-resolution 50MP main rear camera with OIS and a 50MP front-facing camera, capable of 4K video recording at 60fps from both sides.
Cons of the Realme P4 Pro
Average Ultra-Wide Camera and Zoom: The secondary 8MP ultra-wide camera is considered a weak point for its price range, and the zoom quality beyond 2x is often poor due to the lack of a dedicated telephoto lens.
Audio Quality Lacks Depth: The stereo speakers are loud but lack bass and depth, sounding a bit flat or tinny, and the phone does not support Dolby Atmos.
Software Bloat and Inconsistencies (Realme UI): The software (Realme UI 6.0) comes with a significant amount of pre-installed apps (bloatware), and some users report occasional minor bugs or inconsistencies.
Missing Features for a Mid-Range Phone: It lacks NFC support and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which can be drawbacks for modern payment methods and audio connectivity.
144Hz Refresh Rate Not Consistently Used: While the display is rated for 144Hz, the operating system and most non-gaming apps are capped at 120Hz or lower, meaning the full refresh rate is only seen in a few specific scenarios.
