Realme P4x 5G Review: Performance Champ But With a Catch

Several Realme P-series phones have focused on performance and price at the same time as being competitively priced. The company recently launched the Realme P4 line, including the realme p4 and its successors (P4 Pro) – which was also an attractive option in its price segment with a balance of sleek design and gaming-centric performance. In a bid to help its ambitions of increasing market share in the low-budget space, the company has launched the Realme P4x 5G (which is below the realme PS4) as part of its device portfolio.

Rs. 1 The Realme P4x 5G price starts in India with a realme at Rs? The base variant has 6GB of RAM and 128gb of onboard storage, with 15,499 for the base version. It’s also a close cousin to competitors such as the Moto G67 Power, Redmi 15 5G and the new Realme C85 5g. Do you think it is the best to be?

Realme P4x 5G Design: Bold but Not Loud

• Dimensions – 165.85 × 75.98 × 8.39mm
• Weight – 208g
• Colours – Matte Silver, Elegant Pink, and Lake Green (reviewed)
• Ingress rating – IP64

But this year, the aesthetics of the Realme P4x 5G take a more sophisticated route with its approach to style than it is in previous years. It follows the design of its predecessor and re-builds on it with subtle tweaks, leading to a good looking handset. While polycarbonate is still used for the mid-frame and rear panel of a design, it feels clean with flat edges and’matte finish that gives the phone soaring more premium in-hand feel’.

The Lake Green colourway of the Realme 15x 5G certainly stands out, but isn’t loud

Nevertheless, the finish also makes the P4x 5G very slippery so it’s time to use the brand’Stuffiant TPU case.

A tall and boxy handset, but the rounded corners ensure that the phone doesn’t dig into the palm. It is a fairly well balanced device, which makes the device comfortable for one-handed use. It seems like Realme was inspired by Samsung, and the most notable design element is the raised camera module. Individual camera rings are placed on a slightly raised strip of the individual camera. The phone also wobbles noticeably when placed on a flat surface while it adds to the aesthetics.

The power and volume buttons are located on the right side of the frame

It’s not by any means understated that the Lake Green colour option we were given is a choice of over-the-counter colours. But it does not sound loud, and the soft metallic finish subtly re-translates tones under light. matte texture, which resists fingerprints and smudges.

Realme P4x 5G Display: On Par with Competition

• Size and resolution – 6.72-inch Full HD LCD, 1,080 x 2,400 pixels
• Refresh rate – 144Hz

There’s a lot of speculation about whether the Realme P4x 5G will be displayed according to its on-paper specifications, and is not just an answer for “what does it mean”? Similarly, on the one hand it has an LCD panel with some compromises; in this segment its 144Hz refresh rate is rare. The 6 digit handsets are used in real life as the device’s is. 72-inch screen creates visuals with a neutral colour profile from ‘normally white’ colours. My test of Redmi 15C 5G with the P4x 5g and the former punches more colour, even if it is on display profile of Realme phone which will be Vivid.

Realme P4x 5G’s display produces fairly sharp visuals and is good for binge-watching

In the case of that, it’s good sharpness and clarity overall; you won’t be able to binge-watch YouTube or OTT apps without being an pixel-peeper. The viewing angles are suitable for an LCD panel. Also, it has Widevine L1 certification for Netflix and HDR playback support on YouTube.

The Realme P4x 5G has a 144Hz refresh rate, but there’s. In the same way as Redmi 15 5G we reviewed earlier this year, for most usage cases it is capped at 120Hz. In some cases it jumps higher (e.g. in the Calculator and Recorder apps), but those aren’t apps you’ll often use, though there are a few examples where it does so. Scrolling does not feel like a smooth scroll, and UI animations are snappy even though this is the case with scrolling.

The bezels are consistent on all three sides, except for the thick chin

Realme, although not an AMOLED panel, has added a “smart on-display tap-towake” feature to the P4x 5G in ‘an even brighter note’. This short-lived alerts, reminders and other small details are not waking the entire screen — it’s a nice touch.

Despite the fact that may be in danger of outdoor legibility, it could be a concern to me. While the alleged 1,000-nit peak brightness is good enough for indoor use, I was at times under intense sunlight or outdoor conditions.

Realme P4x 5G Performance and Software: Impressive Yet Inconsistent

• RAM and Storage – Up to 8GB, Up to 256GB (UFS 3.1)

• Updates Promised – 2 years OS, 3 years security

The MediaTek Dimensity 7400-Ultra chipset is the source of Realme P4x 5G. P4x While the ‘P’ in P4,x is not officially a performance-oriented device, real-world usage suggests it wouldn’t be bad if it did. This phone supports as much as 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of onboard storage.

in the a price segment where OEMs usually offer UFS 2 on average. Realme has used UFS 3 instead of 2 storage, with a choice for the . impressive 1 , which means app opening, installation and file transfers faster.

Day-to-day performance is smooth. My did not experience lag or system slowdowns when I made calls, sent messages, took photos and browsing social media. It supports 90fps gameplay in Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), and it maintained a consistent frame rate of 85–87fpms at HD and High settings. I also did not face a problem in Call of Duty Mobile when playing at Very High graphics and very high frame rate.

A 5,300 sq. – which is cool under sustained load and has impressive thermal control, the phone remains cool with its cooling power. The cooling system of mm VC is . About 30 minutes of intense Call Of Duty Mobile gameplay, I felt a little warmth but it didn’t feel awkward.

The brand has emphasized AI experiences in Realme UI 6 apps such as Camera, Gallery, Notes and others on the software front. Paraphrasing 0. It can also be searched on Google’s Circle to Search. Lock screen customisation is available, and there are a Live Alerts feature similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island.

Furthermore, there are Realme’s standard AI features like the following AI Eraser, AI Recorder and AI Glare Remover (for productivity) and Scanner.

Despite the impressive feature set, it remains the core software experience that is still Achilles’ heel of budget-centric Realme phones. It has no modern effects, including translucent elements, but is used in newer operating systems from rival brands that are not based on the interface. It works with icons, quick settings and UI elements but feels slightly flat.

It’s another blundering thing about the amount of bloatware that is also one of the biggest disappointments with s. It skips games such as Block Blast and Bubble Shooter, but apps like App Market (AppMarket), Browser, Clone Phone, Finshell Pay or others still take up space and affect the experience.

The segment is also on par with software support on the Realme P4x 5G. brand, which promises two OS upgrades and three years of security patches.

• Rear – 50-megapixel primary (f/1.8) + 2-megapixel secondary sensor
• Front – 8-megapixel (f/2.4)

The Realme P4x 5G, on paper, has a dual-rear-camera setup with ’50-megapixel primary camera and 2-megapixel secondary sensor. Yet, only the main sensor is available; that means it has to compensate for not having more than one lens option. No one has a super-wide-angle shooter, nor does optical image stabilisation (OIS), nor is there any ultra- wide-range shooters.

During real life, the camera takes bright pictures of photos but details are inconsistent and there’s a tendency to oversharpen. The 1/2 . This is 88-inch primary sensor that attempts to control dynamic range, but sometimes it fails at the time. The use of contrast is more appropriate.

Photos at 2x magnification show diminished detail and appear softer. In hazy daylight, noise occasionally creeps in.

These are similar results from lower lighting pictures output by paraphrasingr. While the camera retains the natural darkness of the sky and correct colours, it still has noise at night in darker areas. This helps slightly, but at the expense of detail and with a dedicated Night mode.

• Wired Charging – 45W
• Charger – 45W (Included in Box)

Realme P4x 5G is one of the strongest strengths of battery life. The handset is equipped with an 7,000mAh cell, which can last up to two days for casual use.

Realme P4x 5G Verdict

At an initial cost of Rs. The Realme P4x 5G is right – especially day-to-day performance, battery life and its refreshed design with 15,499. The phone is smooth in normal use, a good gaming system and the large battery makes it up to two days of runtime easily. But there are compromises, though, between and.

Its advertised 144Hz refresh rate is inconsistent, the software experience lacks refinement, and the cameras are strictly average.

A realme p4x 5g is worth considering if you have high performance and long battery life as priorities, but a value camera, AMOLED displays or cleaner software would be better to look elsewhere.
