Realme has officially announced the launch of its highly anticipated Realme P4 Lite smartphone in India, set for February 20 at 12 PM IST. The company has provided an in-depth preview via a dedicated microsite, revealing the device's striking design, vibrant color options, and a robust set of specifications tailored for everyday reliability. Positioned as a mid-range contender emphasizing battery endurance, durability, and intelligent features, the P4 Lite aims to compete in the crowded sub-Rs 15,000 segment against rivals like the Redmi 13C and Samsung Galaxy M15 by prioritizing practical upgrades over flagship gimmicks.
Design and Build: Sleek, Rugged, and Interactive
The Realme P4 Lite sports a modern flat-frame design with a premium feel, measuring just 7.94mm thick and weighing 201 grams for comfortable one-handed use. It will be available in three eye-catching finishes: Beach Gold, Obsidian Black, and Sea Blue, catering to diverse style preferences.

At the rear, a dual-camera setup features two large circular modules, complemented by a innovative ring-style Pulse Light. This interactive element offers nine color options and five glowing modes, enabling customizable notifications, music visualization, or ambient effects—similar to Apple's Dynamic Island but more accessible in the budget space. Up front, slim bezels frame a waterdrop notch, enhancing the immersive viewing experience.
Durability is a standout, with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance, plus MIL-STD-810H military-grade certification for shock resistance. Realme claims it can survive drops from up to 1.8 meters onto hard surfaces, making it ideal for active users or those prone to accidents. For added practicality, the Smart Touch feature ensures precise inputs even with wet, oily hands, gloves, or waterproof cases.
Display: Smooth and Eye-Friendly
The device packs a 6.74-inch Eye Comfort display with a 90Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling and animations, paired with a 180Hz touch sampling rate for responsive gaming and swipes. Peak brightness reaches 563 nits, suitable for outdoor visibility in India's bright sunlight. Additional perks include Always-On Display (AOD) for glanceable info and TUV Rheinland certification for low blue light emission, reducing eye strain during extended sessions—perfect for students, professionals, or binge-watchers.
Performance and Software: AI-Powered Efficiency
Under the hood lies an octa-core 12nm chipset clocked at 1.8GHz, delivering an AnTuTu benchmark score of approximately 280,000—comparable to the MediaTek Helio G99 in rivals, ensuring smooth multitasking for apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and light gaming titles such as BGMI at medium settings. It supports up to 18GB dynamic RAM (via memory extension) and 128GB internal storage, expandable likely via microSD (though not explicitly confirmed).
Running Realme UI on Android 15 out of the box, it introduces AI enhancements like AI Boost for optimized performance, AI Eraser and AI Clear Face for photo editing, AI Image Matting for subject isolation, and Google's Circle to Search for instant on-screen lookups. The Mini Capsule feature provides quick access to controls, mimicking iPhone's Dynamic Island for notifications and timers.
Camera and Audio: Solid Everyday Tools
Photography is handled by a 13-megapixel AI rear camera with dual modules, focusing on intelligent processing for sharper low-light shots and portraits—adequate for social media but not a photography powerhouse. Audio upgrades shine with up to 300% Ultra Volume for louder output, AI Call Noise Reduction 2.0 to cut background chatter in noisy Indian streets, and a Speaker Cleaner function that vibrates away water after workouts or rain.
Battery and Charging: The Star Feature
The crown jewel is a massive 6,300mAh battery, which Realme touts for up to two days of heavy use—including 10+ hours of video streaming, gaming, and calls—outpacing the 5,000mAh norm in this category. It supports 15W fast charging via USB Type-C (full charge in under 2.5 hours estimated) and 6W reverse charging to power accessories like earbuds. Notably, a charger is included in the box, a rarity amid e-waste concerns.
Pricing and availability details will be revealed at launch, but teasers suggest aggressive positioning under Rs 12,999, with sales likely on Flipkart and Realme's site. This launch underscores Realme's push into durable, battery-focused devices for India's value-conscious market.
