The Realme P4x expands Realme’s online-first P-series with a clear focus on performance, endurance, and everyday reliability. The P4x also puts its advantages on the front with a huge 7,000mAh battery, MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset, and an effective vapour-chamber cooling system, designed to rival it with Motorola and Vivo.
The phone provides a recognizable and reliable experience to users after exceeding a week of usage; it feels close to its superior sibling in the family. However, in the real world, what is the level of display, camera, software shine and battery performance like? Let’s take a closer look.
Need a dependable jack-of-all-trades, which values stamina and positive performance but does not go overboard on the details? The Realme P4x sets itself as a non-fuss day to day driver, relying on an enormous battery, a competent Dimensity chipset, and an uncluttered and up-to-date software experience. On paper, it is an assurance of long working hours, stability, and practical functions that are important in day to day life. In this review we have a closer examination of the extent to which Realme P4x compromises on power, usability, real-life reliability and price in Bangladesh.
This is what you get inside the Realme P4x box:
The Realme P4x has no frills and is quite pragmatic. The device includes the handset itself, a 45W fast-charging adaptor, a USB Type-C cable, and a TPU protective case, which is enough to get you going immediately. Realme also comes with the standard SIM ejector tool and quick start manuals and warranty documents. It is a simple pack that includes the necessities and you do not need to search the internet to find simple accessories to use the phone.
Just like its predecessor, the Realme P4x adopts a box style, but with a bit of softening by slight curves along the sides, which are a bonus in long-use scenarios. Our sample of the Matte Silver unit is clean and low profile, but has a smooth and reflective finish that reflects light in a nice way. There is also an Elegant Pink and Lake Green available in Realme with options that will allow users to be more playful.
That notwithstanding, the rear panel is a bit too smooth and may be considered slippery when used in everyday life particularly when compared to other types of finishes such as textured or leather-like that is portrayed on the competitors. Fortunately, the case with TPU included offers the necessary grip and protection. The metallic camera housing is one of the design highlights, with its chamfered sides and solidness providing the phone with an unexpectedly high level of premium touch. It is what Realme refers to as its Aerospace Design, and aesthetically, the branding makes sense.
The P4x weighs 208 grams and is 8.39mm thick, it is comfortably placed in the segment with the other large-battery phones. It is not that light, but the weight distribution is balanced and makes it comfortable to use over a long period of time without strain. It is also durable with IP64 splash resistance and dust protection which can provide peace of mind to use on a daily basis.
The phone removes the 3.5mm headphone jack, but in its place, it compensates with the use of a stereo speaker system. The speakers are so loud that they have a 400% volume boost-mode. There is no disturbance in the vocals at moderate levels, but an overstretching of the volume introduces some distortion. The P4x is in general a solid, well-designed design that eschews style in preference of utility.
The Realme P4x also only has an IPS LCD panel with a 6.72-inch size, FHD+ resolution, and an alleged 144Hz refresh rate, unlike the AMOLED panel on its higher-end sibling. Although the figures are impressive when on paper, the real behaviour is a little different as observed. When in use, the panel was rarely hitting 144Hz, which was only used in a few system applications, such as Compass or Sound Recorder. The majority of apps were between 90Hz and 120Hz, and it does not offer capped apps the option to have higher refresh rates, as on more expensive Realme phones. Nonetheless, the everyday navigation remains smooth, courtesy of a fast engaging animation and a responsive touch input.
The display provides adequate sharpness, and good detail both streaming YouTube and JioHotstar at 1080p, or even 1440p. The reproduction of colour, however, is towards the subdued side. Despite the colour mode being switched to the excellent ‘Vivid’ setting, the panel is just a little short of the punch that some competing LCD displays in the same segment have. This can be subject to individual choice, but who would be disappointed is the user who desires rich colours.
The brightness is at its best with a nits of 1,000, adequate in the house and shade, but in glare sunlight, performance is impaired in the open. A pleasant surprise is the tap-to-wake AOD feature, which is uncommon in an LCD panel so one can give a quick look at notifications, time and battery indicators. The display does not emphasize any visual brilliance, but on the other hand, it allows a smooth and utilitarian look to the P4x.
Realme P4x has a dual-rear camera configuration with the main camera consisting of 50MP OV50D40 primary sensor, with a 2mp monochrome lens. On the front side, there is an 8MP selfie camera with a punch-hole opening. The main camera does not undergo optical image stabilisation, as one would anticipate in the segment, although with the hand held steady, the pictures are usually sharp and can be used. The video recording feature is a good aspect on paper, and it supports up to 4K recording on the rear camera.
The P4x provides satisfactory results in the daytime. The shots taken in the default Crisp mode appear lively without being excessive on saturation. The sensor is not as sharp as it might have been at 1x, but overall it is not bad. The contrast and dynamic range is well maintained in most cases, but in some cases strong lighting conditions like in the harsh sunlight or a hazy day will cause it to be disturbed somewhat. There is a significant loss in detail with the options of 2x digital zoom, which would give smoother images that should be avoided at all costs unless required.
The P4x proves to be deficient in low-light photography. Normal night shots are also expected to have a more realistic appearance, allowing darker skies and shadows, although such a solution poses darker spots with visible noise. The Night Mode feature adds some light to the picture and minimizes the amount of noise, but some detail is lost. The results are usable compared to those of rivals but not class-leading.
The shots made by the back camera in the portrait mode are clear with a good edge resolution though in some instances, the image is slightly oversharpened. Selfies and portraits have skin tones inclined to the cool, and are well-detailed in natural light. The front camera maintains the naturalness of things, more realistic tones and balanced exposure are given more of aggressive beautification.
In video, 4K video at 60 fps provides clean images where there is ample lighting, and colours and exposure are managed acceptably. The lack of stabilisation results in a situation where hand held clips are a bit wobbly, particularly in higher resolutions. Videos do not get jagged and can still be used as everyday clips, and the P4x could be used to shoot casual videos and social media, but the limitations of the camera may be obvious in more difficult lighting settings or rapid movements.
All in all, the camera set of the Realme P4x is reliable in terms of casual photography and social media, yet the power users might demand more reliability, in particular, when operating in low light.
Realme P4x relies on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra, which is the performance chipset of the regular P4. Combined with the storage of UFS 3.1 in all versions, the phone is fast in their daily use, with fast application acceleration, easy multitasking, and few stutters. This is an obvious plus in a section in which UFS 2.2 remains widely used.
There is a high level of reliability in gaming performance. BGMI and CODM have reached 90FPS limits, and even at the usual graphics presets, the phone cools down to comfortable temperature, not exceeding 31C. But forcing CODM to 90FPS during longer sessions is another matter. Within a 30-40 min span, the frame rates fall down to the low 70s as temperatures rise above 40C. The huge 5,300mm 2 vapour chamber cooling system is not perfect but it should allow it to maintain more consistent performance particularly when in use in the long summer sessions.
On the software, the P4x is loaded with Android 15-based Realme UI 6 and guarantees two updates of the system and three years of security patches. AI features are liberally distributed throughout the UI at Realme: AI Eraser, AI Glare Remover, AI Scanner and AI Recorder all perform their functions as expected. The most exceptional one is AI Smart Loop. It is easy to adjust to the usage habits and thus sharing pictures or content between apps can be really smooth and a natural gesture.
There is also a lot of customization, Live Alerts, powerful Game Assistant, Circle to Search, and Gemini. With that said, blur effects should be more modernized in the interface including quick settings and system panels to make the interface more lively. The P4x is generally a well-rounded and robust software experience full of features and supported by a stable performance.
Realme P4x performs well considering its price as it is in the same category with the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset. On the AnTuTu v11 the total score of the phone is estimated to be around 981227 points, which points to positive performance in CPU, as well as the performance of the GPU, memory and UX workload. This puts it quite above most average competitors and underscores its ability to take on taxing applications and work with several apps without problems.
The P4x also scores reasonably well in Geekbench 6, with approximately 1,045 in the single-core and approximately 2,970 in the multi-core examinations. These numbers represent very good real world processing power and make day to day tasks as well as other more heavy workloads lightweight and responsive.
On the whole, the benchmark findings prove the fact that the performance punch of the P4x is not only out of the scale as compared to most phones in its category but is also a good option that can be offered to the customers who pay attention to high performance but cannot afford flagship prices.
Where the Realme P4x struts its muscles is in battery life. The huge 7,000mAh battery is not just a marketing point of emphasis; it is precisely what Realme is marketing. Over the course of ten plus days, the phone continued to record over 9 hours of screen-on time on a single charge and easily surpassed two full days with Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth turned on.
I was scrolling social media, spending hours on the Spotify streams, hours on the YouTube videos, viewing the webpages, chatting apps, and even the Call of Duty: Mobile at 90FPS every day. Although this ambivalent and quite challenging usage, the P4x hardly ever got me thinking about the need to grab the charger, which is a massive victory in terms of power users.
The battery size is decent with regard to the charging speeds. Realme boasts of fully charging within approximately 90 minutes with its 45W fast charger that comes in the package. During real-life testing, it required a little less than 100 minutes to fully recharge, and only 85 to fully recharge between 20 percent and full. It is phenomenally fast as a 7,000mAh cell and ensures that overnight charging or a quick top-up is hassle-free. Generally, the P4x creates a high standard in battery life within the segment.
Realme P4x is already sold in the Bangladesh market unofficially. The Realme P4x price in Bangladesh is BDT 22,500 for 6GB RAM and 128GB. The more superior 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model is priced at BDT 24,500. Since these are non official prices they will change slightly according to the retailer, the stock level of the item and the source of imports when one purchases the item.
The Realme P4x is a reliable jack of all trades that does not focus on luxurious features when it comes to flashy prizes but rather a stable performance, a good battery life, and realistic software features. It sends to the right locations, what is most needed: long life, easy day-in-day-out usage, and pristine user experience. Although the cameras and display are not the best in the market, the whole package seems balanced and mindful to the user who appreciates reliability and consistency in their day to day activities.
