We’ve been working on our Realme P4 Power review and after a quick detour to try out its performance as a power bank, we’re back to our regular tests. Without question, the 10,001mAh battery is the main feature of the phone, so we turn next.

It’s not that we haven’t seen phones with similar or even larger batteries before – it’s just that this is the first phone we’ve tested that doesn’t feel like a brick. It measures 162.3 x 76.2 x 9.1 mm and weighs 219 grams, which is pretty standard for a phone with a 6.8” display.
The 10,001mAh battery uses next-generation silicon-carbon technology that promises up to 8 years of use (retaining at least 80% of its original capacity after 1,650 charge cycles). Modern Si-Si technology is incredible, isn’t it? You can limit the battery to between 80% and 95% (in 5% increments), but there’s no reason to do that – 8 years is a long time and a 10,001mAh battery at 80% health is still a big battery.

The realme P4 power deserves praise – it tops our battery chart by a solid lead over the #2 phone. If you look at the chart, you’ll see that it’s mostly premium phones at the top. We’re not going to include them here because the P4 Power is not a premium model by any means, but we will include the current #5 model, the OnePlus 15R (which still costs 70% more than the Realme).
The Realme P4 Power achieved an impressive 25:35 active usage score. Smartphones like the Honor Win and OnePlus Turbo 6 are available with bigger batteries, but we haven’t tested them yet. Instead, we’ve included some 7,000+ mAh models that we’ve tested – and most can’t compete.
We mentioned the OnePlus 15R above – it has a 7,400mAh battery. It did very well for itself with a score of 21:36. The Realme 16 Pro+ also deserves some praise – while its gaming time (8:53 hours) is pretty poor considering its 7,000mAh battery, its web browsing score of 21:18 hours is better than others.
The Moto Edge 60 packs a 5,200mAh battery, which is more than half the capacity of the Realme P4 Power. With that in mind, the scores aren’t bad, although this isn’t the phone to go if you want to go two days between charges. The Realme P3 Ultra is the predecessor to the P4 Power and packs only a 6,000mAh battery. This shows how fast battery technology is developing.
Larger batteries require fast charging support to be practical and the Realme P4 Power supports 80W SuperVOOC and 55W USB charging. We used an 80W SuperVOOC charger for this test.

Given that it has a much larger capacity than other phones on this list, we knew charging times would be slow. But they aren’t the slowest, which is all we could ask for. In fact, after 15 minutes, the phone reached 27% – matching the Redmi Note 15 Pro, which only has a 6,580mAh battery (and slower 45W charging).
After 30 minutes, the P4 starts lagging behind the power pack. That said, 45% charge is enough to get you through the day and you get that in half an hour. If you prefer to do a full charge, you will need 79 minutes. That’s just 9 minutes longer than the Honor Magic8 Lite (7,500mAh, 66W) and 26 minutes slower than the OnePlus 15R, which also uses 80W SuperVOOC (don’t forget that its battery is 2,600mAh smaller or it costs more).
The most direct comparison is with the Realme P4 Pro, which costs exactly the same as the P4 Power – ₹30,000 for the 8/256GB unit on Realme India – and has the same 80W SuperVOOC charging system. There is a 27-minute difference in 100% charge time between its 7,000mAh battery and the Power’s 10,001mAh battery.
We have more tests to run on the Realme P4 Power, so stay tuned for the full review. If you like what you see, Realme India will start selling the Power from February 5.
