The budget smartphone market in India has a new champion for endurance. Realme officially launched the Realme P4 Lite today, Friday, February 20, 2026. This latest addition to the P series lineup is designed specifically for users who prioritize long battery life and rugged durability without a premium price tag. Starting at an effective price of just 7,999 rupees, it stands out as a powerful 4G alternative in a crowded segment.
The device will be available for purchase starting February 24, 2026, through Flipkart, the Realme official website, and various offline retail stores across the country.
Segment Leading Battery and Slim Profile
The most impressive feature of the Realme P4 Lite is its massive 6,300mAh battery. Realme claims this is the largest battery in its price segment, capable of providing up to two days of heavy usage on a single charge. Whether you are a student attending online classes or a professional on the move, this phone is built to eliminate battery anxiety.
Despite housing such a large power cell, the phone remains surprisingly sleek. It measures only 7.94mm in thickness and weighs 201 grams. The device supports 15W fast charging through its USB Type C port and even offers 6W reverse wired charging, allowing you to use your phone as a power bank to charge accessories like earbuds in an emergency.
Durability and Military Grade Protection
Realme has placed a heavy emphasis on build quality with this launch. The P4 Lite has passed MIL STD 810H military grade shock resistance testing, meaning it can survive drops of up to 1.8 meters. It also features ArmorShell Protection and is rated IP54 for dust and splash resistance, ensuring it can handle the rigors of daily Indian life, from monsoon rain to dusty commutes.
The 6.74 inch Eye Comfort display supports a 90Hz refresh rate, making animations and scrolling feel fluid. It also includes “Smart Touch” technology, which allows the screen to remain functional and responsive even if your hands are wet or oily.
Unique Design and Pulse Light Feature
To appeal to younger consumers, Realme has introduced a striking aesthetic with a wave pattern rear design. The standout visual element is the circular RGB Pulse Light on the back panel. This light ring supports nine different colors and five customizable glowing modes, reacting dynamically to incoming calls, notifications, and charging status.
The phone is available in three distinct color options:
- Sea Blue
- Beach Gold
- Obsididan Black
Performance and AI Smart Features
Under the hood, the Realme P4 Lite is powered by the Unisoc T7250 octa core chipset. While it is an entry level processor, Realme has optimized it to achieve an AnTuTu score of approximately 280,000, which is more than enough for daily tasks like social media, video streaming, and basic gaming. It runs on Realme UI 6.0 based on the latest Android 15.
The device also comes packed with several AI driven tools that were previously reserved for more expensive models:
- Circle to Search: For instant information retrieval by simply circling objects on the screen.
- AI Call Noise Reduction 2.0: Ensuring crystal clear audio during calls even in noisy environments.
- AI Photography Tools: Including AI Eraser and AI Clear Face for better social media ready photos.
