realme P4s 5G Goes On Sale Today: 144Hz Screen And 8,000mAh Battery

The realme P4s 5G price in India starts at Rs 31,999, and the phone’s first sale opened today, September 3, giving buyers on Flipkart and realme.com a fresh mid-range option to chew over. It arrives with a familiar realme playbook, a massive battery, a high refresh rate screen, and enough marketing acronyms to make your head spin, but underneath the noise sits a phone that genuinely tries to earn its keep in one of India’s most brutally competitive price brackets.

What You’re Actually Paying For

The P4s 5G comes in three configurations. The base 8GB plus 128GB model costs Rs 34,999 on paper, but a Rs 3,000 bank discount brings the effective price down to Rs 31,999. Step up to 8GB plus 256GB, and you’re looking at Rs 34,999 after the offer, while the top-tier 12GB plus 256GB variant settles at Rs 38,999. All three come bundled with a 12-month no-cost EMI option, and the phone ships in two colourways, Electric Cyan and Titanium Gray.

Here’s a small nugget worth knowing before you get too attached to those numbers. A day after the standard realme P4 5G went on sale for the first time, its price quietly climbed by up to Rs 3,000. Price fluctuations in this segment are common enough that treating launch-day pricing as gospel is a bit optimistic. Worth keeping an eye on if you’re not buying today.

The Screen Does the Heavy Lifting

realme has fitted the P4s 5G with a 6.78-inch 1.5K Samsung AMOLED panel, and this is where the phone tries hardest to punch above its price. The display runs at 144Hz with a 3000Hz touch sampling rate, hits 1,400 nits of global peak brightness, and supports HDR10+ and Netflix HDR. realme says the panel uses Samsung’s newer M14 luminescent material, which the company claims improves luminous efficiency by roughly a quarter and extends screen lifespan compared to older AMOLED generations. Whether that translates to noticeably better longevity is something only years of daily use will confirm, but the numbers on brightness and refresh rate are genuinely competitive for this price band.

Two Chips, One Job: Keep Frame Rates Smooth

Under the hood sits MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400 Ultra, paired with a secondary chip realme calls the Hyper Vision Plus AI processor. This dual-chip setup mirrors what the original P4 Pro 5G and P4 5G launched with last year, handling AI frame interpolation to push supported games toward 144 frames per second through upscaling and stabilisation rather than raw horsepower alone. It’s a trick several brands are leaning on lately since squeezing genuine 144fps performance out of a mid-range chipset the hard way is expensive.

On pure numbers, the Dimensity 7400 Ultra clocks an AnTuTu score in the range of 1,047,842 in independent testing, putting it comfortably ahead of the standard Dimensity 7400 and within shouting distance of chips like the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. It’s a solid, dependable mid-ranger rather than a flagship-slayer, which is exactly what you’d expect at this price.

One thing worth flagging for anyone comparing spec sheets: realme markets “up to 26GB Dynamic RAM,” but that figure includes virtual RAM borrowed from storage, not physical memory. The actual hardware tops out at 12GB. This is standard practice across the industry now, but it’s the kind of detail that’s easy to gloss over in a press release and worth knowing before you go comparing numbers with a phone that has genuine 16GB of RAM.

The Battery Is the Real Headline

Strip away the gaming branding and the 8000mAh Titan Battery is arguably the most compelling reason to consider this phone. realme claims a 50 percent charge in about 28.5 minutes and a full charge in roughly 75 minutes via the 80W charger, helped along by what the company calls Charging Boost and All-Scenario Bypass Charging to keep temperatures in check during heavy use. The battery is also rated for up to 1,600 charge cycles, a meaningfully higher number than the 500 to 800 cycles many phones are rated for, though it still falls well short of the eyebrow-raising 10,001mAh cell in the realme P4 Power 5G from earlier this year, if sheer battery bragging rights matter more to you than gaming smoothness.

Keeping that performance from melting into thermal throttling is a 7,000mm² vapour chamber cooling system with over 13,000mm² of graphite area. On the imaging side, there’s a 50MP main camera capable of 4K recording, a 16MP selfie shooter, and stereo speakers with what realme calls 300 percent UltraBoom amplification. The phone also carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, a fairly aggressive durability spread for something in this price range, covering everything from dust to high-pressure water jets.

Where It Sits in a Crowded Shelf

The Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000 bracket in India right now is stuffed with capable phones chasing the same buyer. The Vivo T5 5G counters with a slightly bigger 7,050mAh battery and a similar 144Hz curved AMOLED screen, while the Motorola Edge 70 Fusion leans on its Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip and a brighter 5,200 nit display to make its case. Most of these phones are fighting over the same three things: battery size, display quality, and gaming smoothness, and if you want the fuller lineup, GadgetBridge’s roundup of the top phones under Rs 30,000 is a good place to see how they all stack up side by side. The P4s 5G doesn’t reinvent that formula so much as stack the deck slightly in its own favour, particularly with the display panel and the IP69 rating, which is still rare at this price point.
