Realme P4 Pro debuts with design inspired by iPhone 17 Pro leaks

WEB DESK: Realme has just introduced its new P4 series in India, and the Pro model is already making waves, mainly because it looks strikingly similar to the leaked rear design of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro.

With Apple’s new lineup still about 20 days away, Realme appears to have jumped ahead, unveiling a camera setup that feels familiar but not out of place.

Still, anyone who has been following iPhone 17 Pro leaks will notice that the rear camera design has clearly been copied.

One glance at the image below and you might think Realme forgot to add the ‘real’ in Realme P4 Pro.

The Realme P4 Pro 5G, alongside the base Realme P4 5G, was unveiled on Wednesday. While the series is currently limited to India, it is expected to land in Pakistan soon, though Realme Pakistan has yet to confirm a launch date.

Specs that aim high

The Realme P4 Pro 5G packs great power for its price range. It features a massive 6.8-inch AMOLED 4D Curve+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 6,500 nits peak brightness, making it one of the brightest screens on the market.

Protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, it is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.

The phone also brings an AI-backed Hyper Vision chipset that boosts gaming and video quality, claiming to run BGMI at 1.5K resolution with 144fps. To keep things cool, Realme has fitted a large 7,000 sq mm AirFlow VC cooling system.

Camera-wise, the P4 Pro sports a 50MP Sony IMX896 main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 50MP selfie shooter. Both front and back cameras support 4K recording at 60fps, a spec many creators will find tempting.

Battery life is another highlight. A 7,000mAh unit with 80W fast charging promises long gaming or streaming sessions, while reverse charging lets the phone double as a power bank.

Price and availability

In India, the Realme P4 Pro 5G starts at INR 24,999 (about Rs81,000 in Pakistani currency) for the 8GB+128GB model. The top-end 12GB+256GB variant costs INR 28,999 (around Rs94,000). However, after taxes and PTA approval, the Pro could cost up to Rs120,000 when it eventually arrives in Pakistan.

The base Realme P4 5G is more budget-friendly, starting at INR 18,499 (roughly Rs60,000). It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip and comes in trendy colours like Engine Blue and Forge Red.

Both phones ship with Android 15-based Realme UI 6 and support 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and IP65/66 dust and water resistance.

For users who want flagship-level features without waiting for the iPhone 17, the Realme P4 Pro looks like a solid contender. Stylish design, fast charging, powerful cameras, and a massive battery, Realme has packed a lot into this launch.
