Whenever a smartphone comes with a huge battery, the first question that comes to mind is simple — is it safe?
That’s exactly why this phone is so interesting.
This is the Realme P4 Power, India’s first smartphone with a massive 10,001mAh battery. Before its official launch, we got a first look and also visited Realme’s factory in Shenzhen, China, to understand how safe and reliable this battery really is.
Why Such a Big Battery Needs Extra Safety
A battery this large is not normal for a smartphone. So Realme has focused heavily on battery safety and testing.
The Realme P4 Power comes with a five-layer battery safety architecture, designed to prevent overheating, swelling, or explosion.
Five-Layer Battery Protection Explained
Here’s what Realme has added to keep the battery safe:
1. Advanced Ceramic Safety Coating
A next-generation ceramic undercoating is applied to the battery. This helps protect it in extreme conditions.
2. Cell Protection Tape
Special protection tape is added at both the head and tail of the battery to avoid internal damage.
3. Smart Power Disconnect System
The phone can automatically detect:
-
Overcurrent
-
Overvoltage
-
Short circuit
-
High temperature
If any risk is detected, power is instantly cut off.
4. Thicker Battery Foils
Compared to normal batteries:
-
Copper foil is 43% thicker
-
Aluminum foil is 12.5% thicker
This improves durability and stability.
5. Precise Safety Clearance Design
Even a small misalignment can be dangerous in large batteries. Realme ensures perfect fitting during installation to avoid damage.
New Battery Technologies Used
The phone uses:
-
Latest silicon anode technology
-
C-pack and F-pack battery protection boards
-
Protection board size reduced by 30%, saving space while keeping the phone slim
Certifications and Durability
This phone is:
