Realme might be gearing up to stretch battery limits even more in India. A fresh Realme smartphone, thought to belong to the mid-range P series, has showed up on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, pointing to an imminent launch in the country. However, what’s interesting is the rumour of a 10,000mAh battery, which could make it the biggest on a mainstream phone sold in India in recent times, and the biggest for Realme.
Tipster Yogesh Brar revealed this unannounced Realme phone, with model number RMX5107, has gotten the BIS certification, which usually means launch time is near. He added a more specific timeline — late January — even though Realme hasn’t put out any official word yet. If that turns out to be true, it’ll be just weeks after the Realme P4x 5G hit the market in December.
The tipster highlights a 10,000mAh battery for the phone, marking a real step up from the new normal. For perspective, battery capacities of phones nowadays hover around 6,000mAh to 7,000mAh these days. Higher than that is still rare, save for rugged phones solely designed for endurance. Right now, the POCO F7 has one of the biggest cells at 7,550mAh on mainstream phones, and this new device could leave it behind by a mile.
It’s worth noting how 7,000mAh batteries are starting to feel like the new normal, thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech that’s been adopted by OEMs lately. That lets manufacturers squeeze in more power without the phone getting too bulky or heavy. Realme went that route with the P4x 5G, packing in a 7,000mAh battery plus 45W fast charging. If those rumours pan out for the new P-series phone, Realme would take things to another level. The company had teased a 10,000mAh prototype in May last year but didn’t speak of its commercial availability.
We don’t know more details about the phone or its name but a Telegram leak of the same model number in Russia confirmed the capacity to be 10,001mAh, and further revealed Android 16-based Realme UI 7.0, 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
To gain perspective about the other specs and the price point, the Realme P4x 5G came out to India starting at Rs 15,499. It packs a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset and has a 50MP main camera paired with a secondary 2MP sensor. With a 10,000mAh battery, this new one would clearly outlast the P4x, even if the rest of the specs match.
The 10,000mAh battery would attract those buyers who put endurance first, like heavy travellers, gamers, or anyone wanting days of use without hunting for a charger. On the flip side, it could mean trade-offs like extra weight, longer charge times, or tweaks to the design.
However, it’s best to remain guarded until Realme comes in with the confirmation. But if the phone launches with competitive pricing, it could reset the bar for battery-heavy smartphones in India and change the definition of long battery life in mainstream phones.
