Realme has started to make things official around its next mid-range endurance-focussed P-series phone for India. After weeks of leaks, a dedicated microsite has gone live on Flipkart, confirming that a new P-series smartphone is on the way and will be sold on the platform. While Realme hasn’t explicitly revealed the name of the phone yet, this is the first sign that the launch is close, but that’s not the exciting part. The phone could come with a battery capacity unheard of in mainstream phones in India.
The Flipkart teaser doesn’t give away much in terms of specs, but drops some hints. It shows a roadmap of the P series so far, from the Realme P1 to the P4, and points to the next model in line, which makes us believe it could be the Realme P5. The messaging, with taglines like “Back with the power” and “A smAAAH-rtphone built to make history”, strongly leans towards battery endurance.
This makes us believe, and also lends credibility to previous rumours, that it is the same 10,000mAh battery phone Realme has been rumoured to release. The 10,000mAh batterywould be a first for a mainstream phone in India. The microsite doesn’t confirm this outright, but does drop hints.
The phone, believed to carry the model number RMX5107, had previously shown up on the Bureau of Indian Standards website, with a tipster suggesting a late-January launch timeline. There have also been Telegram leaks linked to the same model number that mention a 10,001mAh battery, along with Android 16-based Realme UI 7.0 and higher memory options.
If those battery rumours turn out to be accurate, the Realme P5 would stand out instantly in its segment. Most mid-range phones today still sit around the 6,000mAh to 7,000mAh mark. Even phones known for long battery life, like the POCO F7 with its 7,550mAh cell, don’t come close to that number. A jump to 10,000mAh would clearly make endurance the phone’s biggest selling point.
It would also be a clear step up from the Realme P4 5G, which launched in India in August 2025 starting at Rs 18,499. That phone packed a 7,000mAh battery, 80W fast charging, a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip. With the P5, Realme seems to be leaning even harder into battery life as the defining feature of the series.
Leaks around design and cameras, shared by tipster Debayan Roy, suggest a triple rear camera setup led by a 50MP main sensor, backed by an 8MP and a 2MP camera. The phone is also said to have a curved back, a plastic frame, and a square-shaped camera module.
For buyers, the Realme P5 looks aimed at people who just want their phone to last as long as possible, whether that’s gamers, frequent travellers, or anyone tired of plugging in every night. There may be trade-offs in terms of weight or charging time, but if Realme gets the pricing right, the P5 could end up resetting expectations around battery life in the mid-range phone space.
