Realme has expanded its budget smartphone portfolio in India with the launch of the Realme P4 Lite 5G, a device aimed squarely at users seeking reliable everyday performance without stretching their budget. Priced starting at ₹9,999, the smartphone positions itself as an attractive option for first-time buyers and those looking for a secondary device that covers all the essentials.

The Realme P4 Lite 5G comes with a 6.74-inch HD+ display offering a resolution of 720×1600 pixels. While it sits in the entry-level category, the inclusion of a 90Hz refresh rate ensures a smoother visual experience compared to standard displays in this segment. With a touch sampling rate of up to 180Hz, the device is also responsive enough for casual browsing, scrolling, and light gaming.

One of the standout features of the smartphone is its massive 6,300mAh battery, which is expected to easily last through a full day and beyond for most users. Paired with 15W wired charging support, the focus here is clearly on longevity rather than ultra-fast charging, making it ideal for users who prioritise battery life over speed.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Unisoc T7250 octa-core processor built on a 12nm process. It is paired with 4GB of RAM and offers storage options of 64GB and 128GB, catering to different user needs. Running on Android 15 with Realme UI, the phone brings updated software features and a clean interface experience for its users.

For photography, the Realme P4 Lite 5G features a 13MP rear camera capable of recording videos at 1080p at 30fps, while the front houses a 5MP camera for selfies and video calls. While the camera setup is modest, it is designed to handle basic photography and communication needs effectively.

The device also comes with an IP54 rating, offering resistance against dust and splashes, which adds a layer of durability for everyday use. In terms of connectivity, it supports 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi, and multiple satellite navigation systems including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. Additional features include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and essential sensors such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, and ambient light sensor.

Available in Beach Gold, Obsidian Black, and Sea Blue colour options, the Realme P4 Lite 5G brings a touch of style to its practical design. The smartphone will go on sale starting February 24 via Flipkart and Realme’s official channels, with launch offers including a ₹1,000 bank discount or coupon.

With this launch, Realme continues to reinforce its strategy of delivering feature-packed smartphones at competitive price points, catering to the evolving needs of India’s value-conscious consumers.

Crocs Launches Phone Cases Inspired by Iconic Clogs in Bold Collaboration with SLBS

Tanisha Cardozo

Crocs, one of the most divisive and instantly recognisable shoes in fashion, is once again at the centre of conversation—this time not for your feet, but for your phone. The cult-favourite footwear brand has teamed up with Seoul-based label SLBS to launch a collection of phone cases that are quite literally shaped like classic Crocs clogs. The collaboration brings Crocs’ signature quirky design sensibility to the tech world, and the response has been, unsurprisingly, mixed.

The cases mimic the iconic look of the Croc, including the textured rubber finish and the signature perforated holes. What sets them apart from other novelty cases, however, is the inclusion of actual Jibbitz holes—yes, you can now personalise your phone case in the same playful, kitschy way you’d decorate your Crocs. It’s a cheeky, conversation-starting twist on what is usually a purely functional tech accessory. This launch fits squarely within Crocs’ branding as a company that thrives on bending traditional fashion rules and transforming simple items into cult-status products.

While fashion insiders have already spotted high-fashion versions of Crocs—bedazzled, platformed, and even heeled—on recent runways like Simone Rocha’s SS24 show, this launch pushes the brand further into lifestyle territory. With the rise of tech accessories as fashion statements in themselves, the Crocs phone case is a natural, if unexpected, extension of the brand.

Currently, the cases are only available for Samsung Galaxy phones, though iPhone versions are reportedly on the way. You can purchase the full range of colours directly from the SLBS website, though international shipping charges may apply. For UK buyers, the bone-coloured Galaxy S25 Crocs Case is also available via Selfridges for £59. A more budget-friendly version for the Galaxy S24 is available through the Samsung Store on Amazon for £26.41.

And if you’re planning to deck out your new case, both Crocs and Schuh are offering a wide range of Jibbitz charms, available in individual pieces or multi-packs, starting at just £5. These allow fans to truly make the case their own, in line with Crocs’ longstanding message of self-expression and comfort.

As with anything Crocs releases, the phone cases have already split public opinion. Some fans are smitten, calling the design fun, bold, and original, while others have labelled it ‘hideous’—a familiar narrative for a brand that has never sought universal approval. But if recent fashion trends and TikTok-fuelled revivals are anything to go by, Crocs is more relevant than ever.

Whether you’re a long-time fan, a tech accessory collector, or simply in the mood to bring some humour into your everyday carry, the Crocs x SLBS phone case is the kind of product that demands attention. Love it or hate it, one thing’s certain: Crocs aren’t just back—they’re everywhere.

Samsung Replaces Apple as the Number One Brand in India’s Premium Smartphone Market in Q2 2025

allycaralgoa

In a significant market shift, Samsung has overtaken Apple to become the number one brand in India’s premium smartphone segment during the second quarter of 2025. According to industry trackers, Samsung’s strong performance was fueled by the popularity of its flagship Galaxy S24 series, which resonated with Indian consumers for its cutting-edge features, AI capabilities, and competitive pricing.

The premium smartphone market, defined as devices priced above ₹30,000, has long been dominated by Apple, thanks to its aspirational iPhone lineup. However, Samsung’s focus on innovation, aggressive marketing, and wider availability across offline and online channels gave it the edge this quarter.

Experts highlight that Apple’s market share faced pressure due to limited availability of the iPhone 15 series and anticipation for the upcoming iPhone 16 launch later this year. Meanwhile, Samsung capitalized on the gap, recording impressive sales across metros and Tier-1 cities.

Industry analysts believe this shift indicates the growing competition in India’s high-end smartphone category, with brands like OnePlus and Vivo also strengthening their premium offerings.

As the festive season approaches, the battle between Samsung and Apple is expected to intensify, making the Indian premium smartphone market one to watch closely.

Pan-India Surge in Demand Highlights Foldable Trend Taking Off Among Premium Consumers

Samsung has announced a groundbreaking milestone with its latest foldable smartphone lineup receiving an overwhelming 2.1 lakh pre-orders within just 48 hours of launch in India. This milestone firmly establishes consumer confidence in foldable devices and Samsung’s dominance in the premium smartphone segment.

The pre-orders reflect a significant shift in user interest from traditional slab phones to innovative foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip. With refined design, robust performance, and practical multi-tasking features, the foldable series continues to attract both tech enthusiasts and fashion-conscious consumers.

Samsung India stated that the demand surpasses expectations and mirrors India’s increasing acceptance of high-end innovation. The company has been aggressively marketing the foldables as lifestyle tools rather than just tech devices, and it appears the strategy is working.

Samsung’s success with its foldables could serve as a turning point for the segment’s growth in India. With rising aspirations, expanding disposable incomes, and interest in futuristic design, India is quickly becoming a key market for next-gen smartphones.

What’s Next?
Industry watchers expect the numbers to climb further as retail availability and demo experiences increase across metro and Tier-II cities. Meanwhile, Samsung continues to invest in ecosystem support—from accessories to service networks—to support this wave of adoption.


From early adopters to loyal Galaxy fans, this record-breaking response signals that India is more than ready for foldable technology. Samsung has taken the lead—again—in shaping the smartphone evolution.
