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.

Realme has officially confirmed that the Realme 16 Pro series will be launching in India soon, marking the next major addition to its popular number series. The lineup is expected to include two models—the Realme 16 Pro and the Realme 16 Pro+—which will succeed the Realme 15 Pro 5G launched in July. Interestingly, the previous generation did not include a Pro+ variant, making this the first time the brand is expanding the “Pro” lineup with an additional premium model.

A teaser shared by Realme reveals a slim device featuring a golden middle frame and a subtly raised rear camera module, offering an early look at the design language of the Realme 16 Pro series. Certification listings for the Realme 16 Pro, appearing with model number RMX5121 on China’s TENAA and MIIT platforms, show a flat display on the front and a square-shaped camera module with rounded edges positioned on the top-left corner on the back panel. These images suggest a refined yet understated aesthetic approach.

The Realme 16 Pro is expected to feature a 6.78-inch OLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate. It is likely to run on a 2.5GHz processor paired with Realme UI 7 based on Android 16. Camera upgrades appear to be a major focus, with the device reportedly featuring a 200MP primary rear camera and a 50MP front camera. The smartphone is also rumoured to include a massive 7,000mAh battery, complemented by 80W fast charging support, making it one of the larger battery capacities in the segment. Additional features may include an in-display fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, and configuration options offering up to 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. The device is expected to come in grey, gold, and purple colour options, weighing approximately 192g and measuring around 7.75mm in thickness.

Meanwhile, the Realme 16 Pro+ is anticipated to follow in the footsteps of the Realme 14 Pro+ 5G. Expected to carry the model number RMX5131, this Pro+ variant may share several specifications with the standard Pro model but come in new colour options such as Camellia Pink, Master Gold, and Master Grey. Although Realme has not yet revealed all the details, further specifications, pricing, and availability information are expected to be announced as the launch date approaches. With promising upgrades in design, performance, and camera capabilities, the Realme 16 Pro series is set to draw significant attention in the Indian smartphone market.

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.
