Realme P4 Power to feature TransView design collaboration with Pearl Academy, and massive 10,001mAh battery

Realme has announced a strategic partnership with Pearl Academy, one of India’s leading design institutes, to co-create the design of its upcoming realme P4 Power smartphone. This collaboration marks a notable shift in the brand’s product development approach, embracing a “by the youth, for the youth” philosophy for its India-exclusive P Series.

A Student-Driven Design Journey -

As part of the initiative, Pearl Academy students were integrated directly into realme’s design and product development ecosystem. Instead of limiting the collaboration to a conventional concept competition, students worked closely with realme’s internal teams from the ideation stage through to concept development and refinement.

Through a series of immersive workshops and hands-on sessions, participants were introduced to the real-world challenges of designing a mass-market consumer product. They were required to balance creative vision with practical considerations such as:

• Scalability and manufacturing feasibility
• Production timelines
• Evolving user expectations

This process gave students first-hand insight into how initial concepts are tested, refined, and transformed into commercially viable designs.

The ‘TransView’ Design Concept -

For the first time in realme’s history, a student-led concept has directly influenced the design language of a mass-market smartphone. Following the workshop phase, a concept created by Sankalp Panchal, a student at Pearl Academy, was shortlisted and selected for integration into the final realme P4 Power design.

The resulting design philosophy, called “TransView Design,” focuses on the convergence of transparency and technology. Rather than hiding internal elements, the design language aims to make technology visually expressive, symbolizing openness and transformation.

According to realme, the design also mirrors the multifaceted nature of Gen Z—balancing confidence with introspection, and playfulness with purpose—positioning the smartphone as an extension of personal identity rather than just a functional device.

The smartphone will be available in Trans Orange, Trans Silver, and Trans Blue colour options.

Bridging Education and Industry -

Beyond the product itself, the initiative reflects a growing trend of collaboration between educational institutions and consumer technology brands. For the students, the project served as a bridge between academic learning and real-world industry experience.

By involving young creators directly in the process, realme aims to strengthen its connection with its core audience. The company sees the realme P4 Power not just as a new product launch, but as a demonstration that student-driven ideas can meaningfully shape the future of mainstream consumer technology.

Following a series of teasers, Francis Wong has confirmed that the smartphone will be equipped with a massive 10,001mAh battery. It will be available on Flipkart after the launch.

Commenting on the collaboration, Francis Wong, Chief Marketing Officer, realme India, said:

As a brand that began its journey in India and expanded globally, we see India not just as a market, but as a growing design powerhouse. We strongly believe that the unique, hyper-local design sensibilities born here have the potential to become global trends. Our partnership with Pearl Academy gave us the opportunity to work closely with young designers and gain first-hand insight into how today’s generation thinks about design, usability, and self-expression. These perspectives have played a direct role in shaping the realme P4 Power and reaffirm our commitment to becoming the most loved smartphone brand among young consumers.

Aditi Srivastava, President, Pearl Academy, added:

This collaboration gave our students a rare opportunity to experience how a mainstream consumer product is imagined, developed, and brought to market. At Pearl Academy, we believe learning is most impactful when it goes beyond the classroom and into real-world practice. Strategic industry partnerships like this enrich the student experience by introducing real business challenges, live projects, and professional discipline into the learning process. By working alongside realme’s design and product teams as active contributors, students were involved in every stage—from early ideation and sketching to refined, market-ready concepts. This journey strengthened their confidence in decision-making, deepened their understanding of consumer-centric design, and offered valuable insight into the constraints, trade-offs, and rigour required to build products at scale. Such collaborations help bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring students graduate not only with creative ideas, but with the ability to apply them effectively in real-world, high-impact environments.
