The ongoing RAM crisis has been a bane for the smartphone industry this year. Brands have been forced to hike prices of their phones, often multiple times, forcing consumers to pay more. Now, the Realme P4R 5G has been added to the price hike list, bringing its first price revision since launch.

The Realme P4R 5G launched in India starting at Rs 18,999. However, we were able to spot a price hike for the phone via the official Realme India website and Flipkart.

While there is no official word on the price hike from Realme, the new prices are already live on the official website and Flipkart. Just recently, Oppo K14, K14x and A6s prices were hiked in India as well.
Similarly, brands like OnePlus, Nothing, Samsung and more roll out regular price revisions, making it hard for consumers to track. That's why Beebom Gadgets is maintaining a dedicated India smartphone price hike tracker to help you stay on top of the price hike situation and make more informed purchases.
As for the Realme P4R, going by the recent trend, this seems to be just the start of a barrage of further price hikes. Only time will tell if that will indeed be the case, so stay tuned.
