Realme has recently introduced its latest smartphone, the Realme 13 Pro, which promises solid performance and an elegant design. Priced starting at Rs 26,999, the device seems to have borrowed key features from its elder sibling, the Realme 13 Pro+.
Design and Display:
The Realme 13 Pro boasts a premium feel with its glass back featuring a sandblasted finish in Monet Purple color. The phone is lightweight, weighing less than 190 grams, making it easy to hold with one hand. It comes with an IP65 rating for protection against water, ensuring durability. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display delivers an immersive viewing experience with up to 120Hz refresh rate, Full HD+ resolution, and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. The phone also features Hi-res speakers for clear and loud sound output.
Performance:
Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, the Realme 13 Pro offers reliable performance for everyday tasks and gaming. Running on Android 14 with Realme UI 5.0 skin, the phone provides ample customization options but comes with some pre-installed bloatware. The device promises two years of Android OS updates and three years of security updates.
Camera:
In the camera department, the Realme 13 Pro sports a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. The primary camera captures impressive shots with good color accuracy, while the low light mode performs well in challenging lighting conditions. The phone’s portrait mode uses computational skills for background separation, producing natural-looking blur effects.
Battery:
With a large 5200mAh battery, the Realme 13 Pro offers all-day battery life, ensuring you stay powered throughout the day. However, the charging speed could be faster, taking more than an hour to charge fully with the provided 45W adapter.
Verdict:
Overall, the Realme 13 Pro proves to be a solid smartphone under Rs 30,000, offering a premium design, impressive camera performance, long battery life, and a vibrant display experience. Despite some bloatware issues and average low-light videography performance, the device provides good value for money. If you are in the market for a smartphone that balances performance and aesthetics, the Realme 13 Pro is worth considering.
