Design, build quality, dimension, colour

Realme has opted for a high-quality plastic body and middle frame with a flat design for the 13 5G.

The phone’s dimensions of 165.6×76.1×7.79 mm and weight of 196g give it a solid and comfortable feel in hand.

The phone is available in two striking colors-Dark Purple and Speed Green-the phone exudes a modern, youthful vibe. The circular ring camera module on the back adds to its aesthetic appeal.

Ports and buttons

The device is equipped with speaker grilles and microphones at both the top and bottom. ensuring clear audio during calls and media playback.

• At top: There are a hybrid SIM card slot, a microphone and a speaker grille.
• At bottom: There are a USB Type-C 2.2 port, a microphone and a speaker grille.
• On right-hand side: There are a volume rocker and a power button, both are located perfectly for easy access. Power button also doubles as a fingerprint sensor.
• On left-hand side: The left-hand side has nothing and is clean.

Battery

The Realme 13 5G comes equipped with a robust 5000mAh batter ensuring you all-day power even with heavy usage.

Whether you’re gaming, streaming or multitasking, this battery is built to last.

Charging

It also supports 45W fast charging which means you can quickly top up your phone when needed.

In just a matter of minutes, you can get hours of additional usage. This makes it ideal for users who are always on the go.

You can do 1 hour of gaming with a mere 20-minute charge, but 30-minute charge contributes to 2.5 hours of prolonged gaming. And 100% charged battery provides you up to 7 hours of straight gaming in medium game settings.

I suggest you use the GT Mode for a lag free gaming session for always and anytime you want.

The phone quickly charges itself fully within 59 minutes of time, which is good.

Weight

The Realme 13 weighs 196 grams on the weighing scale. This device is enough comfort to hold this phone in palm.

Friends, the in-hand feel of this phone is very nice and grip type because it is slightly curved on all edges even though it is a flat or boxy phone.

Display

One of the standout features of the Realme 13 5G is its 6.72-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display.

With a resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz, the display promises smooth scrolling and an immersive viewing experience.

The 580 nits brightness ensures clarity even in bright sunlight while the 83% NTSC color gamut and 1500:1 contrast ratio provide vibrant and accurate colors.

The 240Hz touch sampling rate further enhances the responsiveness making it absolutely perfect for average gamers.

Additionally, the phone features a 91.4% screen-to-body ratio giving you a near-borderless display that supports rainwater smart touch which is a handy feature for users in humid or rainy environments.

The HDR10+ support for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube are unavailable. So, content consumption whether it’s movies or games won’t impress you that much.

One of the reasons for not giving HRD support in this phone is because of its lower price. I understand that. But some of other brands offer HRD support for their device.

Storage and variants

The Realme 13 5G is available in two variants: 8GB LPDDR3X RAM with 128GB UFS 2.2 storage and 8GB LPDDR3X RAM with 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.
