realme 13 Pro Plus in for review
On July 30th 2024, I used the realme 13 Pro Plus to check its DSLR-like camera. The realme 13 Pro+ is packaged in a vibrant yellow box prominently featuring the “13 Pro+” label on its front side.
The box contains the realme 13 Pro Plus 5G mobile phone, a SIM card tool, documentation, a high-quality frosted non-transparent TPU case with a large circular cutout for the camera module, stickers, an 80W SuperVOOC charging adapter and a 1-meter Type-A to Type-C charging cable.
The charger brick and cable come in white. The phone supports 80W fast charging as confirmed by tests. However, it lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Despite housing a substantial 5200 mAh battery, the realme 13 Pro+ 5G maintains a comfortable heft. This powerhouse of a phone comes packaged with all you need to get started right out of the retail box.
Design, colour, in-hand feel and build quality
The Realme 13 Pro+ features a large, circular black island design that houses three cameras and a flashlight which looks stunning and gorgeous.
The phone features a 3D arc design which means it has curves on both the front and back providing a premium texture and a comfortable grip during use, carrying or holding. Its camera module is circular echoing the design of the realme 12 Pro Plus.
The phone is available in two distinct color options: Emerald Green and Monet Gold.
The phone features a finely crafted polycarbonate middle frame with a 3D curved design offering a premium and aesthetically pleasing in-hand feel. The back panel combines glass with a matte finish and leather accents ensuring it remains free from fingerprints and smudges.
This phone features a 3D curved OLED display, boasting a brightness of 2000 nits for HDR content, 1200 nits in sunlight and 600 nits for standard viewing. It is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Despite its size, the phone feels light in the hand and is designed to fit comfortably. The bezels and chin are slim and unobtrusive earning it a thumbs-up for design.
Ports and buttons
The bottom of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro houses a microphone, USB Type-C port, speaker grill and SIM card tray, presenting a bustling layout. At the top, there’s a noise-cancelling microphone alongside another speaker grill. The right-hand side features a dedicated power button and volume controls, while the left-hand side remains unadorned.

Weight, battery and charging
The Realme 13 Pro Plus 5G has a precise weight of 190.00 grams which is reasonable given its substantial dual-cell 5200 mAh battery.
This battery provides 1.5 to 2 days of backup with average use. The phone reaches a full charge in just 49 minutes using the included 80W charger making it outstanding in terms of weight, battery life and charging capability.
Display
Regarding the display, the Realme 13 Pro+ features a remarkable 6.7-inch 10-bit 120Hz 3D curved OLED display with a peak brightness of 2000nits for HDR content like HDR photos. However, it does not support HDR video playback on YouTube or Netflix. In real-life conditions, the measured brightness can reach up to 1400 nits.
Widevine L1 certification enables FullHD streaming of DRM-protected content. Although the phone does not not meet the Google Ultra HDR standard for photos, it offers a comparable feature within its native Photos app for images captured with the 13 Pro+.
Additionally, the device supports 2160Hz PWM Dimming. The display is capable of producing up to 1.07 billion colors and can automatically adjust its refresh rate from 1 to 120Hz based on the usage scenario.
The display readily supports a 120Hz refresh rate with a 99.9% efficiency rate meeting the modern era’s requirements for mobile phones under the 60K price tag in Nepal.
The video’s viewing angles are truly remarkable, maintaining crystal-clear sharpness from every perspective. The new realme 13 Pro Plus 5G stands out with its 5200 mAh battery and camera quality comparable to a DSLR.
The high brightness of 1200 nits should ensure clear visibility even in direct sunlight although extremely harsh sunlight might still pose a challenge. The display’s bezels and chin are exceptionally thin, offering a minimalist design.
Similar to other smartphones, this model boasts a contemporary and upscale appearance with its 3D arc design and central punch-hole selfie camera on the display distinguishing itself in the display category.
realme 13 Pro Plus full specifications
The Realme 13 Pro Plus 5G features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 Mobile Platform CPU, an upgraded processor with a maximum clock speed of up to 2.4GHz, built on TSMC’s 4-nanometer process node. This makes it a fairly capable chipset within the premium budget category.
The product is available in three different storage configurations: 8GB RAM with 256GB storage, 12GB RAM with 256GB storage and 12GB RAM with 512GB storage.
Discussing its scores, it achieves up to 682,560 real-life AnTuTu scores which is fairly respectable. While you can play games on medium settings, it’s important to note that this is not a gaming phone.
The device features a dual nano SIM card slot allowing the use of two SIM cards simultaneously without any room for an SD card. I had hoped for at least a hybrid SIM card slot.
Please share your preference: dual nano, hybrid or dedicated SIM card slots? Since the comment section is empty, I would like to request you to go there and leave your thoughts.

Performance
The Realme 13 Pro Plus appears to perform well. In terms of gaming, it can handle most games on low to medium settings although the inclusion of at least an SD 8 Gen 1 would have been more fitting for its price range.
The device offers 8GB and 12GB LPDDR4X RAM options, along with 256GB and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage variants. It is primarily aimed at users who frequently stream videos or are active on social media platforms.
OS and UI
The realme 13 Pro+ 5G is equipped with Android 14 from the start. The operating system is built on Android 14 and comes with a promise of two years of major Android version updates (up to Android 15 and 16) along with three years of security updates.
It is hoped that realme will deliver these updates promptly. Additionally, the phone is touted to maintain consistent performance for three years of continuous use. Moreover, its 3D curved display includes the Always on Display (AOD) feature.
The Realme 13 Pro+ introduces several AI features enhancing the user experience significantly. Two notable system-wide features are AI Screen Recognition and AI Smart Loop.
AI Screen Recognition functions similarly to Circle to Search; by long-pressing with two fingers—or using an alternative gesture—the phone scans the screen highlighting text and images for interaction.
Users can save text to the File Dock or press and hold images to save or share them. Dragging these to the side activates AI Smart Loop, a carousel of customizable apps for easy sharing or searching.
Apps within the loop may offer sub-actions like choosing between feed, story or DM on Instagram.
Additionally, the native Photos app includes AI Eraser (also known as AI Smart Removal) and AI Ultra Clarity for photo editing. While results may vary, tests show promising outcomes like effectively removing a flower bouquet from behind a Vespa and enhancing details in zoomed-in shots improving the appearance of foliage and facades despite some text irregularities.
Multimedia
The realme 13 Pro Plus features a vibrant 6.7-inch 120Hz 3D curved OLED display with a brightness of 2000nits. The display delivers exceptionally clear and sharp quality and colors from every angle, thanks to its capability to produce 1.07 billion colors on a 10-bit panel.
Although a 12-bit display would have been preferable, it is not included. The device lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack but comes with mono speakers that are loud and offer good bass quality. Overall, it makes for a solid multimedia device.
Connectivity
The Realme 13 Pro Plus is a 5G smartphone that supports 14 5G bands in India, along with dual 4G VoLTE and VoNR capabilities. It is equipped with WiFi 6 and supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, allowing connections to a variety of Wi-Fi networks.
Additionally, it offers features such as Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Display, and wireless screen casting.
Sensors
The realme 13 Pro Plus 5G is equipped with a full array of sensors including an in-display fingerprint sensor, face unlock, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, compass and others commonly found in smartphones, all of which are functioning excellently.
The realme 13 Pro+ boasts a SAR value that is within safe limits, an IP65 certification for dust and water resistance and dual-frequency GPS for accurate positioning. While it lacks an FM radio, it does support Widevine L1 enabling you to stream videos in FHD quality on platforms like Netflix and YouTube.
Camera
Given that the Realme 13 Pro Plus 5G is a premium category smartphone, you can anticipate advanced camera capabilities.
On the back, it features a 50MP Sony LYT-701 AI main camera sensor with OIS support, a 50MP Sony LYT-600 periscope camera sensor also with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide camera sensor.
The device features a 32MP front-facing punch-hole selfie camera that captures vibrant, social media-ready photos.
Photos and videos captured with the primary back sensor are outstanding under all lighting conditions and are certainly worthy of social media. The excellence of the images can be attributed to realme’s Hyperimage+ technology.
Before deciding to purchase this phone, ensure you review the original photos taken with it.
The primary sensor allows for videography at 4K resolution with up to 30 FPS (Frames Per Second) while the 16MP selfie sensor supports 1080p.
The camera app includes a native 50MP mode, night mode, video mode, film mode, photo mode, portrait mode, beauty mode, document mode, Pro Mode, Dual-View mode, Pro video, Panorama, Slow Motion, Time Lapse and Macro mode.
Thus, you can utilize the various modes to capture a range of moody and atmospheric photographs. By the way, both the main camera sensor and the periscope sensors natively support OIS.
Sound
There are no surprises in the speaker setup of the realme 13 Pro+ 5G – two speakers, one on the bottom and another one up top also doubles as an earpiece.
The top speaker gets the left channel when you hold the phone vertically and the channels are switched depending on orientation when in landscape. Each speaker only gets its own channel’s track and the bottom is a bit louder.
realme 13 Pro Plus DSLR camera
Compared to a DSLR, the realme 13 Pro Plus offers images with DSLR-like clarity, courtesy of its advanced AI capabilities and high-resolution sensors. While the realme 13 Pro Plus may outperform average DSLRs, it does not surpass the more costly DSLR cameras. Keep that point in the universe of your mind.
realme 13 Pro Plus benchmarks
Similar to its predecessor, the realme 13 Pro+ is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset. This Qualcomm processor is built on a 4nm process and slightly outperforms the SD 6 Gen 1, though it falls short of the 7+ Gen 2 and the original 7 Gen 1.
It does, however, offer improved performance compared to the Dimensity 7050 found in the realme 11 Pro+. The upgrade seemed more significant when the 12 Pro+ was reviewed than it appears now, one ‘generation’ later for sure.
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 includes an octa-core processor with 4 Cortex-A78 and 4 Cortex-A55 cores reaching up to 2.4GHz and 1.95GHz respectively. It lacks a prime core and the performance core design dates back to 2020.
The chipset features the Adreno 710 GPU which was first introduced with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC supporting FHD+ resolution at 144Hz. Memory configurations will differ by region. The RAM is LPDDR4X and the storage is UFS 3.1 consistent across all variants.
Benchmark tests show the 13 Pro+ scoring similarly to the 12 Pro+ aligning with devices like the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion and the Redmi Note 13 Pro as well as the Galaxy A35 (Exynos 1380). The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ and the Galaxy A55, however, boast more powerful GPUs.
The realme 13 Pro+ manages sustained workloads well maintaining about 70% of its peak performance with occasional surges into the 80s. The 3DMark Wild Life stress test yielded consistent results.
Additional features
The realme 13 Pro+ boasts a SAR value that is within safe limits, an IP65 certification for dust and water resistance and dual-frequency GPS for accurate positioning. While it lacks an FM radio, it does support Widevine L1 enabling you to stream videos in FHD quality on platforms like Netflix and YouTube.
