As expected, Realme unveiled its new mid-range smartphones, the 13 5G and 13+ 5G. The two join another duo of mid-end phones that Realme introduced not long ago, the 13 Pro and 13 Pro+.
Judging by their name, the new Realme phones are slightly less powerful than the 13 Pro series launched last month, but they’re certainly just as interesting, especially the Realme 13+ 5G.
Realme 13+ 5G
- 8/128GB – Rs 22,999 ($275 / €245)
- 8/256GB – Rs 24,999 ($300 / €270)
- 12/256GB – Rs 26,999 ($320 / €290)
Realme 13 5G
- 8/128GB – Rs 17,999 ($215 / €195)
- 8/256GB – Rs 19,999 ($240 / €215)
Now, what makes the Realme 13+ 5G unique for a short period of time is the fact that it’s the first smartphone to use MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset.
This very new SoC is manufactured using 4nm technology and accommodates eight cores: 4x Cortex A78 clocked at up to 2.5GHz and 4x Cortex A55 clocked at up to 2GHz. The chipset also features a Mali-G615 graphics processing unit (GPU) and a MediaTek NPU 655 (neural processing unit).

Other than that, the Realme 13+ 5G is a pretty standard mid-range smartphone. It sports a 6.67-inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 2,000 nits peak brightness, as well as a dual camera (50MP Sony LYT-600 + 8MP ultra-wide).
Both phones are powered by 5,000 mAh batteries, but the Realme 13+ 5G supports 80W fast charging, while the Realme 13 only 45W.
