Realme 13 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme 13 5G - an inexpensive camera phone with features

The Chinese company Realme has found its approach to the mid-price segment of smartphones. The corporation focused on the design of the products and their photographic capabilities, thanks to which it received the approval of millions of satisfied customers. The hero of today's review is also made according to the specified concept and has a high chance of success.

The appearance of the new product is better than that of most opponents. A marble-style back panel made of high-quality polycarbonate, a convenient side fingerprint sensor, relatively thin display frames and a beautiful block of photo modules distinguish the gadget from many monotonous alternatives. The 6.72-inch IPS screen can be treated differently. The absence of a PWM effect harmful to vision, excellent picture clarity at FullHD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate add to the list of advantages of the IPS panel, and the color rendering, which is faded against the background of AMOLED analogs, and the not very impressive maximum brightness already expand the list of disadvantages.

The technical characteristics include the MediaTek Dimesnity 6300 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and an "overclocked" Mali G57MC2 video adapter, which score a little less than 400 thousand points in the Antutu test. The user can count on a smooth Android 14 interface (RealmeUI shell), instant launch of almost all applications. As for gaming capabilities, they are far from flagship. If desired, you can spend an hour or two in resource-intensive games like Genshin Impact, but you need to set low graphics presets. The developer did not save on batteries. The 5000mAh battery provides up to 8-10 hours of active screen time, there is also a decent fast charge with a power of 45W (about an hour to 100% capacity). The permanent memory is allocated 128/256 GB, there is also a slot for MicroSD cards.

The main 50- (Sony LYT-600 sensor with hybrid stabilization) and 2-megapixel (portrait module) cameras are excellent within the price category. Daytime shots are 99% free of artifacts and have good detail, even evening shots rarely disappoint with noise and blur. There is no stereo sound in the device, but you can enjoy your favorite music in wired headphones, for which there is a separate jack. Support for NFC and 5G networks, coupled with a reasonable price tag, once again emphasize the relevance of the device.
