The realme 13 4G is now out and, from what it looks like, the 4G-only Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 chipset is the only disappointing feature here.
If you want 5G, you should wait for the realme 13 Pro and Pro Plus. But if your budget is limited, then there’s good reason to settle for the realme 13 4G. Other than the price, it has a modern 50-megapixel main camera, which uses an LYT-600 sensor, with a 26mm equivalent lens, and optical image stabilization.
It doesn’t get to have an ultra-wide or telephoto lens, but it does have an obligatory depth sensor and a 16-megapixel selfie snapper.
Another fancy feature is the 6.67-inch E4 OLED display with a sharp FHD+ resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and 180Hz touch sampling for extra sensitivity. It has 8-bit colors and 98% DCI-P3 coverage. Plus, 2,000 nits of peak brightness. You can also use your screen even if it’s wet.
Since it has an OLED panel, the device managed to receive an in-display fingerprint scanner. It also has stereo speakers with Hi-Res certification.
Another highlight feature is the flagship-grade 67W fast charging, which can fully charge the 5,000mAh battery in just 47 minutes.
The realme 13 4G is now listed in Indonesia for a price of IDR2,799,000 (~Php10,100) and IDR2,999,000 (~Php10,800) for the 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB models, respectively. realme Philippines is still mum about the realme 13 series’ arrival in the country, but it should arrive really soon.
