realme 13 Pro Series 5G: An imaging powerhouse with a touch of Monet


September 19, 2024

Smartphones and classic impressionist art might seem like two different worlds that don’t belong together, but boy have we been proven wrong. The aesthetics of the realme 13 Pro Series 5G draw inspiration from the masterful brushstrokes of Claude Monet, emulating the style of his finest work in its design.

That being said, and as impressive as it may already sound, this is merely one of the talking points of the series.

Aside from continuing Monet’s legacy, realme’s latest smartphones are packed with a slew of flagship-grade hardware and AI features that put the realme 13 Pro 5G and realme 13 Pro+ 5G in a leading position in their class segment.

Stunning ultra clear cameras

If you’re a camera enthusiast, you’ll be glad to know that the realme 13 Series 5G boasts Sony sensors in all its rear cameras. Even with the base realme 13 Pro, you’ll be get the 1/1.95″ Sony LYT-600 sensor backing up the main 50MP lens. This particular Sony sensor is renowned for its low-light capabilities, thus allowing the main camera to capture outstanding photos even in poor lighting conditions.

Additionally, helping the realme 13 Pro’s camera performance is the 2x in-sensor zoom, which enables you to get up close to your subject, as well optical image stabilization (OIS) to curb shaky hands.

The realme 13 Pro+ 5G, on the other hand, offers a beefier camera array consisting of not one, but two 50MP cameras featuring Sony sensors. This time, the star of the show is a 50MP main lens supported by a 1/1.56″ Sony LYT-701 sensor with OIS. In short, the Sony LYT-701 provides an enhanced dynamic range capable of bringing out details and colours in dim settings, all while suppressing those grainy noise effects typically seen in low-light shots. The result? Crystal-clear, vivid photos no matter the lighting conditions.

That’s not all, though. The realme 13 Pro+ 5G also has the advantage of a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, once again utilizing the Sony LYT-600 sensor. This lens alone provides creative versatility thanks to the 3x optical zoom that’s ideal for portraits. The key point here is that it’s an optical zoom, which means no loss in quality even when you’re up close with your subject.

If that’s not enough, the periscope telephoto lens also features Ultra Clear 120x Super Zoom that captures even the farthest of subjects with unmatched clarity. In fact, this periscope telephoto lens is certified by TÜV Rheinland for High Resolution Camera!

Ultra-clear high-res photos are the dream combination for any photographer. Now, you can have it all on the realme 13 Pro+ 5G.

Experience the power of AI in photography

With the influx of AI features now readily available, a hallmark of an innovative brand is one that can adapt to the times. Luckily, realme has done just that by integrating its new HYPERIMAGE+ Camera system into the realme 13 Pro Series. The HYPERIMAGE+ is realme’s AI photography architecture that leans on three pillars: flagship optics, on-device AI algorithms, and cloud-based AI image editing.

We’ve touched on the flagship optics in the previous section; now, let’s talk about AI.

The realme 13 Pro and realme 13 Pro+ each boast a suite of AI features that will elevate your photography game. One of these is AI Ultra Clarity, which miraculously enhances the resolution of blurry, low-res images (like those old pixelated photos you took 10 years ago!).

Another one worth the mention is AI Portrait Algorithm, which, as you may have already guessed, levels up your portrait photography. It does this by accurately separating the foreground, midground, and background to perform pixel-level segmentation. In other words, it ensures that all layers in your portraits are rendered correctly, keeping your main subject in the foreground sharp while delivering a soft, creamy bokeh effect in the background.

You’ll also have AI Smart Removal which conveniently removes unwanted bystanders and objects from photos, as well as AI Group Photo Enhance which ensures that everyone in group photos taken with the main or ultra-wide cameras looks their best.

With realme’s HYPERIMAGE+, top-level AI features are now accessible to everyone.

Monet’s Legacy, continued

What’s more artsy than drawing inspiration from a generational artist such as Claude Monet? The realme 13 Pro Series pays homage to Monet’s legacy by basing the design on some of his finest works.

The realme 13 Pro 5G, for instance, comes in Monet Purple, emulating the delicate play of light and colour prominent in Monet’s famous Water Lilies series. As for the realme 13 Pro+ 5G, this model instils the golden hues of his Haystack series in the Monet Gold design. Monet’s iconic colours aren’t all there is to it, as the phones are also layered with frosted glass that glitters at certain angles.

Even the camera modules are adorned with the luxurious Sunrise Halo bezels which exude an air of luxury, almost like a premium high-end watch.

If, by some chance the Monet colours don’t appeal to you, the Emerald Green design with gold accents is equally as stylish.

Performance to match the pretty aesthetics

Beauty with substance – that’s how we would describe the realme 13 Pro Series 5G. Not only will you have a phone you’ll be proud to carry around, you’ll also be comforted by the fact that it is both reliable and capable.

The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 found in each of the models boasts top-notch performance coupled with efficient power consumption, allowing for smooth multitasking and seamless gaming for hours on end.

Pair the chip with the 5,200mAh battery and you’ll have a powerhouse of a phone that’s able to last a full day. In fact, realme promises that battery endurance has also been boosted, with the phones now able to maintain healthy batteries even after 3-4 years of use.

When it’s finally time to plug in, you’ll find charging to be a breeze thanks to the 45W SUPERVOOC charge on the realme 13 Pro 5G and the 80W SUPERVOOC Charge on the realme 13 Pro+ 5G.

Moreover, you’ll get a lovely 6.7″ AMOLED panel offering Full HD+ (2412×1080) resolution and 120Hz refresh rates, all within realme’s immersive Curved Vision display.
