realme has just launched its latest smartphone lineup, the realme 13 Pro Series, marking a major milestone in its journey through the premium mid-range market. With two variants—the realme 13 Pro+ 5G and realme 13 Pro 5G—this series boasts innovative camera features, artistic design elements, and powerful hardware aimed at mobile photography enthusiasts and fashion-conscious users alike. Prices start at RM1,999, and the devices are now available nationwide.
One of the standout features of the realme 13 Pro+ 5G is its cutting-edge camera system. It’s the first in its segment to incorporate a 50MP Sony LYT-600 periscope telephoto camera with a 1/1.95” sensor, offering 3x optical zoom and up to 120x zoom. This feature is paired with the Sony LYT-701 sensor, another 50MP camera, both of which have received the prestigious TÜV Rheinland High-Resolution Camera Certification for exceptional image quality.
The realme 13 Pro 5G also shines in the camera department, featuring a 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and 2x in-sensor zoom, ensuring superb day and night photography.
The realme 13 Pro Series is powered by HYPERIMAGE+, a proprietary AI architecture that enhances the quality of visuals. Its three-tiered system—comprising flagship optics, AI imaging algorithms, and cloud-based AI editing—makes the series a powerhouse for professional-level photography. The AI Ultra Clarity mode further elevates telephoto shots up to 30x, while AI Smart Removal cleans unwanted elements from images with ease.
Under the hood, the realme 13 Pro Series is powered by the Snapdragon® 7s Gen 2 5G chipset, offering impressive performance and energy efficiency. The realme 13 Pro+ 5G houses a 5,200mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, capable of reaching a full charge in just 49 minutes. Meanwhile, the realme 13 Pro 5G includes 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging.
Both models offer up to 24GB Dynamic RAM and 512GB storage, ensuring smooth multitasking and ample space for apps and media. The devices are also built to last, featuring IP65 dust and water resistance and Armor Shield Glass, providing 160% more drop resistance than previous models.
Collaborating with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), realme has designed the 13 Pro Series with inspiration drawn from Claude Monet. The Monet Gold and Monet Purple colorways are influenced by Monet’s masterpieces, Grainstack (Sunset) and Water Lilies, creating a sense of artful elegance in smartphone form. The devices also feature a frosted glass back, giving them a sleek and comfortable feel.
