3 Reasons To Buy, 2 Reasons To Skip Realme 13 5G

Reasons to buy

Good audio output

The Realme 13 5G features a very loud stereo speaker setup. These speakers enhance the media viewing experience, which is quite decent for an IPS LCD display. It is Widevine L1 certified and supports FHD streaming on OTT platforms.

Excellent battery backup

The 5,000mAh battery of the Realme 13 5G lasts for a little more than 11 hours in the PC Mark battery test, which is decent. Moreover, you can easily get around 7 hours of screen on time in real world usage and the battery drain is lower as compared to other devices in the segment.

Decent daylight cameras

The Realme 13 5G has a 50MP+2MP rear camera setup that captures detailed photos in daylight with decent dynamic range and slightly saturated colours which seem to be closer to real-life when compared against some other devices in the segment.

Reasons not to buy

No AMOLED display

While the Realme 13 5G has a tall 6.72-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, it is an IPS LCD panel. This means that the colours aren't as punchy, or the blacks aren't as deep compared to other devices in the segment with OLED displays.

Underwhelming performance

The Realme 13 5G draws power from the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC. The benchmark scores are nothing to write home about, the device also lagged while browsing social media and you shouldn't get this device for its gaming performance either.
