The Realme 13 Pro series is here and I've been using the Realme 13 Pro+ for a couple of weeks - While it's not a major upgrade over the Realme 12 Pro+ in terms of sheer numbers - there are a couple of hardware changes that make it better to use - And there are also new AI features baked in - which are claimed to improve user experience and the photography prowess of the phones- Just like last year-s 12 Pro+ model - the new Realme 13 Pro+ is also mostly all about the cameras.

In our Realme 12 Pro+ review- we concluded that the phone was one of the best in the segment when it comes to camera performance- especially the telephoto sensor-The Realme 13 Pro+ gets a new telephoto sensor- but it's also now slightly more expensive- It now starts at Rs. 32-999 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. The 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB variants are priced at Rs- 34,999 and Rs. 36,999, respectively

Will the Realme 13 Pro+- with its new features- continue to be the best camera phone in its segment? Read on to find out.

Realme 13 Pro+ Design: Looks and feels premium..

Dimensions - 161.3x73.9x8.2mm

Weight - 190g

Colours - Monet Gold- Emerald Green

The design of the new 13 Pro+ is mostly similar to last year's model- but there-s now a glass-back variant as well- The Monet Gold colour option - which we received- has a glass back with a unique pattern that looks like sand waves, The edges of the rear panel are curved, which makes it easy to hold the phone, The frame is still plastic- though.

Realme has kept the large circular watch-dial-like camera module with the flute bezel- but it now gets the HyperImage+ logo at the bottom- However, one thing that's missing from the leather variant is the strip found in the older model that ran vertically across the centre of the rear panel, The rear is cleaner now, with the camera module being the standard design element,

In the box- the phone is accompanied by an 80W charger- a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, a case- a SIM ejector tool- and some paperwork,

Realme 13 Pro+ Display: Curvy with slim bezels

Display size - 6.7-inch

Type - AMOLED LTPS

Refresh rate - Up to 120Hz

Moving on to the front- you get a familiar-looking display setup- There's a 6.7-inch AMOLED curved panel that offers full-HD+ resolution with up to 120Hz refresh rate. You can choose between 60 and 120Hz refresh rates- while there's an auto mode that selects the best refresh rate based on what's happening on the screen, The display gets slim bezels all around and a hole-punch cutout at the top centre- There's also an under-display fingerprint scanner that's placed at the bottom. It works well- and I never faced any issues with it. The display doesn't support HDR unfortunately- but it is a 10-bit panel- Realme provides Vivid, Natural, and two Pro modes and also lets you adjust the screen colour temperature.
