realme has just dropped two contenders in the midrange arena: the realme 13 Pro 5G and its beefier sibling, the realme 13 Pro Plus 5G. These phones aim to deliver a well-rounded experience, blending impressive performance, capable cameras, and a stunning display.

Drawing inspiration from renowned French painter Claude Monet, the realme 13 Pro Series 5G boasts a back featuring a brushstroke effect that’s reminiscent of Monet’s iconic works. The circular camera module is a sleek addition, complementing the series’ overall aesthetic. Available in Emerald Green, Monet Gold, and the non-Pro-Plus-exclusive Monet Purple colorway, the lineup is as much a fashion statement as it is a technological marvel.

Let’s dive into the specs. Both the realme 13 Pro 5G and realme 13 Pro Plus 5G share a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, the display offers a premium viewing experience. Under the hood, you’ll find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor.

Where the two phones truly diverge is in their camera capabilities. The realme 13 Pro 5G packs a 50-megapixel primary sensor and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. Its selfie shooter comes in at 32 megapixels. The Pro Plus version takes things up a notch with a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-701 main sensor, an additional 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and the same 8-megapixel ultrawide shooter. Both main and telephoto lenses on the latter are equipped with optical image stabilization for blur-free shots.
