Juice up your battery to 50% in a mere 19 minutes, and get back to full power in just 44 minutes.

But the realme 13 5G isn’t a slouch either. It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and and is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery with 45-watt fast charging.

The two models feature the brand’s flagship GT Mode, which prioritizes gaming performance to deliver stable, high frame rates, as well as Stainless Steel Vapor Chamber Cooling System to keep things running cool even during intense gaming sessions.

It says the realme 13 Plus 5G and realme 13 5G aims to empower users not just in gaming, but also in content creation and community building.
