After the launch of the two Pro modelsthe focus is on the vanilla Realme 13 4Gwhich is launched Today in Indonesia. As the name suggests, this is an LTE phone instead of 5G like the Pro and Pro+.

This also means that instead of a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, it uses a Snapdragon 685. The chip is paired with a 7-layer cooling system that includes a vapor chamber (4,392mm² in size). You might remember this chip from the Realme 12 4G and a quick comparison it turns out that hardly anything has changed.
To be fair, the Realme 12 4G was launched in July this year, so it’s only a month old at this point. The difference between the 12 and 13 is that the new model is dustproof (IP64 vs IP54). Everything else is the same.
This means a 6.67” OLED display (E4 material) with FHD+ resolution. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. This is an 8-bit panel with 98% DCI-P3 coverage. The brightness normally reaches 600 nits, but can peak at 2,000 nits (there are 4,096 brightness levels).
The display has a built-in fingerprint reader. Interestingly enough, it can also measure your heart rate, in case you don’t have a smartwatch with you that does that already.
The rear is home to a 50MP camera that uses the Sony LYT-600 sensor (1/1.95”). It has an f/1.88 lens with a 26mm focal length and OIS. It is accompanied by a depth camera. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera (f/2.45). Both the front and rear cameras can record video at 1080p @ 30fps.
The Realme 13 4G is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that supports 67W fast charging. It reaches 50% in 19 minutes and 100% in 47 minutes.
In terms of audio, the phone comes with dual speakers and has Hi-Res Audio certification: yes, it has a 3.5mm headphone jack.
