realme has an impressive track record when it comes to mid-range smartphones. At the start of the year, realme launched the 12 Pro which generated quite a buzz with its stylish design and value-for-money proposition. Just six months later, realme announced the release of 13 Pro on 30th July 2024. The 13 Pro brings even more features with the same aggressive pricing strategy. And it all begs the question, is the realme 13 Pro the best value-for-money mid-range phone of 2024? Let’s find out.  Key Specifications of realme 13 Pro 5G   Design and Build Quality  realme has always prioritized the design and build quality of their smartphones. And if you have any doubt about it, the 13 pro is Swiss SGS 5 stars rated in the drop protection category. Just like last year, the 13 Pro also boasts a design that can easily rival any flagship out there. The brand has collaborated with the MFA Boston to create Monet-inspired elements in the 13 Pro. The engraved camera ring and the frosted textured back are a clear testament to that.  The dimension of the device comes in at 161.3 mm by 73.9 mm by 8.2 or 8.4 mm depending on whether you go for the vegan leather or standard option. The weight is also pretty manageable at either 183.5 g or 188 g.  Read more: Motorola Moto G85 5G Review: A Flagship Grade Display on a Lower Mid-Range Smartphone Ports and buttons are all in their usual space.

In addition to standard AI features like video and photo enhancements, there’s native object removal support, a directional audio enhancement feature on videos, and a Hyperimage+ feature for perfect backlit portrait shots. realme has also collaborated with Oscar-winning visual effects master Adam Valdez to fine-tune and perfect each of the features. Read more: Apple iPhone 16 Series: Everything We Know So Far The performance is near about what realme claims it to be. Pictures taken in daylight came out great with good details and dynamic range. The portrait mode was consistent with edge detection and bokeh effect, keeping things natural looking. The wide-angle shooter also performed similarly with slight softness at times. The front camera also produced decent social media selfies every time.  The dedicated night mode works pretty well with balanced exposure and details. It doesn’t blow up the subjects too much which is a great thing. realme seems to have perfected the balance where it doesn’t look artificial yet detailed enough for a crisp image.  The videography on the 13 Pro is rated at 1080p@30fps.  Read more: Oppo Reno 12 Pro 5G Review: Midrange Phone with AI Features
