The realme 13 Pro series recently hit the market, and reviewers are already impressed with the "Plus" model. This mid-range phone boasts advanced cameras, fast charging, and AI-powered software features. Let's dive into what the critics are saying:
Design and Display:
- The 13 Pro+ retains a similar design to its predecessor, with a lightweight (190g) body and comfortable, rounded edges (MySmartPrice).
- The large camera bump is prominent, and you can choose from a sleek gold glass back or a stylish green eco-leather finish.
- The display is a highlight: a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and impressive brightness levels (up to 1400 nits in auto mode). However, HDR certification is missing.
