The ZuPick verdict

2.8out of 5
SkipBest at value, weakest at display.

The realme 13+ 5G gets some important things right, especially camera stabilisation, video features and daily usability. But in this price bracket, its weaker display and below-average performance make it hard to recommend strongly.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance2.9
It scores about 452,000 on AnTuTu, which is below average for this budget. Day-to-day use stays smooth enough, but demanding games and heavier multitasking are not this phone's strong suit.
Camera3.1
The camera setup has some real strengths: OIS on the 50 MP main camera, an f/1.8 lens and 4K video recording. The lack of a telephoto camera and a fairly ordinary selfie camera keep it from feeling like a true camera-focused pick.
Display2.2
The 6.72-inch 1080x2400 screen is sharp enough, and 120 Hz keeps scrolling smooth. The problem is the LCD panel and 580 nits brightness, which leave it looking less vibrant and less readable outdoors than many rivals.
Battery2.7
The 5000 mAh battery is standard for this price, and 45W charging is handy for quick top-ups. Battery life of 11h 12m is serviceable, but it does not stand out in a category where many phones go longer.
Value3.2
At ₹23999, the package is mixed. You get a stabilised main camera, 4K video, IP64 protection and useful everyday extras, but the display and performance are only mid-pack for the money.

Pros & cons

What’s good
OIS main camera

The 50 MP main camera gets optical stabilisation, which is still a meaningful advantage in this price range. It helps with steadier low-light shots and smoother handheld video.

4K video support

It records up to 4K at 30 fps, giving it more flexibility than phones that stop at 1080p. That is useful if you shoot travel clips or want extra room to crop.

Fast everyday charging

45W charging is practical for daily use, and the phone reaches 50% in 30 minutes. You can top it up quickly before heading out.

Useful extras

Stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and IP64 protection make the phone easier to live with. These touches add convenience without needing accessories.

What’s not
Weak for the price

It scores about 452,000 on AnTuTu, which is below what most phones around this budget deliver. Basic use is fine, but heavier games and long-term performance are less convincing.

Dim LCD panel

The LCD screen peaks at 580 nits, so outdoor visibility is a clear weak point. It also misses the deeper contrast and richer look that AMOLED rivals usually bring here.

Average battery setup

The 5000 mAh battery is standard rather than standout, and endurance is only decent for this class. Charging is convenient, but battery life is not a major strength.

Two week old phone, I play Genshin and HSR, and from SEA. Smooth performance on default. So far, cooling system has improved, highest temp I've noticed is at 39C.

Update: It is indeed sexy. No regrets yet. Camera is actually like extremely fine :)

Its a good mid-range phone, with emphasis on gaming. Camera is decent enough for everyday use, but not as feature-rich compared to its camera-centric brethren (13 Pro and 13 Pro+).

I bought my 13+ mainly because of the D7300 and the better software experience with realme, coming from a Poco X5.
