Since the handset features the same chassis as the 4G model, it is IP64 certified against water and dust and has a stainless steel vapor chamber for more efficient cooling.
A standard 5,000 mAh battery keeps the lights on, but unlike the 4G model, the 5G model settles for a 45W fast charging solution, not 67W.
The Realme 13 5G will be available in two memory variants - 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB and can expect two major Android updates and three years of security patches.
