Now that the realme 13 5G is announced, your chance of getting a trusted all-around smartphone is about to be realized! I got the chance to have an early look and experience the realme 13 5G and in just a matter of days of using it, realme 13 5G became a companion in my round-the-clock smartphone tasks. Let's dig deep on its features and traits, 032tech will share our impressions and then you can comment your questions at the bottom of the story.
What's Inside the Box?
I immediately unboxed the iconic yellow box containing the realme 13 5G as soon as it arrived. The box contains realme 13 5G; 45W USB Type 2.0 Power brick with nema plugs & 1-meter USB to type C cable; realme safety guide translated in different languages; realme RMX9351 Quick guide also in different languages; SIM/Memory tray ejector tool and realme 13 5G clear case.
Mobile Gaming: GT Mode and Thermal Profile
After unboxing and running though the usual android smartphone setup, I downloaded right away one of the online racing game that I usually play: Need for Speed No limits and seated comfortably at my gaming couch and play. While launching the game, the Game toolkit Hyperboost engine automatically launches which lets you customize your gaming experience according to your likes.
 |
| Game toolkit auto opens when you start your favorite games. Available Performance settings are Low Power Mode, Balanced mode and GT Mode. |
GT Mode helps you to manage resources to focus on the running game for constant high frame rates, high image quality, and maintaining low temperature. While enabling GT mode on my gameplay, I haven't noticed stuttering or hiccups, making me worry less while racing.
 |
| GT Mode will help you achieve your goal with its AI management of phone resources: processor, battery, and cooling system to your advantage. |
 |
| Game toolkit with Game focus modes: Block gaming tools, Block settings, Block Calls, Block Notifications, Block alarms and Glock Gesture notifications. |
While winning the challenges and completing the missions, level by level, I did notice that I barely feel a disturbing rise of device temperature in my fingers (phone case is removed), which is another good trait of realme 13 5G. It is the Vapor chamber cooling system that's responsible in achieving such comfort and keeping the device’s temperature cool at up to around 39° to 41°C during my racing course.
Did you know that the device lower temperature also help keep frame rates stable during long gaming sessions? It's really a good factor that realme 13 5G implemented a countermeasure to have control on the thermal aspect.
Storage: Massive 26GB RAM & 256GB Storage
realme 13 5G's intelligent solution to memory flexibility is another good trait of this model. Imagine gaining over 116% more RAM through its Dynamic RAM Expansion (DRE) function. The device can take advantage of using up to 14GB of the device’s internal storage to act as Virtual RAM to help improve performance and overall multitasking. Thanks to realme engineers for making it possible!
A DRE of 14GB equates a total of 26GB RAM making realme 13 5G able to open and run apps faster. It deploys a better RAM management where 4GB of the device’s physical RAM can act as a dedicated gaming memory for quick game launch and quick startup. Game updates can also be done in the background, downloading resources automatically to avoid having to wait for game updates to download.
A whooping 256GB storage, you can keep portfolios of stock photos and Videos that you can use in the proper timing. Worry less in choosing among your files on what to delete. For gamers, it can store up to 70 gaming apps with an average size of at least 3GB each, of course you wouldn't do that, just to give a better size up of realme 13 5G storage capacity.
Battery: 5000mAh Massive Battery with 45W SUPERVOOC Charging power
With the advancement of battery technology, realme 13 5G is one of the contenders in terms of battery capacity, life and power electronics advancement in charging. A full battery can get you up to 7 hours of gaming and thanks to SUPERVOOC charging tech, battery can get to 50% in 30 minutes, and up to 100% in 80 minutes! The battery size is enough for heavy smartphone users to allows for all-day use.
With greater capacity and faster filling you might wonder on the device safety side? realme engineers deploy safety protections including protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, overheating, abnormal circuits, and with a fireproof design. At a rate of a single full charge daily, realme 13 5G promises its battery will retain high battery health even after 1,600 charging cycles that amounts to 4 years. Although I can't verify it now since I need an accelerated type of bettery life testing to test it, I believe that realme engineers did a good job in coming up with those battery life claims.
Microprocessor: MediaTek Dimensity 6300
Racing with Electornic Arts' Need for Speed No Limits demands an amount of processing power, realme 13 5G with MediaTek Dimensity 6300 shows it can handle such tasks and at users demand. The 6300 is highly power efficient processor which supports 5G Connectivity and stable frame rates for gaming at 60fps for Free Fire & MLBB games.
MediaTek Dimensity 6300 CPU Clock Speed of up to 2.4GHz can handle medium to high graphics depending on the game.
AI: 40% Better than its Predecessors
Another good trait of realme 13 5G is it's equipped with AI Boost 2.0. Human beings tend to be subjective in fine tuning phone settings and resources while AI can decide better with the aid of algorithms they're trained to. Whenever I feel of balancing between work tasks and gaming I choose the boost that I need aided by AI.
AI Boost 2.0 allows the user to to choose between Smooth boost or Game boost. Smooth boost makes the phone prioritize multi-tasking capabilities by optimizing memory usage for optimizing apps, app launch times, touch response, and memory usage while game boost lets the user set the minimum CPU and DDR frequency for an optimized and improved gaming experience.
Audio: Stereo Speakers
I like stereo outputs for audio although I have a pair of realme buds air, still the availability of dual speakers on realme 13 5G can deliver loud and complete with elements sound output and clarity.
It has the 200% UltraBoom function found on previous models too!
In its segment, realme 13 5G is a head-turner for gaming enthusiasts who are into social competitive play, Esports fans and even in the amateur scene. A good candidate reliable smartphone for daily medium-to-heavy smartphone users. All because of its 5G connectivity, fast charging, battery capacity, GT mode, Stainless steel vapor chamber Cooling System and realme Quality with advance simulations for quality assurance. realme a3 5G is perfect for students and young professionals who wants to do more and actively seeks value of money.
