Realme 13 Pro Series 5G gets ultra-clear camera with AI capabilities

Realme 13 Pro Series 5G will soon launch in India and will feature an ultra-clear camera with artificial intelligence (AI) features, the company confirmed at its AI Imaging Media Preview Event held in Bangkok on Thursday. Calling it the “first professional ultra-clear camera with AI”, Realme announced that the launch of its upcoming smartphone will also see the debut of the Sony LYT-701 camera sensor.

Realme 13 Pro Series 5G Camera Features

The Realme 13 Pro Series 5G is speculated to come in two variants — Realme 13 Pro+ and Realme 13 Pro. The former is confirmed to come with a dual camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-701 primary camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 periscope camera with 3x optical zoom capabilities.

Speaking at the event, Francis Wong, Head of Product Marketing at Realme, said: “While advances in smartphone cameras have given users more flexibility and control, purely hardware-based improvements are reaching a ceiling. The future lies not only in better hardware, but also in AI.”

The company says that the smartphone’s camera system comes with HYPERIMAGE+, a three-layer AI imaging architecture. It will support on-device AI imaging algorithms and cloud-based AI image processing. Realme highlighted three specific AI features that will be available on the 13 Pro Series 5G: AI Pure Bokeh, AI Natural Skin Tone, and AI Ultra Clarity.

AI Pure Bokeh is said to produce “realistic cinematic portraits in seconds”. On the other hand, Realme says that its AI Natural Skin Tone can enhance the appearance of different skin tones by offering a natural look using on-device AI processing. AI Ultra Clarity is said to enhance low-resolution photos and restore their quality. Realme 13 Pro Series 5G also comes with an AI Smart Removal feature that can remove objects in snapshots.

The Realme 13 Pro+ 5G is said to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it could be powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage.
