Realme has started the year with style thanks to the release of its Snapdragon 888-powered, Realme GT flagship in China. At the end of the month, the company will unveil a new variant with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chip dubbed Realme GT Neo. Now, a new report suggests that at the very same March 31 event, the company will bring the Realme V13. The Realme V-series, so far, has remained as a Chinese exclusive lineup of smartphones. The devices are usually mid-tier or budget phones with 5G connectivity.
The Realme V13 is coming two months after the Realme V15 (Realme clearly isn’t interested in following numbers’ sequence here). The new Realme V13 design quite resembles the Realme V15 with some elements coming from the Realme V11 5G. On the front, the phone brings back Realme’s favorite punch-hole alignment. In the rear, we have a Quad-Camera arrangement with a setup that resembles the V11 and also the recently released Realme 8 series.
