Highlights
- Realme 13 series set to launch in India in September 2024, just before Diwali.
- Exclusive availability on Flipkart, coinciding with Big Billion Days sale.
- Realme 13 Pro+ rumored to feature a 50MP 3x periscope camera and ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

Realme is preparing to launch its next number series of smartphones in India.
As per credible sources, Realme 13 is all set to arrive just in time for the massive Dussehra and Diwali sales extravaganza.
The launch of the much-talked-about Number series from Realme is likely to come in September 2024, according to information available with Smartprix.
This timing is likely to go with the brand’s ambition to cash in on the spending spree that accompanies India’s biggest festivals.
Flipkart Exclusivity Continues
True to tradition, the Realme 13 series will go on sale exclusively on Flipkart.
Insiders claim it is likely to coincide with Flipkart’s Big Billion Days – the annual sale that usually starts a month ahead of the Diwali celebrations.
However, since Diwali this year will come a bit earlier than in 2023, the Realme 13 series may adorn the virtual shelves in September 2023 to take over the reins from the current Realme 12 series, which comprises five unique models.
Initial Lineup and Rumoured Specs
While the final list is still kept under wraps, some rumors from the industry suggest that Realme will launch two flagship-grade devices for starters: the Realme 13 Pro and the Realme 13 Pro+.
Coming as top-of-the-line variants, these would pack the best of the series specifications and hardware.
Corroborating recent rumors, Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed what looks to be the Realme 13 Pro+.
This powerhouse will have a new 50MP 3x periscope camera, which will probably give quite a hard time to the 64MP periscope telephoto lens on its predecessor, the Realme 12 Pro+.
Furthermore, the Realme 13 Pro+ is said to pack Goodix’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which is a giant in the space of biometrics.
Expanding the Portfolio
As the festive season progresses, Realme could follow it up with more affordable variants like the Realme 13 and Realme 13+, copying the current Realme 12 series’ approach.
Further, a Realme 13x 5G could make an appearance, like the current Realme 12x 5G.
