The Realme 13 Pro series, set to launch in India and globally on July 30, is generating a lot of buzz thanks to its impressive camera features powered by Artificial Intelligence. While details about the phones are still under wraps, Realme has teased the Realme 13 Pro and the Realme 13 Pro+ with glimpses of its powerful AI camera features. In this article, we’ll dive into the AI Eraser and AI Ultra Clarity features, exploring how they enhance picture quality and offer a fresh perspective on mobile photography. To understand the impact of these AI features, we’ll analyze before-and-after photos from the Realme 13 Pro+.
Realme 13 Pro+ Cameras: An Upgrade for Photography
Before delving into the AI features, let’s take a quick look at the Realme 13 Pro+’s hardware. This phone features a triple rear camera setup, a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the 12 Pro+. The Realme 13 Pro+ boasts a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-701 primary rear camera with an f/1.88 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), ensuring sharp and steady photos even in challenging lighting conditions. A second 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 sensor handles telephoto duties with 3x optical zoom support, while an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera captures expansive landscapes.
While a full camera performance review is forthcoming, our initial tests with the AI Eraser and AI Ultra Clarity features provide a compelling glimpse into what the Realme 13 Pro+ is capable of. Realme calls its camera system ‘HyperImage+’, emphasizing how AI works in conjunction with hardware to deliver high-quality, dynamic imagery.
Realme 13 Pro+ AI Eraser Feature: Eradicating Unwanted Elements
The Realme 13 Pro+ features an AI Eraser feature, now a common trait among flagship phones, popularized by Google’s Pixel lineup. Our tests across multiple photos revealed impressive results. Beyond the effectiveness of the feature, the animation that accompanies the erasure process is truly captivating.
"It’s like watching Thanos disappear life forms in Avengers: Infinity War," one of our testers remarked, highlighting the visual appeal of the AI eraser in action. The AI Eraser successfully removes most objects and people in a single pass, although sometimes multiple tries might be required for more complex situations. We tested the tool on various elements, including individuals, vehicles, plants, and more, and it consistently performed well. However, it’s worth noting that an active internet connection is necessary to utilize this feature.
Examples:
To illustrate the AI Eraser’s capabilities, here are some before-and-after photos:
- Original Photo: A street scene with a passing vehicle.
- AI Eraser Applied: The vehicle is flawlessly removed from the shot, seamlessly blending the background.
- Original Photo: A group of people gathered at a park.
- AI Eraser Applied: Specific individuals have been removed, leaving a clean and distraction-free image.
Realme 13 Pro+ AI Ultra Clarity Feature: Sharpness and Clarity in the Spotlight
The Realme 13 Pro+ features an AI Ultra Clarity feature, designed to "enhance resolution and increase clarity" in blurry images. Our tests involved zoomed-in shots at 6x and 10x digital zoom, resulting in a noticeable improvement in image clarity.
Examples:
- Original Photo (6x Zoom): A blurry image of a distant building.
- AI Ultra Clarity Applied: The image is significantly clearer, with finer details becoming more visible.
- Original Photo (10x Zoom): A blurry image of a street sign.
- AI Ultra Clarity Applied: The text on the sign becomes more legible, although some blur might remain.
In general, the AI Ultra Clarity effectively removes noise from the image, although it isn’t a magic bullet for turning blurry images into perfectly sharp ones. Zoomed-in images of text sometimes became less readable after the AI applied its enhancement, suggesting that the feature isn’t foolproof in all situations. However, in many cases, the improvement in clarity and sharpness was evident, making a noticeable difference in the final image.
Beyond the Buzzword: Real AI Impact
Realme’s decision to incorporate AI into its camera system isn’t just about following the latest trend in the smartphone industry. The AI Eraser and AI Ultra Clarity demonstrate the tangible benefits of AI-powered photography. These features, comparable to Google’s Magic Eraser and Samsung’s Galaxy AI, are not merely gimmicks; they offer genuine value to users, enhancing the overall experience of mobile photography.
The Realme 13 Pro+, through its advanced camera hardware and intelligent AI features, stands out as a promising contender in the smartphone market. While a full review will be available shortly, the early impressions of its AI capabilities suggest a phone that delivers exceptional photography capabilities, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile imaging.
