Realme 13 Pro+ Camera AI Features Tested: Impressive

The Realme 13 Pro series is set to launch in India and globally on July 30. The lineup will include the Realme 13 Pro and the 13 Pro+. Realme has been teasing the phones on social media and has also given away some details. At an event in Thailand earlier this month, the company showcased the AI features on the Realme 13 Pro series that'll help enhance the camera.

We got to try out one of the phones ahead of launch and test out the AI camera features. Below, I'll be talking about the AI Eraser and the AI Ultra Clarity features specifically. I'll be sharing some before and after photos of the tools in action to see how well they perform. While I cannot give you more details about the phone, I can tell you that I used the Realme 13 Pro+ to test the AI features.

Realme 13 Pro+ Cameras

Before talking about the AI features, I'll talk briefly about the camera hardware. The Realme 13 Pro+ has a triple rear camera setup that's an upgrade in some ways over last year's 12 Pro+. The new phone has a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-701 primary rear camera with an f/1.88 and OIS. Another 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 sensor performs telephoto duties with 3x optical zoom support. Now, Realme says that this is a periscope camera, but I did not find any periscope contraption for the lens system. Finally, there's an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera as well.

I won't talk about the camera performance as such since that'll be available in our full review. However, I clicked a lot of pictures on the phone and tried out the AI Eraser and the AI Ultra Clarity tools. Realme has used the term ‘HyperImage+' for the camera system and stated that the AI features make the output better. Let's find out.

Realme 13 Pro+ AI Eraser Feature

The Realme 13 Pro+ comes with an AI Eraser feature that's common in most flagship phones these days. Google was one of the first to widely popularise it via their Pixel phones. I tested the feature on multiple photos, and I must say, the results were pretty good. More than the results, I loved the animation that happens when AI erases. You feel like Thanos evaporating life form in Avengers: Infinity War.

Anyway, the results are pretty good, like I said, the AI manages to remove most things in one go. Sometimes it does take 2-3 tries to get rid of objects and people. I tried the tool on people as well as plenty of other objects, such as vehicles, plants, and more. It worked flawlessly most of the time. However, you do need an active internet connection to use the feature. Check out some samples below.

Realme 13 Pro+ AI Ultra Clarity Feature

Next, the AI Ultra Clarity feature on the Realme 13 Pro+ is claimed to ‘enhance the resolution and increase the clarity' of blurry photos. Once again, I tried this feature on the phone with zoomed-in shots in 6x and 10x digital zoom and found it to be somewhat effective in improving clarity. See some examples below.

I found the AI Ultra Clarity feature to mostly remove all the noise from an image. However, when it comes to making a blurry image clearer, removing noise doesn't do a lot. Zoomed-in images of text were less readable after the AI did its work. In some instances, this did work well and produced a cleaner image, but most of the time, the difference wasn't massive.

The AI tag for the camera on the Realme 13 Pro+ is not simply there because ‘AI' is a buzzword in the industry right now. The features do work, and I found them to be just as impressive as something you'd find on Google's Magic Eraser or Samsung's Galaxy AI.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
