Samsung Galaxy M13 5G vs Realme 9 5G vs Poco M4: Design

 

For the Galaxy M13 5G, Samsung sticks to its tried-and-true design approach. The back panel, as well as the side frames, are made of plastic. Although durability is not a strong suit for smartphones in this segment, Samsung manages to pack this device into a bulky unit weighing 195 grams and measuring 8.8mm in thickness. The dual rear cameras are vertically integrated into the main unit.

The Realme 9 5G goes for the flashy route, with a glossy plastic panel that easily picks up fingerprints. It certainly appears to be more premium than the Galaxy M13, which may be enough for some buyers. This phone weighs 188 grams and has an 8.5mm thickness, making it easier to use with one hand.

Poco M4 tries to stand out from the crowd while staying within its budget. The majority of the phone is made of plastic, but the massive camera module at the back is difficult to overlook. The chin on the other two phones is smaller than the screen. However, the Poco M4 is the heaviest of the three at 200 grams, and its 8.9mm thickness makes it unwieldy.

Samsung Galaxy M13 5G vs Realme 9 5G vs Poco M4: Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy M13 5G is a valuable addition to this price range, but the 5G variant feels like a mixed bag when compared to the Realme 9 5G and the Poco M4. To begin, Samsung only provides an HD+ display, whereas the other two provide Full HD+ support for the display.

In comparison to the other two phones, the overall build quality of the Samsung phone feels inferior, and the charging speed supported by the Galaxy M13 5G is also slower. If you require the most recent Android version, the Poco M4 is the best option, while the Realme 9 5G is the best of the three.
