Which phone has the better battery and charging?
The OPPO Reno13 Pro has a larger 5,800 mAh battery and lasts significantly longer — 14 hours 3 minutes versus 11 hours 34 minutes on PCMark. Both charge at 80W SUPERVOOC and support reverse charging. The realme charges to 100% faster despite the smaller battery.
| Component | OPPO Reno13 Pro | realme 13 Pro Plus | What it means for you |
|---|
| Battery capacity | 5,800 mAh | 5,200 mAh | OPPO has a larger battery |
| Quick charging | 80W SUPERVOOC | 80W SUPERVOOC | Identical charging standard |
| Charging time | ~49 mins (1–100%) | ~39 mins (20–100%) | realme charges faster despite smaller battery |
| Wireless charging | No | No | Neither supports wireless charging |
| Reverse charging | Yes | Yes | Both can top up accessories |
| Battery life (PCMark) | 14 hrs 3 mins | 11 hrs 34 mins | OPPO lasts over 2.5 hours longer |
| Cooling | AI Multi-Cooling with vapour chamber | 3D VC Cooling | Both manage sustained heat during gaming |
*➜ Pro tip: The realme's faster charge time (39 minutes from 20%) is based on a smaller starting battery — a fair comparison would be a full 0–100% test, where the OPPO's larger cell would likely close the gap.
