Samsung Galaxy A13 in for review

This is the Samsung Galaxy A13 – Samsung’s latest entry-level A series phone.

The Galaxy A13 is a simple phone that provides a good set of specs, an emphasis on display and battery life, at the affordable starting price of EUR190 for the 4/64GB model, which we have today.

The phone comes with a SIM tool and a cable, just like the expensive Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The Galaxy A13 is a handsome phone. It has a minimalistic feel to it with its simple design – the body of the phone is made of plastic and lacks any sort of cutouts or shapes. It kind of reminds us of the unapologetically plastic iPhone 5c from a few years back.

The display is surprisingly good for this budget. Specs-wise it’s unimpressive – a 6. 6-inch 1080p PLS LCD, with no fancy refresh rate. It’s brilliant, bright, colorful, and sharp. In certain circumstances, it can be used as an OLED entry level.

However, using the Galaxy A13 is all that’s needed to reveal its entry-level nature. The phone is not fast and sometimes stutters. It was slow to respond during its initial set-up.

That’s to be expected from the 4GB of RAM and the Exynos 850 chipset inside.

However, the Exynos 850 is an 8nm chip that, in collaboration with the 5,000mAh battery, should provide good endurance.

Another area we anticipate a good return for a reasonable price is in the camera. Especially the main one. It’s a 50MP f/1. 8 shooter that should be quite impressive for this segment. The chipset must be able to handle the resolution.

We’ll find out in our full review, stay tuned!
