Samsung Galaxy A13

Samsung Galaxy A13

The Galaxy A13 is one of the newest entry-level phones joining the Galaxy A family. We have the 4G version for review, which is already in USA and Europe. There is a Galaxy A13 5G as well, which upgrades to a 90Hz screen and a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, but is otherwise quite similar to our 4G version. It should be noted that the Galaxy A13 is actually not the lowest entry into the Galaxy A family, as it still sits above the Galaxy A03. Samsung has really been fleshing out its lineup lately. Unfortunately, that also means we end up with a large number of very similar devices. The Samsung Galaxy A13 comes with 6.6-inch FHD+ display and Exynos 850 processor. Specs also include 5000Ah battery with 15W charging speed, Quad camera setup on the back with 50MP main sensor and 8MP front selfie camera.

Unlike the Galaxy A32, though, the A13 has a simpler overall body construction. Instead of using a three-piece design, the A13 has a plastic unibody, which was all the rage a few years back but very rare these days. It is made of plastic, which makes it lightweight and also can’t really shatter or dent. It can scratch and chip, though, and the material Samsung is using on the A13 isn’t the sturdiest. In fact, our review unit managed to pick up a nasty black blemish and a chip in the frame during the review without us doing anything particularly harsh to it.

The Galaxy A13’s body is nearly identical to the A13 5G, though it does get Gorilla Glass 5 display protection like the Galaxy A23. Also the same size 6.6″ PLS LCD, though at 60Hz, unlike the A13 5G and A23, both of which can do 90Hz.

Before we get into the actual review, let’s check out the retail package. Unfortunately, there isn’t much to go over here. Samsung has really slimmed down the accessory bundle. In fact, there are no accessories to speak of unless you count the Type-C to Type-C USB cable. We gave it a quick test, and it seems to be a simple passive cable without an e-marker chip. Then again, it just needs to handle 15W of charging and USB 2.0 data transfer speeds (480Mbps).
