At such a low price point, the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G brings 5G technology to the masses, and has been lauded by critics for its good battery life and speedy performance.

With at least 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates, the A13 5G is designed to have a long life, and will last for several years until requiring an upgrade.

Does the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G have a good design?

Compared to the regular A13, the A13 5G has a relatively similar design.

One of the major differences is the bezels around the display. The A13 has relatively large bezels, compared to the slimmer bezels with the A13 5G. Although the asymmetrical chin remains, it’s far less prominent and offensive.

The overall design language of the A13 5G is rather minimal, and doesn’t stand out.

Does the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G have a good display?

The A13 5G features a large 6.5 inch panel at 1600 x 720 pixels resolution. The panel features PLS LCD technology, with a fast 90 Hz refresh rate.

Unfortunately, there’s no OLED display as featured with many mid to high-range Samsung phones, however initial reviews show the A13 5G’s display is still vibrant and bright.

Compared to more expensive phones, the A13 5G has relatively large bezels, and a prominent chin bezel. There’s no notch, but instead a small dropdown curve for the selfie camera.

Is the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G fast?

Unlike the regular A13 with Samsung’s Exynos technology, the A13 5G features a Dimensity 700 chip from MediaTek.

The switch to the Dimensity 700 processor appears to have paid off, with fast performance that is able to run multiple apps at once with quick access and minimal delays.

Of course, at this price point, you can expect occasional stutters, particularly under heavy workload. However, the A13 5G is able to keep up in most situations.

Does the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G have a good camera?

With a total of 3 main lenses, the A13 5G has a generous camera array for this price point.

The cameras are extremely versatile for a suitable lens in nearly every situation, featuring a huge 50 MP wide sensor, 2 MP macro sensor and 2 MP depth sensor.

Image quality excels in bright light and is good enough in most low light situations. It can struggle with night shots, however Samsung’s camera AI does its best to preserve detail and colours.

What operating system does the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G come with?

The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G initially shipped with Android 11, and is now upgradable to Android 12.

Samsung have promised two major Android updates for the A13 5G. Since it’s already received one, we can expect Android 13 to be the final version it will receive. However, there will be an additional year for security updates.

Does the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G have good battery life?

With a large 5000 mAh battery and power efficient chip, the A13 5G has great battery life, for more than a day’s usage.

According to a review by The Verge, the A13 5G was able to last at 2 days with moderate use, until requiring a recharge.

There’s 15W fast charging, however there’s no charger included in the box - just a USB-C cable.

There’s also no wireless charging, but that’s expected at this price.
