Samsung Galaxy A13 review

08 April 2022


Sort by:

Getting sick of companies releasing phones without performance cores. The A55 core is so old and tired. Heck, Samsung themselves uses a Unisoc SoC with performance core for the Galaxy A03. Why downgrade the SoC for the A13?

Profit must be really bad.

    Bro, buy a Redmi Note 11 and spare yourself the suffering of having a A13...
    Redmi Note 11 has amoled 90hz vs ips, snap680 has double the performance vs exynos 850, base version has 4GB ram vs 3GB ram, UFS storage vs eMMC, stereo speakers vs mono etc
    Imagine the lag and stutters after you install your apps, photos, videos etc in the A13 you'll cry about it...

      This "ecological" lack of chargers is so stupid. It's not ecological at all when you have to buy one separately that required extra packaging and extra delivery, because in the end, volume of packaging is LARGER. Especially when you are required to buy one to even achieve advertised "fast" charging rates. This removal of chargers with excuse for ecology is one of the biggest scams I've seen to date. And everyone is rolling with it and cheering it. It's ridiculous.

            This phone would have been good if it was around 150 but samsung yet again overpricing in my country this cost 200 dollars and there are plenty phone to get for that amount that's better or is it the android 12 that's expensive? It's quite sad since I ve been waiting for this after skipping A12 but this seems worse with higher price than a12 I'm highly disappointed

                  The A13 has the worst value for money among Samsung 2022's A series lineup. Add less than $50 and you can get the A23 with 90Hz display, OIS and more powerful chipset is $50 more.

                    trash phone of the year, for a $200 try to find older used phone you can get iPhone 8 Plus, Note 10 Pro, or Poco X3 Pro if you are lucky, yeah it's smaller storage but man 128GB with eMMC??

                      This would be a decent budget phone if it was on the budget. But it's not. This price is just to much. Yes, you get "SAMSUNG" brand phone and it will sell just for that reason, but it's not a good deal. 2022 prices are so wrong...

                        The lag and slowdowns will only get worse the longer you use the phone because every new OneUI version is heavier than the previous one. I shudders thinking how awful the A13 will be in user experience after 2 years.

                          I really liked 360 degree viewing of device in gsmarena reviews. Why was it removed?

                            Anonymous, 08 Apr 2022The worst part of this new set of A series is the increase ... moreSo the same as the 2022 Redmi series. Seems like everyone this year is doing worse. Let's hope Apple at least does go down that route.

                              I have just cancel my order. I am going to buy something else.
                              Poco M3 looks much better choice.

                                Looks like an oversized iPhone 5C. If only it was that size

                                  The worst part of this new set of A series is the increase in price vs decrease in quality

                                    Even Redmi Note 5 Pro from 4 years ago had better chipset for cheaper price.

                                      I'm not sure it helps Samsung to have phones in this price range. Every competitor beats it on numerous fronts.

                                        Its obviously a budget device, water drop notch, thick side bezels and chin.
