zubairiian, 13 Jun 2022Please tell me about Samsung a13.
Does Samsung a13 has &qu... moreI just search the Samsung community forum and it seems because A13 uses one ui core edition, that Samsung pass isn't available, so people use the Google smart lock.
I don't use that one either , so I don't know how good it is, but Google smart lock is on by default supposedly

Samsung pass again I can't find it on the phone but I also don't see it mentioned on the app store.
But maybe because I just don't use Samsung services, not sure

Great phone, I would say extreme value for money, beautiful smooth screen, fast, and something I would expect from a phone 3 times the price. Leagues ahead of the A12.

Call Me By Cris, 12 Jun 2022Read through the 9 pages of opinions and I want to share so... moreWith that I agree. For sure even if a13 is not ideal specially screen we can't compare it to those poco moco phones who at paper offer better parts but in practice surely has some hidden flaws and instabilities. So I'm same as u my budget was 200 I wanted new samsung phone so this was only choice.

Read through the 9 pages of opinions and I want to share some thoughts.
Now, I personally have not used or held this phone but it is a part of my list of devices I might upgrade to. Because the budget is only going to be around $200, I have to take note of this phone.
After researching for options from one brand to another, I notice the specs of the A13 4G is competitive with the likes of Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus's $200 offerings. Then $200 phones from Xiaomi, Poco, Realme, Infinix, and Tecno are better on paper but does have drawback/s to get the prices down and pack as much value as possible.
$200 phones from Xiaomi, Poco, Realme, Infinix, and Tecno are unbalanced. For example, Poco phones are great in performance and features but its Android skin still need some tweaks.
Then for $200 phomes from Samsung, Oppo, Vivio, OnePlus, (Nokia and Motorola too I think), and Huawei, are balanced. They are not the best at this, not the best at that, but fine across all departments; software, performance, hardware, and such.
So for me, I don't think it's right to compare the A13 4G to the Redmi Note 11, Poco M4 Pro 5G, or other similarly priced phones, because these devices may have chosen the same paths or the same goals but they walk or approach it differently. Samsung is taking it easy and walking through it while Xiaomi/Poco is sprinting and doing flips.

"Display "
"Visibility enhancements"
And enable to option to reduce transparency and blur effect.
Again not much of a difference but it does feel slightly better.

Is not best solution for me but have to keep him for now until find some deal offer that match my budget possibilities. And yeah here never saw 6gb and 8gb ram versions we receive only 3 and 4gb versions with 64 and 128gb internal. Also only black and white skin of phone no orange violet and blue !

I get some regions have specific restrictions and preferences on internals and features , like in the UK we usually get Exynos soc compared to other regions getting Snapdragon....some places get fm and others not , just like ram differences for some regions and such.
Thankfully the battery in my A13 lasts just over 2 days , my iPhone lasts just about 2 days at a push.

So is totally unfair while accessories for phones they sell here at mad prices all is expensive in Serbia comparing to our budget. While west have similar or lower prices but salaries can't compare to here. For me matter performance and screen and baterry and on this phone all of those are below average.

Jels, 08 Jun 2022English isn't my natal language so i might make mistak... moreIt's perfectly fine, I was trying to imagine a phone with a mask...but yes I get you.
See I got this A13 cheap in the uk, £140 , then I did my usual of buying a cover / case from a Chinese dealer for under £4 , it is an hard plastic case.
Yes the phone is slow, but I use it more than my iPhone 13 , which was a gift...but also has my favourite China sourced case and accessories.
Some people care about performance, I really only care about battery life / stamina between each charge.
Everyone has their own opinions and preferences.
