hey, i have a Samsung a13 5g, just a precaution, don't get this phone if you're going to use it for personal or daily use. I use my phone for personal use, and I have had it for more than a year. I got it around September 2022. I remember being really happy with it at first, it had pretty smooth Hz and long-lasting battery life. After a while, it started to lag a lot when i would open up simple apps, such as TikTok, YouTube, etc. It would even kick me out of some games and apps because the system wasn't working or the launched app. Since December of 2023, it started to lag EXTREMELY bad, I couldn't even watch a single tiktok video without it pausing and playing (basically lag) and this, it would restart. ON ITS OWN. It does this for like a good 4 to 5 times a day. its january as of now and counting from like around my winter break thats probably more than a hundred times. My screen freezes a lot, and about a couple minutes ago it froze for about 15 minutes, it was trying to turn on but i guess it stopped midway so it was like a lit black color, but you could tell its on, but still frozen. Camera quality also isnt good. My dad has the really old Iphone SE and his camera is way better than my phone's. If you're looking forward to buy a new phone, do not get the A13 5G. I take good care of my phone and the fact that its doing this isnt good.

I checked it and from the sounds of what research I was able to accomplish it looks like this is going to be updated for a good long while. I am very okay with this.
I happened to catch a sale at QVC for it.
it's locked to TracFone but I'll unlock it, use it with my phone company and be giddy about it.
there was a new customer code for QVC that got me 10 bucks off of it so it ended up around the same as you paid.
Something like $54-$58(?) plus tax.
I'm really happy it's a decent phone although I do lament my old phone.
I've got a surface duo that I've used so much it's no longer functioning the way it should. it's a sad day.
I love that damn thing!!
Also a happy one because I'm getting a new phone!! I got it at a super good price & I can't wait to use that 50 megapixel camera and see what it can do!
I'll find someone at the local soup kitchen that has a TracFone and I'll give them the 1500 minutes that came with it.
you know my mama always said " waste not want not" and it always does good to help when you can.
I'm just very glad to have found a decent phone at an excruciatingly decent price.
I also invested in a new phone case and screen protectors for it.
Cheers and Happy New Year one and all!!

Two year old model that has been replaced by the a14 but the a13 updates to Android 13 so it will be good through 2024. Got this in October 2023 for $60US and I am very satisfied with it.

great value for money, has s decent screen for being an ips much better than the a13, runs android 13 with no problems at all at least for me it feels very responsive and fast mediatek 700 is a great chipset. it is too big though i hope samsung will go back to making small budget phones..

It's a terrible phone, the worst i owned and my last android was 10 years ago a cheap samsung mini 2: still the samsung A13 5G is a downgrade. I guess it's well deserved for people looking to have a 5G phone, which is needless and not my case. Im not sure what is worst, android 12 or the phone itself: there's no light sensor, i highly doubt there is any other sensors besides a poorly working proximity sensor. This means the camara doesn't work properly and screen brightness doesn't automatically adapt. It adapts at random, so you can't step outside in daytime without manually adjusting brightness beforehand. Talking about the camara...it has a lot of megapixels, which only means photos are bad AND take a lot of space, so slow loading and other issues. The camara is useless in less bright conditions. There's no radio, it takes a long time to charge and because the software is so poorly coded, the battery doesn't last much. Its antennas for 4G and 5G (if you happen to actually have any in your neighbourhood), are very limited. But hell, you can barely hear people talking, specially if they are using an iphone, it seems. I suppose the volume filters work in opposite directions, meaning one keeps talking louder and the phones keep cutting the voice volume to lower. Also, the sound seems to be coming out the back of the phone more than top front. The actual speaker and charging and headphones plugs are at the bottom - which is unhandy. The whole case is poorly designed, the phone is too big and too long specially...it's impossible to write two sentences without staining your hands, in any position. Also your eyes: you can't type without looking at the keyboard because it's not well placed and because the accuracy of it/spacing of keys and the "auto-writing" is very bad. Word suggestions mix languages (which i rarely use) and verb tenses weren't included. Still after 6 months it replaces words constantly with wrong ones, doesn't respond with suggestions or corrections when obviously theres a typo,...But i suppose this is a fault in android itself. Feels like they issue a buggy version to phones considered "entry level" or well...cheap - is 200 bucks cheap? I miss my windows nokia terribly. And don't be fooled people: MORE LENSES MEANS A BAD CAMERA. The phone doesn't focus automatically, you have to change camara "mode", move the phone physically back and forth and it's never sure the photo will be sharp focused (the screen is not that clear, it's only 270dpi definition anyway). The phones heats when charging even with a slow charger, and the plastic and the hyper reflecting screen glass always feel and look dirty. It's not like a more expensive phone would be better, android software is laggy, buggy, so poorly designed that you know it's not meant to work effectively or making your life easier, it's meant to waste our time. In all, samsung A136 is a pain to use.

I got it to Android 13 and OneUI 5.0 and it just became slow as all hecc, don't make that same mistake, because I'm getting something else now and I'm really happy that I'm for the most part not going to have to use this anymore, I'll have it but its not gonna be my main phone, overall, screen size? Alright, the camera processor is literal crap, S9 beats it, PLS LCD 60hz refresh is kinda alright, the ram is eh, and the battery is awesome, wish it was thinner like the old a10 series.
