Samsung Galaxy A13 4G Review
No doubt Samsung Galaxy A13 is a good smartphone but it’s overpriced. At this price, we have better phones than Galaxy A13 4G, so it doesn’t make any sense to pay extra money only for Samsung Logo. In short, if you wanted to buy only a Samsung phone then only you can consider it.
Samsung has done many compromises on its 4G smartphone which can be a huge letdown for most of the users. Let’s go deeper and see what Samsung has offered in its Galaxy A13 4G smartphone.
Display
The display has a 6.6-inches FHD+ PLS TFT LCD Display with 2408 x 1080 pixels resolution, a 20:9 aspect ratio, and a 60Hz Refresh Rate.
The front of the phone has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 Protection while the back and frame of the device are made out of plastic.
Here, Samsung should have provided an AMOLED Panel but they didn’t, instead of that they went with a PLS TFT LCD Display. So, yes Samsung has done cost-cutting in that.
There is nothing wrong with the TFT display but this is Rs 14,999 (~USD 200) smartphone and at this price, it’s not acceptable at all.
As the Galaxy A13 4G has a PLS TFT LCD display, hence it has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and not In-Display Fingerprint Scanner.
Overall, considering the price of the phone, it has an okay-type display and does not have a good display quality. Samsung should have gone with an AMOLED display but they didn’t.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy A13 4G has a quad rear camera setup that houses a 50MP primary lens with f/1.8 aperture, a 5MP ultrawide angle lens with f/2.2 aperture, a 2MP macro lens with f/2.4 aperture, and a 2MP depth lens with f/2.4 aperture.
There is an 8MP Selfie Camera Lens with f/2.2 aperture in the waterdrop notch design display. Both the front and back cameras can record up to 1080p videos at 30fps.
The 50MP primary sensor captures some good shots with good detailing, and there are no issues with dynamic range too. The night photos also come out well.
The 5MP ultrawide angle sensor also takes some good wide-angle shots but the wide shots suffer in the low lighting. Also, forget those 2MP + 2MP sensors as they are added just for numbers and help companies in the marketing.
Now, if you like the soft selfies then you will love the 8MP front camera as it’s far far away from natural colors and does not capture details.
Further, the device does not have Optical Image Stabilization. So, it relies on EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization).
Overall, the Galaxy A13 4G has decent cameras. It’s more or less similar to the other mid-range device’s cameras.
Performance
The Samsung Galaxy A13 4G is powered by an octa-core Samsung’s in-house Exynos 850 Processor coupled with Arm Mali-G52 MP1 GPU. It comes with up to 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM up to 128GB of eMMC 5.1 Storage.
The phone runs on the latest Android 12-based OneUI 4.1 skin out of the box which is a good thing.
The phone also has Virtual RAM availability. However, the extended RAM is a gimmick and used only for marketing purposes and has no use in real-life, so forget about that.
As it features Exynos 850 SoC which does not have 5G support, so you will be stuck with 4G.
Here, the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G is also compromised in the performance department. Samsung should have provided a better chipset but they didn’t, they went with Exynos 850 which is not acceptable.
Overall, the performance of the device is not good either you will use this device for gaming or day-to-day tasks.
Battery
The Samsung Galaxy A13 4G packs a 5,000 mAh Battery with 15W Fast Charging Support. Samsung has also provided a 15W Charger inside the box.
Here, Samsung has also compromised in the Charging, where other brands are providing a 30W or 33W charging, Samsung went only with 15W which is not good.
Overall, the battery life of the device is good and you will get a single-day backup.
Audio
The device does not have support for stereo speakers, the single bottom speaker does work but again, it is a single speaker.
Further, the Samsung Galaxy A13 has a 3.5 mm Headphone Jack to plug in your wired earphones or headphones.
Overall, the sound quality of the device is good (not that great) and there are no issues with call quality too.
