Whether or not you prefer a pared-down design is entirely subjective, but I can’t shake the feeling that Samsung could have done more here to make the Galaxy A13 stand out. Battery Capacity: Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated (minimum) capacity is 4,900mAh.

Memory size - User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the phones features. The Exynos 850 system-on-chip inside the Galaxy A13 performs as slowly as expected. Especially when combined with the 3 GB of RAM, it performs abysmally bad with most tasks and gaming is certainly a pipe dream here. Unlike its 5G variant the Galaxy A13 5G, It only supports 4G cellular connections. The storage options consist of 32 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB - they are certainly not anything impressive, but thankfully it's possible to expand storage for up to 1 TB in capacity with a microSD card. And finally, the charging speed is capped at only 15W and the phone doesn't come with a charger. Galaxy A13: Price UK Meanwhile, portrait images taken on the two phones couldn’t look more different. For some reason, the A13 has dialled up the contrast to a considerable degree, and you lose a lot of detail in darker areas as a result – just take a look at the hair resting on the shoulders in the bottom picture and you’ll see what I mean.A budget handset will never be the last word in horsepower, but sadly this is where the Galaxy A13 really falls apart. Like the S22 series, the UK and US models differ in terms of chipset componentry, with the slightly older 5G-enabled US model (SM-A136U) getting the MediaTek Dimensity 700, while UK buyers are left with the 4G-only Samsung Exynos 850 (SM-A135F). Display Size: Measured diagonally, the screen size is 6.6" in the full rectangle and 6.4" accounting for the rounded corners. Actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and the camera cutout.

Scroll, stream, and share to your heart's content knowing A13 won’t run out before your train even arrives. When you do need a bit more juice, it's Super Fast Charging compatible, so don’t worry about being tied to an outlet for too long. Network: The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. Get comfortable being your group’s go-to, one-person camera crew. With a multi-lens camera, you’ve got the shot, every time. Whether you’re snapping cityscapes, landscapes or family moments, "say cheese" is your new catchphrase. Actual user memory will vary depending on the mobile phone operator and may change after software upgrades are performed. Maximum brightness is also pretty good, peaking at 483cd/m² in our tests, and the phone’s contrast is a respectable 1,082:1. The only downside is that this is a bog-standard 60Hz affair, so you’ll have to look elsewhere for silky smooth scrolling. The US version of the A13 gets a 90Hz display, but the resolution is only 720p.

We can help with anything from transferring personal data from your old device to setting up any essential features. In short, what this means is that not only are UK consumers not able to buy the 5G model, but they’re also getting shafted when it comes to speeds. In the Geekbench 5 test, I recorded a single-core processing result of just 156, with an equally poor 587 in multicore. At first, I thought something must have gone wrong with the test, but multiple runs reached the same conclusion – as you can see from the graph below, this is a substantial decrease on the Galaxy A12’s scores. Video is captured at a maximum 1080p resolution at 30fps, with an option for 720p if you’re being conservative with file sizes. No matter the resolution, however, there’s absolutely no form of stabilisation to speak of, so while footage looks detailed for the most part, it’s going to be quite juddery. Landscape photos such as the one below have a good amount of detail, with a great use of HDR and reasonably muted colours. The Nokia G21 in comparison looked overly warm in some instances, and while there was still a lot to like in the standard 1x mode, the 2x digital zoom is far superior on the A13. With an sRGB colour gamut coverage of 99.1%, a total volume of 129.3% and an average Delta E (colour variance) of 2.09, the A13’s display isn’t too shabby, and I’ve seen worse on recent phones at this price – here’s looking at you, Nokia G21.
