Samsung Galaxy A13 5G

The Samsung Galaxy A13 is an affordable 5G phone. While it is also available in a 4G version, the price difference is small, which makes this A13 5G a lot more modern and future-proof. What else it is, and what not, you can read in this description.

Fast internet & fast screen

5G internet is coming and it is much faster than 4G. To take advantage of it, though, you need a 5G phone. This A13 5G is just that, without putting a dent in your wallet. What you also get is a smooth display with high 90Hz screen refresh rate. Animations look smooth and less blurry as a result. However, the screen is a tad smaller than the A13 4G but more importantly; it is less sharp. The HD+ resolution contains fewer pixels than the Full HD+ screen on the A13 4G. Test in particular can look less sharp because of this.

Three-way camera, one of which shines

On the back of the A13 5G, we find a triple camera system. Especially when you consider that before a few years back only two cameras were used on even the most expensive phone, this is very neat. The setup Samsung has come up with for the Galaxy A13 5G is a 50MP main camera, a 2MP depth camera and a 2MP macro camera. We have to admit that the latter two are a bit for padding; you'll mostly be busy with the main camera. Fortunately, thanks to a sharp 50MP resolution and bright f/1.8 lens, it shoots fine pictures. You capture sharpness/depth effect with the depth camera where background can be blurred and with the macro lens you can capture things from very close range. The latter function sounds nice but is not very useful due to the limited resolution.

Long-lasting updates

Samsung applies a generous 5000mAh battery inside, which thus contains enough energy for a day's use. This is just as well because extra fast charging is out of the question with the A13 5G. The processing power required comes from an eight coreed processor that has access to at least 4GB of RAM memory and 64GB or 128GB of storage. And then the memory is also expandable up to 1TB with a microSD memory card. Of course, the Galaxy A13 5G runs the Android operating system of which Samsung promises to release updates for up to 4 years. This will keep your device safe and usable for a long time.
