It’s a good phone for a budget, it takes photos, it calls, it texts, has an alarm, TH-cam, it’s a fine phone. Don’t let this video out you off I would have killed for this phone as a kid. Edit: it was good 2 years ago technology and changed massively.
I can see the pain in u bro I'm also using this good phone which is not a keypad,allows u to call, text,it supports WhatsApp it is 4g what else do we want 😂
Yeah I know. I already bought this but his critical comments really scares me. I mean I'm used to the slowness but the battery life is amazing and it is my first latest phone and the 4 cameras really excite me especially since I'm 16.I've never had a wide camera on a phone. Only wish it had a front flash. Other then that it is such a good phone. Love the fingerprint sensor too. Just hate how they got rid of the charger so you have to buy a black plug which looks bad with a black phone and a white wire that was already in the box.
@@SNPRNNJA probably not the best phone for gaming, you’d want something with a good chipset in it, ideally iPhones are the best for gaming In my opinion but they’re so overpriced, the games you can play on this phone it’s still good though it can handle a lot surprisingly but on most games you may have to reduce the graphic settings to low as it will struggle a tad, but still for the price it’s worth it dude especially if you’re 12 🙂
I bought the galaxy A13 about a month ago and on the first day I experienced lag on the device.After two software updates the device was perfectly smooth with no issues.
My dad uses this phone, you are right about a couple of things. The auto brightness is sluggish and it's not that cheap. But I tried it out, it is NOT too slow. I was patient using it, and TBH, lag was minimal, even when I played some games at low graphics settings. Maybe it is because you had a variant with a small RAM. It's an alright phone IMO.
Just hidden icons, like Whatsapp that you cannot drag onto your homescreen or the mass loss of photos and the terrible camera on this phone. You must be blind.
@@dude2538 actually he's just a troll just look at his "review" he posted and he goes on to say smartphones are overpriced and society doesn't need them. Pfft boomer
Overall an honest review from a tech standpoint, but seems like you've taken a negative stance, instead of taking it for what it is- a decent budget phone.
True, I got it and I'm impressed, After All it's The Apps the User installs that makes the Phone and with All new apps and updates this Phone goes as good as the last Samsung Note.
Purchasing a mobile phone has become a great challenge in this era. In this range, no matter which ever phone I watch Review, Reviewer says this phone's not good, check alternatives. When You check alternatives they are also not good then check their alternatives.... and so on So GMSArena What alternatives do you recommend?
I find much of these reviews by so called experts - annoying to say the least. These are the same people that are used to 'reviewing' top end Samsung, Apple or Google Pixel phones - and essentially ignore the price points and focusing just on the features. It's difficult to find on unbiased, objective opinion these days. For ~ $330 in Canada - that's not a bad price for this phone. Albeit - a low screen resolution by today's standards. But - 4 years of security updates at that price point, isn't bad at all.
You can certainly tell that they he is an avid flagship user so ofc he'll detect the smaller things that others may not notice but all in all I appreciate his heavy-handed, honest opinion. Manufacturers watch this stuff, they read the reviews to gain an understanding of popular opinion and use this data to project pricing etc, negativity drives the value of the phones down which for the consumer is great. I've recently left quite a poor review for the A73 on Samsungs own page, yesterday I checked to see if they allowed the post, lo and behold the review is up and they've dropped the price by $100!! It is now in fact a fairly decent price for this device in my personal opinion.
I would however also like to know what phone in the A13s price range would be suggested. That's DEFINITELY something they need to add to the end of their videos, a proper list of better alternatives if any exist, they know damn well so why not say!?
The people I know who have similar phones can't or won't get a better phone. Not everyone can buy a flagship or has the means to do so...if you can make calls and send texts it's fine for some people. There are better phones but then there's the Samsung brand which goes a long way. Still this does not detract from your honest review....thanks
Had mine out the box for a few hours now, definitely a step up from the A12 I was using... The camera is good that's essentially the only reason I bought it.
Great review. It's a great phone for the price €150 here in Ireland. Calls, messages, social, watching movies, cameras are pretty good. Can't go wrong for the money.
How the hell do you get your whatsapp icon onto the main screen, lol. Why have they hidden so many icons out of sight that you have to go through hell to open up them now. Whatsapp, use to be click onicon, open up. On a Samsung A13, you have to goto settings, then apps, scroll down to the whatsapp icon and then click OPEN. Since when did inefficiency start coming into the Samsung mobile phone products?. The camera on the phone is awful too.
Nothing works on this phone like on my ols HUAWEI. Cannot use the desktop version of whatsapp now because I cannot open whatsapp normally on the Samsung to go through the code process. You do the maths, why is this Samsung A13, actually really quite a poor phone.
Meh. It's 160ish. But you forgot to mention you'll probably have to buy a brand new charger because you dont already own the type and have to drop an extra 30 quid making it 200 minimum
I have the a13 4g for about 2 weeks now and its performing pretty good after installing some software updates. Games like cod mobile run fair looking at the chipset
I have the phone but haven't received any software updates yet to address performance. The phone has been very laggy. Mine came with Android 12 and march 2022 security patch.
I just bought one of these phones today a d so far its pretty good. All I need it for really is my many alarms, texting, calling, the odd TH-cam video and fb. The expendable memory on top of the odd 100 or so gb is pretty mint. Also as long as the camera is good than I'm.happy.
I've been using this phone for 1 year, it's servicial and hasn't given me any problems besides the mid performance. Although I know it's not really good, it's been my favorite phone yet, I've always had low end phones so this one gave me my first decent experience.
rn i'm using the samsung a13 and i got it for 130€ and its so good for its price the battery is good, you can play games and everything works perfect 😊
As a Galaxy A13 user, I find this phone to be excellent overall. While there’s a slight lag, it offers all the essential features you’d expect from a smartphone, including calling and texting. Considering its functionality, I’m quite pleased with the price.
Overall, its a great option but if you want a phone that's polished then Samsung Galaxy S21 is for you as it offers a delightful experience with impressive camera capabilities, powerful internals, and great battery life. While it may not be the absolute top-tier choice, its attractive price point makes it a solid option for many users. If you’re looking for premium features without breaking the bank, the Galaxy S21 won’t disappoint.
Lags and on my 2nd day using it the headset port not working anymore. No sound at all coming out. I took it to Samsung Service Center but they don't want to replace it even though it has a 7 days replacement period. They did reset it and it's working again. I was so stress about it and so I don't want to argue with them anymore about it and just let them be. But after almost a week it happened again and so they said they will keep the phone for 7 days and try fix it and monitor it. Phone still with them and they'll let me know when to pick it up. I don't recommend buying this phone.
It does feel sluggish when you have apps running in the background. I have the a13 4g 6gb/128gb I play fine with it. Just hate that there are no free earphones in the box anymore. 😒
Samsungs low end budget offerings continue to be thoroughly uncompetitive and kinda shit No ambient light sensor and laggy out of the box, what the heck
I've been a budget phone user for 6 years now and I'm currently using the Samsung Galaxy A10e which came out in the middle of 2019. Honestly I've been pleasantly surprised by the A10e, it's lasted me 3 years now and the battery is only starting to randomly lose charge. The only reason I'm hesitant to get the A13 is because I'm not a fan of big screens and 6x3 inches is pushing it.
Mad respect to you matthew, people nowadays would rather sell their kidneys just to get the updated iphone or other brand phones but you stick to your old phone to the very end. Same goes to me men im using a72 but its not quite old but im not hype to buy latest brand new phones as long as i can play games and watch series i want i will use it to the very end
Im the same use them till they die haha. Ive had my S9 PLUS since they came out..but im looking to buy a new one hence the reason I'm here at this video hubby just got one as he left his old one in the rain for 2hrs the other day..was still going but couldn't use the sim...it had a good run after being dropped multiple times, fell in bike oil, and left in the rain.. he had a S8.
@@haroldinodeleonskie1578 I'm a millennial but not a big phone guy. I am like Matthew and just use budget phones. I've never understood the need for a phone to be as powerful as a desktop. I have a desktop computer for games and don't want to spend $1000 for a phone to do what my desktop does better anyway. If it can call, text, and surf the web, I am good. I don't need 4k resolution or super-duper cameras.
@@Wowzersdude-k5c thanks for the info bro! Me too! I would love to spend all my money on consoles or gaming pc than on phone! Mainly use of phone is scrolling but pc or console is for time killing!
I've always liked Samsung as a company But removing chargers in the box including budget devices? This type of companies specially Apple shouldn't be supported. It's because people support these type of companies that's why they do such things and push their luck and profits
Even they removed, people will stupid enough to buy. Samsung and apple know their customer is stupid. I am glad to move out from Samsung, greedy companies have no limit until they learn the lesson.
For those people complaining the a13 is not that bad, make sure you specify which variant. Because the 5G version essentially is a different phone. As pointed out in the video it has a different chipset. It also has a different screen. ( Lower resolution but higher refresh rate.) Cameras may also be a little bit different.
People are so entitled these days. Expecting a premium experience on a really cheap phone. You get what you pay for. You pay for a a budget phone expect a budget experience. You pay for an expensive phone, expect a premium feel. Just appreciate you have a mini computer that can fit inside your pocket and can do pretty much everything it would take like 4 separate devices to do
I've had this phone for over a month, I switched to it from an iPhone 13, the screen on the Galaxy is much better, the colors are stunning, its structure is like the iPhone 11 Pro - very comfortable, I haven't encountered any problems with slowness, I have no idea what you're talking about and why you say things Incorrect and negatives, I suggest everyone to go buy the A13 and not invest one more unnecessary dollar!!!
These days I feel Samsung are not worthy enough to invest our hard earned money. Xiaomi in the same budget are performing far better. Though it's just a budget phone segment to these brands, it's our hard earned money and for many it's a dream to buy a mobile itself.
Yes i agree completely, for 200€ I bought Redmi note 10, which can do gaming, has great camera, has video stabilization, and is just fast. It offers a lot for the money
for what it costs, it's fantastic. i don't require a lot in a phone, so this seems to suit me perfectly. i've now decided i'll be getting one tomorrow.
wow immediate thumbs up to you guys for taking the same photographs with different phones. I watched the Xperia 10 iv review and it used the same location, so this gives a really good comparison for the two phones.
Hugely disappointing, considering that couple of years ago M21 was just 170 Euros and offered gorgeous AMOLED screen, 4K/30 video recording, long-lasting 6000mAh battery and very responsive experience. M21 and M31 were the best budget phones by "Samsung" and sadly their new offerings in the class are nowhere near their predecessors. Still using my M21, along with S10e and A52s.
@@Indrakusuma_a , S10e is my daily driver for calls, photos and 4K/60 videos (better video quality than S22, by the way). It's light and compact, fits perfectly fine in the pocket. M21 is my home Wi-Fi phone for Internet browsing due to the large battery and screen size. I bought the A52s as my new home Wi-Fi phone due to the large AMOLED screen with a small punch hole, as well as the stereo speakers. I don't use the A52s outside. The notch of the M21 is the sole thing I don't like in this phone. But I still love it.
the Samsung A series and M series are no budget phones if they go up to about $500 while they don't even perform that good. I have experience with the A series and M series, and i would recommend to buy an S serie for the price of an A serie for water resistance and, better frame rate and display and better camera's including 4k 60fps.
200 USD for a mobile with 60Hz LCD Screen, ExynAss 850 (Inferior than Mediatek G25) and outdated 2019 waterdrop notch is TRULY UNACCEPTABLE. What is the point of having 3 Major OS updates when the mobile can't even handle the pre-installed OS smoothly?
I'll be switching to xiaomi soon this Samsung phones just never fail to disappoint, I'm always getting aggravated at my phone at least 4 times a week where I have to stop myself from throwing It and I'm using a A32 4G model it isn't worth the money.
get the a33 5g. It is just a minor "bump-down" version of the a53 5g 120hz gets downgraded to 90hz 64mp gets downgraded to 48mp both uses the same chipset, ip67 rating, 5000mah battery, 25w charging
don't believe on crap internet people saying miui had alot of bugs or whatever, i have been using Mi 3, Mi 6, Mi 9 and currently Poco F3. never had any major issue..
The ones we're using me and my wife Them phones gave a lot got old so a13 would be a good change for us its affordable beautifull design It'll be a good start It'll be a surprise for her hopefully she'll like it
I thought I would look this phone up, after finding out you can get it for only 130 in the UK now. It's difficult to get anything decent for that money, so this is ok, if you don't have much cash.
Using *A13 right now(4GB, 64GB).* For its price, it's a really great phone. I'm currently using Android 14 with OneUI 6 and it's super smooth. I don't know why, but *the phone runs faster when something like WhatsApp or TH-cam running in the background.* Else, it's a bit laggy sometimes. Has great battery, beautiful display and an excellent camera. I love it 🤩
I have been using this phone since around August of 2022 and it is not good. It keeps lagging and is often unresponsive, even when I try to restart it. It is so frustrating and I regret buying it. The lag happens every other day for seemingly no reason at all. I do not recommend this at all, get a different phone instead.
the hardware quality of the phone is excellent and the phone is very durable. It is a very reliable device and user friendly too. It is an investment which pays off in long term. Its designed for matured people who do not want performance but trouble free long service from the phone. I had M51 which was faster but i had to throw it just within 2nd year due to poor hardware quality.
Its an ok phone for daily use , its a bit sluggish sometimes though, good for the price . Ive had mine for a year now . Camera however is pretty crappy imo.
Hello there can you please let me know what is the best mobile phone 📱 to buy the Samsung galaxy a13 or the Nokia x10 i really appreciate your reply the Samsung galaxy a13 or the Nokia x10 what one should I buy and what phone is best thanks for sharing this fantastic video with us
I use this phone its an amazing phone and it very affordable n its kinda not bad with playing games wont let this review get to my head but thnx for trying
I'm there will be custom ROMs available for this device since it's so sluggish, once flashed with a bloatware free version of Android it should run perfectly fine with it's 4GB ram and 6x 2.0Ghz CPUs.. The lack of image stabilizing for video is just sad though, why? They could easily have introduced a simple crop2stabilize option although this can probably achieved through other apps so not a major train-smash - provided they don't limit the resolution for 3rd party apps like on my now broken A70 ... Sneaky buggers!!
I brought my A13 from a retail shop called Argos sim free in the UK for £230 few days ago. My phone contract company wanted me to pay more for my contract if I wanted a new phone; I said no way. They wanted £35 to £45 per month for a new contract. The A13 is good phone for the money. I still prefer my Samsung A40 which lasted four years..
This one is pretty cheap, but honestly the material on this device is amazing. With the work I do I notice I drop my phone down a lot. The screen suffered, but repair was easy. It does have slow memory too.
£179 for me here Poor camera but quick to process Great UI, got all the basics and more I like the side button that allows for the notification panel to slide up/down by sliding the button itself Fingerprint Id on power/side button Laggy, cannot hold larger apps Mid screen I don't like the eye comfort shield/blue light filter Headphone jack! I got this as a college student wanting to do well in exams by spending less time on their phone. Seeing as I'm writing this at 2AM I may have failed. The day I got it I complained that it was too good actually. I don't want a fancy phone at all. I have to say is at least it's not an iPhone 🤣
I can see the lag in UI scrolling. The resolution way too high for mali g52mc1, it is a shame, should be using 720x1600. The redmi 9c is way smoother in the review.
My Samsung A13 5G received the February 2024 software update only to become way slower and the battery charge lasts half the time it used to last before this update. Question: is Samsung doing it to push users to buy a newer Samsung phone? To me it looks like Samsung is tricking us to buy a new phone. I was happy with Samsung phones before, I am not anymore. Actually, I am thinking my next phone will not be Samsung, definitely.
@Kurt M. Just bought one, not had time to play with cameras, but @ £119 in Vodafone I could not refuse. Unlocked too. Thank you for the reply, I will check the camera out.
hello friend, you just described a budget phone , we get what we pay , I have the 13 5g it preforms better than the 13 4g , resolution on the 4g is a lot better, pictures to ,mi wife has the a12 and it's slow compared with the a13 5g ,not much but still ,both doesn't respond to the Auto light when I need to , blessings my friend,I like you're videos .
Samsung A Series Devices are never really good value. It's cause Samsung wants to make sure their Budget Phones don't cut into their Flagship Phones Sales. It's a naive way of thinking to be honest
@@typhoon_8086 It’s not naive mate, it depends what people are looking for in a phone. Not everyone is interested in the latest and greatest, and the upper A range are good devices, without some of the bells and whistles of the S and older Note series.
@@Gary0557 but for the price of the A73, you can buy a proper S Series flagship for around the same price. This pricing and value plan of the A-Series is just not practical and efficient.
I've had mine since 2022. Just recently alot of features have disappeared. I can no longer edit if other people read my text,or is typing. My phone also no longer sends videos and sends photos in low quality. I havent switched any plan or done any change .Does anyone know what has happened?
Its a really good phone for its price, you get a decent camera but it can't be compared to high end phones cameras. It runs every software you'd need in a phone, the colours and display is great. And its budget. If you're trying to take very good pictures or videos, get an expensive iphone. If you are a hardcore gamer, get like an ROG game. If you want a good phone without spending over $300, this is the best phone.

But after almost a week it happened again and so they said they will keep the phone for 7 days and try fix it and monitor it. Phone still with them and they'll let me know when to pick it up. I don't recommend buying this phone.

I just bought it yesterday I don't believe everything you say about these phone ,most of sluggish are from app updates .for me it works perfect
have you bought 4g or 5g..?
i am considering to buy the 4g android 12, 128 GB ROM one..
How about that camera performance??
It does feel sluggish when you have apps running in the background. I have the a13 4g 6gb/128gb
I play fine with it. Just hate that there are no free earphones in the box anymore. 😒
Putting the millennial nit-picking to one side, these phones are unbelievable for the money.
Samsungs low end budget offerings continue to be thoroughly uncompetitive and kinda shit
No ambient light sensor and laggy out of the box, what the heck
I bought the a13 5g yesterday so far its works just fine I like it
If it f ups I'll let ya know
I just bought it and I really like it. Its a basic phone which is just what I need but my old LG phone seems to have a better color resolution.
i am using from 2 months its a really good phone high end phone with less price recommed to buy
I've been a budget phone user for 6 years now and I'm currently using the Samsung Galaxy A10e which came out in the middle of 2019. Honestly I've been pleasantly surprised by the A10e, it's lasted me 3 years now and the battery is only starting to randomly lose charge. The only reason I'm hesitant to get the A13 is because I'm not a fan of big screens and 6x3 inches is pushing it.
Mad respect to you matthew, people nowadays would rather sell their kidneys just to get the updated iphone or other brand phones but you stick to your old phone to the very end. Same goes to me men im using a72 but its not quite old but im not hype to buy latest brand new phones as long as i can play games and watch series i want i will use it to the very end
Im the same use them till they die haha. Ive had my S9 PLUS since they came out..but im looking to buy a new one hence the reason I'm here at this video hubby just got one as he left his old one in the rain for 2hrs the other day..was still going but couldn't use the sim...it had a good run after being dropped multiple times, fell in bike oil, and left in the rain.. he had a S8.

@@haroldinodeleonskie1578 I'm a millennial but not a big phone guy. I am like Matthew and just use budget phones. I've never understood the need for a phone to be as powerful as a desktop. I have a desktop computer for games and don't want to spend $1000 for a phone to do what my desktop does better anyway. If it can call, text, and surf the web, I am good. I don't need 4k resolution or super-duper cameras.
@@Wowzersdude-k5c thanks for the info bro! Me too! I would love to spend all my money on consoles or gaming pc than on phone! Mainly use of phone is scrolling but pc or console is for time killing!
I've always liked Samsung as a company
But removing chargers in the box including budget devices? This type of companies specially Apple shouldn't be supported. It's because people support these type of companies that's why they do such things and push their luck and profits
Even they removed, people will stupid enough to buy. Samsung and apple know their customer is stupid.
I am glad to move out from Samsung, greedy companies have no limit until they learn the lesson.
I've got the adapter from the box
Profits? Where do you think the money comes from to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for R&D?
For those people complaining the a13 is not that bad, make sure you specify which variant.
Because the 5G version essentially is a different phone. As pointed out in the video it has a different chipset.
It also has a different screen. ( Lower resolution but higher refresh rate.)
Cameras may also be a little bit different.
I just bought one, A13 5g, for $100, so far it's not too bad. Headphone jack and expandable storage is great.
*You sure it's only 100 US Dollar???*
@@GeraldCrossOfficial I mean you can literally get them for free if you switch to AT&T. I think like 4 or 5 of them prolly
Yes
People are so entitled these days. Expecting a premium experience on a really cheap phone. You get what you pay for. You pay for a a budget phone expect a budget experience. You pay for an expensive phone, expect a premium feel. Just appreciate you have a mini computer that can fit inside your pocket and can do pretty much everything it would take like 4 separate devices to do
I've had this phone for over a month, I switched to it from an iPhone 13, the screen on the Galaxy is much better, the colors are stunning, its structure is like the iPhone 11 Pro - very comfortable, I haven't encountered any problems with slowness, I have no idea what you're talking about and why you say things Incorrect and negatives, I suggest everyone to go buy the A13 and not invest one more unnecessary dollar!!!
No adapter in the box for a budget phone? Samsung's pushing their luck
Samsung isn't making good phones anymore there phones are about the same price as apple its like we might as well go the apple route.
Choose Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE. (just a suggestion, though)
@@KnightRider82 s22 and s22 ultra seem good. Their lower end phones are pretty rubbish

@Eli Harwood True
And much more expensive
These days I feel Samsung are not worthy enough to invest our hard earned money. Xiaomi in the same budget are performing far better. Though it's just a budget phone segment to these brands, it's our hard earned money and for many it's a dream to buy a mobile itself.
You are 1000% right, I do agree.
Yes i agree completely, for 200€ I bought Redmi note 10, which can do gaming, has great camera, has video stabilization, and is just fast. It offers a lot for the money
Really
But remember to not update your Xiaomi mobile. Otherwise, Xiaomi will ruin your mobile.
@@simpmaster7995 bro ur right, after i update my redmi note 9, now its fcking deadboot
for what it costs, it's fantastic. i don't require a lot in a phone, so this seems to suit me perfectly. i've now decided i'll be getting one tomorrow.
wow immediate thumbs up to you guys for taking the same photographs with different phones. I watched the Xperia 10 iv review and it used the same location, so this gives a really good comparison for the two phones.
The Fact I'm watching ThIs on the same Samsung A13💀
I have been using it for some time now yes sometimes it lags and when i play games on it like pubg it runs prety good i would recomend it
Hugely disappointing, considering that couple of years ago M21 was just 170 Euros and offered gorgeous AMOLED screen, 4K/30 video recording, long-lasting 6000mAh battery and very responsive experience. M21 and M31 were the best budget phones by "Samsung" and sadly their new offerings in the class are nowhere near their predecessors. Still using my M21, along with S10e and A52s.
Why are you using 3 phones btw?_?
@@Indrakusuma_a , S10e is my daily driver for calls, photos and 4K/60 videos (better video quality than S22, by the way). It's light and compact, fits perfectly fine in the pocket.
M21 is my home Wi-Fi phone for Internet browsing due to the large battery and screen size.
I bought the A52s as my new home Wi-Fi phone due to the large AMOLED screen with a small punch hole, as well as the stereo speakers. I don't use the A52s outside. The notch of the M21 is the sole thing I don't like in this phone. But I still love it.
In M31/M21 Samsung used very cheap low quality AMOLED screens.As a result M31/M21 displays were dying in mass.
Search,'M31/M21 Screen discolouration'.
@@simpmaster7995 , my M21 (EU model) is like brand new despite the heavy use. The AMOLED screen is perfectly colourful.
@@AutomotiveCNC I am talking about Samsung mobiles sold in India and Bangladesh.
the Samsung A series and M series are no budget phones if they go up to about $500 while they don't even perform that good. I have experience with the A series and M series, and i would recommend to buy an S serie for the price of an A serie for water resistance and, better frame rate and display and better camera's including 4k 60fps.
Yea the a series is something that comes out a rectum.
@Xavier Fuchs s10e!? In 2021!? Wth. Anyways, the S10e provides a better chipset than all Samsung A and M series
200 USD for a mobile with 60Hz LCD Screen, ExynAss 850 (Inferior than Mediatek G25) and outdated 2019 waterdrop notch is TRULY UNACCEPTABLE.
What is the point of having 3 Major OS updates when the mobile can't even handle the pre-installed OS smoothly?

Better than an iphone 15 pro, it has a headphone jack.

I'll be switching to xiaomi soon this Samsung phones just never fail to disappoint, I'm always getting aggravated at my phone at least 4 times a week where I have to stop myself from throwing It and I'm using a A32 4G model it isn't worth the money.
get the a33 5g. It is just a minor "bump-down" version of the a53 5g

As a long-time user of Xiaomi, I recommend you get one of the following:
Poco F3, Mi 11T/Pro or Xiaomi 12/X.
Great phones.
don't believe on crap internet people saying miui had alot of bugs or whatever, i have been using Mi 3, Mi 6, Mi 9 and currently Poco F3. never had any major issue..
What about the A52 5G?
The ones we're using me and my wife
Them phones gave a lot got old so a13 would be a good change for us its affordable beautifull design
It'll be a good start
It'll be a surprise for her hopefully she'll like it
Bro my old phone was an LG that was atleast 5yrs old so this is quite the upgrade.
I have an LG phone I'm waiting till saturday to get one of these 💀
bro bro
I got this for my nephew and he loved it. He's 13. PERFECT.
I thought I would look this phone up, after finding out you can get it for only 130 in the UK now. It's difficult to get anything decent for that money, so this is ok, if you don't have much cash.
Using *A13 right now(4GB, 64GB).* For its price, it's a really great phone. I'm currently using Android 14 with OneUI 6 and it's super smooth. I don't know why, but *the phone runs faster when something like WhatsApp or TH-cam running in the background.* Else, it's a bit laggy sometimes. Has great battery, beautiful display and an excellent camera. I love it 🤩

This phone should have gotten a an extra plus rating ... just for NOT having bixby 🤣
I have been using this phone since around August of 2022 and it is not good. It keeps lagging and is often unresponsive, even when I try to restart it. It is so frustrating and I regret buying it. The lag happens every other day for seemingly no reason at all. I do not recommend this at all, get a different phone instead.
no charger in a budget phone thats shame for samsung
You buy first smartphone in your life????,
@@debojitdhar502 what kind of question is that
the hardware quality of the phone is excellent and the phone is very durable. It is a very reliable device and user friendly too. It is an investment which pays off in long term. Its designed for matured people who do not want performance but trouble free long service from the phone. I had M51 which was faster but i had to throw it just within 2nd year due to poor hardware quality.
I can't justify the s22 s21 or s20 and I like the aux port for long motorcycle rides, wired ear plugs are great!!
Nice preview! And what game is that?
Is this samsung a13 is good for gaming?
Its an ok phone for daily use , its a bit sluggish sometimes though, good for the price . Ive had mine for a year now . Camera however is pretty crappy imo.

My parents just bought this to me for my birthday
Does Samsung A13 has "Secure Folder" and "Samsung Pass" ?
I just bought it has 4GB ram and 128 internal memory and it's only 20$ month it's not that expensive
So what are the alternatives???
I'm there will be custom ROMs available for this device since it's so sluggish, once flashed with a bloatware free version of Android it should run perfectly fine with it's 4GB ram and 6x 2.0Ghz CPUs.. The lack of image stabilizing for video is just sad though, why? They could easily have introduced a simple crop2stabilize option although this can probably achieved through other apps so not a major train-smash - provided they don't limit the resolution for 3rd party apps like on my now broken A70 ... Sneaky buggers!!
I brought my A13 from a retail shop called Argos sim free in the UK for £230 few days ago. My phone contract company wanted me to pay more for my contract if I wanted a new phone; I said no way. They wanted £35 to £45 per month for a new contract. The A13 is good phone for the money. I still prefer my Samsung A40 which lasted four years..

I got this as a college student wanting to do well in exams by spending less time on their phone. Seeing as I'm writing this at 2AM I may have failed. The day I got it I complained that it was too good actually. I don't want a fancy phone at all. I have to say is at least it's not an iPhone 🤣
I can see the lag in UI scrolling. The resolution way too high for mali g52mc1, it is a shame, should be using 720x1600. The redmi 9c is way smoother in the review.
Hello. Is it safe to update the software???
Is this phone better than an iPhone 6 because I have an iPhone 6
My Samsung A13 5G received the February 2024 software update only to become way slower and the battery charge lasts half the time it used to last before this update. Question: is Samsung doing it to push users to buy a newer Samsung phone? To me it looks like Samsung is tricking us to buy a new phone. I was happy with Samsung phones before, I am not anymore. Actually, I am thinking my next phone will not be Samsung, definitely.
A13 or Moto g62 what would you recommend? Are they both reliable?
Probably the G62.

Pretty much panned then this A device. Unusual because they're normally good value.
Samsung A Series Devices are never really good value. It's cause Samsung wants to make sure their Budget Phones don't cut into their Flagship Phones Sales. It's a naive way of thinking to be honest

Its a really good phone for its price, you get a decent camera but it can't be compared to high end phones cameras. It runs every software you'd need in a phone, the colours and display is great. And its budget. If you're trying to take very good pictures or videos, get an expensive iphone. If you are a hardcore gamer, get like an ROG game. If you want a good phone without spending over $300, this is the best phone.
