Most major tech channels aren’t covering this phone. I’m an iPhone user but I do appreciate how well android has evolved the last few years. I am considering the a13 5g as my backup phone to view content on and just game or do social media on. I like all that Samsung managed to include on this device for its price. I had a Moto G Power 2020 and while it was an ok device, it left a lot to be desired. The phone part of that smartphone was awful and I couldn’t hear calls on it, the processor was sometimes sluggish, and overall it wasn’t a good value since it only got 1 android update on it. This a13 is promised to get at least 2 OS updates and 3 or 4 security patch updates. It a much better deal and from all I’ve watched and read about Samsung phones, they all have strong phone reception which is a must for me. Doesn’t matter how smart the phone is, it isn’t complete without the phone part of it functioning correctly.
I'm considering this phone as a backup phone too. I have an iPhone 12 Pro as my daily use phone, but like to keep an Android phone around as well. I currently have Pixel 3 which is still working great, but Google has stopped supporting it with security updates. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a phone that I won't be using a lot, and the price is right for this phone. Sure, there are compromises, but at this price they can be overlooked.
@@egreene59 android devices have come a long way in the last few years. I even briefly considered getting the Pixel 4XL when it was brand new as my primary phone. But it’s hard to compare to an iPhone so I have the XR as my primary phone now. Android does have certain features that iPhones do not and the budget segment for android just keeps offering tons of features for little money. This a13 5g seems to be close to the top of that list.
@@DWtechfan I was an Android user for several years. I've owned phones by Samsung, Sony and LG, as well as Samsung tablets. I liked all of them. I made the switch to iPhones in 2017 with the iPhone 8 Plus. No particular reason why. I just wanted to give iPhones a try. I'm now on my third iPhone (12 Pro). I own two Mac computers and an iPad Pro, and really like how the devices work together. I still enjoy dabbling in the Android world, however, which is why I've owned a Pixel 2, and now a Pixel 3. The Pixel 3 has been a great phone. It's still working as well as it did the day I bought it, but now that Google gave it its last security update in January, I have to think about getting another Android phone. It's a shame, really, to have to part with a perfectly good phone. Apple phones are pricey, but they support their phones way longer than most Android manufacturers. I could get the Pixel 6, which supposedly will be supported for up to 5 years, but it costs way more than I want to spend on a phone I'll only use as a backup. That's why the A13 appeals to me. The price is low, and the compromises can be overlooked at this price. 720p screen resolution, for example, is no big deal to me. I can live with that, especially for a phone that costs $249 (actually $199 if I trade in my Pixel 3). Plus it will get at least one OS update and 4 years of security updates. That's reasonable for a budget Android phone.
@@egreene59 it’s kinda the same deal here. I got a brand new iPhone 6S Plus and have been firmly invested in iPhones since then. I briefly owned the 2020 Moto G Power because I wanted a long lasting battery but I found out pretty quickly that Motorola does excellent on battery life and that’s about it. The Snapdragon 665 on it started out strong but winded up lagging a lot towards the end and the call quality outright sucked. It was just ok on speaker phone but if I used it at work as a regular to the ear phone, it sounded awful. Then I noticed firsthand that Motorola is very slow to update just the security patches and usually only get maybe one or two OS updates total. Before I ever owned an iPhone, I bought cheap android phones and had numerous brands that were very unstable and had issues such as overheating and constant crashing and I will say Motorola was much better. iOS is still the superior brand of smartphone just on quality build, OS updates, and general reliability. That said, there are many things I miss from android and it’s just little things that android gets right that iPhone still doesn’t do. Moto actions were great and had the chop motion for the flashlight, twist to activate camera mode, flip over for do not disturb, and an awesome feature where you could use volume up/down to skip tracks while playing music. Another android feature I miss is when you set an alarm, it automatically displays how long in hours/minutes/seconds you have until it goes off which is a minor thing but it’s something you miss once you have it. Android also has the always on display which iPhone has never had in any phones. I like the pixel phones from Google but those get very mixed reviews and my brother has owned many phones and had issues with his pixels. Samsung seems to be the best android on the market and they get many great reviews for call quality which is something most phones forget. They give you the smart part but never deliver the phone part of “smartphone”. Still, iPhone is the king of phones because they get so many updates and offer quality for many years. Android has also come a long way since it began and they get many things right. I’m still heavily considering the a13 5g because it’s a great android device that seems to offer much value for its price.
@@DWtechfan I ended up getting the A32 5G. It was only slightly more expensive, and has a bit better build quality, to include Gorilla Glass for the screen. But, I think I would have been satisfied with the A13.
I swear, I just watched a Samsung ad. This was so informative, as I'm having an A13 shipped to me by a friend who bought it when it first released (she converted to Apple), so I wanted to get to know the A13 a little better. When she first bought it, it was VERY lightly used she said, and only really used it for taking photos. I'm very excited with these specs, AMAZING and INFORMATIVE video! You just earned a sub :)
Had this model for a month now. I really enjoy it, especially as it is an upgrade to my 2018 Galaxy J3 Luna. Love the battery life, although really was disappointed by not having a wall wart included with it, as this cord is USB C on both ends, and I had to go back for a way to charge it. The fast charge is amazing. Cameras, they are all upgrades as compared to my old J3 Luna, but I can see how people who upgrade more often might be disappointed.
UPDATE: 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.
I got the boost version of the A13 5G and it's pretty good. I had to go through the settings and turned off Battery Optimization for almost every app service or feature on it. Everything works better now even though the battery lasts less but finger print reading, navigation gestures, wifi connectivity, everything runs amazing now. You're able to make it so that apps can use RAM unchecked which is good for large, 3D, or game applications as well. The best game I think to play that uses the 90hz display to it's full advantage is Critical Ops which has a setting to make it so it'll try to reach 90fps. Overall I think it's a complete budget friendly phone that lives up to expectations.
@@itznever887 it's in the settings under battery and device care. You go to memory it'll scan what's going on and after you click on excluded apps and you add all the apps you want excluded from their ram usage being reset. I suggest adding all the apps it allows you for some reason the phone works better like this. Another thing you can do is go to the display tab then full screen apps and set every app to show the camera cutout. If it's only a few or one or when you download a new app that's not set to show the camera cutout it'll feel like the phone doesn't sit well with the display. It's weird but trust me.
@@itznever887 another handful of tips are to keep your apps updated the phone starts lagging when there's an update pending. Install Google files and let it scans for whatever junk files need to be deleted the phone physically feels lighter after it's crazy. Enable developer options and enabling both Force x4 MSAA and Disable HW Overlays it makes it so that the processors made for graphics are in fact used for graphics and the other ones a filter to make things look sharper. Enabling Graphic Drivers and setting every apps graphics drivers to system graphics rather than default. I also recommend setting the home screen so every app is on the homescreen and theres no app drawer. The last one I think is to restart your phone every few hours to let the processors reset and to enable the Force x4 MSAA/Disable HW Overlays again every time you turn it back on. It's a really good phone imo.
@@itznever887 another others tips are that a lot of things are turned on by default like NFC and Scanning for Nearby Device or something like that. You get edit your buttons order at the top and see what's on by setting them all on your notifications panel. You should also make a Samsung account and install Game Plugins. It's a set of apps to help you make your games run better and get information like fps and CPU/GPU/RAM usage. You can also go to settings then apps and set whatever app you want to use battery either unrestricted/optimized/restricted. I've personally set every app to use battery unrestricted which makes it perform better even though it probably doesn't last as longer but I can't notice I think it runs great.
I did the developer options but I recently got his phone so I dont know if the memory will go up if I exclude the apps. And I think I'll change some more later on if you phone gets lagyy .only one particular game that lags

I just bought this phone last week. So far I like it. I was thrown off when it did not come with a plug. Lucky my daughter has what I needed. I borrowed her plug until I bought one at a Walmart.
I got the samsung galaxy a13 5g for Christmas and I love it, it's a lot better than my old phone I got my samsung galaxy a13 5g for $122 I got it from Walmart
Loved your video and the tips. I have had this phone 8 months and have been wanting to move many of my apps to my SD card - this is the only video I've seen that tells how to do that. THANK YOU. I wish I had know this on my previous Samsung phone...I really needed my internal storage but couldn't get the apps on the card. Thank you !!
But it has a Mediocre 720p Screen compared to the 1080p 120hz screens of its competition, No Ultra Wide Camera Lens, Outdated Notch Design, a 13MP and 64MP Main Lens while it’s Competition boasts a 108MP Lens, and a $70 Price Increase. Samsung is literally the Worst Value for the Money
@@typhoon_8086 lmfao wait what do you mean the a13 is suppose to compete with a FHD 120hz phone? The a13 is a budget phone to the core and FHD @ 120hz doesn't sound like it could be budget friendly?
@@manuel12ox the A13 5G we have in the U.S. costs $250 and it has a 90hz 720p Screen. And Motorola has their Moto G Stylus 2022 for $258-$268 and it has a 1080p 90hz Display. So a 1080p 120hz Display is possible, but Samsung refuses to offer the Best Value for their phones
@@typhoon_8086 i'm buying this phone for 120$. its not gonna have a 1080p 120hz screen. and that's fine, i don't need 1080p anyway because my visions kinda bad lmao.
I just bought one. wanted the motorola 5G one ace but nobody has the version in stock around here or online. 1 week in I'm pretty happy with this phone.
What gets me samsung is getting more cheaper not to include the wall adapter.. when any company cuts back on their products not including something that use to be included when buying something doesnt make me happy it turns me away from companies who pull this on the consumer.. I am leaning more towards the One+Nordic N20 phone that includes 33watt fast wall charger & more it offers over the samsung A13.
hello, i just brought the A53 and i hate it!!! im not that tech savy, the phone does crazy things when im trying to do other things so im returning for the A135g, this video was helpful, i even called samsung about what Kevin said about the charger, they said my old galaxy s9 charger would work in the A13 so thats good, i brought an A13 before but it was damaged after troubleshooting with samsung the rep said take it back , i did and got the sucky A53 so now im going to go back and try A13 again after seeing this video, im not a gamer or movie watcher on my cell mostly talk and txt an internet is all i need so im hoping i get a good one now, thx kevin:)
Im glad to know its battery lifes good. Just ordered this in the USA. MY former Galaxy quite charging. Then i got a moto g6 and it is now lagging and wont connect to my apps. Or is very slow. Im enjoying this review a lot.
would this phone do good long term. Like over a few years would it last good. I want a cheaper phone like this but I dont want to have to keep buying heaps of cheap ones if a more expensive one would last longer and better.
Compare it with A21. They are the same price . The A13 is bad comparing toprice .you can get A32 which is better with its screen an many features with the same price .
A Samsung rep told me the Samsung A13 needs a ( 25W Super Fast Charger with Usb-PD). He told me Samsung model # TA800NBEGUS was good for my phone, and would provide long battery life. It charges fast. Just make sure to enable (Fast Charging) in top dropdown menu in power saving icon,and select details then backspace and you will be at battery menu, then go down to (more battery settings) and turn on (Fast Charging). There may be a shortcut to do this, but i haven't had my A13 phone long enough to tell you.
Camera is still better than my iPhone 13 pro max, but we just ordered this for our 11 for his birthday so I doubt he’ll use the camera. The gaming and battery life is what we really got it for. Thanks for this review
So a new out-of-the -box A-13 can't be charged until you run around town trying to find the correct adaptor... and how many adaptors do you have to buy if you've got multiple charging stations/locations? What brilliant mind in the Samsung marketing dept. thought this one out? (A pair of 2000 year old chopsticks still work today... KISS/Keep It Simple Stuipid).
The Samsung A13 5G is a mediocre upgrade from the A12 for the $70 price increase. The similarly priced $250-$350 Poco X4 Pro 5G has a 1080p 120hz AMOLED Screen, a fairly new Mid-Range SnapDragon 695 5G Processor, a Punch Hole Notch, Glass Back and Premium Construction, 108MP Camera Lens with an Ultra-Wide Lens, and a Unique Design.
@@lordludicrous3781 true, but the hardware for the price is a outstanding. It really shows how far Xiaomi can go with putting flagship level components in a Budget/Mid-Range device, while Samsung just tries to make a "$250 budget" phone with features found in $100-$150. Not a very competitive move by Samsung
@@lordludicrous3781 I guess I'm skeptical because Samsung has been a mess in the budget and mid-range categories. Like for example, they stopped selling their popular Tab S6 Lite when there was no Tablet to replace it, and they offered an Ultra-Wide Camera on the 4G A13 but not the more expensive 5G A13. Not to mention using the same Exynos Processor in both their $300+ A33 and $450 A53, which means that the A53 is not a good value since it has the same Chipset as the A33 but is more expensive.
Also consider the A15 or A05s. My A13 is holding up strong in terms of battery life but it has slowed down a bit. A14 will give you an extra year of software updates and security patches.
Kevin, I don't do gaming at all. I do just a little internet and GPS and text and talk. I was looking to buy this phone, but is there something out there that may be cheaper and just as good, but not looking for gaming at all.
Compared to the iPhone 7 Plus which one is better. Might get this, my 7 has many problems like having only 1 screw and bad battery life. But I don't know which is better. Probably the A13 but lemme know what u guys think.
I got recently A13, and while its nice phone, lack of charger is problematic. It came with cabel that have two C port usbs, but no standard USB, that was bummer because my old phone Redmi Note 7 had normal cabel that had one C-usb port and one standard usb and of course came with charger. So in order to charge the phone, i got to invest additionaly and to get a universal C-usb charger (nope i dont inted to get original samsung one), but since its on wrranty i would probably return it and get Redmi Note 11 instead.
That is in-depth review of Samsung A13 5G. How can I make the two sim cards functional in Samsung A13 5G, since it does not have sim management, have sim toolkit? Please, help me out on this.
Likely one them not hook up . As at&t and verzion had trouble getting SIM cards to work. Yes I pick up basic 5G on verzion. But not all there 5G as the a13 doesn't support all verzion signal antanas
Got mine from Spectrum. Pure rubbish. They don't know how to fix it because they're incompetent. Samsung expects me to drive 20 miles across a metropolitan area to have it diagnosed. Doesn't work on T-Mobile, either. Wifi disconnects. 4G and 5G won't connect with -60dbm signal. Had it 30 days. Not the most expensive doorstop ever, but close.
Great review. I need your opinion or anyone's opinion. I currently have an A20. But I need to get a new phone. I'm going to buy used( or in the case of this pre-owned) . So I could get this with a Tab A 8" tablet for $430 CAD, an S20FE for $400 or an A52(8 GB RAM 128 GB storage) for $370. I'm torn between the 3 even though there is also the option of an A32 in that price range or lower. There are some options I believe for this device in the 200 range along with the A32. I've never owned a flagship other than an S7 that was old when I had it. Anyway....what are your thoughts? I'm going back and forth. The bundle deal of this device and the tablet has me favoring that. I know any if these devices is quite a step up from my A20. I'm not a huge mobile gamer, don't take as many photos as I would like and like most, I use for most everyday things. Storage is very important, battery life, camera is as I would like to take good photos when I have the opportunity and something that is faster and can handle multi-tasking way better than my A20 . Sorry for the long paragraph.
I have the a20 and a13 . The A20 has a better screen and looks way nicer and the carmeas are better. But the A13 5g has morn rom and more memory and plus it pickups 5G
So far I'm enjoying the phone. Just not happy about the gallery. After I create an album to move my pictures there to make it look more organized and neat. It stays in the pictures side. That means it's storying in two places where as other phones delete off the picture side once safely stored in the album of choice. Am I doing something wrong perhaps
@@yvonnenaidoo7324 hi it will always show in your gallery as that displays all photos of the phone and sd card, but it shouldn't double up on the photos if you move to album, if you copy to album it will create another copy of the photos and double up in the gallary
I am confused about the alert for the text messages when I turn on the alerts everything goes on email and other news information when really all I want to get is an alert for my text how do I do that? I really like the way you explain things
Was given this and still learning it. Downloaded a video onto sd card by way of screen xrecorder app but having trouble getting it to play..any ideas??
the only downside is that it IS kind bad at games.. and thats it. otherwise you get a HUGE 1080p screen with Goriila Glass 5. long battery life, decent SoC for media and browsing needs and its freaking SAMSUNG not some chinese brand.
Streaming with this phone using the front cam is HORRIBLE! Color is dull, dead and feels like a filter is stuck on! If anyone knows how to fix this (IF it can be fixed?) please let me know asap

I got the samsung galaxy a13 5g for Christmas and I love it, it's a lot better than my old phone I got my samsung galaxy a13 5g for $122 I got it from Walmart
Great review, it's for me, also....your a great speaker! keep it up!
Loved your video and the tips. I have had this phone 8 months and have been wanting to move many of my apps to my SD card - this is the only video I've seen that tells how to do that. THANK YOU. I wish I had know this on my previous Samsung phone...I really needed my internal storage but couldn't get the apps on the card. Thank you !!
Dope video Kevin! It seems like Samsung is killing it this year with the 90hrtz refresh and amazing battery life!
But it has a Mediocre 720p Screen compared to the 1080p 120hz screens of its competition, No Ultra Wide Camera Lens, Outdated Notch Design, a 13MP and 64MP Main Lens while it’s Competition boasts a 108MP Lens, and a $70 Price Increase. Samsung is literally the Worst Value for the Money
@@typhoon_8086 lmfao wait what do you mean the a13 is suppose to compete with a FHD 120hz phone? The a13 is a budget phone to the core and FHD @ 120hz doesn't sound like it could be budget friendly?
@@manuel12ox the A13 5G we have in the U.S. costs $250 and it has a 90hz 720p Screen. And Motorola has their Moto G Stylus 2022 for $258-$268 and it has a 1080p 90hz Display. So a 1080p 120hz Display is possible, but Samsung refuses to offer the Best Value for their phones
@@typhoon_8086 damn I just checked and you can get a moto g stylus for basically $200 on their website that does suck lmao
@@typhoon_8086 i'm buying this phone for 120$. its not gonna have a 1080p 120hz screen. and that's fine, i don't need 1080p anyway because my visions kinda bad lmao.
I got this phone for Christmas right now I have a12 so I'm getting a13 as a upgrade xx
I just bought one. wanted the motorola 5G one ace but nobody has the version in stock around here or online. 1 week in I'm pretty happy with this phone.
Thanks man for Force allow apps on external tip, can't thank you enough
I'm getting a A13 5G next week. I'm going from A10e to A13
Hi Kevin I just bought one yesterday I love it just trying to get used to it but I'm learning a lot watching you thank you.
I was upset about the adapter for I had to run around town looking for such a specific adapter but I like it so far.
Yes. I am also looking for such adapter....😓
4:15 Dark mode does not save any power if the panel is any form of LCD.
Sir you are correct. I didn’t catch that mistake in the edit.
@@KevinRiazi I still use it though because it is more comforting on the eyes.
Bravo! Very well articulated and easy to understand. Covers a lot of complicated territory with great clarity and efficiency.
I was wondering what's up for the channel. Very detailed review 👌
Thank you 😊
What gets me samsung is getting more cheaper not to include the wall adapter.. when any company cuts back on their products not including something that use to be included when buying something doesnt make me happy it turns me away from companies who pull this on the consumer.. I am leaning more towards the One+Nordic N20 phone that includes 33watt fast wall charger & more it offers over the samsung A13.
hello, i just brought the A53 and i hate it!!! im not that tech savy, the phone does crazy things when im trying to do other things so im returning for the A135g, this video was helpful, i even called samsung about what Kevin said about the charger, they said my old galaxy s9 charger would work in the A13 so thats good, i brought an A13 before but it was damaged after troubleshooting with samsung the rep said take it back , i did and got the sucky A53 so now im going to go back and try A13 again after seeing this video, im not a gamer or movie watcher on my cell mostly talk and txt an internet is all i need so im hoping i get a good one now, thx
kevin:)
great info on this phone...i'm thinking about getting one now.. thanks
This is the first video that I have seen with positive vibes. Great job bruv!
if i could make one change, id remove the macro, or even also the depth sensor too for the ultrawide back
dropping a like because you know what old school runescape is. I was legit playing osrs on my computer while watching this video.
Im glad to know its battery lifes good. Just ordered this in the USA. MY former Galaxy quite charging. Then i got a moto g6 and it is now lagging and wont connect to my apps. Or is very slow. Im enjoying this review a lot.
How is the volume for a13 compared to the a14 ? Which phone is better out of these 2 phone's Thanks
Using the a13 right now the battery life literally superman😃
Do cases for the A21s fit the A13? They _look_ the same size.
would this phone do good long term. Like over a few years would it last good. I want a cheaper phone like this but I dont want to have to keep buying heaps of cheap ones if a more expensive one would last longer and better.
kudos bruhv Cool review 😎 👌 👍
Thanks for the thorough review, I'm considering upgrading to this phone.
Comprehensive and informative . TY
Compare it with A21. They are the same price .
The A13 is bad comparing toprice .you can get A32 which is better with its screen an many features with the same price .
Excellent tutorial / review. Many thanks. BTW, My battery will outdo 99% of all others users. I don't game or use any online searches/ communications
Fantastic video would you say the a13 is better than the Nokia x10 ???? Thanks for sharing this Fantastic video with us
A Samsung rep told me the Samsung A13 needs a ( 25W Super Fast Charger with Usb-PD). He told me Samsung model # TA800NBEGUS was good for my phone, and would provide long battery life. It charges fast. Just make sure to enable (Fast Charging) in top dropdown menu in power saving icon,and select details then backspace and you will be at battery menu, then go down to (more battery settings) and turn on (Fast Charging). There may be a shortcut to do this, but i haven't had my A13 phone long enough to tell you.
Camera is still better than my iPhone 13 pro max, but we just ordered this for our 11 for his birthday so I doubt he’ll use the camera. The gaming and battery life is what we really got it for. Thanks for this review
Definitely not a better camera than the 13 pro, but not bad for the price
Lol wtf the camera on the samsung a13 is shit, specially the night mode 😂
Lmao this is how company be facepalm when they accidentally paid idiots to make fake comments
Yoo you really amaze me ...🥳🥳.. best review.
So a new out-of-the -box A-13 can't be charged until you run around town trying to find the correct adaptor... and how many adaptors do you have to buy if you've got multiple charging stations/locations? What brilliant mind in the Samsung marketing dept. thought this one out?
(A pair of 2000 year old chopsticks still work today... KISS/Keep It Simple Stuipid).
I don't use budget phones but what Samsung is giving these low costed phones is awesome 👍
I dont either I have the s21+ but watching people make TH-cam videos of budget phones is satisfying 😂😂.
@@sierramalella Yes
Great review. Can you confirm if this support GSM 800 or 1900 available in Colombia South America? tks
I watched another video about this phone… I’m now gonna convert from apple to android lol my iPhone 6s can now rest when I get this phone. Good day.
best case for this badboy? Thoughts?
The Samsung A13 5G is a mediocre upgrade from the A12 for the $70 price increase. The similarly priced $250-$350 Poco X4 Pro 5G has a 1080p 120hz AMOLED Screen, a fairly new Mid-Range SnapDragon 695 5G Processor, a Punch Hole Notch, Glass Back and Premium Construction, 108MP Camera Lens with an Ultra-Wide Lens, and a Unique Design.
Yes but that phones has it's own problems in the software.
@@lordludicrous3781 true, but the hardware for the price is a outstanding. It really shows how far Xiaomi can go with putting flagship level components in a Budget/Mid-Range device, while Samsung just tries to make a "$250 budget" phone with features found in $100-$150. Not a very competitive move by Samsung
@@typhoon_8086 I'll admit, Samsung could have done more with the A13 5g, they might make it's future successor the A14 5g better but who's knows.
@@lordludicrous3781 I guess I'm skeptical because Samsung has been a mess in the budget and mid-range categories. Like for example, they stopped selling their popular Tab S6 Lite when there was no Tablet to replace it, and they offered an Ultra-Wide Camera on the 4G A13 but not the more expensive 5G A13. Not to mention using the same Exynos Processor in both their $300+ A33 and $450 A53, which means that the A53 is not a good value since it has the same Chipset as the A33 but is more expensive.
Hi, I was wondering if you could please compare it to the a22 as I'm trying to decide which one to buy.
Are you reviewing A13 or A13 5G? PLease be specific
Hello Kevin I am stuck between buying this or the A14 5G which one should I get
Also consider the A15 or A05s. My A13 is holding up strong in terms of battery life but it has slowed down a bit. A14 will give you an extra year of software updates and security patches.
Is it usb c charger?
Compare the difference on A13 released in different continents
Some a13 have the wall adapters included.. May depend on the market
7:05 Storage expansion hack
My a13 5g doesn't have tv mirroring..smart view..I miss that app.that was on my a11 3g
Does this get the 4 years of updates?
Disappointed no charger, idk how they can not include that.
Kevin, I don't do gaming at all. I do just a little internet and GPS and text and talk. I was looking to buy this phone, but is there something out there that may be cheaper and just as good, but not looking for gaming at all.
Hi I just want to know that the front camera has 5 megapixel ? I thought its 8 megapixel accrdg to the specs? Pls clarify thanks
How long does the battery last then? If the phone is used frequently daily. Can anyone tell me, I plan to buy it?
why all phones are big & bulky?. why not A series come with 5.5 to 6" form factor too?
Compared to the iPhone 7 Plus which one is better. Might get this, my 7 has many problems like having only 1 screw and bad battery life. But I don't know which is better. Probably the A13 but lemme know what u guys think.
I got recently A13, and while its nice phone, lack of charger is problematic. It came with cabel that have two C port usbs, but no standard USB, that was bummer because my old phone Redmi Note 7 had normal cabel that had one C-usb port and one standard usb and of course came with charger. So in order to charge the phone, i got to invest additionaly and to get a universal C-usb charger (nope i dont inted to get original samsung one), but since its on wrranty i would probably return it and get Redmi Note 11 instead.
All is moving to C USB. A being phased out.
That is in-depth review of Samsung A13 5G. How can I make the two sim cards functional in Samsung A13 5G, since it does not have sim management, have sim toolkit? Please, help me out on this.
Likely one them not hook up . As at&t and verzion had trouble getting SIM cards to work. Yes I pick up basic 5G on verzion. But not all there 5G as the a13 doesn't support all verzion signal antanas
Got mine from Spectrum. Pure rubbish. They don't know how to fix it because they're incompetent. Samsung expects me to drive 20 miles across a metropolitan area to have it diagnosed. Doesn't work on T-Mobile, either. Wifi disconnects. 4G and 5G won't connect with -60dbm signal. Had it 30 days. Not the most expensive doorstop ever, but close.
Is a13 5g different from a13 4g? Because it sounds and looks different.
Great review. I need your opinion or anyone's opinion. I currently have an A20. But I need to get a new phone. I'm going to buy used( or in the case of this pre-owned) . So I could get this with a Tab A 8" tablet for $430 CAD, an S20FE for $400 or an A52(8 GB RAM 128 GB storage) for $370. I'm torn between the 3 even though there is also the option of an A32 in that price range or lower. There are some options I believe for this device in the 200 range along with the A32. I've never owned a flagship other than an S7 that was old when I had it. Anyway....what are your thoughts? I'm going back and forth. The bundle deal of this device and the tablet has me favoring that. I know any if these devices is quite a step up from my A20. I'm not a huge mobile gamer, don't take as many photos as I would like and like most, I use for most everyday things. Storage is very important, battery life, camera is as I would like to take good photos when I have the opportunity and something that is faster and can handle multi-tasking way better than my A20 . Sorry for the long paragraph.
I have the a20 and a13 . The A20 has a better screen and looks way nicer and the carmeas are better. But the A13 5g has morn rom and more memory and plus it pickups 5G
The A32 4g is a great phone. Only negative is it's fingerprint scanner.
Does this phone have QR code scanning? Some of the A12's did and didn't.
Awesome👍👍👏👏
Thanks :)

Does it have 5ghz wifi??
Can you compare the a13 with the A12 bro.
Will do!
Just got this phone an its Awesome even tho ima miss my LG K51 😪
Thank you, I really enjoyed your review and you are very well spoken!
So far I'm enjoying the phone. Just not happy about the gallery. After I create an album to move my pictures there to make it look more organized and neat. It stays in the pictures side. That means it's storying in two places where as other phones delete off the picture side once safely stored in the album of choice. Am I doing something wrong perhaps
Use move to album rather than copy to album
@@chrisball55 thanks for the comment. Tried both ways but it still stays in my pictures as well as in an album
@@yvonnenaidoo7324 hi it will always show in your gallery as that displays all photos of the phone and sd card, but it shouldn't double up on the photos if you move to album, if you copy to album it will create another copy of the photos and double up in the gallary
I am confused about the alert for the text messages when I turn on the alerts everything goes on email and other news information when really all I want to get is an alert for my text how do I do that? I really like the way you explain things
Was given this and still learning it. Downloaded a video onto sd card by way of screen xrecorder app but having trouble getting it to play..any ideas??
can you make a video in witch you compare it to the A22 4G ?
Please compare the A13 5G to the Poco X4 Pro 5G. It makes the A13 feel overpriced for what you get for the price
The thing is that you can’t use any European phones in the USA on cdma networks, not it automatically counts that out
the only downside is that it IS kind bad at games.. and thats it. otherwise you get a HUGE 1080p screen with Goriila Glass 5. long battery life, decent SoC for media and browsing needs and its freaking SAMSUNG not some chinese brand.
Previously owned an A20 , can i use my old wall plug to charge the A13 g?
Yo Kevin when your like scrolling through social media does the a13 lag
No
I can't find the sort app feature on A13, any advice please? Thanks
Hey! Can you test multi touch? How many fingers can it recognize?
3 different fingers

How come samsung a13 5G have no presence in cambodia? Brother
Idk about the low end Samsung phones. Really on the fence. How long will it last? Don't want to pay $1500 for a high end though.
My $180 Samsung J7 Perx is nearly 5 years old, and I’m only considering replacing it because it doesn’t support VoLTE
So probably 3-7 years if you take care of it
Battery life is brazy 🔋
Indeed 👆🏼
