Samsung Galaxy A13 4G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Samsung Galaxy A13 4G - improved basic level

Smartphones of the lower price segment from the Korean company Samsung are much more popular today than a few years ago. The manufacturer is gradually introducing both advanced functionality and good autonomy into inexpensive models. The hero of today's review, in addition to the above qualities, also added a well-designed design that copies the features of the flagships.

As noted above, the appearance of the novelty turned out to be quite successful. The block of four cameras does not protrude from the case and looks relevant, beautiful, pleases with the variety of colors of the rear panels and the convenient location of the side fingerprint scanner. With the front surface, everything is not so rosy. The display bezels are hard to miss, and the teardrop-shaped 8MP selfie camera is downright frustrating. The plastic used hardly collects fingerprints, but its resistance to scratches and chips is mediocre. The IPS-panel itself is bright and contrasting, and the high resolution of FullHD + is not deprived. And although it does not have an increased image refresh rate, competitors also cannot boast of the indicated competitive advantage.

Specifications are unlikely to cause negative, as well as positive emotions. An Exynos 850 CPU, 3GB/4GB/6GB of RAM , and a Mali G52MP6 graphics accelerator perform well in web surfing or Android 12 interface playback. Of course, this is not a flagship application launch speed, but there are no serious lags either. But resource-intensive three-dimensional games like Fortnite should be left for Android smartphones at least in the average cost category. The size of the internal memory ranges from 32 to 128GB , depending on the version of the gadget, there is a slot for MicroSD cards in each of them.

Surprisingly, the photo capabilities of an affordable Android smartphone do not disappoint at all. 50-, 5- and 2-megapixel modules retain an abundance of detail during daytime shooting, without forcing photos to be buried in noise and other artifacts. When the lighting deteriorates, getting a high-quality frame is an order of magnitude more difficult, because not only is there no optical stabilization, but also the lenses necessary for evening photography. The video is recorded at FullHD-resolution, the videos are distinguished by realistic color reproduction and satisfactory detail, but they clearly lack smoothness. Battery life is the forte of an Android phone. A 5000mAh battery is enough for one and a half to two days of close communication with a mobile assistant, the battery is also characterized by fast charging at 25W. NFC contactless payments complete the portrait of a balanced device that is ready to defeat most of its opponents with a large-scale advertising campaign.
