As the hype for the latest Samsung Galaxy S22 flagship series cools down, Samsung is right on schedule to release its best-selling Galaxy A series to the market in 2022 as well. Today, Samsung officially unveiled its brand new entry-level smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G and A23 4G to the public.
Let’s start with the highlights. Both the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G and A23 4G feature enhanced durability with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front display(the same one used on the Galaxy Note 9), a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, faster 25W charging support compared to last year’s 15W, and upgraded cameras.
Samsung Galaxy A13 4G
Despite bearing a similar name to the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G launched last year, besides the connectivity, the Samsung Galaxy A13 4G actually has upgraded internals compared to the A13 5G.
The Samsung Galaxy A13 features a 6.6” FHD+ TFT LCD display with a refresh rate of 60Hz. Powering the phone is a 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging support and an unnamed octa-core processor (2.2GHz + 2GHz) under the hood(though previous Geekbench listings showed that the device was running on an Exynos 850). The device runs on Samsung’s latest One UI 4.1 based on Android 12.
For the back, the Samsung Galaxy A13 features a quad-camera setup with a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro and depth sensors. The selfie camera houses an 8MP f/2.2 unit.
The device weighs 195g, with dimensions of 165.1 x 76.4 x 8.8 mm and its housing is made of Samsung’s polycarbonate “glasstic” material. The phone comes in 4 pastel colours which are blue, peach, white and black.
It is available to be purchased in 3/4/6GB RAM + 32/64/128GB configurations.
Samsung Galaxy A23 4G
The Samsung Galaxy A23 is the successor to last year’s Samsung Galaxy A22. The big difference between it and its predecessor is the screen. Where the Samsung Galaxy A22 featured a 6.4” 60Hz HD+ AMOLED panel, the Samsung Galaxy A23 comes with a 6.6” 60Hz FHD+ TFT LCD panel.
Under the hood, the device runs on an unnamed octa-core processor with a base clock of 1.9GHz and a boost clock of 2.4GHz(Recent certifications mention the device running a Snapdragon 680). Keeping the lights on are its 5000mAh with upgraded 25W USB-C super fast charging support. The device runs on Samsung’s latest One UI 4.1 based on Android 12.
The device sports a quad-camera setup with a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro and depth sensors. The selfie camera houses an 8MP f/2.2 unit. You’ll find the fingerprint scanner on the power button to your right and a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
The device weighs 195g, with dimensions of 165.4 x 76.9 x 8.44 mm and its housing is made of Samsung’s polycarbonate “glasstic” material. The Galaxy A23 also features Gorilla Glass 5 at the front for enhanced durability. The phone comes in 4 pastel colours which are blue, peach, white and black.
It is available to be purchased in 4/6/8GB RAM + 64/128GB configurations.
Samsung mentions that the availability of both the Samsung Galaxy A13 and A23 devices will be rolled out gradually across global markets in 2022, and RAM and storage configurations may differ between countries and regions across the globe.
