Samsung is busy updating its vast portfolio of smartphones and tablets to Android 13. The brand has already released a stable version of Android-based One UI 5 to a sizable number of its mid-range, flagship, and budget devices. In the latest development, the Korean OEM is extending the Android 13 update to the Galaxy A13. This will be the first major software update for the affordable smartphone. Let’s look at the details.

The One UI 5 update for the Galaxy A13 is rolling out with the firmware version A135FXXU2BVL2. It includes all the new Android 13 features as well as the November 2022 patch that fixes many security vulnerabilities. As of writing this, the software is being seeded in multiple Asian and European countries, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, France, Georgia, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and the UK.

As usual, Samsung is pushing the updates in batches, so it might take a couple of days before the update reaches every unit. If you own the Galaxy A13 and reside in the above-mentioned countries, you can manually check for the update by going to Settings, and selecting Software Update.

The Android 13-based update brings loads of new features and improvements with itself. There are some minor changes to the UI, including an expanded color Palette feature, bigger notifications icons, and better blur effects in the notifications area. The software also includes more quick setting toggles, Stacked Widgets, and improved lock screen customization.

To recall, the Galaxy A13 was launched earlier this year in March with an octa-core Exynos 850 processor. It sports a 6.6-inch LCD display with Corning Gorilla glass 5 protection. The handset features a quad camera setup on the back with a 50MP primary sensor, 5MP ultrawide lens, and 2MP macro and depth sensors.
