Samsung Galaxy A13 5G was launched recently as a mid-range offering in the US market. It squares up with the OnePlus Nord N200 5G and the Moto G Stylus 5G. Sources at SamMobile have hinted that the Galaxy A13 is getting the Android 12 update. The Android 12 update is reportedly being pushed to the carrier-locked version of the device for now. It is however probable that the update will also extend to the unlocked model.

There is no mention of the specific carrier-linked model for the Android 12 update. The new update for the budget Galaxy A13 5G is however expected to extend to all carrier versions in the US.

The Galaxy A13 5G is priced at $249.99 and there is the likelihood of another update to Android 13 next year. The availability of multiple Android upgrades for the Galaxy A13 5G is what puts it ahead of its competitors. Android 12 and One UI 4.1 are both on offer for the smartphone which sports a 6.5-inch display.

It is noted that the OnePlus Nord 200 5G also got the Android 12 update a few days before the Galaxy A13 stateside. However, it is highly improbable that the Nord 200 5G will be in line for the Android 13 update in 2023. As for the Moto G Stylus 5G, it is still running on Android 11. It will also most probably only get support for Android 12. The combination of the Android 12 update and the One UI 4.1 bring significant improvements to the Galaxy A13 5G. An array of improvements including in the Gallery menu, Samsung Health, Google Duo, and Smart Things Find, among others are available.

Samsung Galaxy A13 5G has been subject to multiple leaks and certifications. Earlier this month, the device passed FCC certification and yesterday, the phone’s high-resolution renders were surfaced.

The user manual showcases the smartphone and reaffirms its design. It does match the recently leaked renders as it has the water-drop display at the front and a triple camera system at the rear. It is confirmed to have a 50MP main camera lens and macro sensor. Unfortunately, the resolution and the sensor size of the third lens is unknown.

Furthermore, the manual revealed that the phone will boot on Android 11 out of the box and will run on the OneUI. It will have dual-SIM support and feature a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port.

In addition to this, the older reports suggested that the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 octa-core SoC. It will be paired with 4GB/6GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB internal storage. The smartphone will pack a 5,000mAh battery and is expected to have support for 25W fast charging technology.
