Samsung<\/span> is going all-in on budget phones. The tech giant on Wednesday announced the Galaxy A13, a $250 phone that comes with 5G support and a triple-lens camera and that launches through ATT on Friday. At that price, the Galaxy A13 5G is even cheaper than the\u00a0Galaxy A32<\/span>, which was Samsung’s cheapest 5G phone when it debuted in the US in April for $280.<\/p>\n

Samsung is best known for its line of high-end Galaxy S phones<\/span>, but the Galaxy A13’s launch is another sign that the company intends to continue expanding its footprint in the budget market, an area where Google<\/span> and Motorola have seen success. In addition to the Galaxy A13 5G, Samsung is also announcing the Galaxy A03S, which launches in January, starts at $160 and comes with a triple-lens camera. Samsung also previously launched a slew of cost-conscious Galaxy A series devices in the US in April<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A13 appears to be a successor to Samsung’s<\/span> Galaxy A12, which debuted for $180 in April and lacks 5G connectivity. But the Galaxy A13 improves on its predecessor in a few other ways besides the addition of 5G <\/span>support. It comes with twice the amount of internal storage (64GB compared to 32GB), a screen with a 90Hz adaptive refresh rate and a 50-megapixel main camera. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy A13 has a screen that measures 6.5 inches.<\/p>\n

However, the Galaxy A13 comes with a triple-lens main camera compared with the Galaxy A12’s four-lens system. Along with that 50-megapixel main camera, you’ll get a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth camera on the Galaxy A13. The Galaxy A12, by comparison, features a 16MP main camera, 5MP ultra-wide camera, 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth camera. There’s also only a 5-megapixel front camera on the Galaxy A13, while the Galaxy A12 has an 8-megapixel selfie camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A13 5G has a 5,000 mAh battery, like its predecessor, and supports 15-watt fast charging. It runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 700 processor, which is also found in the wallet-friendly RealMe 8 5G. It’s also important to note that the Galaxy A13 5G supports sub-6GHz 5G and not millimeter wave 5G<\/span>, which is significantly faster but only operates at short ranges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the Galaxy A13 5G seems like a successor to the Galaxy A12 in name, it feels more like a cheaper version of the Galaxy A32. Both the Galaxy A13 5G and Galaxy A32 5G come with a 6.5-inch screen, a 5,000 mAh battery and 64GB of storage. The A13’s LCD display has a 720-by-1,600 resolution, which is similar to the A12, but the 90Hz refresh rate is more like the A32’s display. The Galaxy A32 also runs on a similar processor designed for midrange phones, the MediaTek Dimensity 720. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Where they really differ is in the camera, considering the slightly pricier Galaxy A32 5G comes with a 13MP selfie camera and a four-lens rear camera that includes a 48MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, a 5MP macro camera and a 2MP depth camera.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A13 5G will be available through ATT starting on Dec. 3 and will come to T-Mobile and Samsung’s website in January. If the Galaxy A13 5G turns out to be anything like the Galaxy A32 5G, it’ll be a promising option for those shopping for a basic and affordable 5G phone. CNET’s Andrew Hoyle was impressed with the Galaxy A32’s<\/span> long battery life, decent performance and vibrant design, so we’re hoping the Galaxy A13 5G will make a similar impression.<\/p>\n

Samsung is releasing the Galaxy A13 5G just before a couple of other promising midrange smartphones are expected to make their debut. Apple is rumored to release another version of the iPhone SE <\/span>in early 2022, while Korean news website DDaily<\/a>\u00a0reports that Samsung could introduce the Galaxy S21 FE<\/span> in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Correction, Dec. 1<\/strong>: This story originally misstated that Samsung had brought its Galaxy A series phones to the US in April. Phones in that series were sold in the US back in 2019<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
