SAMSUNG Galaxy A13 5G Cell Phone, Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone, 64GB, Triple Lens Camera, Infinity Display Screen, Long Battery Life, Expandable Storage, US Version, Black...and my thoughts.
I love this phone a lot. It replaces my Moto G Play 2021 which was a great phone until it stopped working at precisely a year after purchase. I am with Cricket Wireless at present and the last 3 phones I have purchase through them did teh same thing. Stop at one year. The only reason I purchased from them was because, for example, I could get this very Samsung Galaxy A13 5G phone with my service discount for only $169.99. Not bad! Not good, either, because I figured it was crap having been made just for Cricket and has their logo designed on the back. Nopesies! Not again. (Also, I did not have the money for a good phone) And, obviously, it works with Cricket. Immediately.
Now, about this phone I bought from Amazon. I love it! But already said that, so, here's why!
It seamlessly transferred absolutely everything from my old Moto on the sim using its own tech and the Switch app, or whatever it is called, all but about 7 apps that I just had to download and then recognized me for the distinct human I am, a man with skills and abilities you have never even heard of. I got most of those through osmosis by allowing Xrpcok the alien who lives in my walls, continue to do so. You'd love him! Nevertheless, it was all ready in under 5 minutes with no help from me, although I did tap teh screen when needed, so, that is power!
What I do not like about this phone is that it is not scratch-n-sniff technology, like Xrpcok's communication device and that it does not recognize my face well. I believe that "someone" changed the settings while I was in the Koi pond bathing, but I have no proof. But it won't recognize my face and that's a shame because it is a pretty dandy face. The other phones I have had did not seem to recognize my face, either, but that was during my peanut butter and honey phase and that delightful and selective concoction was everywhere. The phone, my hair, my BBQ apron, my artist's bib, the noise machines...I have 13, the cooler, well, everywhere...and I mean everywhere! So, No face recognition here, but that is likely just on me.
It has Android 12 now, still has 39 GB left after the tons f things I put on it, I use a lot of business and art as, and runs as fast as you would hope! And being able to load up to 1TB on this bad boy (I only use that expression this time to tell you to stop using it because it is not fair to small boys at all and its usage has to stop!) is great!
I won't mention all the features that are already listed in the product page because I am pretty sure you know how to read and if you read reviews, it is after reading about the product on its page and this is just your research. I did extensive research before buying this phone, more so than ever. Because I don't have the money for a new phone like this...and yes, everyone knows this is a budget phone, but an awful lot for me.
It has all the bells and whistles you need...except for real ones...I love bells, don't you? The can be tiny or gigantic beasts high in a tower. I have not been in any towers lately because I have a fear of heights. But I could be coaxed up into one by cotton candy. So, start planning. Oh, and you would probably love bringing this phone up there, too, to take phenomenal shots on...no, not the landscape and views, but my petrified face and glee combined, thanks to the cotton candy. And this phone would probably capture every crystal in it! Great camera and one of the reasons I wanted this. I need a good one for my art. This does that beautifully! No great art editing included but you can download that for free. But it does have great additions in teh phone in the camera and photos similar to my Galaxy Tab S7, which was a great surprise.
Mine has no rocker button for volume but two separate up and down buttons. That concerned me because NONE of teh photos I saw anywhere at all had three buttons on teh side, only two. I contacted Samsung directly, gave them all the info they needed and then downloaded an app called Samsung Tutor (I think) and they got into my phone and checked everything. Everything. They told me I had the latest version that had two separate volume buttons that made the selections much easier...and confirmed my phone was perfectly valid in every way! Fantastic! I could hear some clanking in the background on the call and got exceptionally hungry and invited my tutor to luncheon. He sadly declined and I went to Walmart to find someone who would. Barbra was there, as always, so we had Honey Buns in the parking lot. I would have preferred Marcus the stocker, but Babs in cosmetics said I am pretty.
Oh, I forgot where I was. Reviewing this phone. Well, it is extremely fast, holds the charge well even under heavy use, the colors are fantastic, the images perfect, the sound in only one bottom speaker is very loud and sounds absolutely wonderful, even more so using the headphone jack, and everything else about this phone, and I am extremely picky, is great! I feel like I bought a more expensive phone and it, in a small way, reminds me of my tablet!
I could care less about its plastic or somewhat bland shell build, I have a great case and protector and were it any heavier, I'd think it was a device that Xrpcok slipped in to control me when he's back inside the walls. But, maybe it is because my case is quite techy-looking, to me. I think you need one for protection. Not personal protection, although, I suppose it could be used. It is, remember, a really good, powerful phone!
There's nothing wrong with this phone. It is pretty loaded and wonderful! I know people with the more overpriced Galaxy phones and this one is pretty much just as good and I recommend it! An expensive phone doesn't make one any better, just uses up more money they could have used for things like a cotton candy machine, and they are pricey for the industrial kinds. And that's the only kind to have. This phone is priced perfectly and as a pure Galaxy from Samsung, should last for years. I just hope it doesn't slide into the Koi pond if I take it outside...
Giftable? Absolutely!

No charger
The phone looks beautiful on arrival, but there was no charger attached basically. The USB in the image is what came with the phone and no adapter included.How exactly do they want people to charge the phone?It's difficult to deal with charger issues, I may have to send it back.
