Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy A13 and A23 duo in Vietnam market. These are the two cheapest smartphone models in the A series 2022 this year. Despite their accessible prices, the Galaxy A13 and A23 still have unique features of the A series that are rare for any smartphone in the same segment to have.
Galaxy A13 and Galaxy A23
With the orientation for young Gen Z users, Galaxy A series focuses on design, camera as well as battery life. These are the factors that young generations are interested in when choosing a new smartphone.
Characteristic appearance, many youthful color options
Galaxy A13 and Galaxy A23 possess the typical design of the Galaxy A series, creating a mark and distinctive feature for this product line, suitable for the nature of Gen Z.
The new Galaxy A duo has a youthful design
With a variety of color options such as Dynamic Blue, Personality Black, Passionate Orange, Galaxy A13 and A23 give young people a youthful and dynamic device. The Dynamic Blue and Enthusiastic Orange versions give an extremely “chill” tone, a comfortable and beautiful feeling to look at.

If the Galaxy A23 has the same camera cluster design as the more advanced A53 and A73 series, the A13 version has a main camera cluster with a “borderless” design like the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This is a rather special design style of Samsung so far on the A series aimed at the youthful Gen Z audience.
Main camera cluster of 2 devices
Due to the low price, the Galaxy A13 and A23 are only finished from glossy plastic on the back as well as the frame. However, this is completely acceptable. The plastic material that makes up the chassis for the device is relatively sturdy, feels comfortable in the hand and even gives the user the feeling that the case is not needed.
Cheap but still has a 50 “dot” camera with OIS anti-shake
Usually for low-cost models, users only get a camera system consisting of a 13MP main camera and one (or several) 2MP secondary cameras. However, on the Galaxy A13 and A23 duo, the device is equipped with 4 main cameras including a 50MP wide-angle camera (A23 with OIS added), 5MP ultra-wide angle, 2MP depth measurement and 2MP macro photography. Compared to other Chinese brands in the same price range or even more expensive, the Galaxy A13 and A23 have an extra ultra-wide-angle camera, suitable for the needs of younger users.
In terms of quality, in terms of actual experience, the camera on Galaxy A13 and A23 gives pretty bad quality. Photos taken sometimes have the wrong white balance, the colors are not too vivid, the photos are underexposed and lose details. Only the detail of photos when taken in sufficient light is okay because the main camera has a resolution of up to 50MP.
Same scene, but 2 cameras produce images with different white balance
In general, the camera on the cheap Galaxy A series serves the basic purpose of users (after all, it is cheap), but to say that for good pictures, perhaps the Galaxy A53 and A73 have to be mentioned. Higher price.
Huge 5000mAh battery, take a few days to charge
The battery life of the Galaxy A13 and A23 is a huge plus when equipped with a battery capacity of up to 5000mAh. If only for use with normal tasks, this duo can last up to 2-3 days of use without having to plug in a charger, which current flagships cannot do.
Besides, Galaxy A13 and A23 are also equipped with fast charging technology with a capacity of 15W and 25W respectively, helping to fully charge the battery quickly.
With a cheap price, what do buyers have to trade when choosing Galaxy A13 and A23?
As a low-cost model, the Galaxy A13 and A23 still have disadvantages that we will also mention in this article.
First of all, about the screen, Galaxy A13 and A23 are only equipped with TFT panels for not very high display quality, especially with not too high brightness, resulting in poor outdoor display.
The screens of both devices are not very bright
The second is about the camera, as mentioned, the quality of this camera cluster is not really impressive, only serving basic needs. However, Samsung has done a great job when it comes to 5MP ultra-wide cameras for both of these low-cost devices, which even OPPO with the double-priced Reno7 Z series does not have.
Finally, about fast charging, although the Galaxy A23 supports fast charging up to 25W, on par with the Galaxy S22, but the charger that comes with the device is only a 15W charger. Users who want to make the most of the 25W charging capacity will need to buy a separate charger with a C to C cord.
Of course, it has to be said again and again, at such a cheap price (4.7 and 5.7 million for Galaxy A13 and A23 respectively), users can hardly ask for a good device in all aspects. The shortcomings of the Galaxy A13 and A23 become acceptable in this price segment, even when compared to many other products in the same price range, the duo also has outstanding points, such as protected screens. by Gorilla Glass 5, OIS anti-shake camera (Galaxy A23), super wide-angle camera, relatively powerful Snapdragon 680 chip (also on Galaxy A23), great battery life…
Galaxy A23 also has a 90Hz screen
All the above advantages when considered in the price segment of this duo have made the Galaxy A13 and A23 smartphones worth buying in the segment, especially the Samsung brand that is trusted by many people.
