Galaxy A13 Priced Around 200,000 Won Enters Production... Will It Be Released by Year-End?

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Samsung Electronics has started production of the budget smartphone ‘Galaxy A13,’ which is expected to be released by the end of this year or early next year.

On the 27th, IT media outlet GSM Arena reported that Samsung Electronics has begun production of the A13.

The A13 will be released in two versions, a 5G model and a 4G model, unlike its predecessor in Samsung’s mid-range ‘Galaxy A’ series, which only supported LTE 4G models. On this day, GSM Arena reported that the A13 4G model will feature a vertically aligned quad (4) camera setup on the back, one more than the 5G model. The 5G model is expected to include a ▲50MP main camera ▲5MP ultra-wide camera ▲2MP depth camera, while the 4G model is anticipated to add a macro camera to this lineup.

For the application processor (AP), it is expected to use the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset to reduce costs. The RAM options are reported to be 4GB and 6GB, with storage capacities of 64GB and 128GB. The display is expected to be a 6.48-inch LCD with FHD+ resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio.

Additionally, the battery will feature a large 5000mAh capacity, similar to its predecessor, and is expected to support 25W fast charging. Other features likely include a USB-C type port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Furthermore, IP67-rated water and dust resistance, previously applied mainly to the flagship ‘Galaxy S’ series, is also expected to be included. The A13 5G model is anticipated to be priced around 200 euros (approximately 270,000 KRW) in the European market. The predecessor, the ‘Galaxy A12’ 4G model released in February, had a retail price of 275,000 KRW.
