Galaxy A13: The world's best-selling phone of 2022 — Samsung's rock-bottom A-series.
SpecEagle Editorial·Mar 2022·$159·Score 46/100
A13 was the best-selling phone of 2022 — a globally available, Samsung-badged FHD+ entry phone at the right price. Performance was minimal and the Exynos 850 felt every minute of its age; for first-time buyers and emerging markets, the badge and the four-year security floor were the whole reason it sold.
