AI Snapshot

The world's favourite cheap Samsung.

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.
