Both on-screen test results are great too. The Shannon 318 LTE modem inside the Exynos 850 is far from cutting edge with just Cat.7 LTE speeds, but it sips power and manages both impressive standby and call times. So we weren't surprised to see the Galaxy A13 scoring an impressive 114 hours of total endurance in our testing. Also, while the Exynos 850 is far from the best performing chipset, it is quite power-efficient with its 8nm process. The Samsung Galaxy A13 has a big 5,000 mAh battery which is great to see. The latter was more than happy to offer-up FullHD quality and match the native resolution of the display. On the plus side, there is the highest Widevine L1 DRM certification, which means that the Galaxy A13 has access to HD and higher quality streams on services like Netflix. Widevine L1 allows for FullHD streaming.Neither the display can handle HDR content nor can the hardware decode HDR streams. Unsurprisingly, there is no HDR support on the Galaxy A13. While the primary colors aren't too far off, and the range is there, the calibration is off, and everything is noticeably cold and blue. The default color profile seems to target the DCI-P3 color space instead of the narrower and easier sRGB for some reason. The Galaxy A13 lacks any sort of color modes or color adjustments, which is typical for lower-end Samsung devices, so you don't get to tune it either. There is the occasional animation stutter and slowdown while rendering the UI itself due to the underpowered chipset, too, which just adds to the nasty visual artifacts and smearing, but a decent part of it is still to blame on the panel.Ĭolor accuracy is mediocre. The Galaxy A13 refreshes its panel at a standard 60Hz, and even then, its pixels are slow to react, which leads to smearing and ghosting, particularly with fine text in motion. But still, it's indicative of lower-quality panel.Īn arguably bigger issue is pixel response time. That's not a major deal on a relatively small display, and you probably won't be able to notice it in practice. While measuring the brightness on our Galaxy A13 review unit, we also noticed that it is quite uneven. Also, we reiterate that while auto-brightness and hence the brightness boost are present, they don't always work as expected and are far from reliable due to the absence of an actual light sensor on the A13. Not class-leading, but not bad at all and decently usable outdoors. As we mentioned, there is an auto-brightness mode too, and it can boost brightness beyond that. It gets just shy of 500 nits on the slider in manual mode. The Galaxy A13 is not too shabby in terms of brightness and contrast. The display on the Galaxy A13 is unfortunately held back by its sluggish pixel response. The panel identifies itself as SyncMaster 8224 and is a PLS TFT LCD, which is basically Samsung's variation on IPS technology for anyone not familiar with the matter. It has a 20:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1080 x 2408 pixels, which works out to about 400 ppi density. The Galaxy A13 comes with a spacious 6.6-inch display.
