But with Samsung’s A13 5G handset on the market, you’d be forgiven for sticking with what you know.
What is the Galaxy A13 5G release date and price?
The Galaxy A13 5G replaces 2021’s A12 as one of Samsung’s lowest-priced phone. It costs £179 in the UK, having launched on 25 March. At the moment, it’s tricky to get your hands on the 5G variant of the A13, though you should be able to find the 4G variant in most places. We’ll go through the best retailers and prices below. The handset released on 8 April in the US, where it costs $249.99 at Samsung, where you’ll also find the 4G variant for $189.99. (It’s worth noting that the Galaxy A12 is still sold by Samsung in the US. It launched at $179.99, so any price below that is a bargain!)
