Design and display
Samsung Galaxy F13 has a glass front with a plastic frame and plastic back build. There is nothing exciting about the design as it has the same design seen on most of the Samsung mid-range smartphones launched this year. There is a rectangular camera panel on the back that houses camera sensors and an LED flash. Samsung branding on the bottom of the back panel sums up the minimalistic design of the phone.
The phone weighs around 207 grams and is 9.3mm in thickness. It is available in waterfall blue, sunrise copper and night sky green colours. For biometrics, the phone has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and also has a face unlock feature.
On the front is a 6.60-inch PLS LCD display with a resolution of 1,080*2,408 pixels and 400 PPI density. The display supports a 60Hz refresh rate. The display has a waterdrop notch that houses a camera sensor. The display has Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
Cameras
There is a triple camera setup on the back panel of the Samsung Galaxy F13. The 50MP main camera is accompanied by a 5MP ultrawide camera sensor with 123 degrees FOV and a 2MP depth sensor for portraits. On the front, it gets an 8MP selfie shooter with an HDR feature. This has pretty much been a standard camera setting in smartphones of this price range and can almost be seen on almost every other smartphone as well.
For the video recording option, both the front and back cameras on the phone can record up to 1080p resolution and up to 30fps. The main camera on the back also has a digital zoom feature and can zoom up to 10x. The camera sensor has an autofocus feature, but there is no OIS.
Performance and storage
Samsung Galaxy F13 runs on One UI 4.0 based on Android 12. The phone is powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 850 (8nm) chipset while the graphical duties are handled by Mali-G52.
Though the phone is available for up to 8GB of RAM storage, Samsung currently is only offering a 4GB RAM variant in Nepal. There is 128GB of internal storage on the phone. The memory can be further expanded up to 1TB with a microSD card and the phone has a dedicated slot for it.
