SamsungGalaxy M13 Mobile Phone SIM Free Android Smartphone 4GB RAM 64GB Storage Light Blue []

Excellent phone

This is a great phone by samsung. Very easy to and takes great quality photos. Just what I was looking for and would for sure recommend to family and friends.

Indian version with note saying only for use with an Indian SIM, seller said it is fine in UK, it is.Pre-installed Special Indian Google app that comes up saying it is only for India.Pre-installed Samsung Pay Mini app that was designed for India. It sits in the app swipe area at the bottom of the screen, so is too easy to open, as a system app it cannot be removed, but can Force Stop it (and repeat when there is a system update or phone restart.Overall though it is a good phone,

Brought as a gift for partner he loves it. It's as good as my a52 and around the same size lovely pictures from the camera. Screen large and very clear. He's not a tech savvy man,but it's still got plenty of apps and features for a cheaper end phone. Ideal 1st phone for kids and anyone who's not too tech savvy.

I needed a new phone and decided on this one. Being an avid Apple user, this phone with the Android system took a little getting used to. If I have one small criticism it is with the rather cramped key board, but handling this was all part of the learning process. Recommended as an affordable and reliable alternative to more expensive devices.

I'm writing this review on my M13, & so far so good. My only concern is that the battery life seems short. My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy A12, in which the battery life had become very short. More time was spent charging the phone, than using it. And, considering it's new, the M13 battery is definitely not as good as it should be.Hey ho 😔

I had the Xaomi Redmi note 9 which unfortunately developed a fault after a software update so sent it away under warranty and the repairer's managed to lose it somehow so with the refund I was limited to which phone I could choose to replace it. This Samsung galaxy m13 was on offer for £129 so being a Samsung I decided to give it a try because I have a Samsung Tablet which is excellent. I've had the phone for two weeks now and if I am being completely honest I am not that impressed with it. I used to charge the Redmi every two weeks but this has to be charged every two days with exactly the same use. It also does not have a quick charge capability so takes 2 hours to charge from 40% to 100%. The fingerprint reader also seems to be a bit hit and miss too. I knew that when I got this it was a budget level phone so wasn't expecting too much but I am amazed at just how bad the battery life is.Another thing to know about this is that on the initial start up it's pre loaded with lots of useless apps that will swallow up the available storage. Also it doesn't have notifications for WhatsApp, it will make a notification sound but the screen will not light up, this includes WhatsApp calls as well. The message on the screen says that the software does not support this function so I don't know if it's the Android 13 or the WhatsApp software.If you need a phone on a budget and don't mind having to wait for 2 hours while it's charging on a daily basis then it is good value for what you get but if battery life is an important part of your requirements then I probably wouldn't consider this one. I actually can't believe that I have had to give a Samsung product such a low score but the annoying niggles with it are outweighing the good points so far and for those reasons I am not able to recommend it unfortunately, 3/5🌟Update... It does actually have a quick charge facility after all. It is switched off and has to be enabled in the battery settings but even with it switched on it has only reduced the charging time by about 20 minutes.

I had, had my previous Samsung phone for nearly nine years and it was no longer working. This is a good replacement and does everything that I need from a phone. I don't play games or watch videos etc but use email, various banking apps, Google etc The only slight problem was that it needs a nano sim and not a micro sim. It does come with a lead but not an adapter. I am really pleased with it so far.
