Samsung Is Relaunching The Galaxy A13 4G With A More Powerful Chip
Samsung may soon announce a new version of the Galaxy A13 4G that will have a different chipset from the currently available version. Samsung is not new to releasing the same phone with different processors, with the Galaxy S series being the perfect example. The Galaxy S22 series, depending on the country, either comes with Samsung's own Exynos 2200 processor or Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor.
The Galaxy A13 4G was announced in March 2022 and is sold in the United States. Samsung also sells a 5G version of the smartphone, which is its cheapest model with support for 5G networks. Both phones are priced under $250 and are among the affordable models in the Galaxy A series.

Save for the new processor, the rest of the specs might be the same as the source mentions the display is still a 6.6-inch LCD panel with a 2408 × 1080 resolution.
The Helio G80 is a 12nm chipset that was announced in early 2020. Sporting eight cores made up of two Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. It offers better performance than the Exynos 850, which has eight Cortex-A55 cores. However, it is not as powerful as the Dimensity 700 inside the Galaxy A13 5G.
