This device has expired. Now what?

No more security updates will ever arrive for the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G. If it's your daily phone, the safest move is to replace it — ideally with a model that stays supported for years. The old one still makes a fine offline camera, alarm clock or backup device.

The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G in detail

How many years of updates does the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G get?

Released in December 2021, the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G received security patches until January 2026: 4 years and 1 month in total.

Among the 258 Samsung phones in our database, 126 were supported for less time and 113 for longer. The median is 4 years and 1 month.

Across all brands, the median for phones is 4 years.

The last patch came out 9 months ago.

Two schedules overlap here. New system versions stop in December 2024, security patches in January 2026. In between, the device stays on its last version but still gets fixes for security holes.

Can I keep using the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G?

Yes, it still works. But every security hole found after January 2026 stays open. For daily use with banking, messaging and passwords, a supported device is the safer choice. As a spare without your main accounts (alarm clock, music player, camera), it's still useful. Do a factory reset before you give it away or recycle it.
