The T3 take: A great free upgrade for Samsung Galaxy phone users
There's no doubt that, in my mind, this is the most impressive software update roll-out there has ever been in the mobile phone industry. Samsung has not just brought the new Android 13 operating system to just a few of its most recent and expensive phones, which has been the common behavior for years among phone makers, but has brought it to phones that have been on the market for years and come in at a variety of price points.
Indeed, when budget phones like the Samsung Galaxy A23 are getting Android 13 then you know that this is a comprehensive roll-out. Over 40 Samsung Galaxy devices now have access to Android 13 and the list keeps on growing, too.
And, you know, full credit needs to be extended here to Samsung, who is adding serious value to these phones and breathing fresh life into all of them. Which at a time when many phone users are going through a cost-of-living crisis and can't afford a new smartphone upgrade, will be very welcome.
Android 13 on Samsung Galaxy phones improves performance, battery life and security, as well as bringing great new features, themes and apps, too. As such, it is a must-grab update in my mind and I recommend all Samsung phone users who haven't already got the update to download and install it now.
