Why is my phone stuck in 32 bit mode and my phone's hardware is 64 bits?

[opmanherebro]

When I try to find a way to switch to 64 bits, I can't because I'm in the U.S. my phone is from the U.S. and I can't do anything about it.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A13 5G and it's from AT&T.

The hardware in your phone (MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip) is a 64-bit processor.

But in the U.S., Samsung ships the A13 5G with a 32-bit version of Android, mainly because of carrier app compatibility (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. still have legacy 32-bit apps).

That’s why you don’t see an option to “switch to 64-bit.” It’s not something you can toggle in settings—it’s baked into the system image Samsung provides.

Phones sold in other regions sometimes do run 64-bit Android, but U.S. carrier restrictions lock yours to 32-bit.
