Recognizing the importance of the mid-range market, Samsung offers a complete Galaxy A family. Supposed to be one of the most affordable, the Galaxy A33 5G has assets to spare.
Like many other smartphones of 2022, the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G has seen its price increase, but this inflation is really felt on the technical sheet. We particularly appreciate the design borrowed from the Galaxy A53, which allows you to take advantage of a particularly welcome IP67 certification. This terminal also swaps the LCD screen of its predecessor for a much more pleasant AMOLED panel on a daily basis. Last but not least, its main sensor does well in bright environments. Its general power and its autonomy are however a little limited, but unless you want to indulge in video games, this should not weigh too much on a daily basis. It is therefore an affordable and controlled device, which could even overshadow its big brother.
Strong points
- Good Oled screen.
- IP67 waterproof certification.
- Convincing wide-angle and 48MP daytime mode.
- Long time software tracking.
Weak points
- SoC that lacks a bit of breath.
- Tendency to heat up in game.
- Autonomy down compared to the Galaxy A32.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Edge 20 is a good representative of Motorola’s new ambitions. The smartphone stands out thanks to an excellent Oled screen, a powerful chip without being too energy-consuming, as well as a solid autonomy. Without achieving excellence in photography, it offers a triple sensor capable of adapting to a large number of situations. If the lack of IP certification or microSD port is not a major flaw for you, this Edge 20 could well become a serious choice in the mid-range market.
