my previous phone was the samsung a70 so the a33 5g is a definite upgrade for me. With modern phones nowadays, you really can't have them all without having to pay a premium price (which is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion) but to compare the two phones side by side, the a33 5g has slightly better features.

Hi wouldn't say these are reasons to "avoid" a device but simply features that the device doesn't have . When you say avoid, means trouble . You as reviewer you're kinda playing 2 personalities in the same review , fan/hater . It's bad but I like it and I don't mind . Basically on every single point you make . This are A series , that's the point of these devices , bring decente specs for lower prices , obviously the main change it's the device body . Ain't no difference from any A series . That's the whole point about Samsung A series . For the price ? Nothing to complaint about . Although I give you the notch remark but saying "avoid" it's a quite strong word .

[@wooohooo103]

Sounds more like 7 nitpicks that aren't deal breakers for a phone that works. It's a significant upgrade in power from the previous generation A52 (yes! I said A52 not A32 which is the equivalent) plus if you're replacing a phone more than 2 years old (like an oppo reno 2) this will essentially outperform that anyway. The real question is this: how does an A33 5G stack up against present day rivals in the same market segment?

[@ammarjo1493]

Are you kidding me, you want a wireless charging feature in mid range phones that cost way less than premium devices??? Only very few limited midrange phones managed to have wireless charging feature but it cost around 500 euro... What a stupid reason to avoid for it's price range..

The reasons you mentioned are not directly related to it's segment. Other than the headphone jack the rest of the stuff is pretty much non existing on previous midrange samsung phones.

Replaced my Moto G5g plus with this 2 months ago as the Moto was stuck on Android 11 and no more security updates. Bad move. This Samsung is so full of bloatware and duplicate apps and apps I do not want it's ridiculous. So many can't be uninstalled, so many can't even be disabled and even if you manually stop the crap they start up again in the background. One called 'digital wellbeing' restarts and uses 6 to 7% of your battery off every charge to monitor what you are doing! I do not need monitoring! Last Samsung I will ever buy!

All valid points. I am not an expert on phones, BUT when you consider that you get water/weather resistance, good cameras (including OIS) and display, buy a cheap cover for peace of mind, then great!. I failed to add that, personally, to get this on contract in the UK with 5GB of data (June 2022) could cost £17.99 a month!! (or about $21!! )That is about £2 a month more than I pay for PAYG!!. Already have a fast charger from a previous Samsung!) A very minor niggle to need an adapter for headphones! Proof enough that you don't need the ultimate flag ship phone to satisfy everyone. A bewildering wealth of phones for the consumer now! So all reviews like this one do help you make an educated choice, and help save money too!

[@camelCased]

Have to upgrade from Nokia 8.1 because its battery has swollen (of course I can get it repaired, but I'll need a phone meanwhile, and then I won't want to return to 8.1 anymore and will sell or give it away). Unfortunately, all modern devices are larger than I would want. Also, I don't want to spend more than 300 EUR, it's just not worth it, I'm not a gamer, I don't care about super good 4K videos or photos, I just want a solid future-proof workhorse with a good battery. So my only choices seem to be the Sony Xperia 10 V or Motorola Edge 30 Neo. But A33 5G is also tempting, despite having a bit larger screen. Tough choice.

[@AverageDudelol]

i have it i have the blue color and so far its as good as an iphone 11, its fast its smooth the battery is amazing, charged it to 100% yesterday and rn its at 10% even after more than 24 hours (i used it most of the tims playing pubg cod rec room ark youtube and netflix so its pretty good) the resoultion could be better (1440p would be great compared to this 1080p screen) i think its 120 hz the design is amazing and is comfortable to hold, ima be honest i hate the fact it has no headphone jack, the camera is, not the greatest, its good outside but inside the quality seems worse

The first reason: Number 1 and most important of all: It will stop working out of nothing. After 1 year my phone A33 5G committed suicide, the EMMC as the technician told me is dead. Part of the brain received the suicide bullet and now the Re-partition "part of the memory" is fried , it is like killing the Hard Disk... In 20 years never happened to me with all kind and brand of phones cheap or expensive, this is the worst.

Hello, Just seen your video, I have to disagree with your seven reasons, why? I had a note9 which I loved had it for two and a half years and the phone wont work now, took it to get repaired but it would cost to much, the phone got burnt out eventually by being charged on a wireless charger, I like the plastic body of the 33 and not glass on the note, less to break. I did see somewhere that you can do a similar thing to DAX on the 33 but Bluetooth so that's no game changer, And as for performance the 33 works just fine, in fact better than the note. The tear drop is no issue just don't look at it and it wont bother you lol. Great vid tho.
