Samsung's midrange and lower tier phones are drastically improving, they used to be trash compared to their competitors, but now they're competing at the same level. Good job Samsung 👍🏾
@Rocky-ul5mi
Although i love Samsung's a33 and its significant upgrades in quality, excluding the charger to prevent waste is pretty condradictory since the chargers are now sold in separete boxes.
@Braxxy01
Samsung definition of budget phone is really different from other phones
@ninongvaper2969
you can't beat this. been using this phone for almost 1 week and i am by far inloved with this. came from xiaomi and used my poco but i can say i am loving this compared to poco.
@bruno2480
A33 in my opinion is a massive improvement from the A32 and A32 5G: better main camera (Has OIS), better night mode, better video recording (4k and 1080p 60fps- The A32 4G was limited to 1080p 30fps but the 5G one 4k 30fps but no 1080p 60fps) and thanks to the 25W and new chipset its more quicker to charge too and also much better design👍

Finally I got to see the video review of my a33 on gsmarena. Yes I bought it after 3 years plus of used from the poco f1. But to be honest gsmarena is too kind and being rather "linient" of those comments. My configuration is 8/128. Here are my thoughts are a month of use:
@adinnugroho6443

the camera is the best among what you've reviewed lately. I've never heard superb description of the camera lately but samsung was able to pull it off. Wow
@EfficientTrout
one thing good about Samsung is they are generous to put lots of RAM even in low end phones
@corcovado71
Good job, as always.
@adinnugroho6443
Is silly, Samsung that mocking Apple about "Ditching Audio Jack" now Samsung following it. Still grateful, I have phone that has Audio Jack
