      a9, 19 May 2022also a53 5g 6.5 inches- Li-Po 5000 mAh - 113h endurance ra... moreBoth phones using same chipset, so standby drain should be about same. Maybe the AMOLED display used by the A33 is less efficient despite smaller in size.

                The review tries to sweep the poor battery rating under the rug. The 1280 soc is not good.

Curiously, the A73 is also getting the same treatment as A33. Only the A53 getting monthly security updates.

                    Glad to see Samsung catching up in the midrange segment (perhaps the budget segment for certain regions, depending on your consuming power). One thing which I feel kinda weird is that Samsung decided to drop the AOD feature on the A33 5G, it's a weird move for me but it's not a deal breaker. Xiaomi and Realme aside, Samsung is probably the only major brand that provides stereo speakers at this price range (where similarly priced Vivo and Oppo doesn't give you).

                      A53 with a bigger display scores better in the battery test. That's weird because A33 and A53 both have the same chipset and display

                        Samsung is punching where Xiaomi did years ago. And is beating him IMHO.
                        Those are great specs for price. 4K selfie video don't have many flagships lol. Just don't buy with 4GB RAM

                          Prices here for the A33 is quite wrecked at $400 while the Note 11 Pro+ is at $320, if the A33 were priced here at $280 that would've been a sweet deal.

                            SO glad to see MicroSD as a 'Pro' :-D

                            And eveyrone should DEF take a A52s 5G over this anytime ;)

                            Exynos 1280, sadly, isn't on part with SD778. Not even in battery life or camera and so on. I hope they'll keep producing it!

                              photos are oil painting.

                                The A3X series used to be gimped in some way, meaning it was worth spending more for the A5X series. However, that gap is disappearing now that the camera performance, including OIS, is solid. The only disadvantage is the notch and slower updates compared to the A5X and A7X series. It seems as though Exynos models need 5,000mAh batteries to get decent performance, whereas Qualcomm models can make do with 4,500mAh. As for including a USB-C cable without a charger; just include a case instead!

                                  A23. A33 and A53 have already been reviewed. When's A73 coming?

                                    The camera page is now fixed, sorry about that!

                                      Seems like a no brainer for this price tag 👍

                                        No Charger in Box
                                        No Audio Jack (And not even a true stereo speaker setup to counter that)

                                        Only thing I'd praise Samsung for is their continued software support. 5 years of support is amazing but the removal of a charger in box and the audio jack are unforgivable imo
