Samsung Galaxy M33 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Samsung Galaxy M33 5G - minimal compromises

The Korean company Samsung continues to develop the M-series of smartphones, aimed at not providing maximum autonomy and excellent functionality. Surprisingly, even the basic models of the line are ready to please the buyer with balanced technical characteristics, and the representatives of the middle price segment will be pleasantly surprised with their performance. The hero of today's review belongs precisely to the mentioned value category.

The design of the novelty has become more interesting due to the transfer of a 13-megapixel selfie camera to the upper left corner of the screen and reducing the frame of the latter. The design of the four cameras has remained almost unchanged, as well as the set of body colors. The plastic back panel and bezel slightly spoil the tactile sensations of an Android smartphone, but the phablet is now IP68 waterproof. At the same time, the additional strength and resistance to water did not affect the overall dimensions. The 6.5-inch IPS screen boasts FullHD + resolution and an impressive 120 hertz refresh rate. But in terms of brightness and contrast, it is inferior to AMOLED displays, which are used in a number of competitors.

The Mediatek Dimensity 720 CPU is a reasonable solution for low-cost Android smartphones, providing support for 5G networks, as well as good gaming capabilities. The chipset, coupled with 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC3 graphics adapter, will not leave without technological projects like Genshin Impact, although the graphics settings will have to be significantly cut. There is no claim to energy efficiency. This is due to both the processor and the huge 6000mAh battery. Indicators of active screen time will often approach 10-12 hours, but the charging itself cannot be called fast, it is better to leave the gadget at the outlet overnight. 128 / 256GB of ROM can be expanded with MicroSD cards , the lack of memory will definitely bypass the user.

The main 64-, 8-, 5- and 2-megapixel photosensors, although they did not receive optical stabilization, nevertheless significantly improved their evening photo capabilities. The detail has increased, most of the noise has disappeared. There is also less jitter in 4K video footage. But the sound of the single speaker is mediocre in quality, and the volume is low. You can praise the device for the presence of contactless NFC payment and a convenient side fingerprint sensor. As a result, the device evokes positive emotions, which are in no way overshadowed by small subtle flaws.
